Chapter 1075: It’s because I liked it.
[If it’s itchy, scratch it.]
"Jesus!" Nina shivered from head to toe as Lily’s face suddenly hovered over her head, along with Lily’s mischievous advice earlier today. She shook her head, waving her hand over her head to shake off Lily’s image.
"Why did I have to tell her everything?" she mumbled to herself, shaking her head, realizing it might not have been a good idea to confide in Lily about this. After all, Lily was just... wild. Nina wanted to believe it was Lily’s defense mechanism after almost marrying someone who was just after her family’s wealth.
"But then again, she had always been this energetic, even before," Nina muttered, sighing heavily as she gazed at her apartment door. Another sigh escaped her as she held the doorknob, a little hesitant to go into her own place.
Not that she didn’t want to see Finn.
"I actually miss him," she whispered, staring at the door. "I think... I need to talk to him about it."
How Nina would tell Finn without embarrassing herself or hurting him was something she didn’t know. But she knew she would eventually figure it out. All she needed was a full night to think about it.
With that thought in mind, she twisted the knob and went inside.
"I’m home," she announced out of habit, her brows rising as the house was unusually quiet. "Hmm?"
Deep lines appeared between her brows as she closed the door behind her. Her steps were slow and quiet, for a reason she couldn’t quite understand.
"Finn?" she peeked into the small living room, but Finn wasn’t there. "He’s normally just idling in here."
Her lips curved downward, but after checking the time, she realized it was quite late. "Right. I did tell him I’d be home late and to not wait for me."
