NovelEnglishLucas raised an eyebrow, his thin lips curling into a smirk. "I thought you would like it." Fed up with him, I had no patience and asked, "What's the matter?" His brow furrowed slightly, showing some displeasure, but it lasted only a moment. He looked at me and said, "Without Cotton and Candy to keep you company, | was afraid you'd get bored all alone. So, | came to see you.
Do you really despise me this much, Yvette?" Not wanting to look at his annoying face, | lowered my gaze to the ground and replied indifferently, "Lucas, if you're enjoying your life too much and need to vent some frustration, | can accommodate you." | expected him to explode, but to my surprise, he suddenly chuckled after a while. He got up, walked over to me, and crouched down in front of me. He tilted his head as he looked at me and said, "No need to rush, Yvette. Let's take it slow. People change over time." | did not understand the meaning behind his words and looked at him with a puzzled frown.
He did not continue speaking at first. Then, he narrowed his eyes and said, "I came here today to share some good news with you. Becker sent a message—Alice is pregnant." He said these words in a peculiar tone. | furrowed my brow while looking at him, but after a few seconds, | deciphered a different message from his mocking black eyes. Alice was pregnant? It had nothing to do with me, but he mentioned it specifically for me to hear. That meant it was related to Idris.

| suddenly remembered what happened on New Year's Eve, and my heart sank. A sense of foreboding washed over me. Alice was pregnant with Idris’ child? Lucas seemed to notice my reaction and leisurely enjoyed my expression. He spoke with vivid emotion on his handsome face. "Yvette, do you think Idris will marry Alice? | mean, the woman is carrying his child, and he's so responsible. He should give her a proper status, right?" This man knew how to inflict pain, and each word was like a deadly blade. My heart felt heavy as | grew more disgusted by the look in his eyes. | stared at him and sneered. "Lucas, did you come here just to tell me this? Just to see the pain on the faces of me and Idris, two people in love, torn apart by you? Even if Idris marries Alice, what of it? Do you want me to resent him? Or do you want me to stop missing him? Hah..." | continued to mock him, looking at him with a scornful smile. "You'll be thoroughly disappointed. Let me make it clear right now. | won't resent Idris, and | won't diminish my trust in him. I love him, so I believe in any choice he makes. | believe none of this is what he truly wants. | understand all the constraints he's under. If | can't spend my life with him, | hope more than anyone that he'll find someone to spend the rest of his life with instead.
Lucas, a person like you may never understand what love is." "Yvette Scott!" Lucas suddenly stood up and grabbed my neck. Perhaps | had struck a nerve as his eyes turned bloodshot, and he glared at me intensely.
Over these days, | had stopped fearing him. Even with my throat being constricted, | did not struggle. | instinctively gripped his hand, staring at him coldly as | said with a hoarse voice, "What? Did | say something so wrong to upset you this much?" Visit english.net to read full content.
