That particular gesture made Nicole uncomfortable.
They’re poking fun at me again!
Rocky froze for a moment. “You’re right, Miss. I’m sure Nikki is looking for a lifelong partner, am I right?”
Nicole stared at Sylphiette and Evan’s linked arms before walking over to Rocky and pulling him into her embrace.
“That’s right. I just need someone who will love me wholeheartedly for the rest of my life.”
Boasting about your relationship? Easy!
Evan narrowed his eyes before pushing Sylphiette aside and walking into the house.
Sylphiette ran after him without missing a beat.
Nicole pulled away from Rocky too as she stared at Evan’s retreating figure.
Rocky noticed it and smiled. “Do you like him?”
Nicole shook her head. “I don’t. Please don’t make things up.”
Rock grinned. “Fate can’t be forced. You’ll only get to keep those you’re bound with. Why don’t you give me a chance, Nikki?”
‘Fate can’t be forced’…
Were Evan and I never meant to be?
What in the world was I trying to do just now?
A bout of jealousy had taken over her mind the moment she saw Sylphiette link arms with Evan.
Was I really that jealous of them?
She wanted nothing more but to slap herself at that very moment. He told me that he’ll never fall in love with me!
I have no right to be jealous!
Reluctant to do it in front of Rocky, she imagined herself smacking her cheeks in regret.
“What’s wrong, Nikki?” Rocky asked, pulling her back into reality.
