When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1669 Who Is He

It wasn't Yannick at the door-it was Nicholas.

Jocelyn was stunned to see him. "Mr. Nicholas? Why are you here? Is something wrong?"

Nicholas looked at her face, trying his best to suppress the chaotic emotions swirling within him.

"It's nothing. I just saw that you weren't replying to my messages or calls and thought something might have happened," he lied.

Jocelyn quickly grabbed her phone from the table and saw that Nicholas had indeed called and texted her.

"I'm sorry, I had my phone on silent. It's been raining, and I was busy all day, so I didn't check my phone," she explained.

Nicholas walked in without waiting for an invitation, his eyes immediately catching sight of an extra cup on the coffee table.

"What's going on?" he asked casually, though his tone had a slight edge.

"I went to meet my boyfriend's family today," Jocelyn hesitated for a moment before answering.

Her boyfriend's family? Meeting the parents already? That is quick.

"Why the sudden relationship? Who's the guy?" Nicholas feigned ignorance.

Jocelyn clenched her fists slightly. "It's Yannick."

It's indeed him.

Nicholas forced himself to keep his expression neutral. "Didn't you say you wouldn't be with him?"

"It's a long story," Jocelyn said, pinching the palm of her hand. Standing in front of Nicholas, she suddenly felt like a child being scolded for doing something wrong.

Not wanting to reveal too much of her emotions, she turned to pour him a glass of warm water. "Mr. Nicholas, why did you text me? Is there something you need?"

"It's not important. I just wanted to ask where was the contract you had with Mr. Blaine. Since you didn't reply, I went ahead and found it myself," Nicholas replied.

"That's good. I'll be more mindful in the future and won't let my personal affairs interfere with my work again," Jocelyn promised.

Nicholas took the glass of water she handed him and took a sip.

The water was tasteless, yet it left a bitter taste in his mouth. "It's fine. You should focus on your own

matters now. You're not young anymore. It's indeed time to think about marriage."

He turned his head slightly and added, "But you should take your time to get to know Yannick better. Don't rush into marriage."

Hearing his concern, Jocelyn nodded.

"Don't worry, I will."

Nicholas had so much to say, but looking at Jocelyn, he swallowed his words.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now," he said as he stood up.

"Okay. I'll see you out."

Normally, Nicholas would have refused, but for some reason, he let Jocelyn escort him this time.

Outside, it was drizzling. Noticing this, Jocelyn went back inside and brought out an umbrella. "Mr. Nicholas, here's an umbrella."

Nicholas reached out and took it.

When they reached the car, Nicholas hesitated for a long time but still couldn't bring himself to say what was on his mind. He got in the car and left.

As the car drove away, the light in Jocelyn's eyes dimmed.

Her mood sank into a deep gloom.

It turned out that receiving

regarding could

her future

be so painful.

Standing in the rain, Jocelyn felt a chill seep into her very bones.

After returning to her house, she thought for a long time before dialing Yannick's number.

Yannick, who rarely received calls from her, was pleasantly surprised when he saw her name on the

screen.

"Jocelyn, what's up?"noveldrama

Jocelyn mustered her courage. "Yannick, I want to be honest with you."

Yannick's heart sank. He had a feeling he knew what she was about to say. "You're not about to break up with me, are you?" he asked bluntly.

Jocelyn clutched her phone tightly, "I've realized that I haven't fully I

Yo on yet. I feel like b

She had thought she was over Nicholas, but tonight, when he came to her home, her heart betrayed her again.
