Given the current situation, she couldn't tell him the truth, but letting things develop this way was too cruel for him.
Clenching her teeth, she ruthlessly pulled away from his embrace.
"Phoebe! I must remind you to stay away from me in the future. You should know that, apart from Lucas, I will never love anyone else, even if... he's dead!"
Ivana Bennett lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Phoebe's face. She really couldn't bear to see the look in his pink eyes.
After speaking, she turned and walked towards the car at the bottom of the steps.
Phoebe stepped down to chase after her, and the bodyguard immediately came forward to protect Ivana Bennett, separating Phoebe.
"I want to talk to you."
Phoebe said behind her.
"We have nothing to talk about," Ivana Bennett said with her back to him.
Phoebe insisted, "We must talk."
If it weren't for Lucas Walker's death, he might have continued to suppress these feelings, but now, he didn't want to keep deceiving himself.
