In My Mind In His World

Chapter 0345

It was a grand fireworks display for the whole city to watch. Some netizens joked, “I wonder which CEO is appeasing his sweet wife now.”

A few observant netizens noticed that this fireworks show was identical to a recent one. Nicholas and Jasmine’s names once again appeared in the public eye after a long absence.

A user called “makeherjealous” sent me a private message on Instagram. “Don’t listen to them. All the fireworks are just for you alone

The moment I looked up. Nicholas had just turned his phone face down on the table. He gulped hard. I wondered if he was nervous or something else.

Thinking about the previous user “shittyrocket” and his current username, some buried memories resurfaced. Since Nicholas used this account to message me, it meant he felt it was time to clear the air

on some matters

If all those previous “ridiculous” events were Nicholas’s attempts to make me jealous through Jasmine, I really did not want him to bring this up. In fact, I wished this could be buried forever.

Times had changed. His actions could be called childish now, but I was the only one who knew the helplessness I felt then. Even now, I could not bring myself to smile at him.

Nicholas’s phone suddenly rang. In the quiet room, I accidentally overheard Jasmine’s voice. “Nicholas, were these fireworks specially set off to see me off?

“You should have told me earlier. I was just taking a shower. When I heard the noise, I rushed to the window without even getting dressed, but I still missed the beginning… But I’m still very touched.”

I continued working on my phone and pretended nothing had happened.

“You’re overthinking it, but I wish you a safe journey,” Nicholas said coldly before hanging up. He sighed before standing up to prepare some food in the kitchen. He never mentioned this matter to me again.

The next day, I attended the final dinner as agreed.

I had not discussed this with Nicholas, and I did not know if he was going to accompany Jasmine. I chose a different dress to avoid matching with him and making everyone uncomfortable. I left without calling him.

Guests were to walk across a simple red carpet.

As the host, Jasmine introduced me, saying, “Wow, I didn’t expect Ms. Jones, who only participated in one episode of our show, to be here.

“I heard this show was originally created with you as the main guest. I wonder why you didn’t participate. in the subsequent recordings. Now that you’re back on set, do you have anything to say to everyone?

Sparks of confrontation immediately flew the moment we met. Why could I not participate in the recordings? Shouldn’t she know the reason better than anyone else?

Before I could speak, Jasmine jumped in, “Perhaps it’s because Ms. Jones, who’s usually so rational, got shy after we found out how lovesick she is.

“Let’s ask Ms. Jones to take her seat. After all, it’s all in the past. It’s not good for either party to keep bringing it up in public.”

She seemed quite understanding. A simple phrase “all in the past” could lead to many assumptions.

Even though I had recently deliberately created scenes of dating Nicholas at restaurants, it was not as convincing as Jasmine’s “all in the past” comment.

Suddenly, the audience started buzzing with discussion. They looked at me as if I was an attention- seeking woman.

I looked around and could not help but think of Pete at this moment. Once, he had rushed out from the audience seats to defend me. Even though he did not do anything for me, it was enough to move me.

I glanced around again. I no longer had a knight in shining armor. I wondered how he was doing now, and if he had already gone abroad.

Lost in thought, the whole venue suddenly erupted in commotion. Nicholas entered calmly from the side door. Each of his steps exuded confidence.

His gaze was deep and determined yet powerful. When he looked at me, he smiled and nodded gracefully.

His casual and unrestrained demeanor made it impossible for anyone to imagine how passionate this man could be when kissing a woman.
