After staying quiet for a while, Alfred finally said, “I promised we’d chase the aurora together, but I left you alone in Glacieroth. Sorry about that.”

Nella blinked, surprised he was actually apologizing.

She never thought someone like Alfred, who always acted like he was above everyone, would apologize first.

So he did realize he messed up. That must be why he lowered his proud head to admit it.

Was she supposed to feel touched or thankful and just forgive him for how cold he’d been that day?

Nella let out a bitter laugh. She suddenly understood she didn’t need to bother with his attitude

at all.

Alfred had already made things crystal clear from the beginning.

He wasn’t planning on marriage. What they had was just a deal.

He never promised love, and she knew that. She signed that three-year contract on her own.

So, even if he kept picking Zoey over her again and again, she had no excuse to feel upset.

He never cared about her in the first place.

She walked into this gamble herself. If she lost, she paid up. That was the game.

Nella nodded lightly. “Yeah. It’s fine. I understand.”

“So… you’re not upset?”

When Alfred asked, he stared right into her eyes like he wanted to catch any tiny reaction.

But all he got was her confused face. She shot back, “Upset about what?”

“I … ”

His answer got stuck in his throat. The words he wanted to say just wouldn’t come out.

Right, what could she even be upset about?

He left to save Zoey because she might have died.

He went to save someone. He didn’t betray Nella or anything. Why would she mind?

And honestly, Alfred didn’t even know what kind of answer he wanted.

If she were upset, he’d feel bad.

If she wasn’t upset, he’d feel even worse.

So what was he trying to do?

He stared at her calm, steady face, and something uneasy rose in him-along with an annoying flicker of anger.

That pointless spark of anger made him push again.

“You’re really not mad?” he repeated.

Nella almost laughed, but a sharp heat still shot up inside her chest.

She had tried so hard to tell herself not to care anymore.
