I appeared in front of everyone in wet clothes, looking very embarrassed. Lucas deliberately quickened his pace to distance himself from me, as if he was afraid of having anything to do with me. Chelsea pouted when she saw me, looking a little unhappy. I heard Lucas whispered to comfort her: "I don't feel sorry for her, I just want to embarrass her. I want everyone to know that without me, she is living a life worse than a dog."

Facing the doubtful and mocking eyes around me, my heart was calm. Perhaps it was because I had been heartbroken so many times that I could no longer feel it. I raised my hand to ask the waiter for a blanket, sat on the sofa and watched people coming and going.

Just then, Mavis called me. She told me that she had contacted several companies for me and I was welcome to interview at any time. Before I hung up the phone, a hand suddenly rested on my shoulder. I turned my head and saw Lucas looking at me with a puzzled look.

"Who are you calling? What interview? Where are you going?" he asked.

I lied and said, "Advertising and sales."

Lucas 's frown gradually relaxed: "That's right. Your parents don't want you anymore, where else can you go? The rain outside has stopped, and there's nothing for you to do here, so go home first. When you get back, remember to wash my coat."

I didn't respond and threw Lucas ' coat on the sofa. Chelsea tilted her head and looked at me for a while, and insisted on taking Lucas with her to send me off. When I walked to the side of the road, she suddenly stretched out her foot and tripped me. My body fell uncontrollably into the rose bushes on the side of the road.

“——!” I exclaimed.

Lucas tried to reach out and pull me, but Chelsea screamed, and he immediately turned around and protected her behind him. I fell into a thorny bush, and the sharp thorns pierced my body. The mud on the ground magnified my embarrassment.

I struggled to get up, just in time to see Lucas bending down to wipe the water stains on Chelsea's shoes with a gentle look on his face. He glanced at me, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

"Ella , are you okay... I'll take you to the hospital." He said.

" Brother Lucas ." Chelsea's eyes were red, "You promised to accompany me today. Today is our anniversary of holding hands. How could you leave me alone?"

Lucas glanced between us, looking hesitant.

"I can go to the hospital by myself. It's not good for you to leave early since you are the boss." I said.

He breathed a sigh of relief as if a great burden had been lifted from his shoulders: "Then be careful. I'll bring you your favorite pineapple cake when I get home."

Pineapple cakes are Chelsea's favorite. But at this point, there is no point in refutation. Anyway, no matter when, I am always the one who is abandoned and sacrificed. Instead of foolishly waiting for love that does not belong to me, it is better to be sensible and leave early.
