Chapter 95

"Can I leave now?"

Emily asked, her voice calm despite the tension in the room. When Nicholas didn’t respond, she turned on her heel and left without another word.

Nicholas remained in the private room for a moment, his jaw clenched as he processed everything. After a while, he returned to the main area, though his mood hadn’t lightened.

Meanwhile, Emily had lost her appetite and barely touched her food. After paying the bill, she left the restaurant with Lily. As they walked back, Lily couldn’t contain her frustration. She vented her dissatisfaction with Nicholas.

“I used to admire him, but today he was too overbearing,” Lily said, shaking her head.

“I really don’t like men like that. It’s exhausting just being around him. Emily, why don’t we just leave everything behind and go somewhere far? That way, you won’t have to worry about Nicholas finding out about your pregnancy.”
