“I’m sorry,” said Lucas.

Natasha listened to Lucas, opposite her, apologized, her face betraying no

emotion.

It was ironic. This was the only one that felt truly sincere, of all the times Lucas had apologized to her. The reason was that he himself had finally experienced what it felt like to have his position usurped.

“Natasha!” Lucas grabbed Natasha’s wrist as she turned to leave, his eyes filled with pain. “If… if I had realized my mistake sooner, would we not be in this situation today?”

Natasha pulled her hand free, her expression calm. “No. Our ending would only ever be a breakup.”

She looked at Lucas, who was surprised. “Our problem wasn’t whether you understood my situation at that time. It was that your needs always came before mine. You wanted a good reputation, to be a perfectly good person, to maintain dignity, and to conform to societal norms. Every single one of those things was more important than loving me.”

She smiled, thinking of the scene she had just witnessed. “Don’t act as if you can’t live without me. Lucas, is it so hard to admit your greed?”

While claiming to love her, he kept going on blind dates to solidify his status. First, there was Esther, and today, another young lady from an unknown family.

He was smarter this time. He didn’t put on such airs as he did with Esther.

A man’s regret is worth nothing.

“No, I just…” said Lucas,

He couldn’t articulate it. Was he supposed to say he just wanted to climb higher so he could take Natasha back when they broke up?

Natasha shrugged. “I’ll ask you this: If we were still together today, but Wyatt appeared, and I still cut ties with the Clark family, and your father asked you to

Lucas fell silent.

Lucas, as a teenager, would have directly chosen Natasha, but could an adult Lucas, as an adult, still give the same answer with a clear conscience?
