Chapter 1062

Time had definitely changed him. Being away from everyone had done something to him. In the end, maybe it was just Serenity's hormones messing with her mood, but she reached out and touched the young man's hand.

"Lucius... I think what happened back then shouldn't be a reason for us not to try again. I'm not saying we have to be the closest siblings ever, but at least we can try talking... and let time do the rest."

"Are you sure about that? Did you really forget that I raised my hand against you so easily?" Lucius asked, ashamed, trying to pull his hand away.

"Lucius, we're children of the same father... We can't stay angry or distant forever.

"The truth is, the ones who caused all this... they're not even around anymore-or at least that's what I think. And here we are, still distant. I think, for the sake of getting along with our siblings, it's best we smooth things over," Serenity said calmly and sincerely.

"You think your husband's gonna accept me?" Lucius asked, clear doubt in his voice.

"I know it won't be easy. Honestly, I came to see you without telling him. I didn't want him insisting on coming along or, like you with Laura, influencing my decision.

"In the end, I think our parents lived a pretty strange and complicated life before we were even in the picture, and I don't see why we should carry the weight of what they did. We already have enough on our plate with Paul."

"You know about that?" Lucius asked, surprised.

"Yeah... Laura told me. She was feeling a bit anxious and called to let me know what was going on," Serenity said, looking at the young man in front of her. "Lucius, look at me, please..." she added, trying to get him to lift his gaze.

"What?" he said, raising his eyes to meet hers.

"See? That wasn't so hard," Serenity said with a smile.

"You women... always finding unusual ways to get to us," Lucius said, thinking about the real reason he made the effort to have this conversation with his sister.

"Why do you say that?" Serenity asked, curious.

"I have a girlfriend!" Lucius blurted out.

"Aha! And?"

"Amanda made me patch things up with you..." Lucius said, a little embarrassed.
