My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) novel Chapter 1077

This was the first time that Naomi had seen Nelson after the incident.

He seemed to have lost a lot of weight as he looked haggard.

She had no idea if it was because he had not recovered yet, but he looked a little tired.

He looked nothing like the high-spirited CEO in the past. Naomi thought that she could remain calm, but when she saw him, her heart still stung.

"Are you doing fine?" Nelson asked in a hoarse voice.

Naomi was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses. She put aside the worries in her eyes and said lightly.

She concealed the worry in her eyes and said lightly, "I'm doing pretty well!"

"That's good!" Nelson pressed his lips together. "As long as you're fine, I'm glad!"

Naomi frowned before replying, "As I've said, there's no need to say those words to me anymore. I won't be stupid enough to be tricked by you anymore! Please maintain some distance!"

Nelson said with a bitter smile, "Okay."

After that, the prison guards behind him took him away.

In the meeting room, Monique looked much better as compared to Nelson.

She did not look like a death sentence prisoner who was about to be executed. Instead, she looked extremely calm. Upon seeing Nelson enter, she smiled and waved to him.

Monique acted exactly like the past bossy leader she used to be.

"You're here?"

Not saying anything, Nelson sat down opposite her.

"What can I do for you?"

"What do you mean? Can't I meet you without any agendas? Besides, I'm going to be sentenced to death. Can't we go on a trip down memory lane together?"

Nelson was still expressionless as he replied, "It's what you asked for!"

Monique shrugged her shoulders and said, "You're really an ungrateful person. No matter how bad of a person I am, I saved you when you were in trouble, didn't I? Why don't you remember anything good about me?"

Nelson snorted, "You're the one who destroyed all of the good parts of yourself in my eyes!"

Monique was slightly stunned upon hearing his words.

Recollecting a memory, her eyes twitched slightly ."Someone once said that to me before."

The main reason why Nelson had not paid much attention to Monique was because he did not have the slightest interest in her at all! Therefore, he naturally would not care about her words and actions.

However, Monique was looking for a companion and was eager to speak her mind. At that moment, Nelson was to play that role.

She stood up and scanned his face.

"Actually, you really look like that person." She shook her head and said, "No, your eyes and eyebrows don't look like him, but you have a similar character to his."

Nelson frowned and asked, "What tricks are you playing again?"

"Aren't you curious about why I asked people to stop the car that day?" Monique said. "If I didn't stop the car that day, maybe you wouldn't have had the chance to work with the police and arrest me!" "So, do you regret doing so?"

"I also knew that my brother was in a bad mood because he was reluctant to do those things. I promised him that I would stop, but that day I suddenly had a good opportunity. If I was able to make that business deal happen, I could leave Thomas and do everything myself. In the future, my brother would not need to worry about me!"

After a pause, Monique's eyes darkened.

She seemed to have returned to that moment.

"That morning, I saw that he wasn't awake yet, so I thought about going to work early. When he woke up, I would be back! Therefore, I was in a hurry. As soon as I got into the car, I immediately stepped on the accelerator and left. However, I didn't know that he had followed me out. When I stepped on the accelerator, he suddenly rushed out and stopped in front of my car. I was driving too fast and I wasn't able to stop the car at all. Then, he was..."

Monique said with a choked voice, "Everyone thought that I killed him myself. Everyone thought that I killed my own family member for money and glory, even Thomas. Later, he praised me in front of everyone and rewarded me for having good work ethics. F*ck him! No one can compare to my brother, no one!"

Nelson understood, he asked, "So, you treated me that way because I resemble him?"

Monique shook her head and said, "I've told you, you don't look like him. It's just that you are as kind as him."

Nelson said with a bitter smile, "Kind?"

He did not reckon that he was kind.

"You are kind, as you did not hurt Naomi. However, it's too late. Let me tell you, in this world, good people will only end up dying. Since we're all going to die no matter if we're good or bad, why not do the things we want?"

Nelson was noncommittal as he replied, "Since you've said so, it means that you haven't really seen through everything. Since you said that your brother didn't die because of you, then let me ask you this : if you hadn't worked for Thomas but listened to your brother instead and lived a simple life together, would he have died?"

Monique was stunned. As if she had been struck by something, she began to show a horrified look on her face.

"Nonsense! It's not like that! My brother was killed by Thomas..."

"You're deceiving yourself! At that time, you could have supported him with your own power. It was your own choice to decide whether to be a good or bad person. Being a good person doesn't mean that you will definitely be bullied. The important thing is how you make your choice! Some people are still good people after experiencing many hardships! Some people have evil thoughts, and will always say that they had been forced to commit those crimes. Don't you think that's ridiculous?"
