My hatred seemed to pain Nathaniel, and his face fell instantly. Pointing his finger at me, he warned, “This is Ashton’s choice. The person you should hate is him, not me.”
Is he infuriated?
Looking at him calmly, I retorted, “No matter what he did, I couldn’t bring myself to hate him. What can you do about that? Perhaps the person who should accept the reality is you. You can’t make me fall out of love with him. As for you, even if you don’t do anything, people will still hate you and despise you. No one will ever love you and be willing to sacrifice for you.”
“Who said so?” Out of the blue, Nora stood up, trying to restore Nathaniel’s pride. She lifted her chin, looking like a proud peacock showing off its feathers. “As long as he needs it, I will die for him at any time.”
What a romantic confession, but unfortunately, it was ostentatious. She forgot that I was an old friend who knew of her obsession with Armond. “I believe in you. I’m not sure if I should tell you this, but I’ve identified the whereabouts of your son.”
In an instant, the noble and elegant look on her face disappeared. Turning into a loving mother, she hurriedly queried, “When? Where is he? Are you sure he’s my son?”
I did not answer and stared at her with a smile on my face.
Humans tend to show their truest feelings subconsciously. Even though Nora could sacrifice her life for Nathaniel, the people she cared about the most were still Armond and her son. There was no place for Nathaniel in her heart at all.
Soon, Nora realized that her lies had been exposed and she sat back embarrassedly. Lowering her head, she apologized to Nathaniel, “I’m sorry.”
However, Nathaniel was deep in thought and he ignored her.
What could be more exciting than making a powerful and wicked man speechless?
