In My Mind In His World

Chapter 0216

I understood what Nicholas meant. He was telling me that the boy who once claimed to like me was not as loyal as I thought–just like

Pete.

Nicholas approached Pete intimidatingly before saying softly, “Just make sure you know whi women you can touc:., and which you

can’t!”

He brushed off Pete’s shoulder as if there v..

me non–existent

dust. He then turned and left without looking back.

Watching Nicholas’s retreating figure, my eyes stung. Pete got into the car and cursed, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. My dad might have arranged blind dates for me, but I didn’t co to a single one!”

Exhausted, I rubbed my temples as my head was hurting. If only Nicholas could be as steadfast in choosing me as Pete was, I might have been so happy now.

“Ms. Ari, when are you divorcing Nicholas? Come home with me, and my dad won’t pressure me to get married anymore!”

“What are you even saying…”

I sighed. Though the Shelman family was not as prominent as the Hawk family, they were still among the top families in the country.

How would they possibly let their son marry a divorced woman, let alone the former daughter–in–law of their family friend?

The idea itself was mind–blowing. Besides, their family would never accept someone else’s children.

Pete kept chattering, but I could not focus on a word. My mind was

occupied by Nicholas’s departing figure and the girls clinging to him.

As the car finally started moving I messaged Daniel. I figured that! had completed the task of finding women for Nicholas. Whether or not he slept with them, at least I had made my stance clear.

Daniel seemed pleased with my actions. He said he would send me the gift he had promised to give me

meant the assets

released a public

I did not really bother myself with it I assume he had promised before. But to my surprise statement severing ties with Claudia after Propped me off at my apartment.

He was even more ruthless and cold–hearted than I imagined. The statement vaguely reported her past relationships with multiple male classmates of hers and her recent exposé targeting Jasmine. Though it omitted anything related to the Hawk far ily, it revealed everything else.

Looking at those words, I did not feel really happy. Perhaps it was because it wasn’t Nicholas who had done that for me.

Those were things even the bedridden Daniel could find out about. Yet, Nicholas had pretended to be oblivious for so long.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a key in the lock. Nicholas strode in, his eyes red with anger.

Seeing me sitting on the couch with my phone, he questioned me through gritted teeth, “Now I know why you were so eager to obey my father. You’re satisfied now, aren’t you?”

I blinked. I finally realized that Daniel had not spared me after all. He had said before that he could accept any woman other than me.

Placing my hand on my belly, I remembered Daniel’s words. He said I could not bear children, so I was not a good match for Nicholas.

Looking at the harsh Nicholas before me, I chuckled softly. He must have hated me so much now.
