"Purple, for me, used to be Serenity's color," Lucas explained."She saved me, and I promised I'd gift her a purple dress.""I lost touch with her after that. While searching for her, I bought a dress every year and kept it in this closet.""Over the years, maybe it did become some kind of obsession without me realizing it. After I found her, or should I say…. I stopped buying purple dresses after I realized she was truly in love with Jackson."Lucas had never told anyone about this before, but he told her, "Coco, I know better than anyone else. Serenity is just a guest in my life. These dresses, I'll have them discarded later.""But what are you going to do with them?" Coco asked. "You can't give them to Serenity, right? It'd be a shame to dispose of them to trash or put them in storage."Lucas did not answer. He honestly had no idea what to do with the dresses either. He simply wanted to keep the dresses out of her sight, fearing they would cause more misunderstanding."For

"I prefer this one in beige. I'm not trying to throw a tantrum. If I find something I like in purple, I'll go for that too," Coco explained."Lucas, I think it's not right to prove anything with a dress. The color isn't what I want. What matters is the way you feel about me, so…" Coco paused, gazing into his eyes."When you realize you're in love with me one day, please let me know, okay?"Lucas stared at her in a daze, realizing she was far more open and understanding than he had ever imagined."Yes! I promise you. When I fall in love with you, you'll be the first to know," he rasped."It's a pinky promise. Promise me you won't go back on your word," Coco said, stretching one hand out and holding up her pinkie."I won't, I promise." Lucas held out his hand and connected his little finger with hers. It was a promise he made to her. A promise he must fulfill. -The Valor family organized a grand party and invited many celebrities and big names from all walks of life.Coco got

Meanwhile, Frederick was currently with Jacqueline. He was following her everywhere she went like a bodyguard. Weston wasn't surprised by this. After all, she had warmed Frederick’s heart in the first place. Weston knew that Jacqueline was his son's first love and wondered if their good relationship would last for a lifetime. It would be fine for Frederick to have a temporary attachment to Jacqueline instead of falling head over heels for her in the future. It would be quite troublesome if that happened. Weston could only offer Frederick financial support, but he would have to strive independently in other aspects.Today, he had purposely brought Frederick all the way from Lanford to attend the banquet. This marked Frederick’s first appearance as the heir of the Stanton family in Solaria. When they left Solaria, Frederick was merely an orphan kindly taken in by the Valor family. Now, his status was significantly different.The moment Jacqueline saw Frederick, she excitedly talked ab

Socializing would be inevitable. However, Lucas’s words indicated that he intended to shoulder these burdens himself in the future."Lucas, you're the best," Coco couldn't help but say."Am I?" He felt like he hadn't done enough for Coco, otherwise, why would he still often make her sad?"Yes, Lucas. I'm very happy to know you and to have fallen in love with you. It’s so lucky that you happen to like me," Coco murmured. She was slightly tipsy from the alcohol at the banquet. After a pause, she closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder. “Even though I feel sad sometimes in our relationship, the happiness far outweighs the sadness. So, it’s great to be with you.” Lucas’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that. “I will treat you even better in the future. I will do everything I can to protect you and to make you happy. You don’t have to worry about anything when you’re with me,” he told Coco.“I should draw a comic about us and name it ‘Daily Bits of Lucas & Coco’. I'll capt

It was a perfect night for Lucas, but in a way, he had taken advantage of Coco. He knew she was drunk and that many of her actions might have been impulsive, but he let himself indulge in their love. Normally, Lucas was a rational person, yet Coco seemed to quietly crumble his walls and slide into his life. By the time he realized it, he couldn’t live without her."Coco..." Lucas murmured. Her scent still lingered on the pillow, making him crave more of her.When Coco came out of the bathroom, Lucas was getting dressed."Y-you're awake?" She asked, feeling a bit embarrassed."Yeah," Lucas replied. "How are you feeling? Is everything alright?"His question made her blush even more. "Yes, I'm fine," she hurriedly said.Seeing her flushed cheeks, Lucas pondered for a moment before saying, "I shouldn’t have done that with you last night.""No, it wasn’t your fault. It was me... I was the one... I shouldn't have taken advantage of you..." Coco wanted to bite her tongue realizing the nonse
