Chasing the Unexpected

Chapter 438

As Nathaniel met Rebecca’s questioning eyes, his gaze darkened. He stood up and walked toward her.” Rebecca, let me explain.”

Rebecca hurled the thermal container she was holding at Nathaniel. It hit him and then fell to the floor, rolling a few times before coming to a stop ne

to the sofa.

Nathaniel’s face turned grim, and his gaze toward Rebecca grew cold.

Rebecca didn’t notice his change in demeanor and said angrily, “I heard everything clearly. What’s left to explain? If you’re not going to help me deal with Nyla, then we’re breaking up!”

With that, she turned and walked out quickly.

While watching her leave, Nathaniel’s hands clenched at his sides. After a moment of hesitation, he ran after her.

He caught up with her at the elevator, bending down to meet her gaze. “Rebecca, it’s my fault. Please don’t be upset. I promise I will fulfill my promises to you, okay?”

Rebecca looked up with tear–filled eyes, her face pale. “Can I still trust you?”

Her tearful appearance made Nathaniel’s heart ache. He quickly reached out to wipe her tears away. “I’m sorry, Rebecca. Please don’t cry. Seeing you like this breaks my heart. I promise I won’t lie to you again, okay?”

“Really?” Rebecca asked.

“Yes, I promise,” Nathaniel assured.

Rebecca’s tears turned into a smile. “Okay. I’ll trust you one more time. If you dare deceive me again, I’ll disappear to a place where you can never find me.”

“Alright, stop crying. Seeing you in tears pains me,” Nathaniel coaxed.

Rebecca leaned into his embrace, her voice still tinged with a sob. “Okay, just don’t lie to me again.”

“I won’t,” Nathaniel promised.

As Rebecca buried her head in Nathaniel’s chest, she smirked. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

When Nyla returned to the villa, she went straight to her bedroom to continue studying.

Soon, it was dinnertime. During the meal, Valarie mentioned that she would be going home for the night.

“My parents are throwing me a party. There are a lot of things to handle tomorrow, and they want me to stay home tonight. Just come to my place directly tomorrow,” Valarie said.

Nyla nodded. “Okay.”

She handed Valarie the diamond earrings she had prepared and smiled. “Here’s a birthday gift for you. There will be a lot of people tomorrow, so I’m giving it to you today.”

Valarie’s eyes sparkled with delight as she opened the box to reveal the diamond earrings. “They’re so beautiful! I love them. I’ll wear them tomorrow. Thank you, Nyla!”

“I’m glad you like them,” Nyla replied.

After dinner, Valarie drove off, while Nyla returned to her room to continue studying. She only paused to wash up and go to bed late into the night.

Meanwhile, Rebecca knew that Nathaniel would be attending Valarie’s birthday party the next evening, so she begged him to take her along.

Nathaniel raised an eyebrow and looked at her. “Valarie is a good friend of Nyla. You might run into Nyla. Are you sure you want to go?”

Rebecca nodded. “Of course, I’m your girlfriend, so it’s only natural for me to accompany you to events. Don’t worry. I know how to behave. I won’t do anything to Nyla in public.”

After thinking for a few seconds, Nathaniel agreed. After all, he was publicly with Rebecca, and it was only right to bring her to such occasions.

However, thinking about Rebecca’s condition made his expression turn somber again.

Sensing his sudden change in mood, Rebecca looked at him with concern. “Nathaniel, am I causing you trouble? If it’s difficult for you, I won’t go.”

Nathaniel looked down at her worried eyes, his heart softening. ‘No, it’s not you. I was just thinking about something else.”

Seeing that he didn’t seem ready to share, Rebecca didn’t press further. She simply leaned against his chest and whispered, “If it’s something that upsets you, don’t dwell on it. I want you to be happy when you’re with me.”
