Chapter 160: A Morning Filled with the Smell of Jealousy
Nia was half-pushed and half-pulled by Lance into the living room before being gently pressed down into a wooden chair.
“Do you know that when I woke up this morning, I only then found out my uncle had rushed out in the middle of the night yesterday?”
Sitting in the chair, Nia began pouring out her worries.

He placed the steaming cup of water on the table before Nia.
“Sorry for making you worry so much.”
