Chapter 2947
Lawrence's eyes held a touch of genuine sorrow as he said," I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you, but I had things I needed to do.”
Nicole's response was steady and calm, "It's okay, that's all behind us now."
Their relationship had changed; it couldn't return to what it used to be.
Shifting the topic, Lawrence asked, "Can I go see Nolan and Lana?" He didn't want to dwell on the past anymore.
He knew what Nicole's words implied - their friendship was over. He might not have another chance to see Nolan and Lana, so he hoped to see them one last time.
Nicole considered this for a moment before answering, "You can see them at their school gate after school. But don't bother them. And remember, this is the last time."
Lawrence felt a wave of sadness, realizing Nicole was setting a final boundary.
After a brief pause, he accepted, "Okay."
Knowing there was nothing more to discuss, Lawrence stood up, "I guess I should get going."
"Alright," Nicole gave a light nod.
As Lawrence neared the door, he stopped and turned back,"
If it's ever possible, would you think about going back to Crescent Island?"
He longed for the carefree days they had there, wishing they could have stayed in those moments forever.
"I don't see that happening again. Maybe that place was never really for me," Nicole replied, her gaze meeting Lawrence's.
He had saved her, offering her a haven at Crescent Island, but it was all just a strategy for her Fire Crest. Looking back, it all felt kind of silly.
She had believed they were friends, but he had never truly seen her in that way.
A hint of sadness flashed in Lawrence's eyes. He gave a nod, opened the door, and stepped out.
