Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0343

"Nicholas, you think too highly of yourself."

How could Nicholas possibly understand how I felt back then? I once loved him deeply. But his so-called "not doing well" only resulted in forceful possession of me. He never truly suffered or worried for me even for a moment. "I used to want the person I loved to love me wholeheartedly in return, but you never understood love."

He was someone who did not understand love while pretending to be obsessed with it. Love was never about competing. It was about having confidence in what was mine even without fighting for it. Nicholas never gave me that confidence. "What is love to you? Kneeling down to beg you, or publicly declaring my love?"

"Those were just casual jokes I once made. Nicholas, I don't need you to understand love because I don't love you anymore. If there's a chance in the future, I hope someone can teach you what 'love' really means."

The suit jacket matching my dress was casually draped over the sofa. Meanwhile, its owner did not return all night.

easier for me with Douglas' help. I had time to relax and review some case files. Suddenly, my phone rang.
