"Honey, as the number one young master of Q City, can't I even roast a steak? If I can't roast a fine steak for you today, then I have to say sorry to my fame! "
It seemed that he was only making beefsteak today.
Therefore, Sophia gave up the persuasion. She found a chair to sit down and began eating breakfast, watching the man who was tenacious and throwing it.
When she was about to fall asleep, an excited cheer came from the above. Lucas showed his golden steak in front of her with great interest. "Honey, have a taste."
She thought that she should at least show consideration for him. After all, no hard work is always rewarded! Sophia took it and took a small bite.
"How does it taste?" He stared at her unblinkingly. His eyes were glittering, nervous and expectant.
"Yummy! It's so yummy!" She nodded her head repeatedly. To be honest, what she ate was not the steak and taste, but full of gratitude.
He took a long breath, as if relieved, and then smiled, like the sun coming out of the clouds above, charming and brilliant.
After returning to his room, he wiped the oil stains off his body, and then lay on the bed together with her to watch TV.
Sophia's phone on the bedside table rang. She picked it up and found it was a strange number. At the moment she read the message, her hand trembled violently. She screamed and threw the phone on the ground. Her belly began to shrink. Unconsciously, she covered her belly with her hands. Her face turned pale.
"What's wrong, Sophia, does your stomach ache?" Lucas jumped up from the bed.
Sophia shook her head and pointed at the cellphone. It was a picture, an adolescent, blood drenched, horrific.
Blazing anger rushed to his head from his chest. Lucas clenched his fist furiously with the cracking of his finger joints.
"It's her. It must be her." Sophia curled up at the bedside. Seeing this, Lucas jumped to the bed and held her in his arms. "Don't be afraid, honey. It's just a photo. It's okay."
"She is like a shadow haunting me. She doesn't want me to live well." She grabbed his collar with anger.
"Sophia, I will handle this." Lucas said in a low voice.
Sitting up, Sophia took out Joyce's diary from a drawer of the bedside table. She had read it for days. Joyce wrote her diary almost every day. The last date was the day before she jumped off the building. But later, there was a print of tear. She might have wrote it on the day she jumped off the building, but someone didn't want to let her see it.
Sophia turned to the last five pages, on which Joyce wrote that she had discovered the secret of Melody. She felt that she could prevent her from marrying to Lucas with this secret. When Lucas saw this, he was shocked and his expression became extremely complicated.
"You want to keep this secret for Melody, don't you?" Sophia looked at him.
Without answering, Lucas placed his chin on her hair and unconsciously rubbed it. After a long while, he said in a weak voice, "I owe her." After a long moment of silence, he picked up his phone from the bedside table and opened the information Jerry had found. "In fact, there are something I've been trying to tell you."
Looking at this, Sophia couldn't help but feel a spasm in her heart. She saw the contradiction and struggle in his eyes, and also the guilt and pain behind it, which were a dust laden yet unforgettable barrier. She didn't want him to be tortured again, and she wanted to completely open him up. She raised her head and touched his face, "Lucas, no matter what decision you make, I will support and cooperate with you."
"Sophia!" Lucas looked at her emotionally. She was the only one who knew him.
The air in the room was silent for a long time. A breeze gently blew the window gauze, and the sunlight sprinkled the shadows of the flower trees on the woollen carpet. She was so obsessed in his arms that she almost forgot everything.
