Although his eyes were looking at her, his gaze appeared to be looking through her. Just who was he looking to
substitute?
There was a time when he kept imagining what the little girl would look lilor after she had grown up. The women
that he dated would more or less bear some semblance to that imaginary woman.
However, Serenity wasn’t the one who had saved him all those years ago. It was actually Lynette, the lady sitting
before him.

with Serenity, especially their eyebrows and jaw, but he could still easily tell these two people apart.
What’s more, the aura they gave off was completely different.
“Luras?”
The sound of Lynette’s voice snapped him out of his thoughts. “You’re not a substitute,” he said.
“Then.. were you really looking for a substitute back then? Or is it just gossip by the media?” asked Lynette as she

for, Lacas was not an ordinary person.

happen to her.
