Connor lowered his head, his voice very low: "I know."
It's just a pity that he liked him, but not quite enough.
Natalie Niles hugged him tightly, her voice tight as well: "I was wrong! I admit it! I'm not breaking up, Connor!"
Connor's heart suddenly ached sharply, and he hugged her and cried.
But he was really scared.
Afraid that his existence would harm Harry Hunter, afraid that if he continued with Natalie Niles, he would truly become a bridge that she would use to break through Harry Hunter's defenses someday.
Isn't it the norm of life to love but not be able to get what you want?
He released Natalie Niles, pried her arms off him, stood up, and brought out the dishes and porridge from the kitchen.
"I didn't expect this to be the last lunch with you. If I'd known, I would have made it a bit more extravagant."
Connor smiled at her faintly, as if breaking up was a very ordinary matter.
