Chapter 18: Explore the City
The sound of footsteps coming from behind made Lucasta turn her head to look.
She recognized that the girl walking beside Maris was Aurora, who had come to the castle and examined her ten years ago.
Finally, she also found someone who has changed over time, just like her.
Although Lucasta noticed Aurora was still younger and more beautiful than her actual age, the wrinkles around the corners of her eyes when she smiled proved that aging is the law of nature.
– Ms. Aurora, oh, Ms. Aurora. I haven’t seen you for a long time. – Lucasta quickly let go of Harvey’s hand and hugged Aurora.
– Yes, ten years have passed. You’ve grown up already. – Aurora patted Lucasta’s back and smiled.
Until Lucasta let go of Aurora, her eyes were still filled with tears because she was so emotional.
She did not know when she fell asleep.
When she regained consciousness, she realized she was lying on the bed.
Just now, in her dream, she thought she was sleeping in the castle.
– All right, Lucasta, we’ll go to Harvey’s house and stay there for a few days. I will take you out and go shopping tonight.
Harvey’s eyes widened in surprise.
Samson did not discuss it with him in advance but decided everything by himself.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Harvey wasn’t petty enough to refuse his friend’s request, but why did he feel like he was being forced?
If it was Samson alone, Harvey wouldn’t say anything, but Maris and Lucasta are here too.
He felt like he was going crazy.
– Will Aurora come with us? – Lucasta turned to Samson and asked.
– I still have some unfinished reports. I’ll try to finish it tonight and come see you tomorrow morning.
Aurora’s answer matched Samson’s.
She seemed to be the one who understood him best, just like her parents had been.
Lucasta would want to go outside during the day, and none of them could take her out except Aurora.
Poor Harvey had to give Aurora a backup magnetic card so she could use the elevator at the luxury apartment complex and then take the three guests back to his apartment for them to stay.
Along the way, Lucasta enjoyed looking out of the car window and capturing all the shimmering scenes in her eyes.
The questions kept coming and Samson had to patiently answer them all.
Whenever his throat was dry and he had to stop, Harvey or Maris would answer Lucasta.
One person asked and three people had to take turns answering, proving that Lucasta’s ears, nose, and throat are also very good.
– Oh, Samson, I love that dress. Lucasta exclaimed as the car passed a clothing store.
– Okay, I’ll take you back there in a moment. Harvey will have to rest to go to work tomorrow morning, so can’t stop the car now. Samson said.
– Samson, what is that? So beautiful.
Samson followed Lucasta’s finger, and he saw the amusement park’s Ferris wheel.
The colorful electric lights are moving in an arc, creating an extremely fanciful scene and extremely attractive to the curiosity and passion of the discovery of the girl who first set foot in the bustling city.
– It’s the Ferris wheel. I’ll take you there tomorrow night. – He stroked her hair and said.
– Looks like it’s taller than the tree I climbed.
– Yes. It is about two hundred meters above sea level, is one of the largest Ferris wheels in the world, and is also the least expensive solution for you to admire the panoramic view of the city.
Lucasta started doing some math to estimate the height of the Ferris wheel.
Last month, Samson measured her and he said she was one meter and sixty centimeters tall.
Based on that, she calculated that the height of the Ferris wheel would be about one hundred and twenty-five Lucasta standing on top of each other.
She wanted him to take her there right now, but then she tried to hold back because she knew there was a lot of work to do tonight.
Samson said the first thing he did when he arrived in the city was he would take her shopping for clothes and shoes, then take her to get a haircut and enjoy the food and drinks.
Harvey’s apartment was on the top floor.
People can also enjoy the entire view of the city from here.
Lucasta approached the window and looked around.
She felt a little overwhelmed by this height, but she still tried to appear normal because she was afraid that her brother would not let her sit on the Ferris wheel.
The modern items in the luxurious apartment made her extremely curious, but she only dared to sneakily touch them.
– This is your room, this is Lucasta’s room, and this is Maris’ room.
After Harvey finished speaking, he threw the car keys and bank card to Samson.
After all, half of the assets in his name, including the Star Corporation, belong to Samson.
– Has the password been changed? – Samson held up the black card and asked.
– No. Still the same as before.
Samson took Lucasta’s hand and walked towards the door because he knew she was hungry when he heard her stomach growl.
Maris was applying some lipstick and blusher when she saw him leave, so she hurriedly ran after him.
She didn’t need to eat or drink, but she didn’t want to be at home with only Harvey.
He would scream and lecture her about how lust would put everyone in danger.
– Do you remember how to drive a car, Samson? Streets today are not like the streets of thirty years ago. Do you remember the traffic signs? Maris asked while fastening her seat belt.
– Thirty years? – Lucasta’s eyes widened in surprise.
– Ah. I mean, years ago, the streets were so empty that you could drive a few thousand kilometers without ever having to slow down suddenly.
Maris had just finished speaking when Samson immediately stepped on the brake because the car in front suddenly turned sideways without warning.
There was an example that just happened, so Lucasta quickly forgot the phrase thirty years.
She continued to press her face against the window of the car to watch the traffic in the other lane.
Thirty years ago, Samson left the forest with Vincent.
Because Samson wanted convenience in finding Maris, he was forced to learn how to drive like a human rather than dare to fly and jump.
Thirty years ago was the period when vampire hunters were the most active.
If Lucasta had noticed Maris’s statement, she would have been surprised because Samson had been driving when he was a year old.
According to what he told her, he was eleven years older than her.
When the car approached the gate of a luxury restaurant, Samson slowed the car down and slowly turned into the parking lot.
This restaurant is also one of the oldest dining spots in the city.
In the past, it was just a small restaurant.
When it was expanded, the menu was also more diverse.
– Please choose some food, Lucasta. We only have five minutes to order, so focus. He handed her the menu and spoke up.
– All right.
The girl quickly opened the menu and ordered the dishes she had seen in the books.
There were strange dishes, but they were eye-catching, so she ordered them too.
The waitress was surprised that there were only three people, but the amount of food Lucasta ordered was for five or six people.
As for Samson, he felt normal because he knew his sister was a glutton, and if it was her favorite food, she would eat three times more than usual.
As the waitress left, Samson reached for a white towel from the table and spread it over Lucasta’s lap, and explained to her that the towel was used to prevent food from falling to the floor.
– When you need to wipe your mouth, simply pull up one end of the towel and gently touch your mouth. Do you understand?
– I got it. It’s troublesome. – Lucasta grimaced but still smiled.
The dish was quickly brought up by the waiter to fill Lucasta’s empty stomach.
Maris and Samson only occasionally put a little food in their mouths to chew because they felt it would be weird if they just watched Lucasta eat.
Everyone in the restaurant was constantly looking at Samson because he was the only one wearing sunglasses while eating.
After the meal was over, the three of them continued to move to the clothing store where Lucasta’s favorite dress was on display.
Unlike the restaurant, when they came here, both Maris and Samson enthusiastically chose their outfits.
Maris has always been attracted to red dresses.
Her dress collection is mostly red, only a few are of other colors, but they are all in fiery colors.
– Samson, I like this dress too. Lucasta exclaimed after each time she chose a dress for herself and put it in the stroller.
Just now, Samson let Lucasta choose freely, but this time because he had finished choosing his clothes, he looked up, and he was almost motionless when he saw that the dress she was holding was a very sexy design.
He knew that if she wore it, it would show most of her body.
– Put it down. Lucasta, you can’t wear dresses like that. – He said as he ran over to her and put the dress back where it was.
– Why can’t I wear it? Maris also chose the same dress. Lucasta asked.
Maris was twirling in front of the mirror to see if the dress would suit her.
Although her age is equal to an old woman who has lived for a long time, Maris’s perfect and extremely hot body has made the nearby girls jealous.
The gentlemen also could not take their eyes off this woman.
Only Samson sighed and shook his head as he looked at her.
– Lucasta, Maris has a slim waist and long legs, but you don’t.
– Are you saying I’m fat? You are criticizing me, aren’t you? – Lucasta sulked.
– I’m not criticizing you. I just want you to know your appearance and choose the right clothes. Because you are fat, you look very cute, like a ball.
Lucasta’s lips tightened, and her eyes widened, staring at her brother.
If he compares her to a ball, is she allowed to compare him to firewood?
Because he raised her to look like this, now he dares to disparage her.
Is it true that in his eyes, only Eirlys is a beautiful girl?
– I will fast to thin and wear them for you to see.
– Why are you so persistent, Lucasta? Many other dresses will suit you. Do not be angry anymore. I’ll take you out for ice cream.
– I don’t eat.
– Chocolate ice cream, milk ice cream, and strawberry ice cream…
– You’re the bad guy.
Lucasta threw the wide-brimmed hat in her hand at Samson and ran towards Maris.
She also did not forget to tell Maris that her brother was disparaging her.
Maris coaxed Lucasta for a long time before she calmed her anger, but she still refused to answer any of Samson’s questions.
She wanted to use her silence to punish him.
She still remembered when she wanted to replace the painting on the wall.
At that moment, he held her hand and looked at her with strange eyes.
