The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 1742

Livia narrated calmly with her head down, as if experiencing the pain of the past all over again.

“Was it my fault? Not long after we broke up, Nathaniel came to apologize. He said that he knew who drugged that glass of wine. His mother was the one who did it. He said that he was willing to marry m e and hoped that I would forgive his mother. I was already pregnant at that time. I didn't know what to d o. I told him that I was pregnant with another man's child and asked him if he was still willing to marry m e."

Nicole’s eyes flickered, and her expression grew slightly cold.

"He refused?"

Livia shook her head. She held back the tears in her eyes and took a deep breath.

"He hesitated for a minute and agreed. During that minute, I stood in front of him feeling like I was being lynched. I felt like my life had never been so miserable. I'd rather go back and marry Keith than have anything to do with that man. At least, I don't love Keith, so he can't hurt me. But for Nathaniel, he was the one who saved me from the abyss, then pushed me right back into hell."

After Livia spoke, the two women remained silent for a long, long time.

Nicole’s heart sank. She felt remorseful for asking that question.

It turned out that it was not as hateful as it seemed.

Livia had always been the victim in this situation. She had been struggling, but there was no longer anyone t o save her from the abyss.

Not every woman was as lucky as Nicole, who had the strength to overcome all the difficulties she faced.

Livia was silent for a long time and suddenly smiled.

"At least I retaliated once, and I'm not that stupid anymore. Now... For the sake of the child, I won't take the initiative to destroy the life I have today. Keith really did change a lot. He comes home on time, takes the initiative to take care of me, and sends me flowers every day. This is the life I used to dream of having, and now I'm living it. Although it's meaningless, I can still hang on. At least in our family of three, two people would be truly happy."

The only unhappy person in that relationship was Livia.

Nicole did not know what to say. Her chest felt stuffy and dreary beyond comparison.

A little girl in pigtails ran over panting and she hugged Livia.

"Aunt Livia, I'm exhausted! I wanna go play on the carousel..."
