Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 937

Chapter 937: What do you want me to do with this regret?

[Short Flashback]

Finn was seated in the backseat, heading to one of his meetings. He sat in silence, rubbing a ring with his thumb while staring at it for quite some time. Not long ago, he had visited Nina, and he was right — Jonathan was slithering his way into her life.

He should've warned her about him. However, considering their recent breakup and his complicated relationship with Nina, he didn't want to come across the wrong way.

"I hate her," he whispered, his eyelids drooping as his gaze remained fixed on the ring in his fingers. "I hate her."

Like a mantra, he had told himself those words countless times today. He had to remind himself. It was the only way to make himself miss her less or perhaps, make him feel less lonely. In his mind, if he could convince himself and eventually believe it, he wouldn't long for her or worry about her anymore.

It was easier that way... for him and for Nina.

"Penelope Bennet will surely not let harm come her way," he whispered as he felt his heart start to wane. "And Zoren Pierson won't let anything happen to his wife."

Finn rocked his head, thinking that should do it. Still, he had to repeat that in his mind as many times as he could remember, only to fall into complete silence. His eyes remained fixated on the ring in his hand, reminded of the smile Nina wore as she sat across from Jonathan.

"I..." he trailed off, hearing a loud honk from the side.

When he turned, all he saw was a truck driving toward their side. His breathing slowed, and his pupils began to dilate. For some reason, the world felt like it was revolving slower than normal.

As the honk grew more ironically distant, there was only one voice Finn heard, so clear it felt like the person was right beside him.
