Chapter 27
Lucas was in so much self-doubt after last night's confession. He couldn't sleep, his mind was filled with a lot of thoughts that kept on haunting him. Savannah was fast asleep with Amara in her embrace, Adrian beside the little girl.
Amara, was she really her daughter? The question made him watched the two like a creep the entire night. He admitted that they got some similarities, the same color of eyes and hair. But, were those enough to prove that she was really her biological daughter?As much as Lucas wanted to deny it, they did act like mother and child in front of him. There was a little, faint hope in his chest that maybe Amara was adopted, and that those physical similarities were just a mere coincidence. He could just hope.Lucas wanted to ask the woman directly, but he wasn't so sure about that himself. Judged from the way she unnoticeably tried to hide the fact that Amara was her daughter and the condition where she unconsciously revealedRelated chapters
A Girl From the Past Chapter 28
Lucas had hired some people to assist him in his attempt to find Sofia. For about five days, he had been trying to solve the puzzle of memory in his head, looking for any small hint that could lead him to her.A small house in the countryside where he used to live gave him a little hope. Wasting no time, Lucas had been sending someone to examine the house along with the elderly couple who lived there. From the person that he had hired, he got an address which he hoped could help him.The address was given by the elderly couple, who bought the house after Sofia's family moved away. The house wasn't far from where his mother lived right now. He could not visit her since he only sent someone to do the job for him.Lucas looked down at the notes in his hand, clutching the small paper in his hand so tightly as if he was afraid if he would lose it. It contained the address of Sofia's family after she moved away. He wished that her family would still live i
A Girl From the Past Chapter 29
Lucas just felt that lately, there’s been a greater distance between him and his secretary. Savannah had gotten close to him the last few months, and in just a short amount of time, the distance grew again in between them.Much to Lucas’ dismay, lately he also noticed Andrew getting quite close to Savannah for his liking. His assistant had been hanging around her a lot.Just like right now, they were discussing the new project that possibly would be a tremendous benefit to the company. Savannah was standing beside Andrew around the table near where Charlie currently sat.Lucas stood in front of Charlie, subconsciously glaring at the two. It’s as if he wished Andrew to vanish into thin air to some place. He wouldn’t care if the man was freezing in Antarctica, or suddenly got on a date with the gorilla in the zoo. Whatever, as long as it put some distance between him and Savannah.The thought of Andrew having a

He was wearing a black suit, looking at the window in deep thoughts. Yet, in the silent atmosphere, he still couldn’t think straight. Something was bothering him.After some moments, Lucas sighed deeply. His body falling into the chair behind him. A few minutes passed as a frown decorated his handsome face.Lucas took off his suit, changing it into more comfortable clothes, a black T-shirt that was neither too tight nor too loose. At the same time, he gathered his thoughts. A resolute look appeared on his face as he finally decided on something important.Snatching the keys on top of the table, Lucas exited the apartment as he walked towards the garage where he got in his car and drove somewhere.That afternoon, Savannah had just woken up. Her body felt sore all over lately, and she was incredibly tired. Both in mind and body.Yawning softly, Savannah exited the house, looking at the familiar scenery of the house that h

Lucas felt a massive headache in his head and the pain gnawing at his heart. The guilt of what happened a few years ago surfaced again in his emotion.Fate has its unique way of toying with people’s feelings.Maybe, in the past, he was too impulsive to rebel against his father’s decision in that manner. Now, he was regretting it all.He was too arrogant in the past, and it unknowingly has become his weakness. It made him judge people without a clear head and looking at things from another person’s perspective.Lucas threw his body in the bed, clearly frustrated. His head hit the wooden table near the bed, yet he ignored the pain. Both his hands were covering his face. He felt numb, and in his heart, he realized that he had been such a fool.The marriage at that time indeed wasn’t held in a grand manner. Only the close work colleagues and distant relatives came to the wedding. Still, it must still be hu
A Girl From the Past Chapter 32
Lucas had been absent from the work for nearly three days until now, yet Andrew didn’t urge him to return to the office as soon as possible. From the tone of his friend, he knew that he was probably mulling about something. At a time like this, Lucas liked to be alone.Savannah also somehow seemed to act a bit strange the day Lucas called for some days off. It was as if her mind was somewhere else. She lost a bit of focus on her work, though it didn’t affect her overall performance. Savannah would be in a daze when she got called by someone. Then, after a while, she would finally snap out of it. It happened a few times.Andrew noticed the probability of the two people’s actions somehow related to each other. But he didn’t want to probe on both of their privacies.That was until today, Savannah came knocking on his door, asking for full a week off. Her face was emotionless, though sometimes anxiety could be perceived

Lucas stared at the address and some information written on the screen of his phone. His usually indifferent face seemed to be filled with anticipation and a mixed feeling. Sometimes, anxiety and nervousness also meddled within.He had contacted some people to search for certain information a few months ago. Now, he finally received the result. Sighing, Lucas checked at his clock. Two hours until work ended.The address he received wasn’t considered nearby nor far from he was right now. Maybe an hour's drive and he would arrive at the place.From the information. He more or less knew that the name of the couple who raised Sofia was the same. He wasn’t sure if it was a coincidence or not, but he hoped that it wasn’t.A change of heart. Will it happen or not?Time ticked by slowly. As the two hours finally ended, Lucas spared no time to loiter around. He swiftly walked out of his room, almost making employees
A Girl From the Past Chapter 34
Lucas looked around his office absent mindedly. It still filled his mind with yesterday’s event. He couldn’t help but think about a few possibilities that made the woman he knew as ‘Auntie Ellia’ act like that. Yet, if he didn’t seek the answer, he will only be able to guess and never to find the truth.Lucas glanced at his phone and contacted some people who were familiar with investigating something. Surely, he wanted to find some leads about it.The investigation probably going to take quite some time, so he decided that maybe he could secretly visit that house again to observe the case.“You seem so busy lately.” Andrew yawned tiredly as he slammed the documents in his hands into Lucas’ table. It was packed full of the task he had just finished.Lucas just glanced at him and didn’t provide any reply. Andrew wasn’t bothered either, and he just leisurely took a seat on the opposite of Lucas. He

Lucas’s heart almost jumped out of his chest. His expression only changed for a moment before quickly returned to normal. His usual emotionless mask that almost everyone was familiar with. He had done this; masking his emotion a lot of times, so after a few moments of secretly neutralizing his breathing, his heart calmed down.“I am just a passerby, Sir.” Lucas quickly said to the middle-aged man in front of him. “I am searching for one of my relatives here who is being hospitalized right now and accidentally got lost in the way.”The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes at Lucas, who kept on a calm expression. Though, a storm was raging in his heart right now. If he didn’t quickly leave the place right now, there was a possibility that the woman inside would come out to check the situation. If that happens, then he would be found out.Despite his worry, Lucas kept the calm expression displayed on his face,
