Awkwardly fidgeting, Lucas paced back and forth, guessing what caused her cramp. A voice suddenly rang beside him, "That must be your girlfriend." Lucas turned to see a man in his fifties, and he was unable to answer the latter."There's no need to ask. She's either his girlfriend or wife." The wife stood next to the stranger and chuckled. "Look at the worry on his face, the same way you used to worry about me.""You're my wife. Of course, I'll be worried about you," the man answered, and a sweet smile appeared on the wife's wrinkled face.Just then, the door opened, and Coco came out with a red face and a hand on her stomach."What did the doctor say?" Lucas asked worriedly.Coco looked very embarrassed. After hesitating slightly, she said, "I'll go buy something, you… Sit here and wait for a while.""What do you need? I'll go get it," Lucas said urgently."I'll get it myself," she said, her face turning red. "You're feeling unwell! What do you need and where can I get it

"He's really good-looking. You have a good eye." The neighbor smiled and stepped into the elevator.Coco was embarrassed.Lucas reminded, "You'd better open the door or your other neighbors may come and ask again."Coco hesitated for a heartbeat. Then, she opened the door and let him inside."What else do you need, Mr. Gomez? I'm home now," Coco turned around, asking him.Lucas pursed his lips, his gaze on her abdomen. "Does it still hurt?""A little. But it's tolerable, just like my usual period cramps." As she spoke about her period cramps, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.Lucas frowned. He had no idea how much pain came with period cramps."I’ve heard a cup of hot ginger tea would make you feel better during period cramps," Lucas said abruptly, having heard that from his friends' past conversation with Caleb."And?" Coco asked in reply.Turning around, Lucas headed straight to the kitchen. Coco quickly followed, only to see him grabbing the tea and pot from her pantr

Coco and Minnie walked into the store, and immediately, a salesgirl came over to greet them, asking what they wanted to buy.Coco politely explained that she was just looking around, and the salesgirl did not say anything else. Instead, the salesgirl kept following Coco and Minnie around with an impatient look."Ms. Stone, welcome! We've got a lot of new stocks. Would you like to take a look?" The salesgirl heard her colleague enthusiastically greeting another customer, and it quickly darkened her mood.The salesgirl's income relied heavily on commission. Coco and Minnie were obviously the kind of customers who could not afford to buy anything here. Her colleague was lucky to be serving a big customer like Ms. Stone. If she bought something, it would contribute so much more to their commission for the month!The salesgirl stared at Coco and Minnie with total contempt. Furious, she wished the penniless customers would hurry up and leave. "Yeah, let's have a look." A familiar voice

"I'm fine, Minnie. Don't worry about me," Coco sighed."Besides, Lucas and I broke up for other reasons. I just didn't think I could make him fall in love with me.""You always like to say that, blaming yourself for everything." Minnie was heartbroken for her friend. "If I were you, I would've given Lucas a good beating!""Well, my relationship with Lucas is over. It doesn't matter anymore." Coco was glad she was not pregnant. Maybe they were simply not fated to be together."Yes. We're done with him!" Minnie encouraged, "Come, I'll make sure you look the best tomorrow. You'll find someone better soon!"Coco smiled, knowing her friend was trying to cheer her up. "Let's go! I'm counting on you to make me look pretty tomorrow."-The next day, Coco wore the new dress she had bought the day before to the party. She was planning to put on a little makeup herself, but Minnie got her friend to help instead. Minnie's friend was a professional make-up artist. She gave Coco a complet

The night was beautiful, but she could feel something weighing on her chest, making her feel down. What was wrong with her?! Her chest felt tight, almost as though she was suffocating. Coco was determined to make a clean break with Lucas. Lucas had done the right thing by not greeting her at the party. People would think nothing was going on between them thanks to his actions. Still, the way he had ignored her stung like crazy.Coco, you're such an emotional little prick! She thought to herself self-mockingly.Just then, a voice rang in her ear. "Coco."Coco turned around, only to see Loke standing behind her. She had no idea how long he had been here.Coco furrowed her brow slightly. She was about to turn to leave, but Loke grabbed her wrist. "Wait.""What are you doing, Loke?" Coco struggled, wanting to break free from his grip.Loke tightened his grip on Coco's arm, not letting her go. "Coco, I know I don't deserve you at all. Even so, I hope for the best for you. Are you
