Chapter 480 This Gnawing Anxiety

• It hit him like a punch to the gut—the realization that he had lost to Calvin, or perhaps, that his place in Lucille's heart wasn't as important as Calvin's.
• Before falling in love with Lucille, he never knew that someone like him—someone who prided himself on being tough and decisive—could ever agonize over something that might seem trivial to others. Yet, here he was, obsessing over a small detail, feeling helpless and unreasonably upset.
• He feared that if he asked her about it, she might not want to tell him, and that would only make things awkward between them. He'd put her in a difficult position, and in doing so, make things harder for himself too. He was afraid to think if that cause a rift between them, or worse.
