Chelsea almost choked on the water she was drinking. Luka's question had left her utterly stunned.
When she met his sincere eyes, she came to her senses at once. It wasn't just her imagination, he had
really asked her that.
She couldn't believe that Zuri was actually right. Luka had a crush on her.
Chelsea had always thought that Zuri was making up drama like she always did, but now, as she
looked into Luka's eyes there was no doubt about it.
She placed the glass down uneasily, not sure what to say. "Mr. Pierce, I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Luka confessed again, "Chelsea, I like you very much."
The feeling of it was just so overwhelming that Chelsea was so scared. She was close to running away.
The last time someone confessed their feelings for her was so long ago that she didn't know how to
react. As soon as she graduated from university, she had gotten married to Edmund. She had fully
thrown herself into her marriage and hadn't kept in touch with any of her classmates or friend except
Zuri. It was as if she had been isolated from the world. She had done everything possible to avoid
causing any worry for Edmund.
Noticing her uneasiness, Luka slowed down and said softly, "At first, I was just attracted by your talent
in writing. Later, as I got to know you more, I discovered that you are so kind and gentle, making me
want to cherish and take care of you."
Chelsea wanted to interrupt Luka but he didn't let her. "Mr. Pierce..."
"Please let me finish. I know you don't want to be in a relationship right now. And I just wanted to
protect you silently at first and just be by your side. But I don't want to hide my feelings anymore, not
after I found what Hilton and Garry did to you."
Looking at her, Luka said sincerely, "I just want to stand by your side and be able to make sure that you
are not hurt by anyone."
Chelsea admitted that she was moved by his words especially now that she was in a complicated
situation.
But the more she was moved, the more rational she became, and that only added to her fear. She
couldn't hurt Luka just because she moved by his sincerity.
She said in an apologetic tone, "Mr. Pierce, thank you so much for your appreciation. But I believe you
will meet a better girl in the future. Someone better than me."
She was divorced and had too much going on in her life to really care for him. Luka deserved more
than that.
A perfect man like him was supposed to be with someone who thought of him as their whole world.
Of course, Luka knew why she said that. He told her, "You shouldn't belittle yourself like that. You're
great. You are beautiful and have an excellent ability."
Luka tried his best to make Chelsea let go of the things she was obviously worried about. "My family is
very ordinary. And my parents are ordinary people. If you agree to be with me, you won't have to bear
any pressure of social rank."
Chelsea's heart ached a little because she hadn't been a perfect match for Edmund. Alena and Sonya
had hated her from the bottom of their hearts, so the three years had cast a big scar on her. One that
wasn't going to fade for a long time.
Chelsea could feel that Luka meant everything he said, but she still lowered her eyes and said, "I'm
sorry, Mr. Pierce..."
She had loved someone before and knew how it felt to love a person. How that one person became the
center of all her thoughts and emotion.
But none of the feelings she had for Luka at that moment came close to that.
The sparkles in Luka's eyes dimmed and his disappointment was clear, but then he smiled gently. "I
might have known that you would refuse."
One year ago, after she divorced Edmund, she focused all her determination on developing her career.
Luka could see that she still wasn't ready, so he didn't say anything more.
If it weren't for the accident that day, he would have waited patiently for her to open up to him.
"Let's go. I'll take you home." He stood up and held out his hand.
Chelsea hurriedly refused, "No, thanks. I can go back by myself."
But Luka insisted on driving her back. "I will only worry about you if you go back by yourself alone. You
don't have to feel pressured for my sake."
Chelsea had no choice but to go with him. When they walked out of the meeting room together, the
other employees kept looking at Chelsea, probably thinking she was a heartless person who didn't care
about her parent at all.
