A Mysterious Man

Chapter 196 You Don't Want Me Anymore

"You are so childish! Do you just treat your own marriage as nothing, don’t you?" The old man scolds

his grandson after hearing his causal remarks.

"I'm not, grandpa, I'm serious, how could I joke about my marriage. You can start preparing for the

wedding tomorrow, I want to get married with Jane within a week." Luca says as he holds the hand of

the girl called Jane Webb.

"What the hell are you going to do! Never mind. I won’t do anything for you anymore!" Brenden is so

angry with him that his face even turns purple. He doesn’t expect anything from his grandson anymore,

and just let him alone and do whatever he wants. You must accept sometimes you couldn’t let a

disobedient grandson to listen to his grandfather.

Having been idle for these days at home, Luca has thought a lot about his relationship with Butler. He

thinks it is very funny that he even could spend so much time in figuring out a question that already has

been clearly answered - Butler doesn’t love him anymore! Now matter what he does for her, whatever

gone is gone.

What’s the meaning for him being depressed and sad like a dog over the past few days. She won’t give

him a look even if he dies at home. Because their love is gone! No! She even won’t hear any news

about him because she doesn’t care him at all!

It turns out that I am the one who has always been in romantic! Forget about it! Why would I bother to

beg for unrequited love? There must be a girl outside the world that will respond to my love.

He tidies up himself and grabs something simple to eat, and returns to be the same handsome Luca

that he used to be.

It is a coincidence that Luca is eating downstairs when he sees Jane passing by and she also sees him

siting there gracefully while enjoying his meal.

It is as if Jane has been shot by Cupid's arrows, which magically leads her walking into the restaurant

and sits near to Luca.

It is obvious that he is very popular and some of the girls in the restaurant have been staring at him for

a long time. She also feels the creepy glances directed at him when she sits near to him.

Luca acts as if he doesn’t see Jane, only focusing eating the food on his plate.

Jane looks at him with embarrassments, seeing that Luca is not paying attention to her, and hearing

the mocking voices from the surrounding girls.

She unconsciously tightens her grip on the bag in her hand, and is surprisingly attracted by his

coldness.

"Hello, my name is Jane, can I be your friend?" Jane looks at the man who sits there looking out of the

window, she takes the initiative to extend her right hand and says.

Luca finally glances at her, just for a while. But he doesn’t seem to interest in her and return to look at

the scenery again.

Luca is so hungry that he randomly finds this restaurant and go in to order some food to eat, but he

doesn’t expect that a girl who looks like a teenager would inexplicably sit opposite to him.

He doesn’t take it seriously at first, as if he is used to this sort of thing. However the little girl comes

over to sit opposite to him and tries to chat him up and make friends with him...what’s going on?

Although he knows that he is quite popular, he doesn’t know that he still looks attractive to those young

girls. Do the young girls all like older men like him now?

Luca looks at the little girl who is approximately 18 or 19 in front of him, then turns his head back to

look out the window.

Jane is a young girl, no doubt, and today is also the first time she has taken the initiative to hit on

another man. Seeing that Luca is not paying attention to her, and that there are other people around

laughing at her in this public place, she can’t stand it any longer.

Just when she is about to give up, Luca finally talks to her.

"How old are you?"

"Ah? Hum... I'm 20." Jane doesn't expect that the first thing Luca asks her is her age, so she hemmed

and hawed a bit.

"You says you're 20? How come you look like 18 or 19?" Luca looks at Jane's baby face and says

slowly.

"Ah! Is that so? But I'm really 20! If you don't believe me, I'll show you my ID card." Jane quickly takes

out the small mirror she carries with her and presses it hard to get her ID card that inserted in it out,

then she passes it to Luca to check.

Luca picks up that ID card, surprisingly, she's really 20 years old, but it's her nominal age. Her real age

is still 18 years old...

The young girl across the table looks as if she could see what Luca is thinking, and takes back her ID

card with an awkward smile.

"What do you want to drink, just order one for yourself." Luca summons the waiter, then pushes the

menu to Jane and asks her.

Jane takes that menu as if she has won a million dollars lottery and nods her head foolishly, then

orders a latte.

"You like me?" Luca asks as he looks at the girl sitting opposite to him.

"Yes." Jane doesn't know why he suddenly asks her that question, but she answers him sincerely.

"So are you free this afternoon? Let's hang out together then go home with me for dinner tonight... and

with my grandfather."

Luca, as if he is afraid that Jane would misunderstand something, deliberately adds that there is also

his grandfather joining their dinner.

"Ah! Yes! I can go with you." Jane responds to him quickly before she realizes that his grandfather is

also being with them. Isn't that means they will meet the parents and the family like a couple?

Although she doesn't know what is going on with her male god, and he would like to bring her home too

quickly, she doesn’t want to think about it now.

In the afternoon, they two go for shopping to buy a lot of things. She also buys a lot of health products

for Luca's grandfather, after all, it is the first time she visits his home, so it is not good to go there

empty-handed.

Luca doesn’t take it so serious and he just accompanies Jane to go shopping in various stores, helping

her carry bags and complaining nothing, which makes Jane's heart beat quicker. Her affection for her

male god increases again. She is so looking forward to their future.

But now Jane should be sad and broken. Luca's grandfather doesn't even give her a look. She

assumes that it is because Brenden doesn't like her that he is so pissed off and leaves.

Am I really that bad? Am I not an adorable girl? Jane lowers her head and says to herself sadly.

If even her male god's grandfather doesn't like her, then there must be no chance for her male god

likes her! The more Jane thinks about it, the sadder she becomes. She is so unhappy that she is about

to bury her face on the table.

"Hey, are you going to bury yourself in the table?" Luca looks at the girl and finally speaks to her.

Jane lifts her head and looks at her male god with a confused look, thinking doesn’t her male god like

her anymore and now is going to throw her out?

"You sit here for a while, I'm going to talk to grandpa." says Luca and goes upstairs to find Brenden.

"Grandpa..." Brenden who is sitting on a chair looks at his grandson at the door and sighs, "Well, you

come in."

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Luca is confused that his usual amiable grandfather is so grumpy

today that leaves the table so rudely. He isn’t angry with him, after all, this is the person that is closest

to him since he is a child.

"Luca, I have gone to see Butler today." The old man doesn't want to talk in a roundabout way and

goes straight to his grandson.

"What? You... "

"Don't interrupt, listen to me first." Brenden stops his grandson first without waiting for him to finish his Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

words, he knows what he wants to ask, so he is ready to explain everything to his grandson.

"Listen to grandpa, I go to visit Butler today, at the beginning I wanted to see what kind of woman could

make my grandson so into for her. I went there and found out that she is the daughter of a deceased

friend of mine. Originally I wanted to talk to her to take you back, and if she doesn’t agree, I would just

grab her and take her back to you, but now it seems that it won't work anymore. But don't be

discouraged, Butler has already promised me to think about it..." the old man gently talks to Luca.

"No need, grandpa, I've already thought about it, there are so many women outside, I don't need her, I

think Jane is quite suitable for me, I'll be good to her in the future. That's all."

Luca’s heart is broke when he hears that "Butler will think about it." Butler really doesn’t love him, if she

loves him, why would she need to think about it?

"Grandpa, Jane and I haven't eaten yet, it's not good to leave a girl in a dinner table, I'll take her to eat

first." Brenden looks at his grandson's back and is a little distressed. What is this all about?

As soon as Luca comes downstairs he sees the little girl who is sitting on a chair shrunken like a ball.

He feels guilty instantly, he shouldn't have invited her and brought her into this.

"Jane, what's wrong with you?" Luca pokes her with his hand.

"Luca... do you not want me anymore?" Jane feels like she has spent the longest time here, as if a

century has passed.

Luca watches Jane's tiny body shrinking into a ball with a pair of watering red eyes. As if his tears are

about to fall out in the next second. He feels something warm growing in his heart, as if a small stone

has been thrown into the surface of a tranquil lake.

"Why would you think like that, I just go up to talk to grandpa, you silly girl." Luca pats Jane's soft, fluffy

hair while laughing and calling her a silly girl.

"... I thought you doesn't want me anymore..." Jane is crying and hugging Luca tightly as if she is afraid

he would run away.

Purr ~ Purr ~ finally before Jane stops crying, her stomach uncontrollably growling first.

"Silly girl, you're hungry. Have something to eat first!" Luca says tenderly to Jane. Now it seems that he

doesn't hate the little girl in front of him, but treats her like his younger sister and only has the idea of

wanting to take care of her, not loving her.
