Chapter 0397
Nicholas and I had never gotten a divorce? Nicholas words echoed repeatedly in my mind. My ears rang so loudly that I lost the ability to think
Yasmine quickly rushed over to hold my cold hands. It was obvious she also could not believe what she was hearing.
1 looked up at Pete. He quietly nodded as if confirming to me Nicholas‘ words. We had never truly gotten
a divorce
If I had never gotten a divorce from him, then what were those two hours of standing in the rain for? What was that divorce certificate for?
I thought I had divorced Nicholas, so I wanted to give Pete a chance. But what was all of that for?
I had even returned to Nicholas’s side and allowed myself to become an obedient booty call for him, allowing him to… But what was all of it for?
No wonder Pete had held himself back despite pursuing me so fiercely. We had also never done anything intimate with each other.
Turns out, that wasn’t because he respected me, but because he knew I was still bonded to Nicholas by mamage. So, he couldn’t do it!
That was why Nicholas was so confident that Pete and I would never have a future together. It wasn’t until I was serious and agreed to move into a different city with Pete and leave him did he start to panic.
Tears began pouring out the corner of my eyes as I lowered my head and smiled. They were both lying to
me
Inside the powder room, Annie’s crying intensified as she laughed maniacally. “So what if you two haven’t gotten a divorce? Pete and Ariana had already run away together.
“Mr. Hawk, you’ll still be able to save your pride and ego if you bring me out. Am I wrong?”
Nicholas looked at her coldly with undisguisable disdain. His gaze was like a sharp knife, piercing into Annie as he said, “How do you think a normal man would feel when he sees the woman he loves being unable to stand after being so thoroughly ravaged?
“Do you think that he’ll still have feelings for her? Even if Pete saw her, he’d only find her depraved and disgusting.”
Depraved and disgusting… At that moment, I truly regretted standing there, because not only was I not alone, but my friends and even a few strangers were there.
His not wanting me to attend Pete’s wedding was just one of the reasons. If I was stubborn and insisted on going. Pete would only see me and think of me as “depraved and disgusting“.
