The man's words hit Lucy like a bucket of ice water.
She broke down instantly, sobbing harder than she ever had in her entire life.
"Alexander!" she screamed, voice cracking with pain.
Olivia grabbed his arm just as he turned to leave. She was clearly enjoying the drama unfolding.
Lucy stared at Alexander's back like she was drowning, her voice trembling. "You really want me to marry someone else?"
He turned around slowly, his face cold and unreadable.
"Why should I care who you marry?"
Clenching the grass beneath her fingers, Lucy gritted her teeth. "Just answer me—yes or no."
She locked eyes with him, stubbornly waiting for a response.
When Alexander said nothing, Olivia nudged him in the chest with her elbow.
"Yes," he finally muttered, his jaw tight.
