Chapter 463 I Will Reward You Tonight
Nicholas’ expression darkened after he heard what I said. “What do you mean by that? Have you forgotten how he hurt you a year ago? Didn’t you want to make yourself stronger? Don’t you want to get Amaury back? Why are you giving up now?”
He cast me a series of questions as he raised his tone. Evidently, he was unhappy with my decision. I was sure he must have guessed that I knew something that he wanted to keep from me. That was why he asked all these questions.
I hated Michael very much before I knew the truth. Hence, I had been persistent with my goal to help Nicholas bring down Michael’s company.
However, I could not do it anymore since the truth was unveiled. I knew I was being selfish, but nothing was more important to me than love.
“I am sorry, Nicholas. I just found out the truth. Michael did not abandon me a year ago. It was all his father’s doing. I have misunderstood him, and now we have buried the hatchet, so I can’t go against him anymore.”
To be honest, I felt guilty toward Nicholas as I knew how much effort he had put into me throughout the past year.
“I know you might not be able to accept this. But I have to be honest with you. If not, it would be unfair to you,” I continued.
Having said that, I lowered my head and evaded his furious gaze.
“Are you sure you want to leave the company? Are you sure you want to forgive him? Have you forgotten all the sufferings you endured in the past year?” Nicholas blurted out, unable to contain his frustration.
With my head bowed, I remained silent as I knew he needed to vent his anger. After all, it was my fault that things turned out like that.
He became even more anxious after seeing my lack of response. After approaching me, he grabbed my shoulder and shook me forcefully.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Didn’t you say that you hated Michael? Even if it had nothing to do with him, his family was the one who separated you from your child. Are you going to let that drop? Do you remember what you have been through in the past year?”
He shook me violently as though he was trying to snap me back to my senses. At that moment, he was still trying his best to persuade me.
My heart skipped a beat upon seeing his rage and madness, and my shoulder became painful from his grip.
Even though I had expected that he would be pissed, I did not know he would be this scary. He was staring at me as though he was going to eat me up.
“I am sorry…”
Besides apologizing, I did not know what else I could say. After all, I did not plan for this to happen, and it was beyond my control.
Although I felt guilty, I had made up my mind. To me, nothing was more important than Michael and Amaury.
I would still try to find a way for him to return to me but not by hurting Michael.
Meanwhile, Nicholas stared at me coldly. After some time, he finally let go of his grip, his gaze filled with utter disappointment and pain.
“Are you sure about this decision? Are you going to leave here for good?”
He looked at me helplessly.
Nodding, I did not utter a word, but my attitude had said it all.
