Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right by PASSION

Chapter 843

Mercer’s gaze hardened as he gritted his teeth and set Nancy down.

Without a word, he gripped her wrist and marched her directly to the bathroom.

With a stoic expression, he thrust her beneath the shower head.

The shock of the frigid water hitting her head was akin to a sudden plunge into an icy river, a stark contrast to the warmth of intoxication.

Mercer turned the knob to its maximum flow, making it impossible for her to open her eyes against the relentless downpour.

The cold water quickly snapped her out of her drunken stupor, sharpening her senses.

Nancy gasped, arching her back as she fumbled with a trembling hand to find the knob and stop the icy flow.

Once she turned off the water, she wiped her face and saw Mercer’s disapproving expression.

Nancy’s face blazed with anger, her cheeks flushed crimson.

“Mercer, seriously? Are you trying to turn me into an icicle? It’s fine if you don’t like me, but freezing me out like this?”

With a sneer, Mercer’s voice dripped with coldness.

Each word he uttered felt like a stab to Nancy’s heart.
