Chapter 105
However, the happiness on his face vanished. Instead, a look of disapproval appeared on his face. "How could he do that? You're such a nice woman."
Lucy brushed it off. "It's okay. He's just a douche. I'm glad I'm not with him anymore. I have a new life now, so you don't have to comfort me."
Cillian returned to a neutral expression. It was better for her to forget Timothy. There was no need for her to be thinking about her ex anyway. "I'm married now, so what can he do?"
That was the sound of Cillian's heart shattering.
Cillian was stupefied. Fucking hell!
Did Lucy just say that she was married?
Did he hear that right? Lucy had a husband?
He needed a moment.
Cillian's brain was still recovering from the shock. His new hope for love came crumbling down again.
What the hell was this?
Cillian's features were twisted in frustration, causing Lucy to be concerned as she noticed his unusual expression.
"What's wrong?"
Cillian immediately recomposed himself, but he was still hurting inside.
"Nothing, please continue."
Lucy sighed. "Actually, my husband and I had quite a dramatic first encounter.
"Sometimes, I feel like my husband just randomly chose someone on the streets to marry. He's such an outstanding person. I don't know what he sees in me!"
Hearing her words, Cillian blurted, "Everything about you is excellent, Lucy. How can you look down on yourself like that?"
Lucy was speechless. "What about
me is so excellent? I just studied abroad and came back to start my own business. After setting it up, did such a bad job at managing it that my husband had to invest in my company.
"We agreed that it was just an initial investment. If things don't go well, I have to agree to a condition he sets, but I still don't know what he means by that. I'm not even that pretty, and I don't have any assets.
"My family background isn't compatible with his either. His mother doesn't approve of me being his wife."
Thinking back at what Gabriella said just now, Lucy was even more depressed. "Someone like me..."
The more Cillian listened, the more uncomfortable he felt. Was Lucy being serious when she said that she was not that pretty?Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Her complexion was as radiant as a
lily, and her demeanor was
effortlessly pure and graceful. She t
was the woman of every man's dreams! Why would she think that she was not attractive? How was she not an asset when she studied abroad?
Was she for real? He remembered that Lucy went abroad to study at Cambridge. How could a top student from Cambridge be considered ordinary?
Even if the company she set up was not doing well, it must have been someone else's fault. He had seen what Lucy was capable of since their freshman year. How could she fail at managing her company?
However, Cillian could not say those words out loud.
If he said all of that, Lucy would get suspicious of him.
She would question how he knew so much about her. If she grew wary of him, she would keep her distance. It had been so long since he saw the girl he liked, so he wanted to make it last a little longer.
Even if she was married...
Admiring her from a distance without meddling in their relationship should not be a problem, right?
After making up his mind, he stumbled over his words as he tried to tell her, "Lucy, you're underestimating yourself. You have many great qualities..."
