"Oh..." Irene said in reflex. After responding, she blushed.


    If her belongings were taken in the future, and if she were to call him, would he help her?


    She took her bag and left quickly. Lucas looked at the trash in the bin. He was hesitating whether to call her back or not. In those


    few seconds of hesitating, she vanished from his sight.


    Once Irene returned home, after her shower, she got in her bed and picked up the photo frby her bed.


    The photo frwas a photo of her and her grandmother. It was taken when she was 16 years old. She insisted her photo be taken


    at a photo parlor.


    In the photo, the old woman smiled demurely because she rarely faced the camera.


    "Grandma, they took your bracelet but don''t worry. Once | return the money to them, I''ll get them to give the bracelet back," Irene


    said to the old woman in the photo. "Grandma, I''m doing well right now. Don''t worry about me. Mr. Lucas is a nice person. I''m lucky


    that | got to meet him. | will work hard and study well. I''ll try my best to get into Turlington University. Grandma, you said before


    that if | could get into Turlington University, | won''t need to worry in the future. | will try my best to live a life without any worries."


    In Aryadelle, after La had asked Eric out three times, she finally managed to meet up with him.


    "You''re still the same!" La looked at Eric''s perfect face. "It''s like you don''t age."


    "I''m older than | was," Eric ordered coffee. "I''ve recently been busy with my concert. I''m really busy; I''m not lying to you. I''m


    preparing to retire."


    La was drinking water. When she heard what he said, she choked.


    Eric passed her stissue. "My parents are old. | want to spend more twith them."


    "Uncle Eric, are you really nning on retiring?" La recollected her emotions and looked at Eric once more.


    "Hmm, I''ve settled it with thepany. After this concert, I''ll announce it to the fans." Then, Eric asked, "Are you getting used to


    working?"


    "No. Work is much more tiring than


    studying." La furrowed her brows.


    "Recently, | went through the diary |
