Chapter
want to listen to his explanation at all, but Niks insisted.
He held my face, and I couldn’t move. I could only listen to him speak
That day. I heard someone fell into the water. My first reaction was to check if you were okay. They said it was Madeleine, and I breathed a sigh of relier. But she was still treated as a granddaughter by my grandfather, so I saved her. I didn’t expect that you also
just a few simple sentences, they managed to completely absolve themselves of any responsibility.
He saw the expression on my face, which was completely incredulous. Niko remained silent for a long time and said. “You don’t believe me, do you?
+ should I believe v
I looked at him coldly, “Everyone saw it at that time. You rushed over without even thinking. You did it to save her, it had nothing to do with me. After Logan saved me, you still treated me so coldly.”
“Niko, I wasn’t blind, I could feel your disrespect towards me.”
Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as he gently embraced me, this time without the same force as before, almost as if he was afraid of crushing me, his strength surprisingly tender, as if he was afraid of hurting me.
“Kayley. I wasn’t being indifferent to you, it was because you almost lost your life at that time, I was angry..
low voice. “If it weren’t for you being okay, I almost wanted to kill someone back then.
I shook my head and said, “Niko, if you really care about me, get a divorce, let me go, and give me true freedom.”
“Except for this matter, only this matter is not allowed.
Niko still didn’t dare to let go and whispered in my ear, “When you remember, we can talk about divorce again.”
Did you think that as long as I remembered, I wouldn’t get divorced?” I frowned at him.
Niko did not answer, but he clearly thought so.
I sneered,
‘s useless, Niko. Since fate made me forget about this matter, it means I shouldn’t remember. Maybe this is the opportunity given to me to leave you”
I resisted the thought of recalling this matter and was unwilling to become my 25–year–old self again.
Niko had no choice but to temporarily calm me down.
I had been living a normal life for a few days when, unexpectedly, Madeleine found me.
“Kayley, let’s talk ”
Madeleine looked a bit haggard and disheveled this time, with deep dark circles under her eyes.
was right downstairs from my company, and I didn’t want anyone to make fun of her.
“What do you have to say? Just say it quickly.”
Madeleine suddenly laughed sarcastically, “You’re proud, aren’t you? Niko unilaterally terminated the partnership with us, the Pruitt family Now everyone in the circle knows that the Pruitt family has lost its backing!”
I frowned, indeed I was somewhat surprised
But I said in a flat tour, “What’s it got to do with me? You should go find him.”
“But he said he wouldn’t help me! Did you say something to him?
I became impatient. “I thought you came to sincerely apologize, but it seems like it’s only for your own benefit. We have nothing to talk
about
I turned around to leave, and suddenly Madeleine shouted sharply behind me, “Kayley! Why can a country girl like you become his wife? Why can you be his wife? What is it about me that i can’t compare to you?”
My footsteps suddenly came to a halt, and sharp ringing in my ears made it impossible for me to think.
I seemed to have heard these words before.
Shortly after I married Niko, his wealthy friends were mocking me.
Back then, Madeleine was quite friendly towards me, even understanding, and she gave me a lot of ideas.
But her ideas, on the other hand, often made me embarrass myself in front of everyone.
I started to become insecure and timid, as if walking on thin ice. I also started to have doubts and fears, afraid that Niko would abandon me…
Those scenes flashed before me one by one, and I was certain that they were my memories. However, they had not fully recovered yet, so I could only see some fragments.
Madeleine came running from behind, “Kayley, I can apologize to you, but you must tell Niko…”
“Get lost!”
I shook off his hand directly, my eyes bloodshot. “I have zero interest in your affair with Niko. Please tell him that I don’t want to see either of you anymore! The farther away you
two are from me, the better!”
I was just about to leave when I ran into a strong embrace head–on, and above me came the familiar sound of a mischievous chuckle, “How is it that we always manage to stumble upon scenes like this, Niko, don’t you think?”
It was Logan’s voice.
I hadn’t had time to react when I was pulled away by another force.
By the time I realized it, I was already in Niko’s arms.
The man coldly looked at Logan beside me and said, “Stay away from her.”
Logan shrugged helplessly and said, “I didn’t do anything to her, look how nervous you are.”
After speaking, he looked at Madeleine, who had an unpleasant expression on her face, and said with a smile, “Why do you always bother Kayley privately?”
“Was it her who caused trouble for me, right?”
Madeleine had a cold expression on her face, but it softened slightly when she saw Niko. “Niko, no matter what, we grew up together since we were little, and we can be considered childhood sweethearts. What happened before was just a misunderstanding. Can’t you just let it go…”
