    Chapter 701


    Serenity seemed like she had changed her mind about the purple dress after hearing that Lucas liked


    purple. ‘Is she… Is she trying to draw a line with me?‘ Lucas felt ufortable at the thought that


    shed past his mind.


    Each of the fitting rooms here was a separate room. The staff guided Lucas and Lte to one of the


    VIP fitting rooms.


    When Lte appeared in the same dress Serenity had worn earlier, Lucas simply nced at her and


    said, “Not bad.”


    Lte knew she would not look as good as Serenity in this dress, especially when Serenity had


    already worn it before her. It felt like Lte was imitating Serenity. After what had happened earlier, it


    would be hard for her to get another dress instead.


    “Lucas, do you think I shouldn’t have argued with Serenity about the dress earlier?” An aggrieved look


    spread across Lte’s face. “I–I just wanted to wear the purple dress to make you happy. I remember


    you said you liked purple when you were little.”


    Lte paused slightly and continued, “My marriage wasn’t as good as I wanted. All these years, I’ve


    been thinking about my childhood. I thought about you. I thought maybe you’d eventuallye to me.


    Maybe you’d save me from the painful marriage. Then you showed up!”


    Lte got more and more worked up as she spoke. She reached out and grabbed Lucas by the arm.


    Lucas stared down at Lte and gently pulled his arm away. “Lte, I’m nice to you only because


    you saved my life. So, if you need or want anything, I’ll do my best to provide them, but that’s all.”


    Lte stiffened, her face turning pale.


    Was he implying that she should not be too greedy? Was he telling her not to think about what was


    never hers?


    Why? Because she had always been staying in a small town? Because she never went to college? Or


    is it because she had been married before?!


    Lte refused to give up. She was unwilling to ept this. How could she? Lte finally had a good


    life after meeting Lucas. If she could not be Mrs. Gomez, how long could thisst? If he married


    someone else, would his future wife be able to tolerate her?


    Lte had to fight for it. Only then could she get what she wanted!


    Jackson picked out a silver dress for Serenityter. Serenity put it on and could not resist admiring


    Jackson’s taste. He had a good eye for this. Serenity lookedpletely different in the silver dress.


    She seemed less reserved and more youthful.


    “I feel like I’m a few years younger,” Serenity said, looking at her own reflection in the mirror.

    “You speak as if you’re very old. You look very young to me,” Jackson said as he stood behind Serenity


    and looked at her in the


    mirror.


    “Come to think of it, you’re actually younger than me,” Serenity said. Jackson was born in November.


    They were the same age, but Serenity was born in July and actually a few months older than Jackson.


    “So? Do you want me to call you Sis?” Jackson smiled softly.


    Serenity had not heard Jackson call her Sis for a long time. Hearing this again brought back her


    memories. She had been unaware of Jack’s real identity when she had first met him. Otherwise, she


    would not have let him call her that!


    If Serenity had known Jack was the same fearful Jackson Valor, their story would have been very


    different. She had even regarded Jackson as her younger brother at a point in time, but… A blush


    spread across her face. Blushing, she looked breathtakingly beautiful in the silver gown.


    A few locks of hair were out of ce, and Serenity lowered her head slightly as she brushed her hair


    behind her ears. She never realized her gesture was too tempting for Jackson, making his heart flutter.
