When it cshe could finally remove the prosthetic scar, and she can show Lucas her true face. She had not thought of his reaction when she revealed her true face to him, but she was tired of living in shame.

Lucas studied her face for a few moments, before nodding. "What kind of birthday present do you want?" She shook her head. "I want you to spend it with me, but it's not because I want a present from you. I just want to tell you a secret." "Is it the ssecret you mentioned the last time?" She nodded. "Yes. I want you to be the first to know, because..." She paused, realizing that she could no longer say that he was her only friend. Instead, she said, "Because you are the only one who would be withfor my birthday." She smiled at him. "Even if I say nothing, you are probably going to be there for my birthday anyway, Mr. Lucas. We spend every day together." That would not change until they were both in university.
"What kind of secret is that?" Lucas asked. "So mysterious." "It's not that important, really... I just want to share it with you. You probably won't think much of it after I tell you... Mr. Lucas, you didn't eat much just now during lunch. Did you not like the food I made?" She changed the subject.
"We've been having meat every meal, and I'm feeling a little sick of it. It has nothing to do with your cooking," he said.
"Let's have a vegetarian meal tonight, then! Mr. Lucas, you need to tellwhat you want. I will never know what you are thinking if you don't say anything. You could have toldthat you wanted vegetables! I thought that you love meat!" "I just think that you should eat more meat," he confessed.
Ever since Lucas had asked her to eat with him, they had shared every meal together in the South Block.
Irene froze, and tears welled in her eyes.
"I don't want to hear your long speeches of gratitude. Don't thank me." He stopped her before she could say anything.

"Who is talking about that?" "Everyone in the mansion! Ms. Bennett cover last time, and she seemed to be extremely into you then, so why haven't we heard from her since?" She had never seen Lucas on the phone, and when he was on his phone he had been absorbed in his games most of the time. Seeing how curious she was, he took out his phone and showed it to her.
She accepted his phone and took a glance.
Kasey had called him a couple of times, but he had not picked up; she had sent him countless text messages as well, and he had ignored all of them.
"So I wasn't the only one that you ignored. You are ignoring Ms. Bennett's texts as well," she exclaimed.
He snatched his phone out of her hand. "I didn't reply to your messages because I didn't know what to say! I didn't reply to hers because I didn't want to. It's not the sthing." Irene's heart was instantly filled with joy when she heard his explanation.
The two took the bus to the city center.
There were not many people in the city area as most shop owners had closed their shops to return hto their families. However, there were still a few shops that were open. "What present do you want? I will buy you something today," he said. "If you turn it down again, you are getting nothing."
