Kapitel 525: Sealing A Simple Yet Endearing Promise

"It's still awkward between us but, maybe one day I can have a meal with my mother in peace."

By the time Lucas ended his story, night had fallen. The street lampposts basked the entire lake park with soft orange lights, chasing the darkness away.

Liliana and Lucas were not the only ones left at the lake park. Plenty of people were still there. Among them were joggers, cycles and even couples taking strolls under the moonlight.

Unable to hold back her joy, Liliana's smile deepened. The sparkles in her eyes were akin to the shimmers twinkling on the lake's surface. 

"That's still a good progress. As long as you don't feel forced to accept your mother's gesture, it'll be fine."

Liliana accepted the fact that she was not entirely aware of Lucas' predicament in his own family. She knew that his parents mistreated him but, the young man didn't really talk about it much.
