The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2875

"Come on, Nolan! It should be me by your side. How could you do this to me? Aren't you being a bit cruel?" Dahlia's hand rested on his knee, her voice a mix of accusation and desperation.

Nolan looked at her hand, feeling a bit dazed by the memories it evoked. "When we were kids, whenever one of us messed up, we'd do this... ask for forgiveness, just like that. After all these years, you've kept the habit."

Dahlia's eyes lit up as he mentioned the past. She nodded eagerly. "Yeah, do you remember how great things were between us? Does Regina even know about your little quirks? She doesn't, right? Only I do. I’m the one who's meant for you!"

"There's no point in saying these things anymore, Dahlia. My heart's made up. Besides, Regina and I are married. We're husband and wife. You need to stop doing things that'll hurt her. She's generous, sure, but this kind of thing... it makes her jealous. And then I’m the one who has to deal with the fallout when I get home."

Nolan said this with a smile that only a truly happy man could wear, a complete contrast to the tension of the moment.

Dahlia's facade crumbled at the sight of his smile, and she stood up abruptly, her voice rising. "So, you really made up your mind to marry her, huh?"

"It's not about making up my mind. Dahlia, we are married. You need to accept reality. We can't go back to how things were, especially not after the choice you made back then."

"You just can’t forgive me, can you? What kind of man holds a grudge like this?" Dahlia shot back, frustration clear in her voice.

Had Nolan not known Dahlia so well, he might have laughed at her accusation. How could he be petty for not welcoming her back with open arms after she cheated? No, Nolan was just an ordinary guy, not a saint.
