Chapter 269 What Am I Hoping For?

Finished

Nella was the only one who stayed completely detached from start to finish. When Zoey suddenly caused trouble, Nella said nothing at all. She watched like it had nothing to do with her.

That short incident passed in a silent, unspoken agreement among everyone present. It was as if nothing had happened.

During dinner, there were performances by singers and dancers.

All of them were top celebrities, bright and glamorous, impossible to ignore.

They quickly drew everyone’s attention away and erased the awkward moment from earlier.

But Alfred had no interest in watching. His eyes looked unfocused. His mind was clearly elsewhere.

Camelia’s voice kept ringing in his ears, loud and annoying.

“Nella, look! Eight-pack abs.”

“Nella, this one’s good too. Do you like him? I can get his number for you.”

“Nella-”

The seat to Nella’s right had originally belonged to Regis, but Camelia had deliberately switched places.

She looked determined. If she didn’t successfully introduce a cute guy to Nella tonight, she clearly wasn’t giving up.

“Camelia, shut up.”

Alfred finally lost his patience and cut her off.

So that 50 million dollars earlier only bought him a few minutes of peace?

Camelia rolled her eyes. She thought about the 50 million she hadn’t even had time to enjoy yet. Then she glanced at her brother’s expression. In the end, she didn’t dare push her luck.

“I’m just trying to cheer Nella up,” she muttered.

The next second, a large piece of meat was stuffed into her mouth.

“Eat your food,” Priscilla said sharply, shooting her daughter a warning look.

Nella paused briefly, then shook her head.

Alfred’s eyes lit up instantly. “Nella—”

“There’s no forgiveness between us,” Nella said calmly.

“Alfred, I’ve never hated you.”

Those words didn’t bring him relief.

Instead, the bitterness and despair in Alfred’s eyes grew even stronger.

No Renewal My Contract Husband

Chapter 270 Burning Hatred

Alfred understood what Nella meant, even though she didn’t say it out loud.

“You just don’t love me,” she said softly. “So what right do I have to hate you, Alfred?”

She looked at him with a small smile.

Finished

From the moment she chose to sign that contract, she had already given up the right to blame him or resent him.

“So there’s no need to talk about ‘forgiveness’ between us,” she continued calmly. “Stop going in circles over this. Go home. I need to rest too.”

After saying that, she didn’t wait to see how Alfred felt. She opened the door, held Marshal in her arms, and walked inside.

Outside, Alfred leaned against the wall in silence. His tall, straight body slowly bent forward, inch by inch.
