Chapter 843
Anne met him at a coffee shop not far from Pinnacle Academy.
It was close to some public schools.
Before she arrived, Lucas was already there. After all, he lived closer to the coffee shop.
Lucas chose the spot close to the window, and she could see the scenery outside, which would probably make her feel better.
Lucas was very thoughtful.
Lucas was stunned when he saw Anne.
After sitting down, Anne asked, “Is my face ugly? Do I look like a vampire?”
“Ms. Vallois… are you okay?” Lucas asked.
The last time they met, Anne was not like this.
Anne was already restraining her emotions, but tears welled up in her eyes, and her eyes stung as if there was acid in them.
She calmed down and said, “My mother was thrown into the mountains not far from my father’s cemetery. By the time I found her, it was already too late.”
Lucas was shocked, and he did not expect this to happen. His heart felt heavy. “Anne, my condolences…”
“Of course, I still have to find the murderer.” Anne had hatred in her eyes.
“Is there a funeral for Ma’am Vallois? I didn’t hear about it.”
“No. I want to bury my father with my mother,” Anne said.
“Indeed. Ma’am Vallois has always loved Mr. Faye. Sorry, I didn’t go to mourn Mr. Faye.”
Anne shook her head. “You can’t get in even if you go.” You’d probably be stopped by Anthony’s people, just like yesterday in the cemetery. I wanted to apologize.”
The waiter came over and placed a glass of fruit milkshake in front of Anne.
“Thanks.”
“You’re welcome.” The waiter left.
“I ordered it for you. I still remember that you always drank this every time I went out with you.” Lucas said.
“You have a really good memory.” Anne bit the straw and took a sip, but her expression remained tense.” It doesn’t have the same taste as before.”
Lucas knew what she meant.
“By the way, why aren’t you with your girlfriend these few days?”
“She’s not my girlfriend.”
Anne did not care much and said, “I wanted to ask Leta about school matters last Thursday, but I didn’t call because I didn’t know her well.”
“It’s okay, I’ll make a call and ask her.” Lucas took out his mobile phone and called Leta. After saying a few words, he hung up the phone. “She doesn’t have class now. She’ll be here soon.”
Then he ordered a cup of coffee for Leta.
Leta came very quickly. She looked cute, and the mole on the corner of her mouth made her look
attractive.
“Thinking about me?” Leta sat down beside Lucas.
“I ordered coffee for you,” Lucas said.
The waiter brought her coffee.
“I wanted to ask, are you two together?” Leta asked after taking a sip of coffee.
Anne was stunned for a moment, unable to understand her.
Leta said, “I thought he rejected me because of you.”
Seeing that she did not look angry when she said this, Anne said, “Luckily, I didn’t meet you last Thursday.”
“Don’t worry. Many men are hitting on me. Although I’m a bit disappointed with the results, I’m still happy to befriend you,” Leta said.
Anne smiled slightly. “Were you at school last Thursday?”
“No.”
“You skipped class?”
“I went shopping to cure my broken heart.”
