His hair was usually neatly combed, but it was slightly ruffled at the moment with a few strands of hair dropping down to his forehead. His handsome face was usually cold and indifferent, but right now, it looked disoriented and lonely.
He was holding a small silver bracelet.
His eyes were fixed on the bracelet.
Lynette’s feelings were complicated when she saw the bracelet.
After Lynette a**umed Serenity’s identity, Lucas did not give her the silver bracelet. Instead, he kept it.
Sometimes, he would look at the bracelet even though she was right next to him, as if he was looking at something through
the bracelet.
What was he looking at? Serenity when she was little? The thought drove Lynette crazy with jealousy.
“Lucas,” Lynette bit her lip and tried to look sad, “Why didn’t you come pick me up from school? Why are you drinking alone here? Don’t you know how worried I was about you? I was afraid that something might have happened to you.”
Lucas slowly looked up and smiled gently at Lynette, but it felt more like a self–deprecating smile.
“I forgot. Sorry for making you worry,” he replied.
His words only made Lynette feel even more unhappy.
He always treated her like this, always so excessively polite and distant. He would not even take the initiative to hold her hand.
But today, in the photos Lynette saw online, he definitely took the initiative to hold Serenity’s hand and pull her into his car.
“Why are you drinking? Did something happen?” Lynette pretended to be concerned about him, “I know I can’t help you much, but I can at least listen to your problems. You confided in me back when we were children too, remember?”
She knew that because Serenity had told her those things when they were little.
She was bringing it up now so that he would remember what happened back then and treat her better because of it.
“When we were children…” Lucas mumbled. He put down the wine gla**, stood up unsteadily, and approached Lynette.
He was obviously d

Standing in front of her, he suddenly murmured in a soft voice, “Why is it you? Why couldn’t it be her?”
Lynette was stun

But when her eyes fe.. on the tiny bracelet, the sudden realization made her blood go cold.
He meant… whyConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
he the one who saved him and not Serenity?
“I…” She wanted to say something, but her throat felt so dry. His eyes made her feel guilty.
“It’s okay, I’m fine. I’m just a little tired, that’s all. Go, I want to be alone,” Lucas said indifferently. He then sat back down on the sofa, lowered his head, and gazed fixedly at the small bracelet in his hand.
It was as if that bracelet meant the world to him!
Lynette felt terribly jealous. She believed that she could definitely take Serenity’s place in his heart as long as she had enough time!
She would make him transfer everything he felt for Serenity when he was a child onto her!
