Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0166

I hadn't seen Nicholas look at me like this in a long time. Just a few hours ago, he was so unbelievably gentle and his gaze was filled with an unparalleled tenderness, Irritation flickered in his eyes as he narrowed them at me and snapped, "Were you eavesdropping outside?"

I sucked in a deep breath and plastered a nonchalant smile on my face. "Why should you be afraid of what you yourself said? Or... are you just afraid of me finding out?"

As I stared at this face that I'd been so familiar with, waves of complicated emotions washed over me. Did I love him? Probably not. After all, he'd shattered my heart countless times.

Did I hate him? Not really. I knew I had wronged him too, so I wouldn't expect him to love me wholeheartedly.

I was probably furious due to the mortification I felt after being. deceived by him when I thought I'd always outsmarted him. He must've really gotten to me, for my heart to ache so badly and for me to be so hopeless.

Time seemed to stand still between us. I stared at him for what felt like an eternity, and I finally steeled my resolve.

A man like Nicholas wouldn't bother lying. So, it meant he'd been. telling the truth. He didn't have any feelings for me. He just thought. that I was decent, and that was it. He wouldn't even bother to come up with an explanation when I questioned him.

In fact, I began to wonder whether Jasmine had spiked the water she gave him with a poison that rendered him mute.
