The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray-Chapter 1261 - 1261 Self-Degradation
1261 Self-Degradation
Lucas really never expected that Lena would fall in love with him just because he had saved her twice and that she would go as far as to end her decade-long friendship with Cheyenne for his sake.
If she was merely one-sidedly in love with him and didn’t do anything, he would have just not reciprocated, nor would he look down on her. On the contrary, he would treat her as his friend and do his best to help her in the future.
But she had done something she shouldn’t have done. She shouldn’t have let herself indulge in her adoration and hurt the person who meant the most to Lucas.
“Lena Sawyer, all I can say is thank you for loving me, but it’s impossible between us. The only woman I love is Cheyenne, and I will never fall in love with anyone else or make my beloved sad.
“I can take it that nothing happened this time, but if this happens once more, if you make Cheyenne sad again, I won’t let you off!”
With that, Lucas stood up decisively and turned around to leave.
“No! Lucas! Don’t go!” Lena immediately panicked, grabbed Lucas’s arm tightly, and pleaded miserably.
He looked at her hand holding his arm and frowned. He shouted in displeasure, “Let go!”
“No, I won’t let go!”
Not only did she not let go of his arm, but she even hugged his waist tightly and begged, “Lucas, I really like you. I love you! I don’t dream of becoming your wife like Cheyenne. But I don’t mind being your lover as long as I can be by your side!
“If you’re afraid that Cheyenne won’t agree or that she’ll be sad, we can choose not to tell her and treat it as a secret between us. As long as you can accompany me whenever you’re free and say a few words to me, I’ll be more than satisfied! I promise! I’m not greedy, and I won’t ask for anything else. Just fulfill this wish of mine, okay?”
Lena was weeping incessantly as she gave up all her dignity. She would rather be a clandestine mistress than leave Lucas.
But what she said not only failed to touch him, but it made him find her disgusting.
Lena was the daughter of Ethan Sawyer, the richest man in Orange County. Once Lucas left for DC, the Sawyers would even become the top family in all of California, and she could definitely get any man she wanted.
Yet she was targeting Lucas and was even willing to be his mistress. It was simply shameless!
She wanted to be a mistress, but he didn’t want to be an adulterer.
Furthermore, Lena clearly knew that Cheyenne was his wife, and she had been best friends with Cheyenne for years, yet she still wanted to cheat with her best friend’s husband and come in between them. She would rather be a reviled mistress who was scolded by everyone.
She claimed that she could hide it from Cheyenne so as not to hurt her, but hiding it didn’t mean that she wouldn’t be hurting her.
Hiding it didn’t mean that it wasn’t a betrayal.
She was just deceiving herself!
If the matter was exposed one day, and Cheyenne found out that her best friend had hooked up with her husband, it would result in devastating harm to her!
Lena was doing it all out of her own selfishness without sparing a thought for Cheyenne. Someone like her wasn’t worthy of being Cheyenne’s best friend at all! ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢
“I told you to let go. Didn’t you hear me?” Lucas was truly furious. He stared at her coldly without a trace of warmth.
“No! I’m not letting go! Lucas, I won’t let go until you agree!” Lena cried and clamored stubbornly while tightening her grip on Lucas.
It wasn’t that she didn’t know how terrifying Lucas was, but she thought that she was different in his heart and that he would never get physical with her. So she decided to pester him endlessly and hug him tightly.
With a cold expression on his face and an icy voice, he said, “Lena Sawyer, don’t think that I won’t lay a hand on you! I will say it one last time. Let go!”
His voice contained obvious anger and even a touch of murderous intent.
Lena shuddered all over. She could sense the obvious murderous intent in his voice, and fear immediately surged in her heart.
She knew that Lucas was really furious. If she continued pestering him, her ties with him would truly be completely over, and he would no longer be polite to her.
She slowly loosened her grip and looked at Lucas with fear written all over her face.
“Don’t appear in front of me again, and stay away from Cheyenne. She doesn’t need a friend with ill intentions like you. Do you hear me?” Lucas warned, staring coldly at Lena. “If you dare to do anything like this again, don’t blame me for being unkind and banishing your family to hell!”
Lena’s heart immediately sank to rock bottom.
She thought that after confessing her feelings and even making a tremendous sacrifice by saying that she was willing to be a clandestine mistress and wouldn’t compete with Cheyenne for the position of his legal wife, Lucas would be touched and agree to her request.
But she didn’t expect Lucas to reject her immediately and even tell her not to appear in front of him and Cheyenne again!
For this, Lucas didn’t even hesitate to threaten the Sawyers’ existence!
Why?
Why is Lucas so good to Cheyenne but so cold and heartless toward me?
“Lucas, I love you so much. How… how can you treat me like this?” Lena looked at Lucas sadly with red eyes.
Lucas said indifferently, “Who you like is your business. Do I have to reciprocate just because you like me?
“Besides, I already have someone I love, and no one can come between us. There’s only room for her in my heart.
“Lena Sawyer, you’re not stupid, so you should understand what I mean. From now on, I don’t want to see you messing with mine and Cheyenne’s lives. Do you hear me?”
What Lucas said completely ruined Lena’s fantasies and delusions.
She understood that he really had no feelings for her and that he wouldn’t get together with her.
Cheyenne would forever have an irreplaceable spot in his heart.
At the thought of this, Lena burst into tears bitterly.
Seeing her so sad, he still couldn’t bear to be too harsh to her. After all, she was his admirer, not his enemy.
After sighing, Lucas said in a mellower tone, “If you can let go of your feelings for me in the future, we can still be friends. I hope you can find someone you love and who loves you back soon.”
With that, Lucas didn’t want to say anything else. He turned around and walked toward the entrance of the private room.
But suddenly, Lena asked, “Lucas, don’t you want to know what exactly happened between us in the hotel room that night?”
As soon as she said this, Lucas abruptly turned around and looked at Lena coldly, his eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent. “If you dare to say a word of nonsense, I won’t let you off!”
