Chapter 170

Clement finally understood why he couldn’t find this stone anywhere the day after that day. Plunged into

embarrassment, he thought: “If that were the case, I could no longer continue to lie to him…” At this idea,

Clément thought he had no other choice than to play the ignorant . He said: – What do you mean? It ‘s

just an ordinary stone, isn’t it ?Looking Clement seriously in the eye, Lucile said: – Do not deceive me

again. Florentin had already taught me that this stone is yours, that there are words engraved on it and

that it is unique in the world. At these words, Clément cursed Florentin from the bottom of his heart *

How talkative Florentin is!» These proofs of Lucile seemed to him so solid that he was obliged to confess

with nods of his head:

– Well, I admit it. Yes, I was the one who saved you at Jilin Restaurant. But it was just by chance. Please

don’t tell Chloe about it.

A silence immediately began to reign between these two people.

Embarrassed by the fact that Lucile had easily discovered the identity he had been trying to hide from

everyone for a long time, Clément didn’t know what to say.

Very agitated, Lucile, she had mixed feelings.

Staring at Clément, she hesitated to confide her love for him. And she ended up finding the courage to

take a step towards her love to stay almost glued to the latter’s body.

Then she said: – Clement, I… I love you! To hear it, Clément took a step back in an imperceptible way

before saying: – Lucile, you know, I am the husband of your best friend. How do you… Lucile retorted,

gritting her teeth:

– Yes I know. But you and Chloe don’t like each other. It was for Master Xavier that you were married,

wasn’t it? As a result, you are not her real husband, you are her “false” husband.

Suddenly, she grabbed Clément’s hand to place it on her heart. She said lovingly:

– Clement, that in terms of appearance or size, I can match Chloe. Also, I’m the eldest daughter of the

Chastain family. And I love you more, compared to her. I can do anything for you.

Clement withdrew his hand instantly and refused

– Lucile, it is impossible that we love each other. On the one hand, I never want to betray Chloe. On the

other hand, in my opinion, you are losing your mind just for the moment; and your feelings for me will

evaporate in time. So don’t think about me anymore. It’s not worth it

Lucile continued stubbornly:

– Nope. Yesterday, after returning to the hotel, I thought hard all night long. Listen, Clément, I fell in love

with you from our first meeting, namely the first time you saved me. And yesterday, when you saved me

once again, I found myself madly in love with you.

More and more excited, Lucile began to shout:

– I really love you ! You can count on me. If you also want to stay with me, I won’t allow anyone to

despise you, and I can always be at your disposal!

Clément laughed yellow on the spot thinking:

“This woman only knows that I am her saviour. What she doesn’t know is that I’m also the CEO of

Groupe Roi and the eldest son of the Huets. If I don’t want to be despised, I can directly reveal my true

identity. In that case, many people would bow down to me. But I don’t like this kind of life at all. »

He refrained from saying what he thought of Lucile, for fear that the latter would become more

discouraged and discover his true identity. Fixing Clément with a firm gaze, Lucile persisted:

– You can refuse me for the moment. But I don’t plan to give up. I’m going to prove to you with concrete

actions that compared to Chloe, I love you more and I deserve you more. I want to stay with you all my

life even as your mistress

Clément replied with resignation:

– Lucile, you’re too nervous now. I advise you to think seriously about what I have told you. I’m coming

back to cook Son, I’ll leave you.

With that, Clément quickly fled on an electric bicycle.

He considered that Lucile’s fire of passion would naturally die out in a few days and that, in the

meantime, he would have to dodge it.

However, following Clement with her gaze, Lucile still seemed firm. She said to herself:

“Lucile, don’t be discouraged! Trust yourself. »
