In Love, Never Say Never

In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1306-1307-1308-1309-1310

When I was done speaking, John breathed a sigh of relief and started to joke around. “The Zieglers are so annoying. Before we make them go bankrupt, let’s have some fun with them!”

I sighed. Men’s emotions were fleeting, passing only after a short time. Just as John was about to share his plans to deal with Thora, my phone rang.

I retrieved the phone from my bag and saw that I had a message from Rose. The last time I saw her, she had just given birth. She should’ve just ended her confinement. Why is she looking for me now?

To be polite, I answered the call anyway. “Hi Rose, what’s the matter?”

“Scarlett, I want to ask for your help with something.” She spoke hesitantly and seemed to be in a difficult position.

“Tell me. As long as it’s not too much, I won’t refuse.”

Nick and Rose did treat me like their sister after all, so naturally, I could not act too distant.

“Can you please help me contact Nick? I’ve not seen him for a week. I’m a little worried.”

She seemed to be deliberately covering the microphone to block out other noises. However, as a fellow woman, I could tell that she was distressed.

Previously in the hospital, I had already had a bad hunch. This time, I became even more certain of my guess. “What’s going on? Tell me the truth.”

The other end of the line fell into silence. After a long while, Rose replied, “Nothing, it’s just that Nick’s been working really hard for the company recently, so I’m worried that he can’t take it. Please, if you meet him, please talk to him about it. That’s all I have to say. I’ll contact you again. Bye.”

“Hey, Rose…” I was just about to ask her to clarify the situation when all I heard was the beeping sound of a disconnected call.

When I looked at my phone, it was already back at the lock screen. My feelings of uneasiness grew stronger as I frowned and gave Nick a call.

Logically speaking, if Rose was unable to contact him, Nick’s phone should have been unreachable. However, only a few seconds after I dialed his number, a familiar voice picked up the call. “Scarlett.”

It all made sense then. Nick was avoiding Rose ever since she had given birth. Perhaps Rose was still trying to cover up for him, and they had already been out of contact for over a week.

“Where are you?” My tone instantly became cold.

No matter what reason he had, as a man, he had left his wife just after she had given birth, and she had had no news of him for at least a week. It was an irresponsible act that no one would be able to accept.

Nick did not answer my question and instead changed the subject. “Is something the matter?”

I understood his thinking too well. He was trying to cover it up, which only served to highlight his guilt.

“It’s a business matter. Where are you now? Meet me at my law firm in half an hour. You should know the address. If you don’t, just Google it!”

I was unable to accept Nick’s change and said those words in agitation before I hung up the phone.

“Who made you so angry?” John asked as he cowered away from me, afraid to get on my nerves.

Puffing my cheeks out and turning to him, my furious gaze fell on his innocent face. “Some man!”

In the end, as John was worried that I would take my anger out on him, he got out of the car on the way back and prepared to head to school to pick Summer up in advance.

Back at the office, I had waited for over an hour, but Nick was still nowhere in sight. Millie, who was wearing glasses and was dressed formally, entered with documents for me to sign. However, I was spacing out and did not hear a word she said.

“Boss.” Millie’s emotionless voice rang out, startling me. She continued expressionlessly, “Is it not enough that you go to Stovall Residence every night for a secret meeting? Are you still thinking of your husband even at work?”

“Hmm?” I was stunned for a moment. When I realized what she had said, I blushed in anger and embarrassment. “What’s going on in your mind, Millie! Can you be a little more serious? I’m just waiting for a friend. We’d agreed to meet here half an hour ago.”

“Oh,” said Millie as she adjusted her glasses. “He’s not coming. Don’t waste your time waiting for him. It’s useless.”

“You mean, Nick stood me up?” The realization came slowly to me. Millie simply shrugged, but didn’t respond.

Suddenly, anger and humiliation boiled inside me. I furiously dialed his phone number.

I heard the ringtone in the background. It was connected. When the rings stopped, I opened my mouth to scold him but choke on my words as I heard the voicemail on the other line.

“He hung up?” I turned to Millie and showed her my phone screen in disbelief. “How dare he hang up on me!”

She raised her eyebrows and looked at me, as if it had nothing to do with her.

At first impression, Nick seemed more like a sweet and innocent guy, but suddenly he was different. His bad attitude caused my annoyance. I quickly stood up and wore my jacket. “Get the car ready. I will not let him get away that easily.”
