Chapter 111 Giving Up Means Not Caring Anymore

Since Nancy couldn’t avoid him, she walked over to him and said, “I came out for some fresh air.”

“What about your phone? Why is it turned off?” Nicholas glanced at the phone she was holding.

Nancy bit her lip before responding curtly, “Maybe it ran out of battery and turned off by itself.”

She had no idea that Nicholas had almost searched the entire city looking for her.

He didn’t bring up the laborious process,

He simply came over and took her hand.

Since he was here, Nancy knew she couldn’t escape.

She allowed him to hold her hand without protest and followed him to his car.

Along the way, the wind howled as if signifying an impending storm. The trees by the side of the road were shaking in the wind.

Nancy stared out the window without speaking.

However, when the car turned left at the traffic light, she sensed something amiss. “Aren’t we heading back?”

“I’m taking you out for a meal,” Nicholas said.

“Oh,” she acknowledged.

Her expression remained indifferent. She didn’t express any opinion.

When the car stopped outside the restaurant, the thunderstorm had begun, and huge droplets of rain crashed against the car.

There was no basement parking lot, so they had to enter the restaurant from the outside.

Nancy was about to get out of the car when Nicholas said, “Wait.”

Then, he got down with an umbrella and opened it before taking Nancy’s hand. “Let’s go.”

“Thank you,” Nancy said, though her gaze remained indifferent.

She was no longer the naive little girl she used to be.
