Chapter 369 - Finally (2/2)

That man treated her so well. If he was in her shoes, he wouldn't choose himself, too. ”Haha…” He burst out laughing suddenly, slightly lifelessly and weakly, his shoulders shaking.

It serves him right. He was now lying in the bed he made. He finally knew the taste of remorse. It was really bitter.

However, was he willing to leave it like that?

He kept the box carefully back into his chest pocket. It belonged to her, and so he still wanted to return it to her. Even if she didn't want it, he still wished for it to be closer to her, unlike him who was no longer worthy of approaching her.

His body swayed slightly, but he still continued walking forwards stubbornly with heavy steps. The puddles of rainwater seeped into his leather shoes, making them lose their luster. His feet were soaked in water, and it was ice-cold.

He returned to his car and placed his hands on the steering wheel. The headlights lit up to reveal the empty road in front of him. A couple of cars passed by occasionally, but pedestrians were nowhere in sight. It was just a few minutes' journey, but no one would take such a long time through it like him.

Drive and head back home. This had already become part of his survival instinct. Without a goal or a purpose, it was all Chu Lui had. He was human, too, and would make mistakes, too; but his mistake was just too severe.

The rain was still falling when he got out of the car. He raised his head and let the raindrops hit his face. At last, he opened his eyes, which only held a deep black chasm.

That was Chu Lui's life now.

He opened the door and walked in. Upon seeing him, Li Manni tossed the pillow in her hands away in a hurry. ”Lui, you're back.” She rushed forwards and was bewildered when she saw his drenched clothes.

”Lui, what's wrong? You didn't bring an umbrella? Why are you so drenched?” Her fingers brushed against his hand, and she was aware of how cold his hand was. It was almost as cold as the clothes he was wearing, to the point where Li Manni thought he was going to freeze.

”It's fine,” Chu Lui said indifferently. ”I'm going to rest. Don't disturb me.” He halted and then walked towards the study room. He wasn't able to treat Li Manni like before. The nicer he treated her, the guiltier he felt towards that woman. He was supposed to suffer all these by himself, but he dished it out to the wrong person. Now, there was nothing he could do.

He closed the door and locked himself in the study room.

Li Manni stood in the living room, with her hand still in the air like a fool. She blinked, and tears rolled down instantly. Her face was deathly pale. Even her lips had lost color.

She put a hand over her mouth suddenly and dashed to the toilet. After a long time, she stood up weakly, her hand on her stomach. Could she be pregnant? She clenched her hands tightly without any of the happiness and joy she had wanted. If she really was pregnant, then the child must be Chu Lui's. The child they have been waiting for four years was finally here. Now, she wouldn't have to lose everything.
