Chapter 1729 Why Would He Like Her

As Lucas thought about how Yasmeen had chased him anywhere for all these years, he felt bad...

If Zoe had chased a man anywhere for so many years, he would have broken that man's legs.

Thus, Lucas really cared about Yasmeen because he knew that there would never be another woman
who would treat him truly in this world.

He had no idea whether it was love or not. He only knew that he was used to her existence, and he
couldn't live without her as she was like air and water.

At the end of every mission, he could see her standing there and waving at him as soon as he stepped
out of the mission area. That bright smile made him feel that all his hard work and efforts had been
worthwhile.

Lucas smiled as he lay on his bed and recalled the years he and Yasmeen had spent together.

She was really annoying when she was a child. He couldn't help but frown and felt uncomfortable
whenever he saw her. But why was it different now?

Was it because she climbed the walls at night to look for him? Or was it because she suddenly fainted
when she fought with him, then he carried her and ran to the doctor with blood that scared him, but
eventually he was told that she was just having her period? Or the way she tore the love letters given
by other girls up right in front of him and she threatened to beat up those girls?

Because of her, Lucas didn’t have a single admirer around even though he was now in his twenties. If
he didn't grab her immediately, he would probably be single for the rest of his life.

When thinking of the kiss not long ago, he suddenly stretched out his tongue and licked his thin lips. It
seemed that her temperature and scent were still on his lips. He couldn't help but feel distracted and
even shy.



Demon!

He shook his head, trying to forget those scenes in his mind, but he felt her face becoming clearer. All
those sweet, angry, mischievous, and aggrieved looks kept coming into his head.

He quickly sat up and went downstairs to have a glass of water. As he saw a person standing in the
living room, he paused for a moment.

He didn't even know someone had entered the house as he was deaf.

"Why are you here?"

He spoke coldly, then poured a glass of cold water and handed it to Michele.

She looked at him and took the glass of water, but she seemed to hesitate.

"What's wrong? You can’t say? Is it because you reported me for erasing Yasmeen’s presence at the
kidnapping scene?"

Lucas said in a light-hearted manner, but her hand gripped the water glass tightly. She was somewhat
panicked and apprehensive.

"I'm sorry."

"Why did you apologize? You only did what you were supposed to do. It was me who broke the rule."

He took a sip of water, pointed to the sofa on the side, and said, "Let’s sit."

Michele was a bit restrained.

They had grown up together and had spent more time together than they had with their parents.



They trained, went on missions, and participated in competitions together. She had spent almost her
entire life with him, but until now she still felt very far away from him.

He was so good to her, and everyone thought they were a couple. Even her had the same thought, but
the person he liked was Yasmeen!

She wasn't sure before until she knew that he had deleted the surveillance footage for Yasmeen.

He was a very disciplined person, and he was so strict with himself. Yet he had committed such a foul
because of her.

"Why?"

Michele knew she shouldn't ask, but she did anyway.

She felt sad if she didn’t ask about it.

He looked at her sad eyes, sighed, and said, "I don't know why, I could not help myself. I just did it. By
the time I noticed it, it was already done."

"Lucas, you can't do that!"

"Michele."

He suddenly raised his voice, causing her to pause for a moment. Soon he realized that he had gotten
a bit agitated.

She bit her lower lip and was in a dilemma.

Should she just confess her feelings for him right now?

"Lucas, I ..."



"I've already decided. I love Yasmeen."

His words made her stunned.

She seemed to be heartbroken.

"Do you really like her? Didn't you hate her before?"

He touched the edge of the glass and his eyes looked gentle as he said, "Perhaps I hated her before,
but it's not easy for a girl to love a person for twenty years, right?”

"Is that the reason you accepted her? I've been with you for over ten years too."

"That's different, Michele. I've always treated you like a sister. In my heart, you and Zoe are the same. I
remember you were so skinny when I first met you. You may not know that my sister was born with
kidney problems, and she spent all her time in hospital until she was four years old. At that time, her
greatest desire was to go out and play like other children in the sunshine. She was shorter than other
kids her age, and you reminded me of my sister when I saw you, so I hoped that you could become
stronger and have a companion by your side.”

His words made her completely at a loss for words.

Sister?

She didn't want to be his sister!

From the beginning, everyone had wanted them to be a couple. Didn't he know that?

She was a little resigned.



"What made you think she’s better than I am? I can do whatever she can or can’t do for you. Lucas, I
like you! I don't believe you can't notice it after all these years!"

She finally managed to speak up, but tears were welling in her eyes.

She didn't want to say it at this time, and she thought she could express her feelings after he fully
accepted her. But how did it turn out that Yasmeen had gotten his love?

How was Yasmeen even better than she was?

She was dignified, gentle, and had been concerned about him in silence all these years. She could
even do anything for him. Why she wasn’t the one who got his love?

Yasmeen was bad-tempered, rude, and domineering. She didn’t seem to be a girl at all. Why would he
like her?

Lucas felt somewhat upset after all.

He looked at her and said in a low voice, "Michele, is there anyone else in your eyes besides me?
Actually, you can look at the other people around you, some people are more worthy of your devotion."

"How about you? Is there anyone else in your eyes? How do you know that there is no one else other
than Yasmeen who is more worthy of your affection?"

Her objection instantly made him pause.

Others?

His eyes and mind were fully occupied by Yasmeen. How could he love anyone else?
