Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 439

Sherry didn't feel like explaining everything.

She just kissed him instead. His lips were soft—she loved the feel of them.

And honestly, it worked like a charm. It shut him right up.

Then he leaned in and kissed her back, harder. His deep eyes seemed like they wanted to devour this little girl completely.

He was intense. Wild, even.

Sherry brushed her fingers over his brow. "I like you better this way."

Lucas raised an eyebrow. "So you didn't like me before?"

"I did... but you seemed too... tame back then."

For a moment, Lucas' mind raced through a flood of memories.

That version of him had already scared plenty of people off...

Tame.

Anyone who really knew him would probably lose it if they heard that word.

"The person Julia loved most in her life."

Sherry scanned the flowery tribute posted nearby. All elegant words, not an ounce of real feeling.

She smirked openly at that line.

When it came to putting on a show, nobody could outdo Julia.

"It's pretty risky being here," Lucas remarked. "If those people are working with Julia, they'll report every little detail. She'll know you came."

That was what he said—but there wasn't a trace of worry in his eyes. He looked almost amused, like he was commenting on the weather rather than a potential threat.

He wasn't scared at all.

Not only that. Maybe it was because he'd heard Sherry say she liked his wild side the night before.

But honestly, his whole demeanor had shifted.

Before, he carried that polished CEO vibe everywhere—sharp suits, impeccable style, handsome as ever.

But Sherry always felt something didn't quite fit. Like he was playing a part everyone kept their distance from.

So liking him had felt... conditional.

Now it was different. He was still himself, but there was a magnetic, untamed edge to him—something you couldn't look away from.

He'd swapped his formal suits for tailored long coats and casual button-downs, standing with an easy confidence.

Truth was, even in a crowd of visitors paying their respects, people kept glancing his way. This new look drew attention even overseas.
