Chapter 0199
It had been about a week since I last saw holas. I hadn’t received any messages from him either. He disapped since he threatened
me and let me drown in fear for a week.
Our lives were no longer intertwined. It was just like how things used to be. If I hadn’t fought that hard, I wouldn’t be able to see him at all.
I was glad he didn’t actually go after the people I care about though. People who were apart like we were should not have any more interactions. That being said, he didn’t seem surprised to see me
there
In fact, he looked off when he saw me there. I got the feeling that I didn’t look much better either. The bottom line was that meeting was likely something neither party wanted. If that were the case, then there was no need for me to pause or greet him.
His tall figure blocked all the lights overhead, casting a huge shadow. I acted as though I saw nothing. When I stepped into that shadow, I felt as though its darkness had absorbed every bit of warmth inside me. I shivered and hurried to get through that shadow.
However, when I was walking past Nicholas, he gripped my wrist. His grip was very tight, so I didn’t need to check to know that my wrist had reddened.
He pushed me and had my back against the wall. His entire body was pressed against mine. His scent was just as aggressive as it wafted toward me. It didn’t smell like tea. Instead, it smelled like a
cigarette.
When he tilted his head down, that scent became more obvious, and
I knew he had smoked.
“Nicholas!”
I reached out and put my hand over my womb. 1. o discreetly put some distance between us.
It didn’t matter if it was the scent of the cigarette or the pressure on my body. Both were dangerous to me, given my current
circumstances.
His breathing was even, but he didn’t speak. The emotional pressure on me was on. I glared at him and was silently going all out as well. In a way, I was protesting without uttering a word.
“I had a bet with my dad.)
Just as I thought he wouldn’t say a word, he suddenly spoke up.
I was taken aback. I didn’t understand why he was telling me about the stupid game between him and his dad.
Hence, my tone was hostile as I demanded, “Let me go!”
He stopped breathing momentarily. It was as though he was trying to suppress his anger and was condoning my unreasonable behavior. He asked, “Aren’t you even a little curious about what the
bet is?”
His slightly icy finger lifted my chin. His gaze broke through the tension in the air and found my eyes
A stranger would definitely assume that Nicholas would kiss me at the very next second. Our position was definitely suggestive If a camera was present, it would surely capture that stunning image.
Unfortunately, I was the only one who was aware of the hostility in his dark brown eyes. There wasn’t even a hint of love.
