Chapter 26
Casually CruelJessica burns it. Finally. Those sketch books that full of nothing but Luhan. To the burning thrash bin in front of her, she throws the books one by one. It’s kinda funny how a few days before it felt so hard for her to even think to do this. But now here she is doing everything she couldn’t imagine before with a blank face.
