As if sensing Yasmeen's resentment, Lucas whispered, "If Zoe is being bullied, my heart hurts too."
In other words, he only thought of Michele as his sister, but wasn’t Lucas the one who caused Michele
to be like this?
Thinking about it, Yasmeen suddenly felt quite bad about herself again.
At least she has Lucas to love and spoil her now. But what about Michele?
She didn't get a boyfriend, and her relationship with Lucas might not be so pure in the future.
It was really saddening to see a love-stained relationship between a brother and sister.
The look in Yasmeen's eyes made Lucas uncomfortable.
What did she mean?
So now she was defending Michele?
She was really an individual full of contradictions!
Despite this thought, Lucas didn't say anything else.
Outside, Michele was probably really sad. At first, she cried a little repressively, then louder and louder,
and finally just gave up her dignity and cried so loudly that even Yasmeen felt her nose twitched.
If it weren't for the fact that it took her twenty years to woo Lucas, she'd want to let go of him.
Just as Yasmeen could barely hold back, there was another sound of a car outside, and then a
somewhat familiar male voice came.
"He can't see you crying here, and besides, even if he did, he wouldn't be heartbroken. What's the
point?"
It was Edison!
Michele was already aggravated as hell. Hearing Edison talk like that made her even more aggravated.
"You shut up! Go away! Leave me alone for a while, okay?"
"Leave you alone? Michele, can't you be a little tougher? Do you have to torment yourself so much
because he doesn't like you? He doesn't like you not because you're not good enough, but because
you're not meant to be together. If you're not meant to be together, why are you trying to force it? Why
don't you take a step back and just be his sister again? Can't you be comrades for life?"
"No!"
Michele suddenly hissed.
"What do you know? You don't know anything!"
"I don't understand, but I do understand what it's like to have a crush on another person."
Edison laughed bitterly.
At this time he was not as playful as usual, nor was he careless and casual, but instead he was gloomy
and heartbreaking.
Michele froze slightly, as if she realized something, but subconsciously repelled it.
"How did you know I was here?"
"Lucas told me."
Edison told him truthfully.
Tears welled up in Michele's eyes again.
"He just couldn't wait to send me out so he could feel at ease being with Yasmeen, could he? No! I'm
just going to have a bad time! I'm just going to torture myself! I'm not going to let him and Yasmeen
have a good time! Why should I be sad and they be fine? Why should he be happy and then push me
to you? Am I an object or a thing? He doesn't want me so he pushes me to his best friend, does he?"
As soon as Michele finished her sentence, Edison slapped her straight across the face.
The slap knocked Michele straight into a daze.
She looked tearfully at Edison, the most unconcerned man in the group who was now looking at her
angrily and seriously, and couldn't help but ask, "You hit me?"
"Yes, I hit you! So have you woken up by the slap?"
Edison's hands clenched together.
It hurt him more to have hit Michele than to have hit himself, but he had to.
Michele was practically possessed now, even a little paranoid. He was really afraid that Michele would
take the wrong path because of her emotional paranoia.
She was Morty's daughter!
Edison’s face went cold as he said, word for word, "Who are you insulting? Are you insulting yourself to
tell me it's wrong to fall in love with you? Or are you insulting me for only picking up women that Lucas
doesn't want? Or is that what Lucas is to you? The man you've loved all these years is a scumbag, isn't
he?"
These three consecutive questions instantly knocked Michele on the spot.
"No, that's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean? What do you mean Lucas didn't like you and pushed you to me? You're a
living human being. Who can push you to anyone? Just because you couldn't get him, you doubt
yourself and even denigrate the man you once loved. Is this your idea of love? If so, I have nothing
more to say."
After saying that, Edison turned around and left.
Michele suddenly choked up. The unexplainable sadness in her heart made her want to cry.
As she watched Edison turn and walk away, Michele suddenly cried and said, "Edison, stop!"
Edison did stop but didn't look back or turn around.
He was afraid that if he turned around, he would relent.
It was useless for him to comfort Michele now, and he had to act as such.
Seeing that Edison did not turn around, Michele was even more aggrieved.
All these years, under Lucas' leadership, the other members of the group had treated her, the only girl,
with care and attention.
She was actually aware of Edison's feelings for her, but she had never had anyone else in her eyes
before. But at this moment, she was too vulnerable.
"Edison, can you lend me your shoulder? I'm really sad! I feel like my heart has broken a big hole and
the cold wind is blowing. I'm so cold!"
Michele suddenly choked up, while Edison was instantly heartbroken.
He turned around violently and took Michele straight into his arms, while his eyes were a little red and
wet.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit you! Why don't you hit me too!"
"You think I'm going to spoil you? Or do you think you're Lucas?"
After saying that, Michele suddenly bit Edison on the shoulder. She bit him so hard that Edison instantly
frowned but made no move.
Yasmeen peeped at this scene and suddenly felt that Michele was actually quite happy. Even without
Lucas, she still had Edison, didn't she?
Unlike her!
She was living like a monk in order to pursue Lucas with all her might.
At this moment, Yasmeen suddenly felt that she was at a disadvantage.
Seeing that Edison had pacified Michele, Lucas immediately lost his desire to peek and eavesdrop and
pulled Yasmeen's hand to the car.
This time, it was Lucas who drove. He pressed Yasmeen into the car seat and fastened the seat belt
for her, then drove off.
Yasmeen said glumly, "I suddenly feel like I'm at a disadvantage not having a boy or two around all
these years. Wouldn't I be too miserable in case you don't want me one day and I'm too old?"
"Well, so you can start looking for some boys from now on."
Lucas spoke calmly and nonchalantly, but it sent a chill up Yasmeen’s spine.
Why did that sound so creepy?
"Lucas, can you talk nicely?"
"Aren't I just being nice? Besides, you're my woman and I dote on you the most. You can do whatever
you want to do. It's okay. I can take it."
Yasmeen felt more and more that this didn't sound right.
She was about to say something else when she suddenly realized that Lucas was driving the wrong
route.
This didn't seem to be a shopping mall or a clothing shop!
"Lucas, you're driving the wrong way. Where are you going?"
"To sell you."
After saying that, Lucas stepped on the accelerator again and the car flew off, which scared Yasmeen
so much that he held onto the handrail while some bad feeling surfaced in her
heart.
