Chapter 117
Jessica did not expect Lucas to ask that. She subconsciously denied it. “No.”
“But that illustration.” Lucas paused, he realized that his previous attitude might have made Jessica get
him wrong.
Lucas then softened his tone and went on, “Don’t get me wrong. I’m just saying that the illustration
looks simr to the portrait of me you drew.”
“Mr. Thomas, have you read that story? That story is about a 14–year-old schoolgirl falling in love with
a high school boy. It had nothing to do with our marriage,” Jessica said calmly.
“Then why are the two pictures so simr?” Lucas asked again.
Jessica raised an eyebrow. She did not expect Lucas to see the subtle simrities in the two pictures.
She looked up at Lucas.
Jessica knew that Lucas could see her through once she hedged.
“It’s OK for you to deny it. I’m just asking. Don’t mind me.” Lucas didn’t push Jessica.

“Since you have already had an answer, why did you even bother to ask me?” Jessica somehow got
pissed off. With that, she tumed to leave.
Jessica didn’t understand. Why couldn’t Lucas talk to her peacefully like this before they got a divorce?
Lucas stood where he was. He saw Jessica leave with anger. Yet somehow, he felt pleased.
Lucas knew that Jessica must be the author of “Youth”.
But Lucas didn’t remember such a girl from school.
Lucas had always been reserved. When he was in high school, not many girls dared to approach him.
They all kind of feared Lucas.
Luna was the only exception. She always followed Lucas and Harl Originally, Lucas didn’t like that
tagalong. Yet gradually, Lucas
got used to that.
Lucas thought about it and decided to let Vincent look into it.
Jessica was distracted on her way back.
Jessica didn’t expect Lucas to care so much about that story she published. She thought Lucas didn’t
love her and thus couldn’t care less about her.
But if that was true, why did Lucas ask her about that so timidly?
Back then, Jessica did love Lucas.
Thus, Jessica wouldn’t allow anyone to use her middle school romance against her.
“Jess, what happened?” Hannah asked with concern when she saw Jessicaing back.
“Hannah, Lucas just asked me if I were the author of ‘Youth,” Jessica nced at Hannah and said.
“How did he know about that?” Hannah’s eyes widened. As Jessica’s best friend, Hannah knew that
Jessica was Cynthia.
Some hooligans once blocked Jessica’s way when she was fourteen years old. Jessica fainted after
she fought with them. Lucas saved her. After that, Jessica had a secret crush on Lucas. That was why
Jessica wrote that storyter.
Thus, the protagonist was based on Lucas.
Jessica knew that her love must be unrequited. She never thought that Luoas would respond to her.
Rtionships were not like trades. Lucaa didn’t like Jessica and Jessica had no resentment over that.
“Because of the illustration, he could tell that the two illustrations were drawn by the same person,” sald
Jessica “Hannah, let’s go
Like Jessica, Olivia and her friend Bailey also left the venue early. Olivia left because she was too
embarrassed to stay while Bailey left after she received a call from her father.
Lucas didn’t joke when he said about ending the cooperation.
Olivia returned home early and saw Reba in the corridor on the second floor. She did not want
Reba to question her, so she turned and hid in Lucas’ study.
Olivia saw the magazine and the copy of Jessica’s sketch on Lucas’ desk.
“That’s odd. Why would Lucas read such an old magazine?” Olivia muttered to herself as she flipped
open the magazine. Then, she saw “Youth”.
“Why does this illustration look like Jessica’s sketch I found?” Olivia constantlypared the two
pictures. She then read the story with curiosity
But soon Olivia felt bored because it was just a story of a young girl having a crush on her senior. She
did not understand why Lucas was reading a story like that.
Or perhaps Lucas read it only because the illustration looked like Jessica’s sketch?
An idea shed into Olivia’s mind and she thus had a n.
