Chapter 535
The two of them talked a lot, from the latest cases at the law firm to the cutting–edge issues in the field of legal theory.
Marie became more and more enthusiastic as she chatted. Bryce not only had extensive practical experience but also had solid theoretical knowledge. He had always been interested in
cutting–edge legal issues.
As Lennon saw the two of them chatting so enthusiastically, his gaze grew colder and colder.
Finally, it was time for lunch.
Both Lennon and Bryce shamelessly stayed to mooch a meal.
After dinner, Bryce saw that Lennon was still lingering and he noticed Marie was in a quandary. So, he took the initiative to say that he would leave and come back later to pick up Annika.
After Bryce left, Marie still ignored Lennon, so he said, “Marie, the weather is about to change in Italy, and the support behind Nikolas is going down.”
Marie was startled.
She understood Lennon’s words.

Even if Nikolas‘ people come looking for trouble again, I’m not afraid. But Lennon, even without Nikolas, we can’t go back the way we were.”
“Why not?” Lennon’s voice trembled. He looked hurt.
“Because…” Marie felt a pain in her heart and she exerted a great effort to say, “Because I no longer love you.”
Lennon’s eyes narrowed, and his face suddenly turned pale.
The pain was unbearable.

Lennon stood still in astonishment.
Marie whispered, “Sorry.” And then she quickly left.
