Chapter 256
His words piqued Lucy's curiosity. What did he mean by that?
"Well, go ahead. Tell me where this birthmark is supposed to be on my body."
She looked at him keenly.
She was simply curious about this so-called birthmark. She knew her body well, and there was hardly anything worth noticing. Her skin was smooth and unblemished with barely any moles.
"Our family members all have a birthmark on our lower back. Every single one of us. The birthmark resembles a feather. It's usually invisible, and it only appears when we're emotionally stimulated."
Theodore felt somewhat apprehensive when he explained it to Lucy. He was not even entirely sure if she was his sister, but in order to make her believe him, he felt compelled to tell her.
Since the birthmark only appeared when one was emotionally stimulated, there was no way to prove that what he said was false.
Evidently, Lucy thought the same. She sneered, "So, you're saying that the birthmark will only show when I'm emotionally stimulated? How stimulated would I have to be, then? The fact that the birthmark isn't visible makes it an awfully convenient lie.
"Plus, what kind of birthmark only shows up when someone is emotionally stimulated? Do I look like a three-year-old to you? What a cliche. I've only seen these kinds of plots in novels."
The more she spoke, the more irritated she felt. As of right now, she was certain that the man in front of her was playing games.
After her rant, Lucy had no intention of engaging with him any longer. She began to pack up her things and leave.
Theodore noticed her anger and
annoyance, and his mind was
racing. She had inadvertently reminded him of the most effective way for their family to identify each other by the appearance of the birthmark.
Theoretically, Lucy's current emotional state was enough for the birthmark to manifest on her lower back. If she were truly his long-lost sister, that
was.
"Miss, I understand that what I said.
is hard to believe, but seeing how worked up you are right now, the up you are right now, the
birthmark should have appeared on your lower back if you're indeed my long lost sister. You just have to lift up your top to check." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
It was indeed a good idea. All Lucy had to do to rid herself of this weirdo was lift her shirt.
However, why should Lucy go along with all this? The man started off with a nonsensical monologue and asked for her DNA. Now, he even suggested that she lift her top.
Who did he think he was? Even Matthew did not disrespect her like that after she lost her memory!
The more Lucy thought about it, the angrier she became. Was it just her imagination, or was her lower back starting to heat up?
Lucy had no time to dwell on the strange sensation. She slammed her hand on the table, ignoring the gazes from the people around her.
"Sir, please don't cross the line.
are?
We've only just met. Don't you realize how rude your requests are Before coming to Charleston, I heard that everyone here was a true gentleman, but it seems that's not entirely true-especially with people like you around."
