However firm and inevitable Lucien's decision was, Blair was still hopeful and did believe that somehow she could convince Lucien.
She smiled at him and displayed cute pouty lips while feigning sadness over his decision. It always worked with her mom and dad when she was still a little girl, and the only time it didn't work was when she begged not to marry Dante.
Nevertheless, she was hopeful that it might work with Lucien.
She displayed the expression she wanted Lucien to see, just as she planned, and asked him once again. "Come on, Lucien, please. I wanted to thank her as well. She also saved my life, aside from you. In fact, it was even you who had decided to bring me to her."
"I had no choice then. If I didn't do it, you would definitely die. However, I can't trust somebody who doesn't trust me."
Lucien stood up in an attempt to walk away when Blair spoke again.
