After listening, Lucy looked at Joel with a smile. She had to bear the pain in her heart. She then frowned slightly and looked puzzled.
She wanted to ask him why she was not worth it.
She was not trying to get the answer, she was just trying to fool the man.
But Joel did not give her the opportunity.
Seeing that she was about to speak, he knew that she was going to say way worse stuff than that.
However, he did not want to listen.
He was very distressed and his hands were shaking.
Nonetheless, he did not want to insult her.
If he said it, that would mean that she was being treated as such a person.
Countless excuses were flashing through his mind at that moment.
At last, he said lightly, “You’re dirty.”
Lucy’s face stiffened.
But he turned around and did not look at her again.
That was the euphemism he could have thought of to not categorize her with those people.
He felt that his remarks went too far.
It was to the point that he dared not look at her expression again.
If she admitted it, it would undoubtedly be the worst wound he would ever receive..
If she did not and argued against the assertion that he made just now, all her previous efforts would have been in vain.
Although the true reason was unknown, at that moment, he understood that she did not want him to approach her.
Pushing him away like this was the last thing she needed to do to protect her dignity.
Since she had sacrificed so much, he would fulfill her wish.
Giving her some space and also giving himself some time.
Joel left Lucy’s room after that.
There was no superfluous nonsense, nor did he hear her explanation.
Tears suddenly flooded in her eyes when she was looking at Joel’s back.
However, she restrained herself from crying.
She feared that he would unwittingly return, and she would be unable to explain.
The woman only cried after she heard the door slam.
Heartbroken.
But what she did not know was that Joel had not gone far.
He leaned against the door and heard Lucy crying. Unconsciously, the man wept.
Joel was in so much pain that he could not breathe.
There was no choice.
All he could do was to fulfill her wish as best as he could.
She loved him but had to push him away.
Then she must be facing an unspeakable pain.
He did not want to bother her.
Joel smiled awfully thinking of this.
He lifted his head, dried his tears, and left as if nothing had happened.
He had treated Jada badly. There was no way for them to continue pretending as lovers.
That was great, he could be a playboy again.
It was also good for him to heal the emotional damage he had suffered from Lucy.
Lucy lay in bed and did not care whether her body was exposed to the cold. She cried hysterically and heartbrokenly.
Susan covered her with the quilt. She hugged Lucy in her arms and constantly stroked her back.
“Sweetie, don’t be sad, stop crying.”
