"Thank you! I love it!" Serenity said. "I didn’t expect you to draw my daughter so accurately.""I saw her when I came to the hospital that day, so I remember how she looked," Coco replied."Jackson told me that you and Lucas were at the hospital that day. Did I scare you guys?” Serenity asked.Coco smiled softly. "I’m glad that you’re safe. That’s all that matters."Jackson and Lucas exchanged glances when the women started chatting. Then, Jackson spoke up, "Lucas, come out for some fresh air with me."Coco watched them, feeling a little uneasy. Serenity reassured her, "Don’t worry, they'll be back soon. Jackson won’t kidnap Lucas.” Coco smiled, knowing Jackson hadn't told Serenity about what had happened that day."By the way, how are things going between you and Lucas?" Serenity asked."All good." Coco wasn’t lying. Lucas had been doting on her the past few days except for not letting her leave the villa. Still, his actions were like a form of compensation to Coco."Great," Seren
And Coco's stubbornness stemmed from her fear that she would fall deeper and deeper in love with Lucas!When Jackson and Lucas returned to the hospital room, Serenity was chatting with Coco. They were talking about the newborn baby and also the triplets.Noticing the slight fatigue on Serenity's face, Coco stood up and said, "Well, I think we should head back now. Serenity, take care of yourself and get lots of rest, okay? I'll visit you and the baby again soon.""Okay, I will," Serenity replied. "Next time, I'll introduce you to my triplets as well.""Okay," Coco nodded.After Coco and Lucas left, Jackson lowered the top half of Serenity's hospital bed and advised, "If you're feeling tired, take a nap. The doctor said you need plenty of rest.""I am a little tired," Serenity admitted. "I really enjoyed talking with Coco. Jackson, I'm so glad Lucas fell in love with Coco. She's a remarkable woman, and Lucas has finally found his happiness."As Serenity spoke, her eyes gradually
Hearing that made him unhappy for some reason. Yeah, they've broken up, so she had every right to move on and find someone new, but... the mere thought of her smiling at, kissing and embracing another man upset him. An irritable feeling surged through his body, beyond his control."You won't be able to find a new boyfriend! You love me so much. Do you really think you can find another man like me? Do you really think you can love someone else just as deeply?" he said."You... you're too conceited! How can you be so sure I won't find someone new?!" Coco's face reddened as she retorted. "I may love you now, but I can slowly move on. Besides, I don't need to find someone like you. I simply need an ordinary man with a good personality who treats me well! I will wholeheartedly devote myself to him, and he will do the same for me!"Her words sounded more like self-assurance.Indeed, she could definitely move on from this relationship. She's sure of it!Her words seemed to have triggered
"How can you be so sure that person is not you?" he asked."All you can do is like me, but that kind of feeling is worthless in front of Serenity. In the future, someone might come along who you can genuinely love. That person won't have to work as hard as I do, and will effortlessly make you fall in love," she said.Their feelings for each other were all artificially constructed, meticulously fabricated!Be it pretending to be a couple at first or dating for real afterwards, everything about their relationship was orchestrated with a purpose. Perhaps that fakeness was destined to end the way it did."What if I tell you that kind of person will never come along? The one I want to love is you, only you!" he exclaimed. Besides her, he didn’t know who else could do it. "Coco, you worked so hard to finally make me develop feelings for you. Are you really going to give up just like this?""Yes, I did work really hard, I really did..." she replied. However, despite her reluctance, she s
Once Lucas openly revealed his intention to move against the Stewart family, it's highly unlikely that anyone in Solaria would dare to intervene and help the Stewart family."Aubrey probably didn't think you would go this far for Coco," Caleb murmured.Lucas lowered his gaze and swirled the drink in his hand. "Neither did I," he said. At first, he chose to walk away. But afterwards, when he saw the video posted online, he finally understood the pain she had to endure.Regret, guilt, and anger overwhelmed him in an instant.He would definitely make Aubrey pay. As for himself... he's already paying the price. Coco already inflicted the most excruciating pain upon him by breaking up with him.Just then, Lucas' phone rang, and he furrowed his brow upon seeing the caller ID."What's wrong? Who is it?" Caleb asked curiously."It's my dad. He asked me to go home because he wants to talk to me. Probably for the same reason you came to see me," Lucas casually replied."Looks like the St
"Alright, alright. I’m sure Lucas knows what he's doing. You've already entrusted the company to him, so let him handle it" Mrs. Gomez said, already considering Coco her future daughter-in-law. "Lucas, when will you bring Coco home so that we can meet her?"They had only heard about Coco but had never met her in person yet. Although their son said they were dating with the intention of getting married, Mr. and Mrs. Gomez were doubtful because he had never brought her home. They thought it might just be a passing fancy. But now, it seemed like their son was very serious about this woman.However, in contrast to his mother's excitement, Lucas' expression dimmed slightly. "Maybe later.""Later? When exactly?" Mrs. Gomez asked impatiently."Mom, I still have work to do, so I have to go. I only came back to inform you guys that I will handle the Stewart family's situation in my own way. I won't let anyone talk me out of it," Lucas stated and left the house without waiting for a respon
"Try it," Lucas suggested.Coco quietly ate her breakfast. Even though her head was lowered, she was aware of his gaze occasionally lingering on her."Do you have any place you'd like to go today?" Lucas suddenly asked. "If you have somewhere in mind, I can take you there...""But I can't go alone, can I?" she raised her head to ask.His expression turned a little gloomy. "You want to leave so badly?""If you were trapped in a cage, would you enjoy it and not want to leave?" she retorted.He stared at her intently, his lips pressed tightly together."Lucas, keeping me confined in this mansion won’t do anything," Coco stated. "We still don't know if I'm actually pregnant, but one thing is for sure: it's already past the time to take contraceptives, and I couldn't have secretly acquired them without you knowing anyway. If you're worried that I'll have a secret abortion if it turns out that I really am pregnant, then rest assured."She took a deep breath and continued, "I will kee
Coco hesitated at first, but ultimately decided to let him hold her hand. They entered the amusement park, and Lucas asked, "Aren't you curious why I took you here?""If you want to tell me, you will, and if you don't want to tell me, then there's no need for me to ask. Everyone has their own secrets," Coco replied."Have you been here before?" he asked."I came here many times when I was a kid," Coco replied. "There were a lot of places that offered hobby classes around here. My parents enrolled me in some of them, and on weekends, after the classes, they would take me here to enjoy a few rides before going home."A tinge of envy flickered in his eyes. "That must have been fun.""It was," she answered. The memories of those happy times spent with her parents were now moments she treasured dearly.They strolled through the amusement park and saw many parents that had come here with their children, mostly kindergarten and elementary-aged kids.The sight of the children followin
