Chapter 1499

“You’re so good to her.

”

Stella and Luka glanced over, spotting Debora right in front of them.

Stella wanted to clear things up, but Debora ignored her, focusing on Luka.

“Remember what I said when we first met? Now that you’re famous, you’ve got more options, huh?”

“It’s not like that…” Stella tried to explain.

But Luka cut her off.

“You head upstairs.

”

“But…” Stella hesitated, glancing at Debora.

“It’s cool.

This is between us.

Just tell Luther I’ll be late.

Don’t hold everyone up for me,” Luka said gently.

After a moment of worry, Stella nodded and headed upstairs.

Luka watched her go, then turned to Debora.

“Quit stirring up trouble,” he warned.

“We’ve been through this.

You chose a different path.

We can’t go back.

”

Debora’s eyes welled up instantly.

“Luka, have you forgotten what we had?”

Luka stayed silent.

“What if I admit I was wrong?” Debora’s emotions spilled out.

“I messed up before.

After leaving you, I realized my mistake.

I can’t live without you.

”

There was still no response from Luka.

He stared at Debora for a moment, then turned and stepped into the elevator.

Watching him leave, Debora’s heart sank.

Resentment flickered in her eyes.

She squeezed her fists tight, not even feeling the nails digging into her palms.

As years passed, her life kept spiraling downward, and she felt the weight of regret.

Thoughts of her time with Luka often crossed her mind, but back then, she didn’t appreciate him.

Once she snapped out of it, she figured they could easily pick up where they left off, despite years apart.

But Luka’s distant attitude caught her off guard.

It was like his love vanished into thin air.

How could this happen?

Back then, Luka loved her fiercely.

Even if he was hurt when they broke up, that anger should’ve faded by now.

She wouldn’t give up.

Debora wiped her tears, a determined smile breaking through.
