Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0563

The cries of "Nick" over the phone grew increasingly desperate. Yet, Nicholas just listened with a blank expression. He didn't offer any response or decision.

I didn't feel much sympathy for Claudia. But in that moment, I understood the hope laced in her voice.

Because I, too, was once someone who couldn't stop calling him "Honey". I had also been through the moments when no matter how many times I called, it didn't make a difference.

Through Claudia's voice, I saw a reflection of my former self. Was he just as indifferent back then, standing cold and motionless while I yearned for him?

I closed my eyes, overwhelmed by the memories. This kind of bleak, hopeless love was something I never wanted to endure again.

"You should go see her. She needs you," I said softly.

Nicholas hesitated briefly before chuckling bitterly. His expression was dark as he replied, "Alright. If that's what you want."

This time, he didn't look back as he left. Moments later, the sound of an engine starting echoed from the courtyard.
