You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 527

"I'll return to my room first."

Lucille then returned to her room.

Marie was the only one in the house. Aurora was two-and-a-half years old now. Ralph said that one

had to start small when learning to draw. He then sent her to a friend's home to learn to paint. She

would go there three times a week, and every time she went, she would go there for half a day.

Coincidentally, Aurora went to class that day.

Lucille returned to her room and turned on her laptop.

While she was learning the art of drawing from Ralph, she changed her phone to an old model to focus

on learning. Apart from texting and calling, the old phone could not do anything else.

As she faced the laptop, she secretly opened her Twitter account. She searched for Franklin's name in

the search bar.

However, she saw that his Twitter account was different from what it was three years ago. Not all of his

tweets were about models or celebrities.

On the contrary, for the past year, he had only made a few tweets, and most of it was business-related.

Lucille continued to scroll down. There were rarely any tweets about him for over a year.

"Could it be..."

Many thoughts surged through her mind.

She was standing behind Lucille for some time. Seeing that Lucille was looking through Franklin's

profile, she was a little surprised at first, but soon, she was relieved and said, "Miss Jules, after all this

time, your heart..."

"No!" Hearing Marie's voice, she quickly closed her laptop and explained, "I just saw him today. I was

curious and searched about him."

However, she felt guilty after she said it.

After serving Lucille for so many years, Marie knew her very well. She persuaded her kindly, "Aurora is

young now, so she doesn't understand. You may not feel it now, but a father is very important for a

growing child."

"Well, in the future... I will find her a father who is good to her if I meet one."

Lucille was unsure. Franklin was still deeply rooted in her heart. No matter who she was with, it would

be unfair to that person.

"How could a stepfather be as good as a real father?" "Marie, I will be fetching Aurora after I'm done

packing."

She knew that she could not continue this topic with Marie.

She got up, packed her things and prepared to fetch Aurora.

"Beep, beep."

Lucille went out of the art academy. When she arrived at the alley of the entrance, she heard the sound

of a car horn. She turned around and saw Zoel's car parked on the road outside the alley.

"You're going to fetch Aurora, aren't you? Let me give you a ride."

He lowered the car window and waved at her.

"Alright."

He would usually follow her to fetch Aurora. Lucille did not refuse, and she got in his car immediately.

On the way to pick her up, Lucille asked, "How did you know that I saw him today..."

The "him" she was referring to was Franklin.

Lucille had looked sullen for quite a while.

When Zoel drove, he glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and said with a smile, "Well, after you

opened up the art exhibition, I went there several times, and I always saw him looking at "Girl's Prayer."

Lucille's heart jumped. It seemed that the staff members were telling the truth. She silently looked down

and muttered to herself, "Why is he doing this?"

Ripples ripped across her heart. She had a clear answer as to why Franklin was doing these things,

and that was because he wanted to get back together with her...

However, she had been fooled once, and she would not do that a second time.

"Maybe he is someone that keeps reminiscing."

"Reminiscing?"

She looked at Zoel, and she did not understand what he meant.

"Just like a child, he likes things that don't belong to him. He won't cherish what he has, but when he

loses it, he would want it back."

He steered the steering wheel, looking straight at the road.

He could not see the disappointment on Lucille's face.

"So, that's why I will never be cherished by him, right?"

"No, he cherishes you a lot now, and that is because you don't belong to him."

Zoel said it meaningfully with a smile on his face.

The place where Aurora studied was not far from the Three K Art Academy. They arrived soon. Lucille

got out of the car and picked her up while Zoel waited outside.

Soon, she returned with Aurora.

Aurora was her usual self that day, looking like a little cat. Her face was painted with various colors, but

the base color was orange... She looked a little like a sunflower.

"Did your teacher teach you to draw on your face?"

When Aurora got in the car, Zoel teased her.

"Our teacher told us to draw the sun with something round," Aurora said.

She did not continue, but Lucille and Zoel understood the rest of it.

"You think your face is round, don't you?" When he asked, he tried hard not to laugh.

"Yes. Didn't Mom say that I have a round face?"

Aurora sat in her seat and answered seriously.

Zoel turned his head and looked at her dirty face. Even her hair was dyed with paint. He then looked at

Lucille, who was sitting aside with a worried face.

Fortunately, all the paint used was safe and made from natural ingredients. It didn't matter even if

children ate it, but it was a little difficult to wash off.

"What did the other children draw?"

While Zoel was driving, Lucille grabbed Aurora's little hands, which still had colorful paint on them, and

rubbed them hard.

"Because I used my face, everyone drew a sun on their faces as well," Aurora said, her beautiful eyes

filled with pride. "Everyone praised me for being clever." Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

When Zoel heard it, he finally couldn't help but laugh. "You'd better let the children keep this a secret.

Otherwise, their mothers won't let them play with you next time."

"Why?"

"Because it can't be washed off. Look at the paint on your face! It will still be on your face until the next

class," she replied helplessly.

"Really?"

Aurora tilted her small head and used her fingers to rub the paint on her face. As expected, she could

not rub it off at all...

She rubbed it hard again, but the paint was still there. Her round eyes got teary immediately, and she

looked at Lucille helplessly. "Mom, will I look like this forever?"

"That's right. You will be like this for the rest of your life!"

If Zoel was not driving, he would have been laughing hysterically.

"No, no." Lucille looked at Aurora, who was crying with tears streaming down her face. She quickly

hugged her and wiped her tears, "I will help you wash it off when we get home, okay?"

"Okay..." Aurora pouted, and she sniffed.

Zoel sent them to the entrance and said, "I'm not going in. I still have something else to do in the art

gallery."

"Alright, thank you for sending us back."

After Lucille thanked him, she took Aurora into the alley and walked towards the Three K Art Academy.

At this time, the sky had gradually gotten dark. She did not notice a black Porsche parked in the

parking space by the roadside at the entrance of the alley.

That Porsche had a number plate which she was most familiar with.
