Many people would drool over a body like this, but he's actually afraid that she might not find it attractive?"Don't you think you're being too harsh on yourself?" Coco asked weakly, "Your body is top-notch. How could I possibly think it's not attractive?""You really like it?" he asked.She vigorously nodded, "If your body isn't attractive, then what does that make me? A third-rate cripple? Look at you, lean and strong, with just the right amount of muscles."As she spoke, she poked his chest and abs with her finger."Also, your head-to-shoulder ratio is excellent, with an elegant neckline..." she continued, her fingers exploring the mentioned areas, "Your body is incredibly beautiful. Your proportions are nearly perfect, with a height-to-head ratio of almost 9. Your legs are long and straight, and your hips..."Suddenly, her voice faltered. Oh no! Was she really discussing his body with him?"Anyway, your body... is great," she concluded. Blushing, she hastily lowered her hea
Coco wrinkled her nose at Lucas' words."I promised to stay here with you. Why would I be gone? Even if I wanted to go, I'd leave after talking to you," Coco reassured him."I know, but I'm still afraid to think of it sometimes," Lucas said, a note of fear in his voice.Coco's chest was tight with emotion, and she fought back the urge to cry. This man was displaying his most insecure emotions, confessing his deepest fears to her. Lucas was rich and powerful, an influential man with the power to decide another person's fate. Many would flatter him, trying to use his influence to get what they wanted.Coco knew Lucas was an unattainable man. This man who should have been fearless seemed to be overwhelmed by his deepest fears—all because of her.Their breakup was so painful for both of them. Coco lifted her arm and grabbed Lucas's wrist. Lucas turned to her in surprise, his brow furrowed slightly. "Well… Why don't we just sleep together? You don't have to keep standing to look at
How could a man be so good-looking? Coco wondered to herself, staring at the beauty before her. She had no business noticing how smooth his skin was, how pretty his lashes were, and how it might feel touching him.Unable to resist the urge to touch him, Coco carefully put her finger against his eyelashes, the feeling of his eyelashes bringing a strange feeling.Lucas suddenly fluttered his eyelids open, those bright eyes staring at her.Coco froze. Oh, no. Was she caught in action?"I…""I just wanted to touch your eyelashes…""I think your eyelashes are… Uh, they're pretty," Coco stammered, withdrawing her hand in embarrassment.Lucas batted his eyelashes at her. "You like my eyelashes?""Yeah," she squeaked out, her cheeks red with embarrassment.Lucas' eyelashes were so beautiful. She could totally save on mascara with eyelashes like his."For humans, long eyelashes are dominant genes. If we have a child in the future, the child would most likely inherit my genes," Lucas m
Lucas wondered how much he truly liked Coco. Earlier, he had felt the urge to hide her in a place where only he could be with her. Or maybe, like Caleb said, could he be in love with her already?-Coco was busy at work all morning. Work was delayed as she had taken care of Lucas in the hospital while he was injured.Coco got a call from the police station in the afternoon. The police summoned her to the police station, requesting her to verify her previous statement. Apparently, the woman who had drugged Minnie and taken her away from the bar had been caught.After the call from the police, Coco got another call from Minnie, informing her that the police had summoned her to the police station in the afternoon.Coco and Minnie agreed on a time and went to the police station together in the afternoon.At the police station, the police asked Minnie to identify the woman. After confirming she was indeed the woman who had drugged her, the police had Coco and Minnie make a new stateme
Realization finally dawned on Minnie. Her eyes went wide, and her mouth dropped open."What did you just say?! You're back with Lucas?""Yeah," Coco replied."What made you get back with him? Because of the heroic rescue?" Minnie was curious.Coco pondered in a long silence. "Probably. Because of this incident, I've come to realize something.""Who knows what the future holds? At least I've met the love of my life, and he happens to be interested in me too.""I don't know if we can be together for long, but I want to give it a try instead of giving up without doing anything.""Lucas was willing to take a knife for you. It shows that he really cares about you. I have hope for you two."Minnie widened her smile."Now that I think about it, this incident isn't all that bad. At least Lucas and you are back together. When you two get married, I expect a big gift from you two."Coco looked down with a shy smile. "We just got back together. It's too soon to talk about marriage. Ar
"It's fine! It's fine!" Minnie waved at Coco. "Think about it. You both saved me when I was in trouble. A meal is nothing!"After ordering dinner, Minnie went to the restroom. Coco remained in her seat and informed Lucas of the restaurant and location. Coco continued to browse through the menu in her hand. While looking at the menu, she suddenly heard a voice in the room. "Wait… Coco?"Coco glanced up and saw a woman with pretty makeup looking at her, accompanied by a man in his forties standing beside her."You are..." Coco thought she looked a little familiar."Xena Hayes. We were in the same class in high school," the woman said. Coco vaguely remembered going to high school with this woman."Oh, Xena. Hello," Coco greeted politely. They were only classmates, and Coco was not close to Xena in high school. If Coco remembered correctly, Xena's family was not very well off. Xena was thin, and her closet was full of hand-me-downs. Coco heard from her classmates that Xena's
Spencer looked at Coco with incredulous contempt, especially after hearing what Xena said."If you're into branded goods, maybe you can consider having some of my old clothes. Even though I've worn them before, you can have it." Xena offered Coco her old clothes as if she were doing charity. "Oh, Spencer buys me anything I want, regardless of the price. My clothes are worth thousands of dollars each, and Spencer bought them all for me," Xena added cheekily. She was deliberately showing off, implying the huge gap between Coco and her.Coco initially thought it was nice to meet her old classmate, but Xena had ruined her mood."No, thanks. You can donate them to those who need it. I have my own," Coco rejected.Xena's gaze darkened a little with evident displeasure. She was about to say something, but a voice interrupted them."Coco."Xena looked up and saw a man in a white shirt and black pants. The man walked over to Coco, obviously a friend of hers.An unexpected flair of jeal
Xena pretended to speak in Coco's favor, but she was putting her down with her comment."Fake?" Lucas narrowed his eyes dangerously."Yes. The shirt Coco is wearing. It's a limited edition piece from Celestial's spring collection. It cost 400 thousand dollars each. What Coco is wearing is naturally a counterfeit," Xena quickly added, hoping to embarrass Coco.Lucas sneered."I had someone buy the shirt for her. If it's really fake, I'll have to sue Celestial for selling fake designer goods."Xena was stunned. What?! This guy had bought the shirt Coco was wearing? And judging by the way he said it…Was the shirt genuine? How could it be?! This meant Coco was wearing the real thing! A limited edition shirt from Celestial, worth 400 thousand dollars?! Lucas ignored Xena and called the waiter instead. "Get the manager over here.""Yes, yes." The waiter responded and scurried away to get the manager. Just by Lucas' demeanor alone, he knew Lucas was unlike any other ordinary man, co
