Lucas Hughes slowly, bit by bit, reached out and tentatively embraced Chloe Simpson. Seeing that she didn't refuse, he tightened his grip and pulled her forcefully into his arms.
In truth, Chloe truly didn't know how to refuse.
"Lucas, this isn't your fault. It's all my fault. Even if it was fate's cruel humor, I was the one who ended up climbing into Alexander Johnson's bed that night. You can't blame yourself, I…"
She was already completely moved by Lucas's words, to the point where she was a complete mess, especially since Lucas spoke with such deep emotion and even a choking voice.
Moreover, she felt an even stronger sense of guilt, an ever-increasing mountain of self-blame.
Seeing Lucas's immense love for her, and then thinking of the uncontainable pleasure and desire she had felt under Alexander Johnson, her heart ached even more for Lucas.
