Chapter 364: Chapter 198 If the Person You Met First Was Me... (7 updates)_2

She tiptoed and kissed him on the lips, "I always keep my promises."

At six o’clock, she appeared punctually at Lucas Warren’s apartment door.

He had arranged for a candlelit dinner, and Faye Townsend was taken aback by the romantic setup when she walked in.

She laughed, put down her bag, and asked, "When did you prepare all this?"

"I started preparing on the way back. There’s a dish I made myself. Can you guess which one it is?"

Faye walked to the table and took a look, there were only two steaks, a salad, some pastries, and a few salt-baked shrimp.

She pointed at the vegetable salad, "This one, right?"

Lucas Warren raised his hand and affectionately ruffled her hair, "How did you guess so accurately?"

Faye found the affectionate gesture a bit awkward, but she didn’t show any sign of rejection, "How could a young master like you, who never touches housework, cook?

You’ve been served by others for so many years, so I bet besides simple dishes that only require pouring salad dressing and mixing, you can’t make anything else."

Lucas Warren shrugged speechlessly, "You’ve left me at a loss for words.

It seems I’ll have to learn a signature dish in the future.

Otherwise, you’ll look down on me again next time."

She smiled at him, "Let’s eat, I’m a bit hungry."

He helped her pull out the chair, they both sat down, and he poured her a glass of red wine. She unhesitatingly took a sip from the glass, "Wow, you’ve brought out a good bottle."

He laughed, "Aren’t you afraid I might have tampered with it?"

"No," she shook her head confidently and smiled.

"Why are you so confident in me? I’m somewhat flattered."

Faye said without hesitation, "I’ve known you for over ten years, you’ve never hurt me."

Lucas Warren lowered his eyes and smiled gently, "It seems you’ve always known how well I treat you."

"Yes, I know.

Do you remember, you once asked me if I was afraid of you.

In fact, I have never been afraid of you, I just... dared not get close to you.

Because I was afraid I might give you some wrong signals that could lead to misunderstandings.

I didn’t want things between us to become more complicated."

Lucas Warren gently swirled his glass, looking at her through the candlelight.

"Have you ever explained to Hunter about what happened back then?"

"Why should I explain? I didn’t do anything wrong."

Faye pressed her lips together, "Besides, if he’d thought it through, he would have understood some things on his own.

At the time, he was probably blinded by jealousy.

Also, at that time, because of Sebastian Sheldon, he seemed to be disgusted with me.

The more I tried to explain, the more confusing it became, but the innocent stay innocent."

After speaking, she began to cut the steak.

That night, she stayed at Lucas Warren’s apartment, and the two of them sat by the window, talking late into the night.

She told him about what she’d experienced alone abroad over the years.

She also mentioned some interesting stories about Darnley and Miya’s lives.

Lucas Warren didn’t speak much, but he kept listening to Faye’s words.

After a long while, Faye rubbed her forehead, "Am I talking too much?"

"No, I just want to hear you talk.

I’ve been surrounded by silence for too long, and hearing your voice beside me feels like a dream.

It also makes me feel... happy, at least it reminds me I still have a sense of existence in this world."

Faye looked at him, her eyes somewhat moved.

Actually, she always knew he was a pitiful person too.

"Faye, there’s something I always wanted to ask you. Back then, if you had met me first... would you have fallen in love with me first?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Faye was silent, holding her glass of red wine.

Her hand slightly swayed the glass, causing the red wine to ripple back and forth.

"Did I ask a hard-to-answer question?"

She pursed her lips and smiled, "No, it’s not that difficult to answer, I’m just... a bit worried."

"Don’t worry, I won’t go back on what I promised you."

She smiled, "Of course, you’re just as charming as Hunter, so if I had met you first, why wouldn’t I fall in love with you?"

He sighed lightly and smiled.

It wasn’t until she fell asleep in the rocking chair that he gently carried her to the bedroom, closed the door, and left.

The next day at noon, they went shopping for groceries together. Neither of them could cook, so they managed to make the worst meal of their lives.

Yet, Lucas Warren didn’t mind and finished everything.

In the afternoon, they played golf together.

For that day, Faye was completely Lucas Warren’s, which made him feel very content.

The next day, they took a walk in the park, went shopping, watched a movie, and at night went to a bar to drink and play until late.

On the third morning, Lucas Warren said, "Faye, could you wash my clothes for me once?"

Lucas handed her the clothes he’d worn all day yesterday that weren’t dirty.

Although Faye knew the clothes weren’t washable, she washed them anyway.

She knew that Lucas just wanted her to do these things for him.

She washed clothes in the bathroom while he leaned against the door watching.

At noon, they had some white wine, and Faye, overwhelmed, fell asleep and didn’t wake until after three o’clock.

When she woke up and looked around, she found that Lucas Warren was gone.

His room was clean and tidy, and a piece of paper lay on the table.

She stepped forward and picked up the paper, which was filled with words.

Faye, seeing this letter is like seeing me.

By the time you read this note, I will have already left.

Thank you for giving me the most perfect three days of my life.

It is these three days that made me understand the words my father said to me when he left us.

He said being with someone you don’t love drags on forever, but being with someone you love makes life extremely short.

You may not know, but while these three days felt like an eternity to you, they were pure happiness for me, wishing they could last forever.

I truly am not that ambitious, things like wealth and inheritance are transient to me.

I am only truly committed to love.

Perhaps my mother’s misfortunes had too great an impact on me growing up, which made me scared to love someone else.

But I have never regretted spending more than a decade loving only you.

Because you have always been worth it.

If loving Hunter truly makes you happy, and can fill your life with happiness.

This time, I’m willing to let go.

I didn’t dare say goodbye in person, because I’m afraid I won’t be able to bear it.

You said that day, you trust me because I’ve never harmed you.

Just this once, I’ve let you down. I added a little bit of sleeping pill to the wine.

Only this way could I quietly watch you and write this letter.

Faye, life is short. I just hope you remember when you think of the name Lucas Warren that I once loved you.

Don’t despise me, if we meet again, you can call me Brother Warren, and I’ll call you sister-in-law.

If we can’t meet again, there’s no need to worry.

Let’s both be well, take care.

Faye’s heart... was aching with mixed feelings of pain and relief.

Brother Warren, thank you.
