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
