Chapter 161: She Returned The Ring And Broke Up With Him


    A went downstairs and got into Lucas’ car, hurriedly leaving thepany.He drove her back to her


    original apartment.


    "L."


    Lucas had prepared two cups of tea, cing them on the table.


    They had been sitting on the sofa for over ten minutes but neither of them had uttered a word.  A


    had no clue what he wanted to talk to her about.


    Was it about their past or their future together? She just couldn''t wrap her head around it.


    Lucas put down his teacup and sat next to her.


    "What happened today was nothing but an unfortunate misunderstanding," he remarked and put his


    hand on hers.


    She looked up at him.


    He said that she had misunderstood the incident earlier today.


    But who on earth would''ve been mistaken? Haley was certainly pregnant, and Lucas was definitely the


    father.


    And he still insisted that it was a mistake? Was it just her imagination or was she really wrong?


    ‘No, that''s impossible"


    A could tell from Haley''s eyes just how much she loved Lucas.


    That woman probably loved him so much that she was willing to do anything for him, including giving


    birth to their child, even if they didn''t end up together.


    "Lucas, you''ve been with her for a long time, haven''t you?"


    A withdrew her hand and ced it on herp.


    She might''ve slept with Lucas for once after she was drunk, but that didn''t necessarily mean they''d be


    together forever, but Haley''s case was different.  For a moment, he was reluctant to speak.


    ''Maybe I have known her for a long time?’ Lucas nodded.


    "I''ve known her for more than ten years."  He and Haley grew up together.


    Back when he was under Tatum''s wing, he had an inhuman life.


    At that time, he barely had anything to eat, he didn''t have enough clothes to wear, and he couldn''t have


    enough sleep.


    The only person that stuck by him through it all was Haley.  Lucas had lost his parents and his family.


    From the heir of the Collins family, he turned into an orphan living under someone else''s roof.


    Every misfortune he endured was caused by Brian, so he wanted to take vengeance upon him.He


    wanted him to give back everything that belonged to him.


    "You never even mentioned Haley''s name to me once." A had never asked him about his past.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    From time to time, he would tell her about his childhood and youth, but he never mentioned anything


    about Haley.


    "That''s because I don''t want you to misunderstand me.I''ve always known that Haley liked me, but I


    never liked her back.I''ve always thought of her as my sister,"


    Lucas exined in a hurry.


    He knew that A must''ve misunderstood him.


    Besides, it was obvious that Haley wanted to make her think that she had a rtionship with Lucas.


    On top of that, he knew that Haley had sent spies to keep an eye on him.


    But he couldn''t do anything to stop her.


    Tatum was the man who raised him, and Haley was his closest confidante.


    However, that didn''t mean she was the one he loved the most.


    Lucas had thought that he would live in hatred for the rest of his life.


    When he heard that Brian had gotten married, he sent people to investigate it.


    He paid special attention to what had happened in Molly and Toby''s wedding.


    A happened to be there, and theirter frequent interactions made Lucas fall in love with her.


    Because of her, he had a change of heart.


    He decided that after he had gotten his revenge, he would leave everything behind for A.


    But before he could seed with his ns for revenge, she almost lost her life because of Tatum.


    It was also because of this very reason that Lucas decided to cast aside his hatred and take her far


    away from everyone that could hurt her.  A stared at him intently.


    "Have you ever considered that you lied to me, not because you were afraid that I would


    misunderstand you, but because you couldn''t understand yourself?" She told Lucas the naked truth.


    How much love was there actually between them? During the first year in Italy, she had a miserable


    life, fighting against the drug addiction, and then when she recovered, all of her attention was focused


    on designing.


    Their bond wasn''t that strong.


    And they got engaged just because they had slept with each other after she got so drunk that night.


    Was it fair for her to make him take responsibility for her own blunder? She wasn''t that kind of person.


    And so, ending it now would be the better course of action.


    "No! I don''t love her! I just think of her as my sister," Lucas blurted out.


    A took out the ring from her bag, putting it on the tea table.


    "Do you remember what I said when we bought this ring together? If one day, you find a more suitable


    lover, you can tell me, and I would set you free."


    "L, I''m telling you, it''s impossible for me to fall in love with Haley!"


    Lucas knew that she wanted to get out of their rtionship, but he hadn''t given up yet.Why would she


    do that? Did she really not love him? Or had she decided to get back together with Brian?


    "Miss Green is pregnant," A remarked.


    It was a fact, and they all knew that.


    "But I won''t take responsibility for it.She was the one who set me up that night.And then I mistook her


    as you, so I had sex with her.I never imagined she''d get pregnant."


    It was something that was beyond Lucas’ wildest imagination.


    A let out a sigh.


    "Even if it was just a mistake or an ident, she''s still pregnant with your child.Will you really just let


    her do this alone? Do you know how much a woman needs someone by her side when she''s


    pregnant?"


    She had gone through the same kind of loneliness.


    Back then, in order to protect her child, she chose to run away, but in the end, more people got


    involved and ended up getting hurt.


    And at the end of all that misery, she lost her child.She lost it.


    Tears streamed down A''s cheeks.


    Lucas didn''t think it all through.He never saw it from Haley''s point of view.


    All he wanted was to make A happy, and she was the only one he wanted to marry.


    But when she said those words as tears fell from her eyes, Lucas felt less of a man.


    It was terrible of him to consider not taking responsibility.


    ‘ls a mistake supposed to make me suffer for a lifetime? I don''t want that to happen!’


    "But I don''t love her.You''re the only one I love."


    Lucas pulled A into his arms, holding her so tight that it almost looked like he wanted to shackle her


    to his body.He truly hoped that they could never be separated again.


    Sadly, it was a misguided hope.


    A picked up the ring, cing it onto his palm.


    "Don’t hurt Miss Green anymore."


    With that, she stood up.Now that she had made herself clear, it was time for her to leave.


    Lucas embraced her again.


    "Please give me some time.I''ll solve this problem."


    "You''re going to solve it, you say? What are you nning to do? Are you going to ask her to get an


    abortion? Are you really willing to let an innocent life suffer because of your mistake? Don''t be


    heartless! Besides, I don''t deserve your love anymore because I''ve decided to be with Brian."


    In the end, she was left with no other choice but to mention Brian as an excuse.


    She thought that it was the right thing to do.
