As Nathaniel met Reba’s questioning eyes, his gaze darkened. He stood up and walked toward her.<b>” </b>Reba, let me exin.”
Reba hurled the thermal container she was holding at Nathaniel. It hit him and then fell to the floor, rolling a few times beforeing to a stop ne
to the sofa.
Nathaniel’s face turned grim, and his gaze toward Reba grew cold.
Reba didn’t notice his change in demeanor and said angrily, “I heard everything clearly. What’s left to exin? If you’re not going to help me deal with N, then <b>we’re </b>breaking up!”
With that, she turned and walked out quickly.
While watching her leave, Nathaniel’s hands clenched at his sides. After a moment of hesitation, he ran after her.
He caught up with her at the elevator, bending down to meet her gaze. “Reba, it’s my fault. Please don’t be upset. I promise I will fulfill my promises to you, okay?”
Reba looked up with tear–filled eyes, her face pale. “Can I still trust you?”
Her tearful appearance made Nathaniel’s heart <b>ache</b>. He quickly reached out to wipe her tears away. “I’m sorry, Reba. Please don’t cry. Seeing you like this breaks my heart. I promise I won’t lie to you again, okay?”
“Really?” Reba asked.
“Yes, I promise,” Nathaniel assured.
Reba’s tears turned into a smile. “Okay. I’ll trust you one more time. If you dare deceive me again, I’ll disappear to a ce where you can never find me.”
“Alright, stop crying. Seeing you in tears pains me,” Nathaniel coaxed.
Reba leaned into his embrace, her voice still tinged with a sob. “Okay, just don’t lie to me again.”
“I won’t,” Nathaniel promised.
As Reba buried her head in Nathaniel’s chest, she smirked.
When N returned to the vi, she went straight to her bedroom to continue studying.
Soon, it <b>was </b>dinnertime. During the meal, Vrie mentioned that she would be going home for the night.
“My parents are throwing me a party. There are a lot of things to handle tomorrow, and they want me to stay home tonight. Juste to my ce directly tomorrow,” Vrie said.
N nodded. “Okay.”
She handed Vrie the diamond earrings she had prepared and smiled. “Here’s a birthday gift for you. There will be a lot of people tomorrow, so I’m giving it to you today.”
Vrie’s eyes sparkled with delight as she opened the box to reveal the diamond earrings. “They’re so beautiful! I love them. I’ll wear them tomorrow. Thank you, N!”
“I’m d you like them,” N replied.
After dinner, Vrie drove off, while N returned to her room to continue studying. She only paused to wash up and go to bedte into the night.
Meanwhile, Reba knew that Nathaniel would be attending Vrie’s birthday party the next evening, so she begged him to take her along.
Nathaniel raised an eyebrow and looked at her. “Vrie is a good friend of N. You might run into N. Are you sure you want to go?”
Reba nodded. “Of course, I’m your girlfriend, so it’s only natural for me to apany you to events. Don’t worry. I know how to behave. I won’t do anything to N in public.”
After thinking for a few seconds, Nathaniel agreed. After all, he was publicly with Reba, and it was only right to bring her to such asions.
However, thinking about Reba’s condition made his expression turn somber again.
Sensing his sudden change in mood, Reba looked at him with concern. “Nathaniel, am I causing you trouble? If it’s difficult for you, I won’t go.” C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
Nathaniel looked down at her worried eyes, his heart softening. ‘No, it’s <b>not </b>you. I was just thinking about something else.”
Seeing that he didn’t seem ready to share, Reba didn’t press further. She simply leaned against his chest and whispered, “If it’s something that upsets you, don’t dwell on it. I want you to be happy when you’re with me.”
