From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 133

Staring at Ileana, Nanson couldn’t believe his ears, “Why?” he asked.

Instead of answering, Ileana shot back a question. “Nanson, I heard you cut ties with your folks and your sister, is that true?”

“Yeah,” Nanson nodded, a pained look crossing his face. “Ileana, if you’re breaking up with me over this… I can explain. I’m not disloyal or a bad son.”

“No need to explain,” Ileana interrupted, raising her hand to stop him. “Nanson, we’re just not right for each other. Dragging this out will only hurt us both more. Better to end things

now.”

Nanson had treated her like a queen, catering to her every whim, but Nanson had severed ties with his family.

Ileana had been drawn to Nanson because he was a local with several houses to his name and his older sister, Elaine, was high society royalty.

Nanson didn’t even own a single house. What kind of future could he offer her?

“Ileana, even if we’re breaking up, I deserve a reason. Tell me what I did wrong, and I’ll change!” Nanson had been sincere, even planning out their future together.
