Chapter 2244 He Doesn't Care
Somehow, Nicole wanted to confide in Jeff when she clearly could not even say these to her family.
Perhaps it was because they were at sea, and he was a complete stranger.
Thus, she could calmly let out her emotions.He could also analyze the reasons for her emotional changes from the perspective of a bystander.
Anyway, they would not meet again in the future.
She would just treat him as an object she could vent her feelings to.It was along time before Jeff responded.
His voice was slightly hoarse and dry.
"How do I resemble him? Do we look alike?"
Nicole shook her head.Her voice was distant and gentle.
"No, you two don’t look alike at all.I don’t know.Maybe it’s the temperament."
Nicole was also confused.How could Jeff's expression be exactly the same as Clayton's? Jeff relaxed slightly.He sat back in the wheelchair, folded his hands in front of him, and looked far away.His voice was calm as he said, "That’s really a coincidence.If there's a chance, I hope to meet him and say hello."
Nicole’s face changed slightly as if her heart had been stabbed viciously.Her face turned pale from the pain.
"You may not get that chance anymore..."
Her voice trembled a little as she suppressed her emotions.
Jeff immediately regretted what he had said.He forgot how much Clayton’s departure would affect Nicole.He was suffering, and so was she.
However, at this moment, he gritted his teeth and pretended to be nonchalant and ignorant.He asked her lightly, "Oh? Why?"
He was so cruel.
Although he was facing the sea at this time, he was not attracted to the sea anymore.
Nicole’s voice was soft, but it did not sound like her usual voice.Her gentle voice spoke the harsh truth.
"He may be in another part of this world, or he may not be in this world anymore."
After speaking, the air felt stagnant for a moment.
The sea breeze was cold.
The surrounding noises seemed to freeze, and the two of them seemed to be trapped in an airtight space.
No one could penetrate their space.
Jeff felt that his heart seemed to clench.
He was trembling as he felt the pain accumulating.
Even if he was facing the person who he thought about all day and night, he could not reveal his true identity.
A perfect person like Nicole should have a perfect life.
The person by her side should be decent, glamorous, and capable to accompany her and take care of her for the rest of her life.
However, that person should not be his current self.He could no longer walk upright, run, and jump freely.He could not even carry her or Chatty.
If he appeared in front of her at this time, he would only bring her humiliation and mockery.
Even if she did not care for three to five years, what about ten or twenty years later? Would she really have no regrets if she sees the happiness of other people’s families? Would she regret that he did not die in the earthquake? Why drag his disabled body and stay in her life like that? Why should he stain her glamorous life with his existence? He knew that Nicole was not that kind of person, but he cared.
He cared about other people’s sympathetic gazes toward Nicole and Chatty.
Others would pity the perfect mother and daughter for having a disabled husband and father.
Chatty would become inferior and sensitive because of it, and she would hate him more as she grew up.
All of that affection would gradually be exhausted.
He would have wished to die in that earthquake if Nicole or Chatty had even the slightest thought of regret and inferiority.
That was the sharpest and coldest blade that could cut him into pieces.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
I liked this book and wanted to read it. As I have moved into the chapters, I have found that it is unreadable due to typographical errors, including sentences that are incomplete, complete gibberish, missing elements. This is not just some misspelled words. It is actually unreadable. If you decide to fix this, let me know and I will read it....
