Billionaire, Let's Divorce (Mark and Sydney) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 0174 

What does this mean? Am I being abandoned again? I finally found the man of my dreams, now this? So much for ‘I’ll never ever let you go again.” 

He stuck his hand in his pocket. Even though he was standing a few feet from me, I could see him drifting far away from 

me 

He nodded and looked into my eye as he responded, “Yes, I am going back alone. If I figure it out, l’11 contact you. 

“If!” I said incredulously. “What’s this, Lucas?” My voice trembled, “Some kind of business deal?” 

He threw his face away and I wanted to hold his face and look into his eyes and see that he was joking. He’d laugh out loud and I would too. Then he’d kiss me and we’d go home. But I couldn’t hold his face. and look into his eyes because all the latter would not happen unless I wanted to be delusional. 

I swallowed and took a step forward. Even though my heart was sinking and all I wanted to do was run down the hallway, find a restroom and bawl out my eyes there, I managed to croak out, “Then I… can I go to the airport to see you off?” I stammered. 

“No need.” Lucas immediately answered in a clipped tone. His response was definite. 

And with that, he walked past me and walked down the hallway in long strides without a backward glance. 

A lone tear slid down my cheeks as I watched his retreating figure. Just like that, he was gone again. It felt like I was hit on the face with a metal bucket and I shuffled closer to the wall to steady myself, thankful that I was alone in the hallway. 

I leaned my head against the wall and sniffed quietly, unable to stop the tears from dropping. 

For the umpteenth time, I regretted my decision in coming for this stupid meeting. If I had listened to Grace, all of these would not have happened; I wouldn’t have witnessed this foreign side to Lucas; the side that made me now wonder if it was Lucas that just broke up with me or someone else. 

My hands shook as I unlocked my phone, sniffing. My sniffs were getting louder and I didn’t want anyone seeing me like this. My fingers trembled as I dialed Grace’s phone number. 

Suddenly, someone cleared their throat. I looked up, my vision slightly blurred by the tears that clouded in my eyes to see Mark leaning against the doorframe of the conference room 

How long has he been there? 

I stood upright. “What now?” I folded my arms across my chest to hide my trembling hands. “How satisfying do you find watching me make a fool of myself? I bet you’ve been waiting to mock me.” I tried to make my voice sound clear and calm, angry even. Maybe I could pour out all the anger I couldn’t direct towards Lucas for dumping him into whatever stupid conversation he was about to have with me. 

Instead of a snarky comeback, Mark surprised me when he sighed. His eyes didn’t hold that mocking or mischievous glint I expected to find there. 

There was a lazy aura to the way he looked at me, a tenderness that confused me was directed at me. 

“How could I mock you?” With a serious expression, he said, “I’ve completely fallen in love with you. In this 

game of love, you’ve completely won. From now on, I have no deception, no trickery for you, only

complete submission.” 

Okay! He definitely lost his memory and I just pitied him more. I just hope he doesn’t go about flamboyantly declaring his love to random girls and women.
