Chapter 1514: keep in touch with the devil
"Tell me — didn’t Finn leave recently? Do you even know where he went? Let me guess. He told you it was a business trip, when in fact, it wasn’t."
Nina paused, slowly turning back to face Mrs. Davis. The latter sneered, the malice in her eyes as clear as day.
"Have you considered it, Nina? Why would your fiancé lie to you?" Mrs. Davis continued. "Let me tell you. Because whether he tells you or not, it wouldn’t make a difference. You wouldn’t be of help. Telling you won’t change anything. And that, right there, is one more reason I don’t approve of this union."
Nina balled her hands into tight fists until her nails dug into her palms. Her chest rose and fell with heavy breaths as she tried to control her emotions — just as she always had. After all, she knew Mrs. Davis wasn’t just trying to hurt her, but to prove a point.
Even so, it was insulting.
"I—"
"Nina!"
Just as she opened her mouth, both women heard Finn’s voice ring out in the distance. They turned their heads to see him storming toward them.
"Finn," Nina whispered, a wave of calm washing over her at the sight of him. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she felt like crying the moment she laid eyes on him. But she didn’t.
When Finn reached her, he immediately looked her over. His face showed panic and concern, though he tried to mask it with gentleness as he examined her from head to toe.
