The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1384

It was a cold and quiet night.

Cassie lay in bed, restless. She kept thinking about what happened those past few days.

Shawn arranging to have her kidnapped, Jordan saving her by accident, and even his weekly visits were upsetting Cassie a lot.

She suddenly felt an impulse to hide. She wanted to run away, where no one would find her. Cassie just wanted to live quietly.

If she couldn't be with Nick anymore, any other place was just the same. Cassie was shocked by this sudden realization. 'Does Nick play such an important role in my life?'

She ran the question over and over in her head. Cassie kept trying to take him out of her mind, but she never succeeded.

No matter how hard she tried to push him away or forget him, he was rooted deeply in her heart.

Cassie was getting even more distressed. She sat up, giving up on sleep, and took her phone out to browse at WeChat.

She clicked on Nick's profile. Their last interaction was a little more than two weeks ago. Those sweet messages were now like a huge slap in the face to her. It was mocking her and her innocence. She couldn't help but feel humiliated.

'Cassie, are you really still so hung up on him?' Cassie asked herself sadly.

Looking at Nick's photo, Cassie couldn't help but cry. She sniffed as she clicked on it, accessing his Moments.

Nick rarely updated his profile, and even more so his Moments. The last one he posted might have been more than two weeks ago. However, once she saw his Moments, her eyes widened.

This was new?

This was just posted. Nick published a new Moment.

It was of a high-class restaurant. Nick took a few photos of the menu, which Cassie looked at thoroughly. She didn't know what she was really looking for, but at least it kept her up to date with Nick's life.

Staring at the photos one by one, Cassie couldn't help but feel a little down and disappointed. These photos had nothing to do with his track.

Cassie was beginning to feel a little worse, wanting to close the Moments. She stared at the last one.

In the last photo, she saw a pair of hands on the right side, resting on the table. They were the hands of a woman.

The fingers were delicate and slender, like thin porcelain. Nick might not have intended to take a photo with her in it, and Cassie guessed that that was the case because the hands were further outside the frame.

Cassie tried to dismiss it, but she could already picture how beautiful the owner of the hands would be. She must have the sexiest figure, and the most beautiful face. "God damn it," Cassie whispered to herself.

Cassie tried to grip on her phone tightly but her hand kept trembling in anger and betrayal. She couldn't stop herself any longer; she zoomed the photo in to look carefully at the hand.

'Her hands are glowing and delicate. She takes good care of her skin. She doesn't seem like a relative.

Nick was having dinner with a woman. A woman! He even posted it on his Moments. But it's also as if he was hiding her; he didn't want to take a photo of her on purpose.

What is Nick trying to say or do? Is it deliberate? Did he mean to include just an inkling of a hint?' Cassie thought.

Cassie felt an ache in her heart. She closed the Moments, itching to call Nick to clarify.

It was already late at night, but she was dying to know who the woman was.
