No Escape from Love novel Chapter 81

I was overjoyed. "What a coincidence!"

Lucas nodded, his eyes lighting up with genuine delight. "By the way, I still don't know your name."

"I'm Serena," I said. "How are you so skilled at fighting?"

Pride flickered across his face. "I've competed in karate tournaments and even won a championship."

I was surprised as I recalled my first impression of him. Back then, he had been bullied by Henry and Xena, and I had assumed he was soft and easily pushed around.

Perhaps reading my thoughts, he lowered his gaze. "They're the future heads of the Schneider family. If I were to fight back, it would've upset my father."

I let out a long sigh. Yet another child trapped by circumstances.

"Serena?" a familiar voice, filled with urgency, called from outside.

"Is someone looking for you?" Lucas asked. "Is he the guy who dropped you off earlier?"

I nodded. "Yes, he's my brother. He helped me move today."

"Your brother?" Lucas chuckled softly. "Since you're fine, I'll make a move first. You should head out so that he doesn't worry too much."

"Alright." I nodded. "Thank you so much for today."

Lucas hopped into a sleek black Mercedes. With a purr of the engine, the car vanished in no time. Meanwhile, Alex's anxious voice echoed from outside.

"I'm here!" I stepped out, feeling a wave of relief as I had just narrowly escaped a disaster.
