But before she could even begin to explain herself, Lucinda grabbed her suitcase and gave one last look to the man she used to love.
“Don’t forget, I was the one who walked away from you, not the other way around! I no longer want you, and frankly, you don’t deserve me!”
With that, Lucinda left.
Nathaniel scrunched up his face, completely baffled. Did Lucinda really just say she was the one dumping him because he wasn’t good enough for her?
He was about to catch up to her and talk to her when a hand grabbed him from behind, gripping his pants tightly.
“Nate… I was wrong.”
Eleanor looked miserable as she collapsed onto the floor, weakly sobbing and admitting her mistake.
“I was just scared… Scared that in the three years I’m away, you’ll fall in love with her. I’m afraid that you’ll leave me.”
Nathaniel frowned as he looked down at Eleanor’s slightly swollen cheek. He felt helpless as he helped her up and spoke in a softer tone.
“I promised to marry you, remember? Ending my marriage with her was only a matter of time. You’re just being worried for nothing.”
Eleanor clutched his sleeve and pouted.
“It’s my fault, but I didn’t mean to hurt anyone. I just went about it the wrong way. Nate…
Please find it in your heart to forgive me!”
He didn’t scold her, which was a relief to Eleanor. She leaned into him, revealing her snow-white shoulders, hoping to win him back over.
But Nathaniel pushed her away with a scowl on his face.
“Nate!”
Eleanor’s eyes were full of tears and she looked at him with irritation. Why did he refuse to touch her?
She couldn’t come to terms with it.

He could sleep with Lucinda last night, but he wouldn’t even touch her? It didn’t make any sense.
“Stop!”
Nathaniel grabbed her hand and glared at her coldly.
“Ellie, I never thought you’d stoop so low and use such nasty words against her. You used to be so sweet and innocent.”
Eleanor was taken aback, realizing she had really pushed him too far this time.
Nathaniel had his own set of values and limits, and when she crossed them, he would distance himself even further.
