Nicole could not help but ask her own questions and looked at Livia strangely.
"You were getting along so well with Nathaniel back then, but you suddenly broke up with him. Even if there was a misunderstanding, you should've given Nathaniel a chance to solve it, but the speed in which you turned back to Keith really exceeded my expectations...”
Nicole spoke carefully. Livia did not react much and only had a dark and gloomy face.
It was as if that memory was a Pandora's box that she hid deeply.
However, for others, it was so insignificant.
There was a long silence.
Nicole thought that Livia would not answer. Maybe Nicole had been too impudent.
After all, this was Livia’s past. It would not be good to pry.
Just as she looked away to find Lil Michael, Livia suddenly opened her mouth.
"Nathaniel and I really weren't suitable for each other. Dating and marriage are two different things. His family is too far beyond my reach. The Ferguson family looks at me like I'm a scourge. You should know that Keith and Eric always had a good relationship. If Keith just says a few words to Eric, the Ferguson family will find a way to humiliate me in any way."
Her eyes reddened as she spoke.
Nicole stiffened slightly and seemed to realize something. Her eyes narrowed.
Livia gritted her teeth and continued.
“I can put up with all that, but Nathaniel's character is too free and uninhibited. He won't put his reins in the hands of anyone else. He knew the pressure I faced and told me to ignore it. Did you know? The most devastating time was when his mother came running t o my law firm. She didn't scold or insult me. Instead, she got down on her knees and begged me. She begged me to let her son go. When I told Nathaniel about this, he just said that he could stay unmarried for the rest of his life as long as he's with me. But before I could accept this matter, he went to South Africa for an adventure..."
Nicole was slightly stunned. Sure enough, no matter how well two people seemed to get along, one could not just look at the surface.
Back then, Nicole thought the two of them were like the ultimate lovebirds. They were head over heels for the other.
Nicole really thought that they could overcome all difficulties and start a new life.
In the end...
What Nathaniel loved the most was still an adventure.
From the time Nicole met Nathaniel on the deserted island, she should have known.
