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.

What is it with Chinese authors. The characters are slow, he finally opened his mouth, it took him so long just to say two words...the house keeper would have put the person out before he even spoke....is this really how people are over there..the characters are always lost in thought, they might as well live in their heads.....
