Chapter 61 About The Past

• Nicole stood frozen in place, not uttering a single word as she listened to what Oliver said. Her silver eyes were still red from crying earlier. It felt like a wound doused in alcohol—so raw and excruciating.
• The grand bedroom was silent, not a sound to be heard. Only their gazes met, eyes locked on each other. A look that held millions of meanings, impossible to express in words. Silence stretched on as Oliver’s confession rang out, so loud and clear.
• The word ‘love’ that Oliver spoke was like a sword piercing Nicole’s heart. Unfortunately, that confession didn’t make Nicole’s heart flutter; instead, it brought her endless pain.
