"You're my boyfriend now. Consider this bracelet a gift from me to you. I'd feel weird if you had to pay for your own gift," Coco insisted.Lucas glanced at the bracelet on his wrist. A gift? Strange feelings were bubbling in his chest, and he said nothing. Finally, Coco paid the bill, looking at the bracelet on her wrist with joy. "Do you like them that much?" Lucas asked.Coco chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed. "It's my first time wearing a matching couple bracelet. It's a new feeling.""How does it feel?" he asked."Like I'm not alone anymore," Coco murmured. "It feels like I finally have someone with me."Lucas's eyes flickered with something. No longer alone? Coco seemed bright and cheerful, but Lucas could sense her real emotions behind the facade. When she was young, she lived with her foster family after her parents passed away. Then, she began living alone after enrolling in university."Lucas, can you wear this bracelet whenever we go on a date? I know it's no
Lucas felt at ease with Coco around him. Maybe it was a good idea for him to stay that way. If he could fall in love with Coco, it would be the best for everyone.Lucas fluttered his eyes open slowly and stared at the brand-new silver bracelet on his wrist. "Serenity, I'll do anything to grant your wish." Even if it meant letting himself fall in love with another person. He would do his best to grant her wish!The next day, the executives of Gomez Group were surprised to find Lucas wearing a silver bracelet on his wrist. It was hard to imagine a man like him wearing silver accessories. Some even tried to identify the bracelet and luxury brand but could not find anything.The silver bracelet with unknown origins immediately became the talk of the company.Caleb saw this silver bracelet when he came to meet Lucas. Unlike Lucas' employees, he naturally realized that the bracelet was not from a big brand. "Why are you wearing a bracelet like this? Where did you get it from? The marke
"If they knew, they'd be overjoyed," Caleb exclaimed. Lucas' parents had been worried about their son's marriage. Nothing else mattered as long as he was willing to marry a woman."You came to see me. Something you need?" Lucas asked. Caleb then remembered the reason he came, but it felt a little awkward to bring it up. "Well, it's about Jane… I didn't want to be involved, but her family came to harass me at work every day. It caused quite the disturbance, and I was thinking of…""You want me to spare her?" Lucas said, raising an eyebrow."I initially thought of that, but I changed my mind," Caleb said. Lucas was serious about Coco and would not let Jane escape her punishment for attacking Coco on the set. This meant the Harris family's plan had failed."Great. Don't feel at all sorry for someone like her. She harmed Coco, and she's now getting a taste of her own medicine," Lucas said, a cold glint appearing in his eyes.-Those people who put Serenity in danger were all subdue
Clara responded to Serenity before finally ending the call.Serenity was right. She should deal with this matter as soon as possible. The rumors might reach Solaria soon, and Yanny would be alienated and criticized in class again.Clara felt a pang of heartache thinking of the various discriminations her son had endured because of her past in prison and for raising him as a single mother. She did not want the past to repeat itself.Taking a deep breath, Clara dialed Wilson's number, praying he would answer her call. A few beats later, the call connected. "Yes?" Wilson's voice answered."I'm calling to ask about the rumor from Latveria. We're divorced, but why are there rumors of you cheating in marriage?""I know you brought Mandy to the party, but a rumor like this shouldn't have happened. Why didn't you announce the divorce?"Clara asked a series of questions, only to receive a short answer from Wilson. "We're not yet divorced.""What?!" Clara was stunned. She thought she he
Wilson asked anyway, despite already knowing Clara's answer. All it did was give him another heartache.Heartache?! Wilson was so startled by his realization that his phone slipped from his loosened grip and dropped to the ground. He put a hand over his chest, and his heartbeat seemed to echo in his own ears with pain.Wilson thought he had no feelings for Clara, especially after the hypnosis. Why was his heart still hurting because of her?Stop it! Stop the pain!His inner voice kept shouting, but the pain would not stop and dragged on. It seemed the pain would go on as long as his heart was still beating.-A week later, Coco and Lucas went to the night market again and collected their custom-made dolls. Coco had done a great job at drawing the designs, and the dolls were almost the same as how she drew them. A sweet smile curved her lips upward as she stared at the two dolls in her hands.The contentment filling her eyes made him amazed. It was easy to make Coco happy. The tw
Putting an animated film on the big screen would require far more time and money than ordinary movies, which was why there were so few animated movies."If you are serious about directing an animated film, I can help," Lucas offered. Coco jumped in shock. She would have normally treated something like this as a joke, but when hearing it coming from Lucas' mouth was different. It might actually come true. Lucas had the power, after all."No, no!" Coco profusely waved her hand at Lucas and refused him. "I don't have the ability to direct an animated movie yet. Besides, making an animated film requires a lot of money. It's a big investment, and it's very risky. I don't want you to lose money. I'm better off doing something within my capability.""It doesn't matter if we make a loss from the movie. But if you don't want to, I'll invest in your work in the future. Whenever you think you're ready. What do you think?" Lucas said. Coco smiled brightly. This time, she did not refuse his
In the end, Lucien used all his spiritual power to cure the girl's illness. After losing all his power, he vanished into the clear sky.The director used clever and humorous means to express the somewhat sad ending. The children saw the joy in it, but adults could see the sadness hidden under the joy.Coco felt her eyes stinging with tears as she watched the ending. She quietly sighed at Lucien's ending while listening to the joyful laughter of the children surrounding her. For the children, it was funny to see how Lucien was tricked into doing all sorts of funny things by his savior's impersonator.Coco snuck a glance at Lucas sitting her, only to realize Lucas was watching the movie with great concentration. He was so focused on the movie and could not hear the sound around him.Why was he so focused on the movie? Coco thought to herself.Immediately afterward, Coco's eyes zeroed in on his face. She saw light reflected on the tears that gathered in his eyes.Lucas? Is he cryi
It seemed Lucas was still immersed in the movie and could not get his head out of it.Coco pondered before saying, "It's just a movie. Don't feel too bad about it. Besides, Lucien finally had the chance to repay his gratitude. I'm sure he's content, although with a regrettable ending.""It's just a movie?" Lucas repeated in a murmur.Coco blinked. "Isn't it just a movie?"Lucas forced a smile onto his face. "Yeah, it's just a movie. But Lucien is so stupid. He just can't stop making mistakes, one after another. What a fool."The forced smile on his face made her heart ache a little. He looked like he was about to cry again although he was smiling."No one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes," Coco said softly. "And I don't think Lucien is stupid. He's just too obsessed with his wish. He wanted to repay his gratitude to the girl who saved him, but the bad guys took advantage of him."Lucas fluttered his long lashes. Yes. Many people had said that he was too obsessive. His persist
