Chapter 1758 Jocelyn Defends Nicholas

To her, no one in their right mind would do the things Nicholas had done and still call it love.

For a moment, Jocelyn was at a loss for words. "Maybe... maybe Mr. Nicholas was just under too much pressure."

After all, between the two brothers, Nathaniel had always overshadowed Nicholas in every way.

Cecilia could see that Jocelyn was still trying to defend him. Rather than argue, she chose to let it go. As Nicholas stepped out of the café, Cecilia said, "I'm leaving."

Jocelyn nodded. "Alright."

She watched as Cecilia walked away.

At that moment, Nicholas approached. "What were you talking about with Ceci?"

Jocelyn shook her head. "Nothing important."

Something flickered in Nicholas' eyes, but he said nothing more. "Let's go. Back to the office."

"Okay." Jocelyn nodded.

As they sat in the car, Jocelyn hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Mr. Nicholas, I plan to return to my hometown this weekend."

Nicholas glanced at her, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Is something wrong?"

"I'm going back for my engagement. My family has been urging me," Jocelyn replied.

A heavy silence settled inside the car, thick and suffocating.
