Chapter 156
Lucas went to get the phone he had thrown into the garden before he even realized what he was doing. The garden was quite earthy
It was a dumbphone from ten years ago, something even a man as old as Justin wouldn’t use now.
The phone was locked. Lucas found himself hilarious when he saw the cue reading “Enter the password”.
Lucas thought that he must have lost his mind that he even got curious about what was on the phone.
What was so entrancing about it? It was nothing more than a phone Jessica had deserted.
Yet still, Lucas didn’t stop trying to unlock the phone.
When his fingers fell on the keyboard, he subconsciously entered Jessica’s birthday as the code.
It didn’t work.
Lucas frowned, and for some reason, he tried his own birthday.
Lucas felt a throb in his heart when he unlocked the phone.
It was hard to tell what Lucas feelings were like at that moment. It was like a hunch for winning a lottery was proved. Lucas felt joyed and contented.

The contact list was empty, but there were over 200 text messages.
Lucas knew a gentleman shouldn’t have pried on others’ privacy. But anyway, Jessica couldn’t think worse of him, could she?
It made no difference to do one more hateful thing.
Everyone had a rebellious kid in their heart. Lucas had lived 30 years as an obedient kid, yet Jessica made that rebellious one in him surface..
Lucas didn’t know what was wrong with him. But he always had a strong reaction when it came to anything related to
Jessica.
That was how he felt when he tried to unlock the cell.
The latest was from four years ago, reading “I married him”.
The latest but one read: “I don’t know what happened. It was all a mess. He said he would marry me, but I have a bad hunch over it”.
The one before that was brief, too. It said, “I saw him today”.
All the messages were from the same number. It took Lucas half an hour to finish them all.
The very first one read “I found him”.
The messages might seem puzzling to an outsider, but Lucas knew clearly what they were about.
The messages, as well as the sketch Olivia had found, proved nothing but Jessica’s love for Lucas.
Holding the dumbphone, Lucas felt that all his sullenness had gone. He could hear his heart pounding wildly.
Four years ago, Lucas once thought Jessica was the plotter and married him for his wealth, Yet after Jessica divorced him, Lucas realized that Jessica was also a victim and she married him for nothing but love.
Later, Lucas found out about the sketch and the novel. That was when Lucas learned that Jessica had been in love with him for years.
Yet none of those had a stronger impact than these texts.
Recalling the past, Lucas felt overwhelmed by a mix of feelings that he had never experienced before.
Vincent felt a bit startled when he received Lucas’ call through the intercom. Lucas had been in a bad mood these days. If not necessary, Vincent wouldn’t go to Lucas’ office.
The Novel will be updated daily. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
