“That’s… Lucas!”
He seemed slightly different than usual with his messy hair and wearing a casual white shirt and belge
pants. His face was mostly in the shadows, though.
His dark eyes bore into hers under the cold moonlight but with a touch of confusion instead of the usual
coldness. That gaze made Serenity feel uncomfortable. It was as if he was looking at someone else
through her.
Lucas moved and came closer to her.
“Have you been drinking?” Serenity asked reflexively. She could smell the alcohol oozing from his
breath.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yeah. A little.” Lucas chuckled softly, his eyes watching, her more intently.
Serenity pursed her lips slightly. “It’s late. I’m heading home. Goodbye,” she said and stepped away,
intending to leave.
Before she could walk away, his hand grabbed hers, pulling her into his arms. She trembled in his
embrace. Lucas reeked of alcohol. It was far stronger than what she had thought.
He had definitely drunk more than a little wine! How much had he consumed?!
“Let go!” Serenity yelled, but his grip on her remained strong
“Tell me. How can I find you? I’ve been looking for you. It’s been a long time, but I can’t find you! I
can’t.”
Serenity stiffened. Did Lucas just… Did he mistake her for someone else? His words did not seem to
be directed at her.
“Mr. Gomez, please let go of me. You’re drunk,” Serenity said. His arms were so strong that her
struggles seemed useless. The difference in strength between men and women in such times became
apparent.
“Drunk? It would be nice to be really drunk. Do you know how much I want to be drunk?” Lucas rasped
in a low murmur.
“I don’t care who you think I am. You’d better let go, or else…”
“Or else what?” Lucas lowered his head, putting his face closer to hers, almost touching the tips of their
noses.
As his scent surrounded her, the strong smell of alcohol made her jolt in alarm
She could have communicated with the normal Lucas, but how could she reason with someone drunk?!
Serenity frowned. “Mr. Gomez, please have some self-control.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe expression on his face changed slightly at her words. “Self-control? I-I’ve always been.. I’ve always
shown too much self -control…” He thought, “That’s why I didn’t even fight for it.’
“Why? You’re not her. Why?!”
If Serenity was the one he was looking for, he would have fought for her. He would go against Jackson
at all costs and do even more for her..
“Not her?” Serenity did not know who he was referring to, but she had goosebumps the moment Lucas
put his hand on her face. Then, a chill ran down her spåne. The dangerous vibe was alarming.
“If only.. How wonderful it would have been if I hadn’t let po of your hand. You carried me down the hill
that year today. You said you would protect me and told me not to be afraid.”
A cold and choked voice resounded in the night wil. Lucas’ eyes were moist. Then, tears flowed down
his cheeks.
Serenity was dumbfounded. She never thought Lucas would cry in front of her. He had always been
aloof, cold, and mighty, However, his vulnerability gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
