Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 1323 A Night of Hope and Letdown

Although Halma seemed to be participating in their conversation that night, her mind was actually elsewhere. She kept looking at the door and expecting Nathan to rush in and apologize for being late as he had things to attend to.

However, that did not happen.

Instead, the door was left untouched for the entire night.

She started the evening with high hopes but ended up feeling utterly disappointed.

She pretended to be calm, making jokes and joining in their conversations as if she did not care about Nathan's attendance or lack thereof.

However, her constant glances toward the door and fidgeting fingers did not escape Olivia's notice, Olivia knew all too well that Halma was anxious and eager to see him.
