With each drag, her heart would ache.
In the midst of trying to pull the cigarette from Cecilia’s lips, some ash from the cigarette fell onto Noel’s
hand.
The sudden burn made him reflexively shake the ash off, causing his facial features to scrunch up in
discomfort.
“You’re so ugly,” Cecilia remarked bluntly, “I have no idea how I ever fell for someone like you.”
She even managed to blow smoke rings, causing Noel to cough once again.
A waiter approached them in the hallway, reminding Cecilia that smoking wasn’t allowed in this area.
Cecilia apologized, and changed direction towards the restroom. There was a window over there, but
the corridor was narrow.
When Cecilia stood there, Noel had no space to stand. He had to press himself against the wall to look
at her.
Cecilia smiled. “I can’t stand the sight of you, no matter how I look at you now.”
She didn’t give Noel a chance to speak.
Instead, she preemptively said, “Whether you’re standing, sitting, or doing anything else right now, I
feel uncomfortable looking at you. So, can you please not invite me to meet up in the future?”
Every time she met him, it reminded her of the times when Noel was good to her. And that one day
when she said he was so cold, and he only cared about hurrying her back home.
Noel had a side of him that was cute. He loved her at times.
But that affection, in the face of money, became trivial.
Cecilia felt a deep discomfort every time she thought about the 1.5 million her mother had given to
Noel.
All their emotions had turned to dust because of that money!
Noel had already accepted the Jarvises’ money, so what right did he have to ask Diana to create
opportunities for them to meet?
Even Fanny…
Had been dragged into this mess.
“Don’t pretend to love me deeply after we’ve broken up. If our love were deep, we wouldn’t be at this
point now.”
The smoke dissipated, and she threw away the cigarette.
Finally, Noel could see her face clearly.
Vaguely, one could catch a fleeting expression of sadness on her face. Noel chose to ignore the harsh
words Cecilia had said earlier, always keeping in mind the purpose of meeting her today—to have a
good talk.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
He looked at her and cautiously asked, “You didn’t want to break up, did you? Was it because of Mrs.
Jarvis you? She’s not happy with my background, so she…”
Hah!
“Don’t act like you’re innocent with me!”
Listening to his words, it seemed Noel hadn’t wanted to break up at all.
But what right did he have to portray himself as innocent?
Cecilia was so angry that her fingers trembled. She pulled a wad of money from her bag and asked
Noel mockingly, “Is this enough?”
With no more smoke, the scorn and disdain in her eyes were crystal clear, like a knife piercing Noel’s
heart.
Noel remained silent.
He didn’t understand what Cecilia meant.
Her meeting with him wasn’t what he had expected. She seemed so condescending, looking down on
him from a superior position.
Even… Her tone was similar to Sue’s when she talked to him.
Sue’s attitude couldn’t hurt him.
Only Cecilia could.
Every one of her actions would create a huge storm in his heart.
Noel furrowed his brows, thinking about Julian’s previous instructions. He wanted to reach out and hold
Cecilia.
However, she slapped him in the face.
The banknotes had sharp edges, and easily scratched him. Cecilia, however, acted as if she hadn’t
seen it and forcefully pushed his hand away.
“Do you know about the 1.5 million?” she asked him.
“1.5 million?” Noel was stunned. “The 1.5 million your mom gave me?”
“That’s enough!”
Since he had acknowledged the existence of that money, Cecilia didn’t care about preserving his pride
anymore. She unleashed her inner pain into anger right there in public.
Swish!
Bills flew one after another, striking Noel’s cheeks.
