No longer in love) Chapter 17: A Final Goodbye
It was our last meeting.
Lucian asked me to see him off.
“When’s the wedding?”
“Next month.”
Lucian nodded, his lips trembling. At the car, he called out, his voice thick with emotion. Millie… be happy, always.”
His eyes glistened with unshed tears.
At that time, I didn’t understand it was a farewell. My gaze lingered only for a moment before I turned away.
A normal night, news of Lucian’s death appeared on television – a fatal complication from his accident. His final meeting flashed before my eyes. His car remained parked outside my house for a long time. What was he thinking, watching me leave? A wave of emotion washed over me. His death wouldn’t have brought me to tears. But why this final meeting? Why the plea for my happiness?
He’d calculated everything. He knew my capacity for empathy. His apology was a calculated move, designed to evoke guilt. My coldness towards him that day was intentional. It ensured a lingering sense of remorse now.
Tears streamed down my face.
Gu Yuan’s voice jolted me from my reverie. Tears
“Lucian… he’s dead.”
Gu Yuan knew he’d lost this battle this time. Lucian had been ruthless, to himself and, above all, to Millie.
