Chapter 194 Surrounded

Nicholas glanced at Madelline, who had come to find him, and furrowed his brow.

Upon seeing Nicholas, Madelline bit her lip, appearing delicate and vulnerable.

“Nicholas, I’m sorry. I know you don’t want to see me, but I really miss you.”

“Madelline, I think I’ve made myself clear. Since I decided to send you abroad, there has been not connection between us.”

“No…” Madelline shook her head, tears streaming down her face. “How can there be no connection? I was your first love, and we spent so many years together. I believe you still have feelings for me. It’s only because Nancy is your wife that you feel obligated to her.”

“You’re mistaken.” Nicholas’ gaze remained remarkably calm. “The person I love now is Nancy. I care for her not out of obligation, but because I genuinely want to make her happy and give her a fulfilling life. So, Madelline, please let go. It’s better for you, for me, and for Nancy.”

Madelline clutched her chest, waves of pain coursing through her.

She refused to believe a single word Nicholas said. How could he no longer be in love?

She was his first love, his true love. How could he just say he didn’t love her anymore and turn around to fall in love with the woman who ruined their relationship?

“Nicholas.” Madelline looked at him, teary-eyed. “How can you treat me like this? I can accept that you might not love me anymore and that you could fall in love with someone else. But why Nancy? Have you forgotten? She’s the one who ruined us. If it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t have separated.”

“Madelline.” Suddenly, Nicholas raised his voice.

His gaze pierced through her, unusually sharp. “I won’t allow you to slander her.”

“You’re defending her like this?”

“Our separation had nothing to do with her. We broke up long before I married Nancy. Have you. forgotten? You were the one who initiated the breakup. You accused me of not caring for you or looking after you?

As Nicholas spoke, Madelline’s face turned bright red, and she struggled to find words.
