Chapter 10
Lucas looked at me earnestly. “I’m telling you all this not to seek your sympathy, but to say that there has never been romantic love between Isabella and me.
“Perhaps during her depression, my care for her led to some confusion in her emotions, an increased dependence on me. But from now on, I will keep my distance. Harper, can you forgive me again?” His eyes sparkled with sincerity, and his lips curved with seriousness.
Suddenly, I felt a sense of relief. “Lucas, my decision to part ways with you wasn’t just because of
Isabella.
His gaze softened, his long lashes flickering. “I know. I never learned how to properly love someone. But is there really no chance for us in the future?”
I looked up and saw the sunshine was shining brightly.
“Lucas, do you know? Before I decided to pursue you, I had been secretly admiring you for two years.” His expression did not change, but there was a hint of shock in his eyes.
“I decided to attend Ansgas University to follow in your footsteps. During college, I joined activities to make myself more noticeable to you, hoping you would notice me.
“I am grateful for that admiration. It pushed me forward to become a better version of myself. But now things are different.
“Being with you brought happiness and joy, but more often than not, it was filled with disappointment. I couldn’t control my insecurities, my jealousy, our arguments.”
His voice was hoarse. “It’s all my fault.”
During this period, I had seen the changes in Lucas.
But I couldn’t help but think of the younger me, who suppressed her feelings and selflessly gave everything because of her admiration for him.
The two figures gradually overlapped in my mind,
I shook my head. “There’s no right or wrong. I just want to move on now. Lucas, will

After a long moment, he nodded gently.
I finally submitted my final design proposal.

Despite his attempts to convince me otherwise, I remained firm in pursuing my dream.
I wanted to open a flower shop.
It may not be big, but it would bring joy and warmth to others.
After packing my bags, I took one last look at the city..
It was good, but I wanted a different kind of life.

I shook my head as I lifted my luggage. “Please wish him well for me.”
Walking away, I heard Isabella call out, “Harper.”
I stopped.
She closed her eyes briefly. “I’m sorry. It was my fault.”
I returned to my hometown of Westin and opened the flower shop as planned.
The tourism industry in Westin had developed, and many tourists had come and gone. So, the flower shop business was pretty good.
During my leisure time, I picked up hobbies like knitting woolen dolls and crafting handmade flowers. I also joined the trend of live streaming.
I began to learn how to do live streaming.
On camera, my fingers moved deftly among the yarn.
Although the live streaming was not very popular, I was content.
After all, there was always one loyal viewer whenever I went live. I enjoyed interacting with this fan.
