“Ugh, this sucks!” Nicole glared at Evan coldly.
Evan was bewildered. “What happened?”
“You have to cheek to ask me? What exactly do you want? Sir Musgrave is my life savior, and yet you just cruelly chased him away.”
Evan was irked at her outburst. In his mind, her fury was pure vindication that she had feelings for Stephen.
“Seems like someone really wants to meet Sir Musgrave.”
The emphasis on “really” unnerved Nicole. Stammering, she frantically explained that she merely viewed Stephen as a parental figure.
But her explanation simply fell on deaf ears. Evan was already too upset by her current behavior to care about any attempted verbal defense.
With a menacing smirk plastered on his face, he enunciated each word slow, “Well, it doesn’t matter what he is to you now. You will not have a chance to ever meet him ever again anyway.”
Nicole was struck dumb.
What did he just say? I can never meet Sir Musgrave again? This bas*ard must have threatened him or something.
Something else also bothered her, the fact that she would not be able to repay Stephen. She literally owed him her life.
She lashed out at Evan, “What right do you have to do this? Don’t you remember that Sir Musgrave literally saved my life?”
“Simple, it’s because you’re my wife and the mother of my children! I have every right in the world to interfere in this budding relationship of yours and severe any ties before things develop further!”
Nicole was once again left wordless.
B-Budding relationship?
Absolute nonsense.
“Evan Seet, you’re an ungrateful jerk and hypocrite!”
Her heart thumped fiercely against her chest as fury boiled within her.
But once again, her words had no effect on Evan. He was unbothered by her rebuke.
Refusing to engage him any further, Nicole lay down on the hospital bed and buried herself underneath the blanket.
The heated exchange left Evan with one conclusion, Nicole really cared a lot for Stephen.
She cared for him so much that she was willing to throw such harsh words at me.
This made the man even firmer about never letting the two meet again, even if it meant that Nicole would hate him.
