The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 565

Freddy was entirely blindsided by her words. He stood frozen, staring at her with a look of utter dismay.

"Nathalie..."

He opened his mouth to argue, but the moment he met her detached gaze, the words died in his throat.

As a breeze swept past, Freddy felt a genuine chill settle into his bones.

Nathalie gave him a calm look, and having said her piece, she turned to walk away.

"Nathalie."

Freddy's voice chased after her, carrying a faint tremble. "What happened before was my fault. I failed to notice what was going on. But I was kept in the dark too. You can't just invalidate me entirely over this..."

He stepped toward her, his voice hoarse, his eyes filled with a heartbreaking sorrow.

Being shut out like this felt like a physical blow.

Nathalie stopped and turned back to face him. "Freddy, maybe we just aren't meant to be friends."

"But I thought we always had a great time together," Freddy said, staring at her intensely. "Or is Lance forcing you to cut ties with me?"

"This has nothing to do with him," Nathalie replied steadily. "I've finally found a little bit of peace. I just don't want to deal with any more turbulence."

Freddy looked utterly defeated. "So I don't have a single chance left?"

Seeing him play the role of a heartbroken man left Nathalie momentarily at a loss for words.

He made her feel as if she had committed some grand romantic betrayal.

But they were just friends.

Her eyes reflected a mix of complex emotions as she pressed her lips together. "Freddy, thank you for all your care in the past. I have things to do, so I'll be going now."

She didn't linger.

She couldn't afford any more wildcards in her life. She needed to train, toughen up, and prepare to face Sylvie Winter.

She had to get her revenge.
