Chapter 44 An Evening Dress Worth Millions

• Among everything Lucas said, Iris heard one phrase particularly clearly—‘I’ll give you a chance’. What does he mean by ‘I’ll give you a chance’? That makes it sound as if I desperately wanted to be his girlfriend. This is supposed to be a beautiful occasion. But, for some reason, it feels disgusting instead when those words came out of this man’s mouth.
• “Thank you, Young Master Lucas. I’m flattered by your intentions. Unfortunately, I am not worthy of being your girlfriend. After all, I’m just an ordinary citizen. I can’t match up to your status.” Iris knew that she had never been a particularly lucky girl—such things would never happen to her. Therefore, she always faced the truth and did not try to avoid reality when it came to Lucas.
• “Why? Do you not believe me?” Lucas initially thought that she would happily accept his proposal. Contrary to his expectations, she turned him down instead. There was truly no such precedent in his life. As such, his expression was undeniably surly at the moment.
