The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow by Helena R. Bates

Chapter 123

Potter's thoughts were laid bare, and he couldn't help but let his gaze fall on Nancy, his face turning a deep shade of red. "Is... is that not okay?"

Nancy paused, her fingers stilling as she looked down to avoid meeting Potter's eyes.

Lenard furrowed his brow. "Of course not. Nancy here already has a dashing boyfriend. There's no way she'd fancy you!"

Come on, Potter isn't even as good-looking as Judson! There's no way he could compete.

"Her boyfriend?" Instantly, an image popped into Potter's mind of a strikingly handsome man from the previous night, carrying Nancy away...

A strange bitterness filled Potter's heart, and he couldn't help but glance back at Nancy. "Miss Lena, was that charming guy last night your boyfriend?"

Nancy knew Potter had misunderstood, but she didn't bother to explain. Instead, she smiled and nodded. "Yeah, he's my boyfriend."

Since Judson liked to call her his wife, she figured she might as well let him take the blame this time. Lena had a boyfriend!

Potter's heart sank with a thud, leaving only an indescribable bitterness. "Seems like I got dumped before I even had a chance to confess."

Nancy was speechless.
