Chapter 219 Strange Nick

Cinder and I turned to look at Nick on the computer screen in union and then exchanged glances because he made us feel unfamiliar!

Thinking carefully, I realized his state had also been strange during the last few FaceTime calls. But we had both bought his story, believing it was because he hadn’t adapted to the high-pressure life at Harvard.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to lie.”

Before Cinder and I could speak, Nick took the initiative to apologize like the previous few times.

He looked at me with a guilty expression and said, “Baby, please believe me. I do hope you lead a happy life, but my work has been too stressful recently.”

Then, he lowered his head and spoke incoherently in a hoarse voice.

I remember he had once been in such a state before, but it was not because of work pressure. We had worked with the same professor for several years, so I knew his reaction in a high- pressure work environment well.

Back then, he had become talkative, frantically complained as soon as leaving the lab, and tried his best to have fun after work.

He had worked out in the gym, gone camping, hit bars, or just had a crazy snack purchase in Walmart. But in most cases, he had stayed with his ex who was a scumbag.

Although these were all past, I could not believe his current state was because of “work pressure”.

“Nick, you know we’ll always be your friends, right?” Cinder suddenly said.

She had spoken my mind.

Nick looked up at us with moist eyes and laughed, “Of course. I don’t need to hide anything from you! You know my depth better than my exes!”
