He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 383

He stuffed the cigarette back into his pocket, walked quickly to her side, and softened his movements. "Did you hear that? Moonlight is fine. Lucas doesn't have the guts to lie to me. We'll see her in a few hours. Come on, give me a smile?"

He poked her cheek with his fingertip, but she just looked up silently. Her gaze even went straight past him, looking at Lydia standing not far behind him.

Nelson's chest felt terribly tight. He gently pulled her into his arms. "If you would just cry a little, I wouldn't feel this awful."

Lydia watched him coaxing Juniper in such a submissive manner. She had never seen Nelson like this; it was unbelievable.

She had no idea Nelson possessed such a humble side!

Lydia clenched her fists tightly. But she wasn't stupid. Based on her past experiences, saying more now would only lead to more mistakes. She had no idea what kind of stunt Lucas was pulling, so staying silent was her best option.

But Nelson clearly had no patience for her. "How did Juniper get in your way, and what exactly have you been doing behind the scenes?"

Lydia let out a falsely mournful laugh. "How could she get in my way? With my status, why would I stoop to her level? Nelson, I know framing her last time made you look at me unfavorably. But besides that, I haven't done anything else. I have no idea what crazy stunt Lucas is pulling. I know absolutely nothing about tonight."

Nelson suddenly laughed, staring at her coldly. "When you begged for Lucas last time, you said you two were very close. Now you're trying to distance yourself?"

Lydia cursed Lucas a thousand times in her head, but she really didn't know what had happened.

She simply shut her mouth, looking somewhat desperate. "I'm not going to argue with you. I know you're angry right now. Focus on comforting Juniper first. I'm leaving. If you find any other evidence later, feel free to throw it in my face."

With that, she lowered her head to leave.
