It was so hard to persuade someone to change his mind.
Lucas wasn't good at this, yet he didn't want to hurt her either. He gently patted her shoulder and
whispered, "Don't come here lately, I have all kinds of suspicions now, it's not good for you if you
come."
"I don't care! Lucas, do you think I look for you because of this?"
She was heartbroken.
She was unwilling!
Extremely unwilling!
However, he was so indifferent. What should she do?
"Lucas, give me a chance, okay? You can compare me and Yasmeen ..."
"No need to compare. Michele, you’re who you are, and the same thing goes for her. Everyone has his
own good. I’ve no idea what I like about her, I just know that I'm used to having her around. She's been
around me since I was four or five years old. To put it mildly, she pulled my trousers down that time in
the gents. Michele, I'm a traditional man as you know."
His words stopped her tears from falling.
"Four or five years old? You’re just a child! Lucas, your reasoning is a bit far-fetched!"
"But I remember it. Whenever I think of my whole body being seen clearly by her, I can't look at other
girls. Michele, you're a very nice girl, but we can only be brother and sister."
She looked at his serious look. As she was about to say that children's playfulness could not be taken
seriously, she realized that he was serious at this moment.
So, had he begun to like Yasmeen at the age of four or five?
Just because she had pulled down his trousers and seen his naked body before?
Michele felt that her world fell apart.
What kind of poor reason was this?
But then she felt that this reason was so real and serious in his eyes.
Was it her fault that she wasn’t rude and didn't barge in to take a look at him while he was in the
shower?
She gradually felt that she had lost in such a ridiculous way.
Her tears fell uncontrollably in a silent yet heartbreaking way.
"Michele, don't be like this."
"Lucas, what are you going to do? You know you'll be summoned for this matter. Are you really willing
to do this for her?"
Her hands were tightly clasped together.
She knew about the punishment clearly. They would really have no chance to see each other again
once the result was released.
They had been together for these ten years. What would happen to her if he left?
"Lucas, I don't want to let you go. You said you would stay in the army for the rest of your life, stay with
me and help my father to stand guard in the military. How can you just leave like this?"
Lucas suddenly felt a bit sad.
He drew a few pieces of tissue paper, handed them to her, and whispered, "Michele, can you leave this
matter alone?"
"No!"
How could she leave the matter alone?
If she didn't do so, he would really leave!
As Lucas couldn't convince her, he felt a headache.
He couldn't help but think of Yasmeen.
As both were confessing to him, Yasmeen was so domineering while Michele made him feel
heartbroken and guilty.
Surely he was used to being bullied by Yasmeen and he liked her dominance.
As she noticed that he got distracted, she felt even more upset.
"My dad asked me to tell you to stay here for the next few days. Don't worry about anything else, I will
stay here and take care of you."
Her words made him flinch for a moment.
"So does Uncle Mark become my direct superior at the behest of Uncle Morty?"
"Yes."
"This place was also known by Uncle Morty?"
"Yes."
She had expected him to ask many questions, but he suddenly fell silent.
He waited for a while before saying, "There is no internet and phone line here, so it may be hard upon
you for the next few days."
After saying that, he got up and went upstairs.
She directly froze.
What did he mean?
He didn’t have any problem with it after she failed to confess her love to him and told him she would
stay here with him a while?
Wasn't he afraid that Yasmeen would be jealous when she found out?
Or did he simply not care about Yasmeen?
Perhaps he accepted her because he was accustomed to her existence?
While her mind was in turmoil, Lucas had already returned to his bedroom.
There was no phone, no computer, and no internet. It was as if he had gone back to primitive times and
this kind of boring time was quite unbearable.
He found some A4 paper and a pencil, then drew on it casually. He drew Yasmeen’s face without
realizing it.
When he knew he was actually so talented in drawing, he was stunned.
Looking at the lifelike portrait on the paper, Lucas smiled and recalled the scene when Yasmeen pulled
his trousers down.
He wondered if she would still be so fierce now.
As he thought this, there was a sudden change in a part of his body.
His face suddenly turned a little red, and he quickly threw all his drawing paper and pencils into the
drawer. He lay down on the bed, stared at the ceiling and he was lost in thought for the first time when
thinking about a woman.
It was strange as he hadn't thought that much about her before. How come he had so many more
thoughts after staying together and kissing her twice?
Was it because she now belonged to him, so he thought about her all the time?
The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was reasonable.
Her figure was quite good actually.
His body became hotter as he kept thinking about it. Suddenly something came out of his nose, and he
hurriedly went to the bathroom to wash up.
In the evening, there was a delicious aroma from downstairs. He hurriedly got up and walked down. As
he saw Michele cooking with her apron, he smiled and said, "I'm blessed these days."
"Lucas, go and wash your hands, food will be ready in a moment. There's just one bowl of soup left, it'll
be ready soon."
"Okay."
He went to the bathroom to rinse his hands. When he came back again, the meal was ready.
Looking at the four tasty dishes and soup on the table, he suddenly thought whether if Yasmeen had
returned yet, and where she was eating now.
She had never cooked, and she only ordered takeaway all her life. She cooked for him once and it was
awful.
"Lucas, what are you thinking about? It's time to eat."
"Oh, okay."
He smiled, took the bowl, and ate it.
Meanwhile, Yasmeen was trapped at the ferry.
People were chasing her everywhere, including killers and people from the military. Her men had also
found out that a time bomb had been installed under the car she had parked at the hospital, which
meant that if she had left in the car at that moment, she would have inevitably died and would have
implicated innocent people.
Who was the one targeting her in such a terrible way?
