Chapter 68: Friends
Dinner went smoothly. After Andrew talked to Nina and reassured her that everything was fine, she felt relieved. He called a doctor in Paris and set an appointment once they arrived there to see what was happening to his wife.
They decided to have a few drinks and chat with Ren and Belinda first before the two returned home. Nina went outside the balcony to see the beauty of Zurich one last time.
"So, everything’s okay?" She was surprised to see Rev standing beside her while holding a glass of wine.
Nina smiled and nodded at him. Rev took a sip of wine, then sighed deeply before looking at her intently.
"Nina, I love you. I just want you to know that."
Nina’s eyes widened, then glanced inside the suite to look for Andrew. She saw her husband on the couch talking to Belinda.
"Can you listen to what I have to say? I asked your husband’s permission to talk to you. I just have to tell my feelings so that I won’t regret anything."
She sighed. "Okay. I’ll listen to you."
"I fell in love with you at first sight. I know I shouldn’t have but I can’t control my heart. I want you to know that I will still be here for you, as a friend. You can call me anytime if you have a problem with anything, especially your husband. He’s a great guy, you know. The night before we flew here, we had a talk." He paused.
Rev glanced at Nina then looked at the city lights from the balcony.
"I asked him the reason why he lied to you. He said it was for his mother. But he had already fallen in love with you by that time. He told me about how you first met and hung out with the same friends. That was the time he started loving you. At first, I really thought he bought you because of your shop, but I guess not. He was willing to do everything for you and your family, even if it would make him an evil person. I can’t compete with him. I know he would make you happy. Nina, I wish you and Andrew a happy life. And I promise I will find my own happiness." Rev said, smiling at her.
Nina held Rev’s hand and smiled back at him.
