Chapter 597
In that apartment filled with dresses, he would fantasize about how beautiful she would look when she
wore the dresses.
However, he had never felt as shocked as he did now. Serenity was only wearing a very ordinary and
very cheap dress, but the sight of her slowly walking to the mirror to take a look at herself instantly
brought tears to his eyes.
Serenity stood in front of the mirror and checked out the dress. The reason she picked the dress was
because it looked like the floral dress her grandmother bought her when she was a child,
Unfortunately, that floral dress was badly tom, so she had to throw it away.
She remembered she cried back then.
The good thing about the new dress was that it was pretty long, so she could safely wear it even when
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe rode the electric scooter. She checked the price and found that it was not expensive. It cost only
$40, and one could usually bargain in a store like this to lower the price even further.
“What do you think of the dress, ma’am? Do you like it?” the shopkeeper walked up and asked.
“It’s not bad, but can you lower the price a little?” Serenity asked.
“But.. the clothes in the store are already very cheap. If I lower the price any further. The shopkeeper’s
voice abruptly halted as if something had grabbed her throat. She stared behind Serenity in shock.
Serenity was puzzled, but before she could figure out what was happening, a pair of arms hugged her
from behind, and she felt a slightly cold sensation on her neck and cheek.
“Is it you?” Lucas‘ hoarse voice resounded in her ears.
Serenity was s
stunned. When she came to her senses, she tried to break free from Lucas‘ sudden embrace.
But he was holding her very tightly. His face pressed hard against her neck as he repeated in a
murmur, “Is it you? Is it you? You’re her, aren’t you? You’re her..
“Lucas, let go! I have no idea what you’re talking about!” said Serenity. She could not understand why
Lucas was suddenly behaving like he did that night when he got drunk.
The problem was, he was completely sober right now!
–
“You’re… her, aren’t you? If not, why would you look so much like her?.. Why… Why are you the only
one who makes me feel this way
he murmured, as if the person he had been looking for had appeared in front of him.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but you better let go of me right now, or else…”
“Or else what?” He suddenly laughed mockingly, “I’ve let go so many times. I should never have let go!”
The shopkeeper was flabbergasted. She could not understand what was going on between the man
and the woman in front of her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSerenity felt Lucas‘ arms hugging her tighter and tighter. He was even starting to sob.
“Lucas, you got the wrong person. I’m not the person you’re looking for!” said Serenity when she
recalled that Lucas had been looking for a girl.
“If you’re not, why did you pick this dress?” he asked in a soft voice.
When he saw her in the dress, he felt like he was seeing the little girl from back then again. She had
now grown up and was standing before him in a floral dress, smiling at him.
He had a vague feeling that he had seen this scenario before in als dreams.
“I picked it because I liked it, that’s all. There’s no special reason!” said Serenity.
But no matter how hard she tried, she could not break free of Lucas” embrace.

Lucas seemed to have no doubt that she was the one he was looking for. He hugged her tightly and
kept saying, “Tell me that you’re her! Tell me that you’re the person I’ve been looking for! Do you know
how long I’ve been looking for you? Do you
know how much I regretted letting go of your hand that day?”
