Chapter 120 Still Have Feelings

Katrina had gone completely pale.

How could Chase go looking for another woman? How dare he?

“Damn, Nina–you really outdid yourself this time.”

Caleb stood off to the side, scrolling through his phone. “This story’s already number one on the trending list.”

Nina, meanwhile, was browsing through dresses in the boutique, glancing between a few options. “I think this champagne–colored one looks great. What do you think?”

“I’m talking about Chase making headlines, and you’re talking about dresses?”

Caleb looked completely exasperated.

Nina held the gown up in front of herself, checking the fit. “Yeah, this one’s nice. I’ll take it.”

“Of course, Ms. Tann.”

Sloane stepped in to wrap the dress for her.

“I’m serious,” Caleb went on. “Are you trying to break up Chase and his wife? Don’t tell me you still have feelings for him.”

Still have feelings?

Nina smiled.

For the past five years, she hadn’t forgotten Chase for a single day.

But what she couldn’t let go of wasn’t love–it was the pain of losing her home and her child, and making sure Chase and Katrina experienced that same kind of loss.

“You’re overthinking it,” she said lightly. “Go pay for it. Consider it your birthday gift to me this year.”

“You’re really saving me money,” Caleb muttered, heading to the counter to swipe his card.

At that moment, a man walked into the store with a woman draped over his arm.

He spotted Nina right away and strolled over with a teasing grin. “Well, if it isn’t Nina from the

Tann family.”

Nina turned at the sound of his voice. A casually dressed young man stood there, handsome but smug, with a girl in short, revealing shorts leaning against him.

She frowned slightly. “And you are?”

“Nina, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten me.”

Miles Huntington clearly hadn’t expected that. He let out a cold laugh. “Three years ago, you turned me down overseas. And now? Looks like you’re not doing so well. I heard you’re about to marry that peacock from the Rhodes family? Tch. Didn’t think you’d stoop so low- marrying an illegitimate son of the Rhodes family.”

Nina’s expression cooled as he spoke.

The girl at his side leaned lazily against him and chimed in, “So you’re the Nina who rejected Miles? Why are you all alone? I’ve heard that heir from the Rhodes family is surrounded by women. A bunch of my friends have already been with him. Ms. Tann, you really don’t have high standards, do you?”

Faced with their deliberate taunts, Nina only smiled. “Oh, I remember now. Miles, right? Back when I was studying abroad, there was this guy who wouldn’t take a hint–blocking my way like some street thug, writing me love letters, refusing to back off no matter how many times I rejected him. It wasn’t until Caleb beat him up that he finally got the message. What was it- lost a tooth, didn’t you? Didn’t you learn your lesson back then? Want to try your luck again?”

“You-!”

Miles’s expression darkened. “Nina, don’t get so full of yourself. Everyone knows Caleb’s just the Rhodes family’s dirty little secret. If you think marrying him will get you a share of their fortune, you’d better think again. They shipped him overseas back then just to get rid of the problem. And here you are, throwing yourself at him.”

“What does my life–or Caleb’s–have to do with you?” Nina shot back. “If I remember right, the Huntington family can’t even get in line to curry favor with the Rhodes family here in Linholt. So what gives you the right to look down on him? I’m in a good mood today, so I won’t make a scene. But if you keep running your mouth and insulting Caleb in front of me, I’ll knock every tooth out of your mouth so you won’t be able to say a word.”

She knew Caleb would be back any second. She also knew how sensitive he was about his place in the Rhodes family. No matter how the Rhodeses treated him, outsiders would always see him as the other woman’s son.

She had no intention of escalating things–or letting Miles rip open that wound.

Just as Nina turned to leave, Miles pressed on, unwilling to let it go. “Nina, you’re defending Caleb this hard–what, because he’s just like Jensen? Another illegitimate son? I heard you adopted Jensen back then. And what did that get you? He ditched your Tann family and went back to the Grey family to become their heir. After all these years, he hasn’t had anything to do with you. Figures–people like them are all ungrateful bast-”
