The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 155

"Really?"

She tilted her head, her usually distant, amber eyes shimmering softly, as if profoundly moved by his words.

Before he could answer, she gave a firm little nod, flashing a defenseless smile.

"I believe you. After all, when we first met, I was still overweight."

Watching her innocent, easily comforted demeanor, a thought struck him.

She was like a pristine white water lily.

Pure, unblemished, gentle, and utterly serene.

Even after clawing her way out of the suffocating mud, she hadn't allowed the filth to stain her soul.

Instead, she continued to treat the world with the purest kindness.

Being around her brought a strange, grounding peace to his chaotic mind.

It was as if her smile washed away all his toxic frustrations.

Spotting a bench nearby, the two of them sat down.

Having successfully played the sympathy card, Mika smoothly changed the subject.

"By the way, what brought you to the therapy room today? Are you feeling sore again?"

Her tone was thick with genuine concern, as if she were deeply worried his old injuries were acting up.

"No. I was out drinking with Quince and the guys last night. Got trashed and missed your message.

I figured I'd just swing by and find you today. Didn't expect to catch that piece of trash harassing you."

Lucas leaned back against the bench, explaining casually.

"Oh, that makes sense." Her eyes widened in realization, and she offered a sheepish shrug.

"I honestly thought you were ignoring me. I was too scared to double-text."
