Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1871

Chapter 1871: Can We Still Walk Together?

Cloud remained silent.

Who could truly know what was in his heart? What he truly desired was not any of these. Initially, he wanted to obtain the schematics for the anti-electromagnetic pulse, just to exchange them with OGW and then escape with Vicki.

But now, could he still achieve his original goal?

Without Vicki, what was the purpose of everything he had done for over a decade?

Suddenly, he burst into laughter, raising his head and laughing uncontrollably until the laughter gradually turned into desolation.

At this moment, Luther had the opportunity to step forward and snatch the gun from Cloud's hand, but he didn't do it because he sensed that Cloud might be different from what they had imagined.

The laughter subsided, and Cloud gazed deeply at Vicki, even though she had her back turned to him at the moment, he never took his eyes off her.

Word by word, sentence by sentence, he asked, "Vicki, if we obtain the schematics, can we still walk together?"

Vicki vomited the bile in her stomach, feeling much relieved. She gently wiped the corners of her lips, stood up, and turned around. Even though she was weak from inhaling the mist, she was no match for Cloud.

But her burning gaze looked at him with an unprecedented sincerity.

She gently spoke, calling back his former name, "Rayan, do you remember when we were children? You always saved the delicious food for me. It was rare to have meat in the orphanage, but you always shared your braised pork with me. Sometimes, when I was hungry at midnight, you would sneak into the kitchen to steal steamed buns for me. Auntie caught us once, and the headmaster punished you with solitary confinement. You would save up your pocket money for a year and buy fireworks for me during the New Year. Although the fireworks were small, I will always remember the colorful and beautiful display, blooming in the sky. In my heart, that was the most beautiful thing. We watched fireworks together, looked at the stars together, and huddled together for warmth when it was cold. I knew in my heart that you were the one who brought warmth to me. I was born with a wild nature, easily offending others, and often being bullied. Once, I was bullied by a big boy. But after a few days, I noticed that he was missing a tooth, and he never dared to provoke me again. I understood that you had taught him a lesson. We lived like this year after year, until we grew up. You always restrained yourself, and I knew you were waiting for me to grow up. If Seren's incident hadn't happened, I also believed that we would continue like this in the future."

Vicki looked up, her gaze filled with even more anguish as she said, "You said you didn't trust me to be alone outside. You said you escaped from prison just to protect me. You said you didn't do anything wrong. Yes, you're not wrong; the fault lies with me. Rayan, you just lost sight of your original intentions. It brought us to opposing sides. OGW, the Ballard family, the Saunders family, and the warlords, all have deep grudges against each other. You know in your heart that OGW will eventually be completely destroyed. So, in fact, you already had a plan in your heart. You wanted to obtain the schematics, settle things with OGW, and escape with me."

As Vicki spoke, Felix suddenly became nervous. He reached out his hand, wanting to touch Vicki but hesitated and didn't dare to approach. He was afraid because he had no idea about the deep bond Vicki and Cloud once shared. Compared to the four years he had spent with Vicki, their relationship was complicated and Vicki and Cloud's childhood friendship, enduring hardships together, seemed more precious. Then what was he? Just a physical comfort for Vicki after losing Rayan? After all, she had never said she loved him. Cloud had even asked him before, had Vicki ever said she loved him? In fact, she never had.

Just now, Vicki even considered taking the child with her and dying together with Seren. What did the child mean to her?

She said to treat him as if they had never met. Those words deeply wounded his heart. They left an indelible mark on his life, but she wanted him to act as if nothing had happened. How was that possible?

Could he still keep Vicki? Suddenly, he felt uncertain.
