The Wolf Among Us 10

Chapter 10 

As Ayrton and Walter settled down next to Claire at the table adjacent to Lucille’s, they couldn’t help but shower Claire with affection, their eyes brimming with fondness… 

Lauri, witnessing this, was so infuriated that she nearly pulverized her steak, but Lucille remained as composed as ever. Laura had no choice but to swallow her frustration in silence

It wasn’t long before the two finished dinner and left together

Lucille, after bidding goodbye to Laura, returned home 

That night. Ayrton and Walter didn’t come back, but Lucille wasn’t bothered. She was busy packing her last few bags

In the morning, the sound of footsteps outside indicated Ayrton and Walter’s return, It made sense. Today was the day they were moving into the new house. What they didn’t know was that their new home, their future, wouldn’t include her 

As the noise outside grew louder, likely due to the moving commotion, Lucille ignored it. She was just finishing her packing when her mother called.2 

Lucille, when does your flight land? We’ll pick you up at the airport,” Chloe’s gentle voice came through the phone 

Lucille checked her flight details and replied softly, Tll be amving around 7 PM.

Just then, her door swung open, revealing Ayrton and Walter standing there

Walter casually asked, Who are you talking to?” 

No one.Lucille replied cuntly, ending the call

Her chilly tone caught them off guard. Ever since Claire showed up, Lucille had been distant

Ayrton felt uneasy, his mind replaying Lucille’s unusual behavior. He blurted out, Lucille, Claire’s different from you. She’s had a tough life, and I just want to help her out. That’s all,” 

er? Why are you jealous now?” 

Walter chimed in. Yeah, we just feel sorry for her. Besides, you introduced us to Claire, remember

Lucille remained composed. Why are you telling me this?” 

In unison, they replied, Because you care!? 

They had grown up together childhood friends who understood each other’s unspoken words and gestures. How could they not sense her feelings

But now they couldn’t quite understand her anymore

Lucille’s gaze was cool, as if she was looking at strangers. “I don’t care. You said she’s just a friend, and I’m your friend too. So why would I care?

Their silence was telling 

Ayrton finally spoke, Lucille, you know I’ve never wanted just friendship with you.” 

Walter couldn’t hide his emotions, After all these years, do you really think we’re just friends?” 

Lucille knew what they meant. They both had feelings for her, wanted to be with her. But if supporting Claire meant belittling her, she couldn’t accept their affection

She nodded. Yes, we’ll have another kind of relationship.” 

Soon, they wouldn’t even be friends

Another kind of relationshipstrangers

Her words had a hidden meaning, and Ayrton felt 

cton felt a pang 

of unease, about to speak when a driver came in to collect Lucille’s luggage 

Lucille stopped him. You can go ahead. I’ll take it myself.

Walter was agitated. How are you going to manage all this alone? Don’t be stubbom. It’s my fault, I apologize.Lucille was firm. I really don’t need help. Go help Claire. She lives alone and needs your assistance more.” 

Ayrton detected the sarcasm in her words and frowned, just as Claire called 

Ayrton, Waller, can you help me out? I’m so clumsy and can’t do anything right, her voice whined through the phone

The two exchanged a glance and, seeing Lucille’s resolute expression implying she didn’t need any help, decided to leave!! 

Ayrton ended the call and turned to Lucille. Claire’s struggling, I have to help her.” 

Walter grabbed his car keys. Il come too.” 

Just before leaving. Ayrton, still concerned, added, Lucille, I know you’re upset. I’ve booked a restaurant. Let’s have dinner after the move

and I’ll explain everything about Claire.” 

Before Lucille could respond, he hurried out

Watching them leave, Lucille smiled wryly

Explain later

Too bad, there wouldn’t be a later for them

Considering Ayrton and Walter’s recent actions, Lucille doubted what more there was to explain

Soon, her phone buzzed with a message from Claire, dripping with provocation

[Sorry, Lucille, it only took one call for me to have Ayrton and Walter leave you. Looking forward to living together!]

Lucille smirked, her fingers tapping out a reply

[Wishing the three of you have a wonderful life. I won’t be a part of it

With that, she blocked Claire’s contacts

Next was Ayrton

Finally, Walter 

Her contact list was cleared, and with it, they vanished from her world

Pulling her suitcase, Lucille stepped out of the house filled with countless memories, leaving without a backward glance.!!
