"Nana kept accusing me of seducing you…"
"I didn't. I just, I just hope that the two of you can stay away from one another. Lucas, you also promised to keep your distance from her, but last night…I really find it difficult to accept, which is why I came looking for Cordy to thrash things out," Nana said indignantly.
"Let's put it this way: I am seducing you. All those accidental and planned meetings between us were all my doing. Last night's accident was also something I planned. Dicky asking to stay behind was also something I'd deliberately told him to say." Cordy decided to go all out and pretend to be the bad guy.
Why would she bother trying to be the good guy?
It was tough and never ended well for her.
Perhaps being thoroughly wicked was the way to go.
People would always tend to shun bad guys too.
Cordy's words made Richard furrow his brows.
He did not really like hearing her say that of herself, but he knew that it was rude for children to interrupt when adults were talking.
He bit his lip and kept silent.
"Nana exposed me just now and I pushed her down in a fit of anger," Cordy said frankly. "Now, I no longer want to put on an act. I fancy Lucas, and all I want to do is to snatch him away from Nana…"
"Stop it, Cordy." Lucas cut her off.
Cordy shrugged. She looked at Lucas and said in all seriousness, "Now that everything's out in the open, I'd like to ask you one question, Lucas. Are you going to break up with Nana and be with me, or are you going to turn me down?"
Nana's body stiffened.
She probably did not expect Cordy to be so aggressive.
How could she be so bold as to show her cards?
This woman… was not to be trifled with.
With eyes filled with tears, Nana looked deeply at Lucas, who did not respond for a long time.
