You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 526

For the past few years, Lucille had only been drawing and taking care of Aurora. Her life was simple and boring, and she was busy.

It was also because of this that her feelings for Franklin sank little by little over the days as if they had already sunk to the deepest parts of her heart.

At that moment, when she saw Franklin, who was looking at her painting, her feet felt as if they were filled with lead.

She did not know whether she should take a step forward or leave.

She did not even have the courage to go up and greet him.

Lucille touched the mask and glasses on her face to make sure that he would not discover her. Then, she turned around as if nothing had happened and walked out quickly. "Miss Jules, you've just arrived. Are you going to leave?"

When the staff members realized that she was about to leave, they quickly asked her.

Because Lucille had already walked out for some distance, the staff member's voice was a little bit louder.

Lucille waved her hand. "I just remembered that Master Zane asked me to do something."

She walked as she spoke, while praying in her heart. She prayed that Franklin did not hear the staff member calling her.

She lowered her head, but suddenly there was a "black wall" in front of her. When she saw it, it was too late for her to stop, and she crashed straight into it! "Sorry, I am sorry."

Lucille held the sunglasses that had been knocked crooked by her hands and looked up to apologize.

When she looked up and saw the familiar black down jacket and the white scarf, as well as the man's familiar face, her face instantly froze.

Without waiting for him to speak, Lucille quickly made a detour.

She wanted to flee!

However, the moment she took a step forward, he grabbed her by her collar.

Franklin's angry voice came from behind her, "How long are you going to disappear this time?"

Since she had been recognized, Lucille could only turn around. She removed her mask and sunglasses and put them into her bag. Then, she greeted Franklin politely and said, "Mr. Moore, it's been a long time."

"Yeah, it's been almost three years, and you've been missing for all this time. Had I not accidentally seen that painting on TV, I would really think that you had disappeared into thin air."

Franklin lowered his head to look at her. His eyes were full of sadness.

Lucille suddenly felt as if she was in a trance.

He was such a ruthless person. How could he feel upset?

She always thought that she could be as calm as still water in front of him.

However, at this moment, when she really faced him, she knew that he was deeply rooted in her heart. No matter how deeply she tried to hide it, as long as she met him again, everything that once happened in the past would be in turmoil.

"Mr. Moore, we have been divorced for many years. May I ask if there is anything I can do for you?"

When Lucille spoke, she tried her best to remain calm.

She tried her best to prevent that man from seeing the surging emotions in her heart.

Franklin was looking at her. When he saw how calm she saw, he was speechless for a moment before he said, "Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner."

"I'm sorry, I'm not free."

She refused him neatly.

When she saw Franklin that night, he kissed her and told her that he wanted to start anew. But the next day, he brushed it off and said that he drank too much. She had not forgotten that bitter feeling. It stayed with her even until now. It was because of this that she would not give him another chance to hurt her. "So... What is your phone number now?"

"Mr. Moore, we are divorced. Please disappear from my life forever, okay?"

Lucille looked up and said affirmatively.

He stared at the woman in front of him. She was no longer the simple girl he remembered in his memory. She was now more confident and calmer. For her, he was someone from her past.

He was at a loss for words at the moment.

"Mr. Moore, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

She bowed slightly, and she was about to leave.

She was perfectly fine being alone, and so was Aurora. She was determined not to let Franklin disturb their lives.

"Wait!"

"What else do you want to say?"

"Where are you going? Let me give you a ride."

"There's no need."

She continued to refuse him.

While they were talking, a taxi happened to pass by. She waved and got in the cab.

She did not even say goodbye to him.

She dared not turn back after the taxi started to drive.

Suddenly, the taxi driver asked, "Girl, is that man your boyfriend?"

"What?"

"The one who sent you to my cab. He stood there for a long time."

Hearing the taxi driver say that, Lucille could not help but turn her head around and whispered, "Is that so?"

Seeing her turn her head, the taxi driver continued, "We have already made a turn.

Before the turn, he was still standing there."

"Oh..."

Lucille turned her head back. She felt somewhat complicated in her heart.

Franklin was standing there and watching her?

They had not met for over two years. What did he want this time?

Lucille returned to the academy and saw Ralph chatting with Zoel in the main hall.

She walked in and greeted him respectfully. "Master Zane, I'm back."

Ralph looked at his watch. Lucille had been gone for merely less than an hour. "Have you been to the exhibition?"

"Yes... I have."

She nodded.

"Why did you come back so soon?" He asked.

"I... I suddenly have something to do, so..."

"She came back because she saw Franklin."

Without waiting for Lucille to finish her lie, Zoel, who was sitting at the side, had said it for her.

"Oh? Who is Franklin?" Ralph looked at him with curiosity.

"Her ex-husband."

Lucille did not expect him to be so straightforward about it.

During her time in the art academy, Ralph had never crossed the line and asked much about her personal affairs. As such, he did not know who Aurora's father was or why she had a divorce. He never asked about anything.

However, that day, after hearing about it, the old man put down the cup in his hand. He stood up and said, "Really? Is he still there? I want to meet him!"

"What? Master Zane, what are you doing?"

Lucille rushed up to stop him.

"Me? I want to compare your ex-husband with this brat," Ralph said. He was about to grab his coat and set off.

"Grandpa, don't go. Since Lucille has returned, he must have left too."

Zoel was also surprised. Ralph had always been a person who did not care about anything. Now, he was so gossipy and even wanted to meet Franklin!

"Well..." Ralph felt that his words made sense. He sat down again, pointed at Lucille, and said, "Next time, call him over and let me meet him!"

"Master Zane, I have already lost contact with him. I only met him by coincidence this time." She was also taken aback. What was wrong with Ralph? Why did he want to meet Franklin?

"Oh." He pointed at Zoel and said, "You have to work hard, brat. Lucille's ex-husband is already out of the game. Why aren't you pursuing her?"

"Yes, yes, I will do my best."

He happily agreed to Ralph.

Ever since Ralph took Lucille in as his disciple, every time Zoel came, he would try to get Zoel and Lucille together. Back then, she had explained their situation, but after a long time, she stopped trying.
