Chapter 1841 A Deal
Turning around, I saw that Nick refused to budge. All he did was shake his head at me. “No, Scarlett. I will seek justice for Rose.”
“Tell him to come out and see me. All I want him to do is to apologize in front of Rose’s grave.”
Nathaniel, apologize? Impossible. How can a demon who kills his own confidantes ever show any remorse? I understand no husband can ever tolerate the murder of his wife, but now just isn’t the time.
“I promise you that I will help you get what you want out of Nathaniel. Sometime down the road, I will personally get him to apologize to Rose. But today, you should leave first, all right?” I persuaded him anxiously.
Given how closely Nathaniel had been watching me, he was probably nearby. In fact, he should already be on his way home.
“No,” Nick stubbornly refused. With his feet glued to the ground, he didn’t move an inch despite how hard I pulled him.
As the seconds ticked by, there was simply nothing I could do. After shifting my gaze from the door to him, I had no choice but to relent.
“Are you sure an apology is all you’re looking for? And that you’re not trying to exact revenge?” I asked grimly.
“Yes,” Nick answered. “The child cannot lose their father.”
“Can I trust you, Nick?” Although I couldn’t find any flaw in his argument, I remained concerned.
“Definitely.” Nick’s smile widened, further emanating his sincerity.
Left without a choice, I decided to give the reckless idea a go. “Fine, wait here. I’ll give Nathaniel a call and get him to apologize to you.”
“All right,” Nick agreed before sitting on the sofa to wait.
Considering that he was at the peak of his masculinity, Nick had the bearing of a distinguished businessman looking to negotiate with his rival.
