Chapter 4

I quickly had someone find out which bridal shop Seraphina had chosen.

Actually, I didn't even need to investigate. Without any surprise, Luke had chosen the most expensive and exclusive bridal shop in the city.

It was the same shop I had visited four or five times already.

Three days ago, I had ordered the most expensive wedding dress in the country there.

Today was supposed to be the day the dress arrived.

However, when I arrived at the entrance of the bridal shop, I happened to see Seraphina wearing that very dress, twirling in front of Luke.

Luke was discussing something with the store manager.

"Luke, I really love this wedding dress; I want this one!" Seraphina sweetly clung to Luke's arm, pouting playfully.

Luke, meanwhile, was earnestly negotiating with the manager.

"Call that lady and tell her I'm willing to pay an extra fifty thousand and compensate her with another fifty thousand, as long as she agrees to let me have this dress."

Hearing that, I couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

Turns out, for his first love, he could be so generous.

The manager was naturally swayed by Luke's offer and turned to go into the back, saying she would call me.

I slowly walked up behind Luke.

Seraphina saw me first; her face immediately turned pale. She poked Luke's arm and looked at him with a pitiable expression.

Luke then turned around, saw me, and his brow furrowed instinctively.

"With so much going on at the company, why aren't you there? What are you doing here?!"

However, he showed not a hint of embarrassment. Instead, he immediately launched into an indignant interrogation.

I looked at him quietly, not wanting to argue.

Last night, I had cried all my tears for him.

It wasn't worth being sad for him anymore.

Seeing my silence, Luke pinched the bridge of his nose and finally spoke again.

"Chloe, as you can see, the person I truly love is Seraphina."

"Don't make a scene. I'll give you some money, and I hope you can leave gracefully."

My gaze remained fixed on his eyes.

I had come here today to ask him one last question.

"Luke, I just want to know, all these years, did you ever truly love me?"

Luke listened, and a hint of disdainful smile appeared on his lips.

"Chloe, I know you love me to death."

"But today, in front of Seraphina, I have to tell you honestly, I have never loved you."

"I only agreed to be with you because I felt sorry for you, chasing me for so many years."

Although it was the answer I expected, Luke's words were even more heartless than I had imagined.

Well. Good.

If he could be so ruthless.

Why couldn't I?

Just then, the manager came out from the back.

"Mr. Luke, I'm sorry..."

Before she could finish, she saw me and looked startled. "Oh, Miss Dawson, you're here. This gentleman, he..."

Before she could finish, I cut her off. "It's fine. Give the wedding dress to this lady."

"I hope they find happiness."

With that, I turned and left the bridal shop. I called my dad.

"Dad. On Luke's wedding day, tell him about withdrawing the investment."
