Chapter 4

Sloane, take off that bracelet."

It was just an ordinary statement.

Yet it stirred up a storm in my heart.

Just because Serenity had seen the bracelet on my wrist recently and commented on how beautiful it was.

Nolan then took it upon himself to tell me to give this bracelet to Serenity the next time we met.

Suddenly, something occurred to me and I turned to him, saying, "You forced me to come here just for this, didn't you?"

Faced with my accusation, a flicker of panic crossed Nolan's eyes.

He held Serenity tighter, as if wanting to explain something.

But I had already smoothly handed over the bracelet, my expression cool and distant.

Nolan took it, his reaction dazed.

Before I had given up on him, my heart and eyes were full of nothing but him.

That bracelet was a gift from Nolan when we got married, and I cherished it dearly in my daily life.

When he first suggested I give it to Serenity, I refused as expected.

So Nolan put on that cold expression again.

"Sloane, it's just a bracelet."

"If it makes Serenity happy, that's a blessing for you."

At that moment, I fell apart.Since Nolan married me, anything Serenity liked, no matter how difficult, Nolan would prepare it for her.

I asked him why, screaming until my voice was hoarse, like a madwoman.

Nolan, however, remained exceptionally calm, showing no emotional fluctuation.

I'll never forget that time.

He stood before me expressionless, looking down at me.

"What did you make her do?"

That light remark instantly crushed me.

But now, I no longer want to be like I was back then.

Nolan said with a grim face, "Sloane, you've changed."

Serenity seemed to sense an unusual atmosphere.

She suddenly spoke up, "Nolan, it's raining so hard. We can't let sis walk in the rain, can we?"

Nolan pressed his lips together, as if making a firm decision, and uttered words that cut deep.

"Don't bother with her."

"She's strong-willed. A little rain won't hurt her."

"It's not like she'll die."

The man's voice was too cold.

But my steps didn't falter. I walked straight out without looking back. Sis

The rain poured down in sheets, shrouding everything in mist.

Serenity's villa was located in the suburbs. In the dead of night, it was impossible to catch a cab.I searched for several rounds but couldn't find a single hotel, so I had to curl up on a park bench, eyes wide open until daybreak.

When I finally dragged my exhausted body back home,

The moment I opened the door, I was greeted by Nolan's dissatisfied scolding.

He frowned, as if he couldn't see my soaking wet clothes.

"Sloane, who taught you to stay out all night?"
