To Love You Again, My Husband
Chapter 84: Want to be With You Third Person’s POV
Nicole sighed in exhaustion and unlocked the door. She hadn’t been sleeping well these days, and even caught a cold adding to the stress and pressure that she had been receiving from her agency. She coughed, finding it difficult to open the door for some reason.
“Ah, why are you not opening… this is so frustrating.”
Then, someone light-footed, came behind her and snatched the key from her. She almost immediately jabbed the man had it been not for recognizing him in the process. Rather than hitting him, what settled in her mind was confusion. Why was he here?
She helplessly sighed, “Lance, didn’t I already tell you not to cross the line?,” she rolled her eyes, closing the unlocked door and grabbing her keys from the man she called Lance.
She frowned at him, tilting her head. She had warned him multiple times not to show up in front of her again, but he just had to disobey and present himself in front of her again. Under the dim light, Lance’s expression was dark and nostalgic as if he was currently reminiscing the old times he had spent with the woman in front of him.
Nicole folded her arms, scoffing in disbelief.
“I’ve already parted ways with you so be a little respectful and live your life.”
He clenched his fists, questioning her directly. “Do you really want this kind of life? You were chasing after a married man and yet you haven’t learned your lesson?”
In an instant, Lance didn’t even hear her response, but a slap landed on his cheek. She fumed in anger, feeling so annoyed that among all the people she knew, such words would come out of his mouth. She rolled her eyes; her hand was tingling from the pain sensation.
“I don’t want to get involved with you any further so leave and don’t show up in front of me again,” she seriously stated, “Lance, we’re over and you can’t give me what I need.”
“What about in the future? Can’t you really settle being with me? Yes, I may not have the fancy cars, the big mansion, and the pieces of jewelries he could afford, but I have my sincerity.”
He lowered his head, feeling weak and hopeless when it comes to Nicole. He pursed his lips, almost wanting to yell how much his heart screamed her name and how much he missed her.
“Do you not even consider that we had was genuine and pure? I am aware that you broke up with me to give your family a better future, but can’t you do that with me, instead?”
Nicole couldn’t immediately react, held up by her swelling emotions.
She dismissively waved her hands, “What does your future holds? What you have is a mere small store and what I want is more than that. Can you give me a diamond ring, can you give me a brand-new SUV?,” she mockingly snickered, “I doubt that even branded set of clothes will cause you poverty.”
“Nicole, what do you-”
“And also, what do you know you can assure a future with me? The lifestyle I want entirely varied from how you envision it. I want money the first requirement, but you don’t have that.” She ridiculed him by shaking her head, scorning at his shortcomings with the most hurtful words she could ever think of.
Sarcastically, she gritted her teeth and loudly cussed which shocked the hoping Lance.
“What can your small store give me? A few branded clothes but what I want is complete branded of clothes.”
Lance wanted to hold her hand but when she dodged it, he gave up and sighed.
“But are you really fine with chasing after a married man? Because what you’re doing right now is simply making a fool out of yourself?”
“What?!” she raised her voice, feeling insulted, “Simply making a fool out of myself? What do you know?! Do you know how much I suffered just to get where I am today! And you, you won’t be the person to ruin it because you are nothing compared to me!”
She left these mean words that shattered Lance’s heart. Yet he stayed standing in front of her, drooping his head.
He asked in a melancholic and almost mocking himself by, “Right, I only have a small store. I don’t have much to offer equaled to what Jackson could, but you’ll be living your life missing out the fun. You’re focused on making money and using someone for an easier path, but haven’t you noticed that it’s not worth it?”
“Stop, Lance-”
“How long are you going to live stupidly?! What about yourself, can’t you think about yourself more other than the wealth you want to accumulate?”
In that instant, Nicole couldn’t speak as if she had just been shut up by him. She gritted her teeth, looking at his fuming anger and frustration. In the end, she rolled her eyes and opened the door to her house.
Before Lance could retract his words back, she had already banged the door right in front of his face.
Lance blinked his eyes, sighing loudly.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“I just want to be with you…”
He closed his eyes, gently putting his hand over the door.
