Megan sighed how stupid she was and how obsessed she was with this man. But she forgot that she still couldn't forget Lucian right now.
So even though she had just walked past Lucian indifferently as if she didn't know him, she still couldn't forget him now. Now on the way with Aron, she was still thinking about that man.
Megan kept her head down and thought of Lucian, as if she was the only one left in the world.
She almost forgot that she was walking on the road with Aron.
With a complex expression, Aron looked at Megan who was immersed in her own world with empty eyes.
He sighed helplessly and pulled back Megan who was about to hit the telephone pole.
Being pulled by Aron, Megan came back from her own personal world. She looked at Aron confusedly.
"What's wrong, Aron?"
Aron was speechless. Why didn't she notice that she almost bumped into the telephone pole?
Helplessly, Aron pointed at the telephone pole in front of Megan. She looked up and saw the telephone pole which was not far away from her. It was not until then that she realized that if she was not pulled by Aron, she would almost bump into that pole.
She looked at Aron with gratitude in her eyes.
"Thank you. Let's go."
But when Megan start to walk again, she couldn't help thinking of Lucian again.
Looking at Megan like this, Aron sighed helplessly and stopped. Megan walked alone for a while and finally felt something strange.
When she came back to her senses, she found Aron standing still and looking at her with deep eyes.
Megan stepped back and walked to Aron. She looked at him, confused.
"Aron, why you suddenly stop there? Let's go."
After saying that, she took the lead to walk forward, but her arm was grabbed by Aron.
She turned to look at Aron with confusion on her face.
"What's wrong?"
Aron looked at Megan seriously.
"Tell me, what are you thinking now?"
Megan looked a little flustered.
"Nothing."
"Do you think I will believe that you are not thinking about something after I saw you almost bump into the telephone pole?"
Aron's serious words made Megan silent for a moment. Then she smiled at him and said, "Oh, you're thinking too much. I really don't think about anything. I'm just thinking about our design plan."
Megan thought she performed flawless and perfect, but she doesn't realize that Aron had already found out a bit of unusual in her eyes.
Aron sighed and pulled Megan to a milk tea shop on the roadside. He bought her a cup of milk tea. Seeing that she was drinking it quietly, he was silent for a while and then asked, "Just now, what happened between you two before I went upstairs?"
Hearing this, Megan's hand holding the milk tea froze. She lowered her head and watched the milk tea rippling slightly in the cup, steaming with heat.
Aron didn't force her, but waited quietly.
"I just saw him as soon as I went out... You know what? I thought I had forgotten him. But somehow, the moment I saw him, I found that I still remembered him, but I had nothing to say to him. The two of us could only stand there, staring at each other, but didn't say anything."
Aron could tell that Megan's words were from the bottom of her heart, but he didn't say anything. He was silent for a while before he looked at Megan and said, "In fact, when you refused me, I had already guessed what you were thinking, but I still didn't want to force you, because you have suffered a lot before."
Hearing this, Megan felt a lump in her throat and almost cried out.
She put down the empty milk tea cup in her hand and walked out of the milk tea shop. The two of them walked side by side. They were so close to each other right now, but no one could feel the slightest intimacy between them. They were just like brother and sister.
Aron walked and said, "In fact, I didn't go to find you right after Lucian went up. Not long after you went up, I saw him at the door. However, I just didn't want to pay attention to him. But I forgot that he also wanted to cooperate with Coco Group this time. When I remembered, he had already gone upstairs."
Aron took a deep breath and wanted to say something more, but he was interrupted by Megan.
"It's unnecessary. I have nothing to do with him now. Let's go back to the company first."
Then she walked forward.
Soon, the two of them returned to the company. Aron looked at Megan, who was sorting things out, with a complicated expression in his eyes. However, Megan was still thinking about Lucian.
The familiar eyes lingered in Megan's mind for a long time. His eyes were still as clear as water, but they lacked the tenderness a few years ago. They were not as bright as before, and became much colder. For a moment, she didn't know why she would feel a little disappointed suddenly.
The air suddenly became silent. Looking at Megan's somewhat abnormal expression, Aron was a little worried.
"Our competitor this time is Lucian. We must have a good fight. Megan, if you really feel stressed, just tell me. I'll ask someone else to take responsibility of
this project. Don't force yourself," Aron frowned and said. He was really worried about Megan.
"It doesn't matter. I will continue to be responsible for this design plan to the end. I will definitely make a satisfactory design plan. He is just Lucian! It doesn't matter. We have already ended. In my heart, he has long disappeared," Megan said lightly.
Their relationship had been over for a long time. There was no if or regret. She was no longer the Megan he loved. Now they had become complete opponents and enemies. She shouldn't have panicked at this time. She should remember that he was the person who hurt her, and the person who should be forgotten from now on. He was no longer the person who would give her a palpitation when their eyes met anymore. Everything had already ended when they signed the divorce papers.
"Megan." Aron called her name gently.
Megan didn't answer him. She lowered her head and sorted out the documents in her hands. She had been separated from Lucian for so many years. People said that time was the best antidote. She thought she hated him to the core. She thought she could walk past him when she saw him and treat him as a stranger. But when they made eyes contact with each other today, her heart trembled. An indescribable feeling surged from the bottom of her heart.
Aron was worried when he saw the change of expression on Megan's face. Lucian was always a scar on Megan's heart. Over the years, the scar never healed.
Megan looked through the documents in her hands over and over again, and he clearly saw the sadness in her eyes.
"Megan, are you okay?" Aron stopped her from sorting out the documents.
She removed her hand from his subconsciously.
"Yes, Aron, I'm fine." Megan came back to her senses and smiled at him.
"I have some work to do. I have to go now." After tidying up the documents on the table, Megan turned around and was about to leave.
For so many years, they grew up together. There was no one who knew Megan better than him. Although she had a smile on her face, she was sad in her heart. But Megan never said it. In front of him, she had been pretending that she was fine and didn't want anyone to worry about her.
"Megan, go home and have a rest. I'll give you half a day off. Don't worry about your work." Aron stopped her from behind.
Aron was still worried about Megan. He knew that Megan was not in the mood to think about work at all.
Megan didn't say anything more. She paused, nodded and walked out.
Looking at her lonely back, Aron felt very uncomfortable. Megan and he grew up together, and he was the one who had been with Megan all the time. However, He still could never match Lucian's place in Megan's heart, even if Lucian was the one who hurt Megan most.
He wanted to go back to his childhood. If time could come back, if he hadn't gone abroad to study and left her alone in China, he would have accompanied and protected her well all the time. He wouldn't let her meet and know Lucian and she wouldn't be hurt. But now everything had been changed. Even if he was the one who was with her now, there was nothing he could do except to accompany her.
As soon as Eric heard the sound of the door, he guessed that his mother had come back. He ran out of the room without putting down the toy in his hand and stood at the door to welcome Megan back.
"Mommy, you're back!" As soon as Megan returned home, Eric pounced on her.
"Did you behave well at home today?" Megan touched Eric's little head.
"I behaved well today. Mommy, can you play with me today? Look, this is the toy Uncle Aron bought for me." Eric looked at Megan expectantly.
Looking at Eric's big eyes full of expectation, she found that she had been busy with the project for a long time and hadn't accompanied her son for a long time. Although she didn't have the heart to refuse him, she decided to modify the design plan of Coco Group in the end. This time, she had no choice but to succeed.
"Eric, play by yourself first. I have something else to do. I'll play with you when I finish my work." Megan looked at Eric apologetically.
Although Eric was a little unhappy in his heart, he was smart and sensible. He knew that his mother worked very hard and it was not easy for her as well, so he followed the servant back to the room.
After Megan looked at the disappointed Eric who was taken back to the room by the servant, she turned around and went into the room herself.
Megan turned on the computer and began to modify the design plan. She thought that she must win this time. She stared at every line on the screen of the computer more carefully. She must let Lucian know that she could also live a good life without him, and she must make him lose miserably this time.
After work, Lucian couldn't breathe when he thought that he would be entangled by the woman called Shelly again if he went home now. Although he knew that she had been kind to him and accompanied him for so long, he really didn't want to hear about their marriage now. He thought he'd better go home later.
