He Finally Gave Up His Childhood Sweetheart Chapter 19
A faint smile appeared on Lucian’s face.On a night near the end of his time studying abroad, he asked himself the very same question.Had he agreed to be with Layla simply because she treated him well?Yes and no. Her kindness had only been the most basic requirement. What truly moved him was something he once asked her.“Do you believe people have past lives and future lives?”She did not answer him directly. Instead, she took his hand.“If you say they do, then I believe you. Lucian, I used to think there were so many secrets about you. Like how you understand things you’ve never even been exposed to, or how you have a vision and sense of strategy far beyond what anyone in this era should have. But sometimes, I also find myself feeling sorry for you.“I don’t care whether you’re simple or complicated, whether you’re hiding some great secret. What matters to me is whether you’ve been eating properly, whether you’ve grown during your time abroad, and whether you’ve finally mana

Bianca moved her lips, but not a single word came out.She had none of those things.For the past year, all she could do was sit alone in the dead of night, holding the things Lucian once gave her and letting herself remember.She vaguely remembered how, after graduating from high school, he refused to go to the countryside, swearing that he would stay by her side.She also remembered the time she came down with a fever and he ignored all the gossip to sit beside her bed at the local clinic.Moreover, she remembered when she carelessly lost an important order and her mother punished her for it. Lucian stepped in front of her without hesitation.“Mrs. Rose, Bianca didn’t do it on purpose. If you’re angry, take it out on me instead.”They had known each other for so many years. Yet she did nothing but hurt him and trample on the sincerity of his feelings throughout all those years.Now that he was trying to accept someone new, she should have been happy for him.“Then I wish you

Bianca did not refuse. As the car ventured farther and farther into the outskirts, the tension in her mind tightened with every mile.When they finally arrived at that run‑down mountain village, Bianca could not bring herself to get out of the car.Her lips were pressed into a thin line, her face frighteningly pale.“Lucian, why did you bring me here?”Lucian could not quite explain it himself.He simply got out and walked ahead. “Actually, a lot of the people here were sent into the mountains against their will. In my previous life, I wanted to run away, but how far could I possibly get with both my legs broken? And someone even beat me so badly that I lost the hearing in my right ear…”Every word felt like a knife driven straight into Bianca’s heart.She stood there rooted to the spot, like an ancient tree with roots buried deep in the earth, paralyzed by the weight of her own conscience.“Lucian, I…”“You don’t have to say anything. I just wanted someone I could tell all of

Bianca remained silent for a long time. At last, almost pleadingly, she reached out and caught the edge of his sleeve.“I’m sorry for what I did. But, Lucian, my parents are getting old. Please don’t keep hurting them because of me…”Lucian looked at her deeply before letting out a soft chuckle.“I used to think you had a heart of steel. I never realized you could actually worry about your parents. Bianca, I’m not you. I could never become someone as ruthless as you. As for whether the Rose family can hold on to what it has left, that’s up to you.”He took the things she had given him and threw them into the trash right in front of her.Bianca bent down and gathered them up, feeling as though her own heart had shattered along with them.She watched him from behind until he was almost out of sight. Only then could she no longer hold back her tears.“Lucian, is destroying me and the Rose family your greatest wish in this life?”Lucian did not turn around. Silently, deep within hi

Their eyes met, neither willing to yield. In the end, Bianca shot Layla a vicious glare.“I don’t have time to waste here with you. Layla, you don’t know Lucian at all. Even if he refuses to accept me, he’ll never accept you.”Layla slowly rubbed her fingers together. “Is that so?”There had been plenty of obstacles on her way to where she was now. When she had been penniless and had neither connections nor technical expertise, she found a way through every one of them.As for Lucian, she was determined to have him.Over the next few days, the two women turned Lucian’s daily life into an unspoken competition.Whenever he went to class, they appeared in the classroom one after another, drawing curious glances from everyone around them.Also, when he went to the library, they coincidentally showed up with excuses ready, one bringing him a cup of warm milk, the other a cup of hot coffee.Moreover, when he went to visit the church, both women waited at the exit, each insisting on d

Lucian’s mind was filled with questions. He asked, “Why would Ms. Jacobs come all the way here?”Layla let out a soft laugh and shook her head.“Lucian, you really don’t know me very well. I studied here years ago. I am also in charge of arranging study‑abroad placements for students from this university. Their anniversary celebration happens to be coming up, so I came to discuss a potential partnership.”Lucian nodded. He had no intention of saying anything more, but before he could leave, Layla caught him by the arm.“Lucian, are you not even curious about what’s happening back home? It’s very difficult for Bianca to get permission to come abroad. If she really manages to find a way to come all this way just to see you, would you forgive her?”The bluntness of the question caught Lucian off guard.“Ms. Jacobs, that’s a private matter. Don’t you think you are interfering a little too much…”The moment he finished speaking, Layla laughed. “I suppose I am. So, Lucian, let me make
