Chapter 58

Chapter 58 508 Harley said unhappily, “Lucas, I know you can’t accept Maddie’s death, but you have to face the truth sooner or later. You can’t be so selfish. Maddie’s death has nothing to do with Winnie. Do you want to deprive Winnie of her happiness?”

Lucas took a deep breath.

No.

It was not that he didn’t want Winslet to be happy.

However, Winslet had become different from before.

He wondered why no one in the family could see that.

Lucas glanced at Winslet and said, “You know it”

“Lucas...” Winslet’s heart skipped a beat. She bit her lip and said. “...”

Her tears were brimming in her eyes.

Lucas would have been heartbroken if it were before.

But now, he had his doubts.

He had thought a kind girl like Winslet couldn’t be so cold–blooded and selfish.

In the past, Lucas was overwhelmed by the idea of defending Winslet With Madeline’s negative image, Winslet only seemed pitiful and wronged Now that he thought about it, he wondered if Madeline had actually done anything to Winslet.

Everything he had heard was just Winslet’s account.

“Lucas, I’m sorry.” Winslet got up. I know it’s my fault. I insisted on going to the reservoir. If it weren’t for me. Maddie would have been fine. I have nightmares every night, and I begged for Maddie’s forgiveness in my dreams. How I wish I were the one who died.” Winslet said sincerely, “Please don’t misunderstand me. I feel guiltier and blame myself more than anyone else for Maddie’s death Harley couldn’t stand it anymore. A trace of anger spread across his gentle face.

That’s enough, Lucas. You feel guilty toward Maddie, but you can’t blame Winnie for your mistake.”

Lucas shook his head and strode away.

He didn’t want to hear it He admitted he was guilty, but it didn’t mean that others were not guilty.

He would never forgive himself.

However, he really couldn’t see anyone else and continued to live as if nothing had happened.

Lucas walked out of the house and went all the way to the city center.

He sat in the café at the gate of Acocester University.

It was already noon.

He looked at the endless stream of freshmen and held a phone in his hand. He sent a lot of messages to Madeline last night.

However, she might never be able to see him repentance anymore.

“Hello, a cup of sugar–free black coffee.” A cold voice sounded.

Lucas sat on the couch by the window. When he heard that, he was shocked and turned to look at the bar counter.

He uwa a girl wearing a shirt and a light–colored skirt standing there to make payment Chapter 33 Her back was dimi.

She wore a watch on her wrist.

He knew about that watch because he wanted to buy it for Winslet. It was 20,000 dollars.

The light in Lucas‘ eyes dimmed. He found that person’s voice really similar to Madeline’s.

However, Madeline couldn’t afford such branded pieces of clothing or an expensive watch, Lucas saw the person turn around.

heavier.

His breathing suddenly became a little b He stood up immediately and took a few steps over. “Maddie...”

He couldn’t wait to see if she was warm, breathing, and a living person or if she was a figment of his imagination. “Maddie!”

“Stop” A bodyguard in black grabbed Lucas coldly. “Who are you? Stay away from Ms. Houghton”

As a bodyguard, Ander immediately became alert when he saw that pathetic–looking man.

Madeline raised her eyebrows and saw the haggard Lucas.

She thought. This is weird! What is he doing here at Acocester University!”

Clarity suddenly washed over Madeline. She mused, “Did he accompany Winslet to school? He must really care for Winslet”

She said with a faint smile, “Ander, don’t be nervous. He just mistook me for someone else.”

“Ms. Houghton, there are many bad guys outside. Boss has instructed me to protect you at all times.”

Ander didn’t step aside and protected Madeline seriously.

Madeline said helplessly, “Sorry, my bodyguards are indifferent and don’t listen to me very much. Make yourself comfortable.”

She sat down by the window as she spoke.

Lucas turned to look at Madeline.

He thought, “They look so alike. The resemblance is uncanny “Maddie” Lucas followed her in desperation. “I know it was my fault. You won’t forgive and recognize me again. I’m sorry. I beg you to give me a chance. I’ll change. I will never make you sad again”

Lucas had always been prideful.

But this time, he behaved too humbly.

“I’m satisfied just to see you alive. He whimpered, “As long as you can forgive me, I’m willing to do everything you ask of me...

Madeline leaned against the couch with a troubled expression.

“Sorry. She twirled her curly hair with her delicate hand. “I don’t understand what you are talking about. If you’re trying to get close to me, what you’re doing is a little weird.”

Her attitude was a little arrogant Lucas said with red eyes, “Maddie, I really regret it. I’ve been reflecting on myself every day these days... I didn’t know you were Lynn. If I had known, I wouldn’t have treated you like that. I was no different from a beast!”

He clenched his fists and was a little emotional, on the verge of an emotional breakdown. “Please don’t treat me as as a stranger..

Many people in the surroundings were puzzled by his behavior.

“What’s w wrong with this man?

“I don’t know. Is he asking for forgivenessť“

“Honestly, this man is quite handsome and humble, Chapter 38 “Tift! His repenting act is no longer convincing at this age and time. Look how aloof the girl is! We can all learn a thing or two from her! Anyone is capable of begging for forgiveness. That’s worthless!”

There was a lot of discussion around.

Madeline was annoyed.

The waiter came over with coffee and said, “Miss, your coffee.”

Madeline nodded.

u talk to me?”

Lucas looked at her and said, “Maddie, please. I don’t mind if you won’t forgive me, but please don’t be so indifferent. Can you tal “Mister.” Madeline took a sip of coffee. The bitter taste permeated her mouth.

She frowned in slight annoyance. “I told you that you misunderstood me for someone else. I don’t know you, so how can I talk to you?”

“No. You’re deliberately refusing to recognize me. Lucas looked a little miserable. “I’m guilty. It is only right if you don’t wish to be acquainted with me. It’s the Larson family who owes you. You have suffered too much injustice in the Larson family. He lowered his head and asked, “How is your life outside? It must be much happier than at home, right?”

Madeline was stunned Ander rudely grabbed Lucas and said, “If you harass Ms. Houghton again, I won’t show you mercy. Get lost at once!”

Madeline looked up and saw Lucas being dragged out of the café.

Still, he didn’t give up and still wanted to reenter the cafe.

With Ander there, Lucas had no chance of getting close to Madeline.

Finally, he could only cry at Madeline through the window.

A deeply remorseful look spread across his handsome face From the shape of his mouth, it seemed he was repeating the words “I’m sorry.”

Madeline sneered. His late affection was as worthless as thrash.

“Ms. Houghton, do you want to go home?” Ander came over and asked. “The other bosses will be coming back from the capital to see you tonight, so I’m afraid we’ll have to depart earlier.”

Madeline put down the coffee cup in her hand and said, “I haven’t seen Caleb and the others for a long time.”

She smiled bitterly and said, “They must’ve already accumulated a lot of grudges against me.”
