Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 422 The Confession of Nicholas

“So, you’ve been back for a while already, huh? And here I thought I was the first one to see you. You know, I’m pretty disappointed that you didn’t notify me the moment you got back.” Even though Ronan looked sad after hearing my response, he gave a half-smile.

“I had to meet with Michael because of work. Even if we didn’t bump into each other today, I planned to contact you soon anyway. It’s just that fate put us together before I could do that.” Seeing Ronan’s downcast eyes, I could not help but shake my head helplessly. He’s the same as he was a year ago. Still the same old Ronan.

“So, you still remember me then? I thought you’d long forgotten about me.” Ronan’s smile grew wider after listening to my explanation. The man’s mood seemed to have gotten much better.

“Of course! How could I forget you? You’re one of my best friends!” I teased him before laughing at him.

Then, we chatted until the sky turned dark. Since I did not drive there, Ronan offered to send me back to my apartment, and I accepted.

I reckoned after a year, his feelings for me would have changed, so I decided it was no longer necessary to keep my distance from him deliberately.

On the way, Ronan asked me a lot of questions. Most of them were about why I left a year ago and how I could just leave my child.

I avoided answering any of those questions because I did not want to be reminded of my painful past. The past should stay in the past. I don’t want them to affect my current life.

After taking a hot shower, I slumped into my bed and quickly fell asleep. Since returning to the country, I haven’t had the time for a good sleep because of all the things I had to do.

The following evening, I arrived outside the restaurant Nicholas and I agreed to meet at. He told me he had something to say to me, so I took him up on his invitation.
