Chapter 83
Alicia and Jason’s figures disappeared from view, and Nicolas couldn’t hold back anymore. He quickened his pace and followed them inside.
Maxwell saw this and turned to Nicole. “We should go check it out too,” he said, and he hurried after Nicolas.
Nicole stood there for a moment.
Since both men had their backs to her, her smile vanished completely.
She’d assumed Alicia was meeting Darren for dinner, but it turned out to be Jason instead, and he’d even come out personally to pick her up.
It had been a while since she’d seen him, but Jason was still as devastatingly handsome as ever. He carried himself with a quiet, restrained masculinity that drew attention without effort.
It was such a shame that someone so young had been confined to a wheelchair after that car accident.
Still, since her target was Nicolas, she supposed it wasn’t so bad that Jason would be stuck in that wheelchair for life. At least no other woman could have him.
She followed after them, too. She wanted to see if Nicolas and Alicia would start fighting right there in public.
Nicolas and Jason had been at odds since their school days, and after what happened with Kevin, they’d become outright enemies.
Now Alicia was seeing Jason behind Nicolas’ back, so he was definitely going to lose it.
Her only concern was that Alicia might be using Jason to play hard to get with Nicolas. ‘She’s probably trying to make him jealous, Nicole thought. ‘Using Jason as bait to draw Nicolas back in.
But she definitely wouldn’t let that plan succeed.
Alicia had barely pushed Jason a few steps when someone grabbed her arm from behind. She turned around and frowned at Nicolas. “Let go.”
Nicolas’ face was dark. “No. I want an explanation.”
Alicia raised an eyebrow. “Explanation for what?”
Nicolas glanced at Jason, who sat in the wheelchair looking completely unbothered, then turned back to her. “Why are you with him?”
Alicia couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “How is that any of your business?”
Nicolas stared at her. “Are you trying to make me jealous? Is that why you’re deliberately going out to dinner alone with him?”

Alicia rolled her eyes at him. “Who do you think you are? You’re just like your buddy. If you’re sick, go to the hospital and get treatment. Don’t come looking for me to act crazy.”
She yanked her arm free of Nicolas’ grip and pushed Jason’s wheelchair forward again.
But Nicolas wouldn’t let it go. This time, he looked directly at Jason, his face stormy. “What’s your real agenda getting close to her? Whatever issues you have with my brother and me, there’s no need to drag my fiancée into it.”
He was convinced that Jason had bad intentions toward Alicia.
Jason ignored him and tilted his head up to look at Alicia instead. “He’s your fiancé?”
Alicia laughed like she’d just heard the funniest joke in the world. “Don’t know him, not close, no idea where this psycho came from.”
The Moore and Hammond families had always assumed they were a couple and had plans for them to marry eventually.
But they’d never actually been engaged, and no marriage arrangement had ever been officially established or announced publicly.
