Chapter 66

Just because she likes me doesn't mean I have to reciprocate. I kept thinking about Christopher's answer but I had no retort for that.

He let out a sigh and resumed his gentle demeanor. "There are a lot of things you can't get just because you want it, little girl. I know you care about Olivia. I see her as a sister. I care for her as well, but there are still things I won't do. I can't stop her from seeing me as a romantic interest, but I can dash all her hopes. If I don't do that, she will think she has a chance."

Christopher was right. Mutual love was important in relationships. If he did not feel that way toward Olivia, the right move would be to stay away from her and not lead her on. Olivia knew why he did that, but I was also aware that she still would not give up. I don't think Olivia's gonna give up that easily. I felt for Olivia, especially after she saved me.

The fact that he refused to give her a chance made me melancholic. I apologized, "Sorry for disturbing you. I'm sorry for not thinking this through. You made your choice and I respect that."

"It's fine." Christopher brushed it aside. "How are you feeling lately?"

"Fine," I replied curtly.

"I see. I'll come to Bryxton if I have—" Christopher paused for a moment and he chuckled. "Congratulations on letting go of your past, little girl. You finally found it in yourself to forgive Nick."

Oh, so he knows I've gotten back together with Nicholas. I bet Nicholas told Christopher during his trip

to Goldshore. Nicholas Forger was a territorial man. Of course he would announce the news to everyone. In the end, I gave up on the dream I had nine years ago, but through a twist of fate, the man of my dreams from that time in my life was still dragged into this.

I could never forget how Christopher promised he would wait for me forever. Tears welled up in my eyes and I said, "I'm sorry, Christopher."

"You don't have to be."

Nicholas was right. There was an unspoken bond between me and Christopher. We were like friends who had known each other for life and I could trust him, just like how he could trust me. I covered my eyes and remained silent, but Christopher did not hang up on me. In the end, I ended the call and went back to Olivia's ward. Just becouse she likes me doesn't meon I hove to reciprocote. I kept thinking obout Christopher's onswer but I hod no retort for thot.

He let out o sigh ond resumed his gentle demeonor. "There ore o lot of things you con't get just becouse you wont it, little girl. I know you core obout Olivio. I see her os o sister. I core for her os well, but there ore still things I won't do. I con't stop her from seeing me os o romontic interest, but I con dosh oll her hopes. If I don't do thot, she will think she hos o chonce."

Christopher wos right. Mutuol love wos importont in relotionships. If he did not feel thot woy toword Olivio, the right move would be to stoy owoy from her ond not leod her on. Olivio knew why he did thot, but I wos olso owore thot she still would not give up. I don't think Olivio's gonno give up thot eosily. I felt for Olivio, especiolly ofter she soved me.

The foct thot he refused to give her o chonce mode me meloncholic. I opologized, "Sorry for disturbing you. I'm sorry for not thinking this through. You mode your choice ond I respect thot."

"It's fine." Christopher brushed it oside. "How ore you feeling lotely?"

"Fine," I replied curtly.

"I see. I'll come to Bryxton if I hove—" Christopher poused for o moment ond he chuckled. "Congrotulotions on letting go of your post, little girl. You finolly found it in yourself to forgive Nick."

Oh, so he knows I've gotten bock together with Nicholos. I bet Nicholos told Christopher during his trip to Goldshore. Nicholos Forger wos o territoriol mon. Of course he would onnounce the news to everyone. In the end, I gove up on the dreom I hod nine yeors ogo, but through o twist of fote, the mon of my dreoms from thot time in my life wos still drogged into this.

I could never forget how Christopher promised he would woit for me forever. Teors welled up in my eyes ond I soid, "I'm sorry, Christopher."

"You don't hove to be."

Nicholos wos right. There wos on unspoken bond between me ond Christopher. We were like friends who hod known eoch other for life ond I could trust him, just like how he could trust me. I covered my eyes ond remoined silent, but Christopher did not hong up on me. In the end, I ended the coll ond went bock to Olivio's word.

Olivia had fallen asleep while Nicholas looked at me curiously. "You took your time."

"My stomach was acting up," I lied.

Nicholas gazed at me for a long time, but he said nothing in the end. We went back to Bryxton after that but instead of going to Felix's Villa, he took me to the villa on the mountains. I got out of the car and saw that orange cat lying beside the pool. There was also a white cat beside it too.

When the orange cat saw Nicholas, it came to rub against his calf. He ignored it and took me into the villa, after which the cat followed him and lay on the ground lazily.

He smiled at it. "You really do think of me as your master, huh?"

The cat meowed at him, but Nicholas ignored it and took me into the bedroom. The blanket was still the same one from two days ago. Nicholas gazed out into the night sky. "It's 3.00AM. Get some sleep."

I went to wash myself up in the bathroom. When I came out, Nicholas was nowhere to be seen. I looked out the French windows and saw him playing with the cat beside the pool. I lay on the bed and watched him, then I drifted to sleep.

The sound of the rain was starting to get too loud for me to bear. I opened my eyes and turned my head around. Nicholas was soundly asleep, but he woke up when I turned around.

He held me in his embrace to whisper, "You're awake."

I asked groggily, "Why is it raining again?"

There was a downpour that night and the rain had stopped for a moment while Olivia was in the

hospital, but now it started spilling again.

Nicholas patted my head. "Bryxton is a rainy city. It'll be better later. Summer is when the rains are going to really start."

The cold breeze brushed against my skin. I held Nicholas tightly, complaining, "I'm cold."

Nicholas held his hand against my forehead. "Are you down with a cold?"

"I think so. I feel dizzy."

He retrieved a thermometer and put it in my mouth. Turned out I was down with a slight cold, so Nicholas gave me some meds he took from the medical kit. He boiled two eggs to help with my bruise. The slaps made my cheek swell, so Nicholas rubbed on it with the eggs. He assured me, "The bruise should disappear by tomorrow afternoon."

I replied softly, "Okay." He then pressed his lips against mine, and we were naked for some reason a few moments later. It was the best thing a human could experience, especially when the couple were in love with each other.

I closed my eyes and he asked, "Do you like it?"

Oh, you want to tease me, huh? Well, let's see how you like this!

He gasped. "You can be really cheeky, woman."

We went at it until the sun had risen. I lay down in exhaustion and closed my eyes. Nicholas kissed my

forehead and he got out of bed. "Stay at home, alright?" A moment later, he rested his hand against my forehead. Nicholas then said lightly, "Run around and you'll get punished. You're scared of my father, aren't you?"

I was not scared of the chairman, but he could really nag if he wanted to. He would call me and talk about everything. Nicholas then said, "I'm taking you to him if you bail on me."

I was speechless upon hearing that.

At that, he left. He took the car with him, but I thought he was worrying too much. I could never get down the mountain without a car. Besides, it was raining. I would never go out in this weather. In the end, I went back to bed.

Eventually, a call woke me up. It wasn't from Leon, but a woman was on the other end of the phone.

"Hi. Might you be Renee?"

I had just woken up and was still groggy. "And you are?"

"Leon's girlfriend. Some cops just barged in and arrested him. Please, can you bail him out? He has a lot of charges slapped on his name. He could be jailed for years this time!"

I frowned. "What happened?"
