Chapter 1391

She wasn't just laughing at Eugene. She was laughing at herself.

Time and again, she had trusted the wrong person. "Trust isn't something that's just given. It's something you earn. Just go. There's no reason for you to be down on one knee in front of me. Don't do this. It doesn't mean anything." "Lydia!" Eugene reached out again, desperately gripping the hem of her coat. He held on tightly, not daring to let go for even a second, fearing that if he loosened his grip, he would lose her forever.

Eugene was left holding nothing but the coat, watching helplessly as Lydia walked away with her parents. Mrs. Fay glanced back several times, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she just picked up her pace and disappeared with Lydia from his sight. Once they were home, Lydia didn't bring up Eugene. Instead, she dove straight into work. "Mom, Dad, I'd like to start at the company this afternoon. Do you have my position sorted out?"

Mr. Fay waved a hand. "There's no need to rush. Take a couple of days to rest at home first." Although he had arranged everything, he found himself hesitating at the last moment, reluctant to see her jump into the daily grind.
