Chapter 1377

"Lydia, do you really not feel anything for me? Not even a little?" Eugene asked, still clinging to a thread of hope. "Just a little, that's all I'm asking."

He had tried so hard, done everything he could, and still, it was as if he couldn't melt Lydia's heart.

"And we've already been involved. I want to take responsibility for that. I'm not trying to play around. Lydia, please think this over carefully. We slept together!"

"Do you hear yourself right now?" Lydia sighed, her patience running thin. The more he clung to her, the more determined she felt. It was clear they couldn't even remain friends.

With a final attempt at patience, she said, "That night is behind us, Eugene. Stop bringing it up. According to your logic, since I have a child with Quincy, he and I should be bound together forever. But that's just not how things work." Eugene clenched his fists, his jaw tightening. "Lydia, don't say things just to push my buttons."

The thought of Lydia and Quincy reconciling made Eugene feel physically ill.

Lydia looked at him calmly. "I'm not trying to provoke you. I'm just making a point. You should go now, and please don't keep knocking on my door like that. I don't want a repeat of what just happened."
