With a hint of annoyance, he said to me,
"Sophie Wentworth, don't you understand? I pursued you only because you happened to fit my ideal type."
"Now Ivy is younger than you and more suitable, why shouldn't I be attracted to her?"
I cried into the ICU, but I still didn't want to believe that this love that attracted worldwide attention was fake.
So I endured the grievance and hoped day and night that he would come back.
I thought that no matter how much he played with others, I was the only one he truly loved.
After all, there is only one Sophie's Spire named after me.
But until two months ago, Lucas tore down my tower for Ivy.
I saw with my own eyes how obsessed he was with Ivy and going crazy in the fairy tale kingdom.
The look of interest on his face was exactly the same as when he first pursued me.
At that moment, I realized.
Lucas, never loved me.
As he said, to me, it is excitement, novelty, and the desire to conquer.
But it's not love.
He was always sober, and I was the only one who believed those sweet words that cost nothing.
Without reservation, he cut off all his retreat routes!
When I opened my phone, I saw the top trending search:
#The leisure area of the rich lady collapsed! Wentworth Group's president changed his mind, and the 100-meter-high tower collapsed!
Below, countless Netizens left passionate messages:
[I knew this day would come. How can love come from such a wealthy family? Lucas pursued Sophie so high-profile at the beginning, but now he just abandons her! ]
[Yeah, it's so funny. Sophie wanted to post 800 status updates a day to show her love for Lucas. Now she must be so angry seeing Lucas pampering others like this, right? ]
[If I were her, I would be too ashamed to live in this world. Guess how long it will take Lucas to divorce her? ]
Tears welled up in my eyes.
With trembling hands, I dialed a phone call——
"Does the bet we made ten years ago still count? If I lose, come and marry me in seven days..."
Alexander Ford on the other end of the phone was stunned.
Then he said with a hint of suppressed ecstasy,
"Okay, Sophie, our bet is valid forever. As long as you come back, I will always be here."
"Wait for me to pick you up in seven days."
The call was quickly hung up, and I couldn't help but think of the time when I made a bet with Alexander that Lucas was sincere.
No matter how much time has passed, he will always be faithful to me.
But now, I have been defeated miserably.
After sitting there all night, Lucas finally came back the next morning.
He looked at me in such a miserable state as if I had lost my soul, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
But more of it is irritability.
"Sophie, even though I didn't spend the tenth anniversary with you, didn't I give you a check as compensation? Why do you always have to act like you're being pitiful?"
Feeling distressed?
I was in a trance for a moment.
For Lucas in the past, as long as I shed tears, he would want to pick the stars and the moon for me.
One time, in order to cheer me up, he even put down his airs and used drones all over the city to write a sentence in the sky:
"I was wrong, Sophie baby, don't hold it against me."
But that was only in the past.
Later, when I cried in front of him, he pushed me away impatiently, frowned and said,
"Sophie, are you annoying? You just cry all day long! I've already given you a rich wife's life, isn't it just having an affair? Which man in the industry doesn't do this?"
"I thought you were gentle and sensible, but I didn't expect you to be so unreasonable!"
The moment when my only weapon, tears, has become ineffective.
