Chapter 1429: Love at Cross Purposes

A cold person can say such words; Nicole’s body trembled slightly, her eyes felt sore.

"Jose Floyd, this is a hospital. Do you know this is an inappropriate place? Take this ring back... I can’t accept it." Nicole’s voice was somewhat hoarse.

Do you know how it feels when your heart is bleeding? It hurts so much that when she breathes, it feels like all her organs are tearing apart, yet she can’t cry.

Jose Floyd looked at Nicole, his eyes deep, and said in a low voice: "Just because Steven Cooper saved you, are you going to turn around and continue being Mrs. Cooper? Nicole, what about what you owe me? Can you just forget what you owe me?!"

"Jose Floyd, I didn’t..." Nicole clenched her fingers and handed the umbrella to Jose Floyd, "I’m leaving, you should go back."

When Nicole reached over with the umbrella, Jose Floyd coldly knocked it away and said with a cold glare: "Nicole, what you owe Steven Cooper, you’re repaying with your lifetime; what about what you owe me? How do you plan to repay it?! Is it by occasionally giving me some trivial concern, or will you just pretend you don’t owe me for this lifetime?"

The umbrella was mercilessly swept away by Jose Floyd, and he stood in the rain, still drenched. Nicole’s gaze fell on the bracelet on Jose Floyd’s left wrist for just a second before she retracted her gaze and turned away.

She turned her back, making an effort to feign composure as she walked inside.

Jose Floyd coldly watched her turn away, clutching the diamond ring in his palm as if deeply insulted, and directly threw it on the ground, turning around to leave.

Since she chose to walk away from him, he had no need to shamelessly try to hold onto her!

The diamond ring he bought only once in his life was tossed there like garbage; Jose Floyd didn’t take a second glance, coldly lifting his leg to leave, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

Nicole heard his gradually receding footsteps and finally dared to pause, slowly turning back, yet her eyes had already turned red.

Beside the fallen umbrella in the rain, the velvet box was ruthlessly abandoned in the downpour, and the diamond ring lay quietly on the ground. Nicole’s eyelashes fluttered lightly, tears falling silently.

She walked slowly into the rain, picking up the umbrella and velvet box from the ground, squatted down to retrieve the diamond ring Jose Floyd had thrown.

The diamond ring felt scorching in her hand, bringing a burning sensation to her palm.

She finally received this ring, yet it was in such a difficult predicament.

In the rain, Nicole’s tears flowed freely, as in this way, no one would discover her vulnerability...

-

When the rain stopped, the Cooper Family’s parents came over, and Nicole returned to the Seys Family for a visit. Since the incident, she had been with Steven Cooper in the hospital, and this was her first trip back.

Early winter, the weather was chilly.

Nicole went home and changed into a sweater, took out a delicate necklace Jose Floyd had gifted her a long time ago, threaded the diamond ring onto the necklace, and hung it around her neck, hiding it inside her sweater.

When she went downstairs, the whole Seys Family was there, aiming to relieve her psychological stress. Everyone shared good and interesting stories; no one mentioned the recent events.

Nicole’s gaze fell on her brother’s two children, Ryan Seys and Iris Seys, her gaze deep and entranced.

Her fingers instinctively brushed against her abdomen, a light smile spreading across her lips.

"Auntie, what are you smiling at?" Ryan Seys leaned his head over, getting close to Nicole.

Nicole worried Ryan might climb onto her belly, gently laughing: "Sit properly, don’t climb onto me. I’m wondering what kind of beautiful lady Ryan will marry in the future."
