NovelOnlineI understood what Nicholas meant. He was tellingthat the boy who once claimed to likewas not as loyal as I thought-just like Pete. Nicholas approached Pete intimidatingly before saying softly, "Just make sure you know which women you can touch, and which you can't!" He brushed off Pete's shoulder as if there was snon-existent dust. He then turned and left without looking back.
Watching Nicholas's retreating figure, my eyes stung. Pete got into the car and cursed, "Don't listen to his nonsense. My dad might have arranged blind dates for me, but I didn't go to a single one!" Exhausted, I rubbed my temples as my head was hurting. If only Nicholas could be as steadfast in choosingas Pete was, I might have been so happy now.

How would they possibly let their son marry a divorced woman, let alone the former daughter-in-law of their family friend? The idea itself was mind-blowing. Besides, their family would never accept someone else's children.
Pete kept chattering, but I could not focus on a word. My mind was occupied by Nicholas's departing figure and the girls clinging to him.
As the car finally started moving, I messaged Daniel. I figured that I had completed the task of finding women for Nicholas. Whether or not he slept with them, at least I had made my stance clear.
Daniel seemed pleased with my actions. He said he would sendthe gift he had promised to give me. I did not really bother myself with it. I met assumed he meant the assets he had promised before. But to my surprise, Daniel released a public statement severing ties with Claudia after Pete droppedoff at my apartment.
He was even more ruthless and cold-hearted than I imagined. The statement vaguely reported her past relationships with multiple male classmates of hers and her rene expose targeting Jasmine. Though it omitted anything related to the Hawk family, it revealed everything else.

Looking at those words, I did not feel really happy. Perhaps it was because it wasn't Nicholas, who had done that for me. Those were things even the bedridden Daniel could find out about. Yet, Nicholas had pretended to be oblivious for so long. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a key in the lock. Nicholas strode in, his eyes red with anger.
Seeingsitting on the couch with my phone, he questionedthrough gritted teeth. "Now, I know why you were so eager to obey my father. You're satisfied now, aren't you?" I blinked. I finally realized that Daniel had not sparedafter all. He had said before that he could accept any woman other than me.
Placing my hand on my belly, I remembered Daniel's words. He said I could not bear children so I was hot e a good match for Nicholas. Looking at the harsh Nicholas before me, I chuckled softly. He must have hatedso much now. RULE #1 choose married women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
