freewebnovel.com

Nina sat quietly in the corner of the restaurant, clasping her hands in her lap. Last night had been a shock to her, and even this morning, the thought of it felt surreal. She couldn't believe it happened and Penny got hurt.

However, after spending a day resting at the Cortez household, with Jessa lecturing her the whole time, Nina was finally able to sort through her thoughts. Despite the rollercoaster experience of last night, one fact remained clear:

Finn had lied to her.

And she wanted to know why.

Moreover, she had a vague memory of Finn stopping her from helping Penny last night. She wasn't sure if it was due to confusion or drunkenness, but she planned to get her answers today. After hearing Lily's sentiments about her breakup with Aiden, and after witnessing what Aiden could do, Nina didn't want the lingering fear in her heart.

The mere thought of marriage already made her nervous, and her engagement had added enough pressure on her life. She couldn't allow this feeling of

uncertainty and fear to creep in now. Thus, Nina waited patiently in the restaurant, filled with determination.

"Sorry, I'm late." After a couple more minutes, Finn arrived and sat down opposite her. "Did I make you wait long?"

Slowly, Nina lifted her eyes to the man across from her. As usual, Finn looked dashing in his perfectly ironed clothes, neatly brushed hair, and unblemished skin. Unlike Nina's bare face, which displayed natural fine lines and exhaustion under her eyes, his skin looked flawless.
