They grew up together, so every expression of the female lead revealed what she was thinking. His actions today were indeed wrong. He knew that the female lead hated this kind of situation the most, but he still did it. Now he regretted it deeply. If he had known, he wouldn't have put himself on the same level as Miles.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do this today. I just didn't expect Miles to show up here. I lost control a bit. I see you haven't eaten, so let's change places. You have work in the afternoon, you can't go hungry."
Duncan was really anxious. He urgently wanted to explain to the female lead, but she was already too lazy to listen.
Today's lunch was indeed not entirely Duncan's fault, but the female lead didn't expect it to turn out like this. She was indeed a bit of a headache, but more than that, she felt helpless.
"I didn't know he would be here for lunch today. If I had known he would be here, I wouldn't have asked you to come with me. I don't know why you have such a prejudice against him, but I always feel that as friends, we shouldn't care too much about these things. Besides, children don't have any malicious intent. I don't understand why you did this today."
The female lead looked at Duncan seriously, but Duncan felt a bit sad inside. Did she really not understand, or did she just not want to understand?
"I may not understand, but you clearly understand what I mean. We grew up together, but I never just wanted to be friends with you. I've liked you for years, and everyone can see that, except you."
He blurted out these words, though they shouldn't have been said at this moment. He had been waiting by the female lead's side for so many years, but now that she was finally divorced, didn't he have a chance?
Why could Miles have this chance, but he couldn't? Just because they grew up together? If that was the case, he would rather not have grown up with her.
"I know you just don't want our relationship to become awkward, but you have to give me a chance. Just because we grew up together doesn't mean you can cut off my chance. My sister is on your side, everyone is on your side, but why isn't anyone on my side? Is my love for you really that unacceptable?"
The female lead felt a bit embarrassed. She didn't expect Duncan to confess at this moment, and she didn't know how to respond. She suddenly felt at a loss.
