Chapter 3106
When he was told of Irene's passing, he would often dream of her nightly. However, the dreams stopped when he started his company. Each minute was filled with work. Ivy's appearance had reminded him of Irene once again. Lucas' biggest regret was leaving home to study in Edelweiss without bidding farewell to Irene; he had thought that he would eventually see her again, only to be told later that he would never be able to see her again. He had left his phone behind because he wanted a new start and did not want to contact his family. Because of his actions, he had lost touch with her. Irene did not have any other friends, so he assumed that she had no one else to talk to after he left.He did not know how Irene died, or whether she suffered before her death. Every time he thought of her, he would find himself overwhelmed by regret and sorrow. He got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. After washing his face, he felt more awake. A voice inside him urged him to r

The furniture was exactly how he had left it. The only difference was that it looked like no one had lived there for a long time. Lucas' room had been meticulously cleaned. All of his belongings were gone, including his clothes. As Lucas emerged from the South Block, Mr. Woods, and Mrs. Woods approached him. "Lucas, what are you looking for? Your stepmother said that you no longer need anything in there, so she had the staff throw them away. I'll get you a replacement of whatever you want!" Mr. Woods said, feeling guilty. "I had an old phone in the cabinet. What happened to that?" Lucas asked. Mr. Woods immediately turned to his wife and asked, "Did you throw away his phone, too?" Mrs. Woods looked flustered. "There was an old phone, but it was very old, the screen was cracked, and the body was chipped. I thought you didn't want it, so…" Lucas clenched his fists and walked away. Mr. Woods caught up with him. "Lucas, I'm sorry! On behalf of your stepmother, I apologize! H

"Should I call you by your name, then? Lucas?" Lucas instantly felt chills run down his spine. "I guess you should stick with Mr. Woods." Ivy smiled. "I don't have your phone number, so why don't we exchange numbers? That way, I inform you when the food is ready." "Do you have to do this?" "I have nothing else to do, and I'm bored." "You can go home," he said. "I will, in a few days. You don't have to remind me. I will definitely go home." "What exactly do you take my place for? A cafe where you can just come and go as you please? I hate people like you who don't understand boundaries." "You said that the last time as well, but you still gave me the keys to your apartment anyway," she said.Lucas parked his car in the parking lot, and both of them got out. "What do you want to eat for lunch, Mr. Woods? I'll prepare it and take it to your company!" Ivy walked over to Lucas and said, "I washed the sofa covers for you, so I need to check if they've dried. If they have,

While Ivy was cooking lunch, she received a video call from her brother, Hayden. Unable to decline her brother's call, Ivy turned off the stove and went to the balcony to take the video call. Holding her phone, she adjusted the lighting and smiled sweetly at the camera. "Hey, how's the wedding preparation going with Shelly?" Hayden asked with a frown, "Where are you?" "At Lucas' place," Ivy replied. "Why are you at his place? Is he there? Let me see him," Hayden said. "He's not here! He went to work," Ivy replied. "If he's not there, then what are you doing at his place?" Hayden asked worriedly. "I... I wanted to cook, so I came to his place to use his kitchen," Ivy said. "Do you even know how to cook?" he asked. "Uh-huh, it doesn't taste that good though." Ivy chuckled. "You're cooking for him, aren't you?" Hayden guessed. "Well, I have some free time, and I was bored, so I thought I'd practice my cooking skills. When I get back home, I'll cook for you guys," Ivy

"Don't joke around! She's leaving soon," Lucas said. Caspian chuckled. "Is she returning to her country?" "Yeah," Lucas confirmed. Caspian teased, "So, she just came here to have fun! Why did she decide to toy with you, though? Hahaha!" "I still haven't figured that out," Lucas said. "Is she hiding something?" Caspian asked. Lucas sighed. "You've met her, too. She answers all of my questions, but her answers always leave me confused. It's like we come from different worlds." For instance, she told him that she knew the Woods' servants, but Lucas, despite having lived with the Woods, was never particularly close to them, so he could not determine if Ivy was telling the truth. "I don't think Ivy is lying. It might be you who is the problem. You've never truly cared about anything or anyone," said Caspian. "It's a pity, though, that such a beautiful lady is leaving. And I thought she must have felt something for you. Looks like she is just here to have fun."Lucas did not

"Of course, there's a point. You can't give me the bracelet, because you've never had it to begin with. Why else would you keep it from Irene three years ago?" Ivy said. "Just why are you so obsessed over this?" "You didn't pay off her debt. You lied to her!" Ivy pointed out. Sam sneered. "That's none of your business. So what if I lied to her? She's dead!" "You are a terrible human being! I never want to see you again!" Ivy said and turned to leave. She never expected Sam to admit to lying to Irene, and Sam, who realized that something was off, caught up to her and grabbed her arm. "Who exactly are you? I've never heard of you from Irene. Are you some kind of a scammer?" She shook his hand off. "You are the scammer here! What exactly did I scam you of? You had lied to Irene!" Sam studied her face. "Y- You... Could you actually be Irene?!" "It's none of your business!" she said, throwing his words back at him. ... After sending the message to Ivy, Lucas returned
Chapter 3112
Ivy returned to Lucas's apartment and found the door open. Entering the apartment, she saw Lucas sitting in the dining room, playing a game. The sight of him sitting there reminded her of how things used to be three years ago. At that time, she was still Lucas' servant, and they would see each other every day. Although they were not particularly close, they could share anything with each other. Rather than disturbing Lucas, Ivy quietly went to his room, changed the bedding for him, and swiftly tidied up the room. By the time she was done, Ivy's stomach was growling with hunger, and she wondered if Lucas had left any food from lunch for her. Approaching Lucas, she noticed there was still plenty of food on the table. It looked like Lucas had hardly touched the food. Surprised, Ivy asked, "Mr. Woods, why haven't you eaten? Are you upset that I went into your room, so you don't want to eat the food I cooked?" Lucas, still focused on his game, did not bother to look up. "You

Ivy took a deep breath. "Irene told me." "What else did she tell you?" Lucas asked. Ivy's heart raced. "Why do you want to know? Did you care for her, Mr. Woods?" Lucas flushed, and he instantly spoke out of pride, "Forget it! I'm going to sleep." She nodded. "Go ahead! Should I wake you up later?" "No." Once Lucas returned to the bedroom, Ivy started tidying the dining table and went to the balcony to check the couch cover. Noticing that it was completely dry, she took it inside and placed the cover back onto the couch. She sat on the couch and got out her phone. She had boldly decided that she would not return home for the time being. Of course, she would definitely go back home when her older brother got married, but after attending the wedding, she would return to Taronia. She liked Lucas, and she was very sure of her feelings.Lucas had gotten her grandmother's bracelet, but he hadn't told her about it. When she thought about it, she guessed that he had not sai
