Chapter 82 Couldn't Sleep Last Night
"I already have your children!" Troy and Nina are stunned at the same time.
The waves are still lapping gently on the beach. It never changes and doesn't care about human feelings.
"Troy, I'm going back..."
Nina says faintly. She lowers her eyes. Her long lashes cast a thick shadow over her fair cheek. Troy can't see her face.
They are silent.
"I have to go." Nina raises her eyes and says to Troy. She tries not to let her voice express her emotions.
Troy hangs up. He looks at the tide in the distance and says nothing.
Abby is pregnant. He was drunk that day. She is pregnant. What qualifications does he have to keep Nina? He has no reason or qualification to say anything to keep her.
Nina is destined not to belong to him. They meet again three years later. He thinks it is a lucky return. He didn't expect God to play such a cruel joke on him. Dreams are always fragile.
Troy dares not to look at Nina. He is afraid that he will hold her in his arms and beg her to stay again.
Abby is pregnant. He has no joy of fatherhood at all. In this case, if he says he wants to be with Nina, it's an insult to Nina. What qualifications does he have to let her stay? He's going to lose Nina forever. He is heartbroken and slowly says, "OK, I'll take you back."
Nina wants to smile at Troy, but her face is too stiff to smile.
Isn't that good? Troy is going to be a father. She should congratulate him, right? But why is she so down.
They go to the direction of the villa in silence. They walk slowly as if they want to extend their time together for even a second.
Sooner or later, however, they will turn around to say goodbye and disappear into each other's eyes.
As soon as they get to the gate of the villa, Snowball jumps over with cheers.
Nina picks up Snowball and puts her face on its little face. "Snowball, I have to go. Goodbye!"
Troy stands by all the time and hears Nina say so. He says softly, "Nina, take Snowball! It's the gift I prepared for you."
"I..." Nina hesitates.
Abby also likes Snowball. If Troy gives Snowball to her, will Abby be upset?
"Nina, take it. Snowball loves you." Troy says, turning to the table next to him. He opens the drawer and takes out something.
"Nina, close your eyes. I have another present for you." Troy says softly. His amber eyes are full of sadness.
Nina refuses without thinking. "Troy, I accept Snowball. But I can't take anything else. Whatever you send, I don't want it."
Troy is disappointed. "Nina, are you mad at me? You blame me for not waiting for you, right?"
Nina's very upset. How could she be angry with Troy? She will never be angry with him. Because she disappeared first and gave up. She should have said sorry to Troy.
Troy unfolds his clenched palm, and what Nina sees is a unique jewelry box. Troy opens the jewelry box, and the bright light comes out of the box in an instant.
This is a unique diamond ring. There are seven diamonds embedded in the ring of platinum. In the middle is a four carat diamond. It has three diamond leaves on each side. The small leaves are delicate and elegant, setting off the big diamond in the middle. It glows with brilliance.
Both design and cutting are first-class. It's absolutely valuable. She can see that he has carefully chosen the unique style.
Troy pulls Nina's hand to put the ring on her. "Actually, I bought this ring three years ago. I wanted to use it to propose to you on your 18th birthday."
Nina instinctively clenches her hand to keep Troy from putting the ring on her.
"Troy, I really can't take it. You and Abby are getting married. Give it to her!"
Troy looks up at Nina. His amber eyes are full of gaunt blood. "This is the ring I bought for you. I can only give it to you."
"No, I really can't accept it. Troy, this gift is too expensive!"
Troy's face turns pale. There is a sad smile on his handsome face. He doesn't force Nina anymore and takes back his hand. Nina just breathes a sigh of relief and thinks he has been convinced. But Troy throws the ring out of the window!
"Troy!" Nina's face turns pale, too. Her eyes are wide open! Troy throws away such a valuable ring!
She blames herself. Maybe she should pretend to take it and put it back in the drawer later.
"You don't want it. It's useless and of no value to me..." Troy whispers. His voice is full of exhaustion and loss.
Nina is very moved. Troy is too attached to her. She can't pay back at all.
"I'm sorry..." Now the only thing Nina can do is to say it softly.
"Don't say sorry. Never say sorry to Troy." Troy shakes his head slightly at Nina. He holds out his arms to her. "Nina, let's hug!"
Nina holds back her tears and walks up to Troy. She loops her arm around his waist.
Her nose is filled with a light mint aroma. What a clean and gentle taste. Troy is always gentle and humble and considerate. Nina's tears finally slips silently. Troy, goodbye.
After a long time, the two separate. They find tears in each other's eyes.
"Where do you live? I'll take you back." Troy turns and picks up the car key from the sofa.
"No, I'll take a taxi back." Nina stops him. If Lucien sees Troy send her back, she and Troy will be punished by him.
"There are all villas around here. There are no taxis. I'll take you downtown and then you can take a taxi back, OK?" Troy senses Nina's panic. There is a slight loss in his heart. Nina must not want her boyfriend to see her with him. Is she afraid her boyfriend will be jealous? It seems that she really loves the man named Lucien.
Troy suddenly finds himself so jealous of Lucien. He is on the verge of madness with jealousy.
But he can only try to suppress his emotions and pretend to smile. He drives Nina downtown in silence.
"Nina, goodbye. Keep in touch and let me know you have a good life."
"OK. Goodbye." Nina looks around like a thief for fear that Lucien will see her with Troy.
Nina doesn't react until the door is closed and Troy is about to leave. She says, "Troy, take care of yourself!" Troy in the car gives Nina a a gentle smile. The black RV leaves. Looking at the smaller and smaller shadow of the RV, Nina suddenly cries. She is helpless.
It's dark, but City C at night is more charming than that during the day. Neon lights reflect the prosperity of the city, and there are well-dressed men and women everywhere. The closer the taxi gets to home, the more uneasy she gets. What will meet her? Is it insulting, beating, or something? No matter what it is, Nina is sure it's a tough night.
All the lights in Lucien's villa are on. Nina can feel the depressing atmosphere outside.
The servant sees Nina coming back and quickly opens the door. She turns her head excitedly and shouts, "master, Miss Morrison is back!"
Paige comes running. She takes Nina's hand. "Miss Morrison, you're back! Damn kidnappers! We're worried about you! How did you escape?" Nina freezes. How can she explain to Lucien how she escaped? She can't say Troy saved her. She has to protect Troy and not let Lucien hurt him! "Where is Lucien?" Nina asks Paige.
Paige's expression suddenly becomes complicated. She points to the living room inside and whispers in Nina's ear, "master is alone in it! He didn't sleep or eat yesterday! He looked for you everywhere." He looked for her everywhere and didn't eat or sleep?
Nina looks at Paige in surprise. Is she talking about Lucien? Will Lucien worry about a mistress?
With doubts and fears, Nina goes to the living room of the villa.
There have never been so many people in the villa. Two rows of uniformed police stand at the door, facing a group of men in black long windbreaker and sunglasses. Everyone looks serious, which makes people feel great pressure.
Seeing Nina come in, they all turn their heads to see her. They are surprised but none of them dares to talk. The atmosphere is oppressive.
Nina sees Lucien at a glance.
He sits on the big sofa in the middle of the living room. The collar of the white shirt is open. His short black hair is a bit messy and he has obvious dark circles. His handsome face is tired and haggard.[
