Chapter 0352 What are you doing here ? I asked , staring between him and Nan .
Nan had a slight blush on her cheeks , and I had to fight to keep from smiling .
What do you think Im doing here ? He asked , raising his brows .
You gave me an address ; did you think I wouldnt use it ? You couldnt wait until we returned ? I asked , folding my arms across my chest .
I approved of him being here , but at the same time , I knew Nan came here to escape him and get some space .
I tried to gauge her reaction , but she was hard to read .
No , he said , his eyes meeting mine .
It couldnt wait .
I stared at him for a long time , seeing the sincerity in his eyes , before turning to Nan .
Can we talk ? I asked her ; she lifted her gaze to meet mine and then nodded ; a flicker of relief went through her eyes , and I knew she was grateful for the distraction .
I told Sammy Id be back before I grabbed Nan by the hand and pulled her along with me to a private area , away from wandering ears .
The second we were alone , I turned to face her .
After a beat of silence , I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into a tight hug , one I knew she needed desperately .
She waited no time , hugging me back , her shoulders shaking as she cried .
I cant tell whats happening , Nan .
Are you happy or sad ? I dont know , she admitted .
Im terrified .
Im not sure why hes even here .
He saw Tyler put his hands on me , and then he lost it … nearly killed him .
I brought him to the suite so I could clean up , and we started talking .noveldrama
I asked him if he wanted to reject me , and he straight up said he doesnt know .
My eyes grew wide as a wave of anger washed through me .
How could he say such a thing to her ? I pulled away from her but kept my hands on her arms ; tears were spilling out of her eyes .
Oh , Nan , I whispered , not sure what more to say .
She sniffled and wiped the tears off her cheeks with the back of her hand .
After that , the conversation kind of got awkward , and we were both having trouble breathing .
I found this garden the other day , and I thought it would be a nice place to continue this conversation .
So , here we are … making awkward small talk and not discussing the real problems .
Thats pretty much when you arrived .
