The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 599

It wasn't until he stopped right in front of her that the sounds of the world rushed back in.

The chatter of the crowd, the vibrant energy of the market, and his slightly confused voice. "What are you looking at?"

Nathalie swung her fist, slamming it hard into his chest. Tears instantly welled in her eyes. "Where the hell did you go?!"

Caught completely off guard by the blow, Lance clutched his chest, wincing before shooting a look at Nicol. "Didn't you tell her?"

Nicol's jaw hit the floor.

Dude, seriously?!

Was this how they were playing it?

Wasn't Lance the one who wanted to vanish just to see how she would react?

Why was the blame suddenly being dumped on him?!

Nicol pointed at himself. "I..."

His eyes went wide, ready to defend himself, but the moment he met Lance's dark, predatory glare, the words died in his throat.

Dammit!

He was being threatened.

If he dared to tell Nathalie the truth, he would be fired on the spot.

Not only that, but this manipulative bastard would probably blacklist him across the entire industry.

How was he supposed to get work after that?!

Nicol was fuming internally, but when he met Nathalie's gaze, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and spout absolute nonsense. "Well, you see... that's actually what I was trying to tell you earlier. I just wanted to test if you really wanted to divorce him..."

It was the worst excuse in the history of excuses.

Nathalie's face turned to ice. "Is this a game to you?" she asked coldly.

Nicol instantly folded, bowing his head. "I'm sorry, Ms. Nathalie."
