Chapter 1032

"I know I lied to you, but those were just white lies. Haven't we been happy these past two years?"

Chloe shook her head. "A lie is a lie, Lucas. You weren't protecting me-you were protecting yourself. You never once thought about what I wanted. You think I've been happy these last two years? I haven't. I keep having the same dream, over and over—a child crying, echoing in my head. On the outside, everything looks peaceful, but inside, I feel empty. You have no idea what it's like to not remember your own past. It's a hollow kind of loneliness. That's what I've been living with these two years. I've felt completely alone."

Her calmness made Lucas feel like he was looking at a stranger.

Lucas was stunned. All this time, he thought they were happy, content, safe. He never imagined Chloe felt lonely.

Chloe's voice stayed steady. This wasn't a snap decision-she'd spent three days thinking it through. Honestly, even if Lucas and Connor hadn't told her the truth today, she still wouldn't have stayed with Lucas.

"I'm an adult, Lucas. I'm responsible for my own future, and so are you. As for Aaron, I'm taking him with me."
