Chapter 8
"Who said we broke up? I never agreed, so it doesn't count."
She glared hatefully at Emma. "It must be this woman seducing you, right? You slut..."
To prevent her from continuing to make a scene, I apologized to Emma and said goodbye, grabbing Nadia's sleeve and pulling her outside.
When we got to a quiet place, my face darkened. She had completely ruined my mood.
"What exactly do you want?"
Seeing my anger, the fury on Nadia's face froze. Then her eyes reddened with hurt.
"Are you really going to abandon me?"
"We've been together for so many years. You're just going to throw me away like this?"
I clenched my jaw and looked at her with disdain, not sure who had abandoned who, or who didn't care about our relationship.
"That's right. I don't want you anymore. I'm not interested in cheaters like you."
"Are you satisfied now?"
I started to walk away, but she grabbed me tightly from behind.
"Don't go."
"Nash, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."
Her tears fell one by one onto my back, scorching hot and irritating.
After half a year apart, she had finally realized that all the previous projects had been me helping her at a loss.
Those things she thought were simple became a tangled mess in others' hands. No one else would help her selflessly like I did.
In just half a year, she had experienced the pain of chasing business deals, being humiliated and trampled on by others. Only then did she think of me, think of how I drank until I vomited blood to secure deals, yet acted like nothing was wrong the next day to comfort her.
"Why didn't you tell me? If you had said something, I wouldn't have said those hurtful things to you."
People like her will always look for problems in others first. After being together for so many years, I already understood this and had no intention of arguing with her anymore.
I pried her fingers off one by one, turned to look at her, my eyes completely calm.
"Nadia, that day, I actually wanted to take you to see the Northern Lights."
She may have forgotten, but she once said she hoped the man she loved would propose to her under the Northern Lights.
I had waited so many years, waited until we had the ability to start a family, had time to accompany each other. But the person by my side had inexplicably gotten lost.
"What I found instead was proof of you being with him."
In an instant, tears of remorse welled up in Nadia's eyes.
She moved her lips, trying to defend herself, but found all her words were so weak and powerless. In the end, she could only watch my figure disappear from sight.
I thought after this incident, we would never see each other again in this lifetime.
A few days later, however, I saw Nadia again at the entrance of my company.
Kieran was standing beside her.
But the way they looked at each other was no longer as intimate and affectionate as before.
When she saw me, Nadia's dull eyes instantly lit up. She dragged Kieran over, pulling him in front of me.
"Apologize to Nash right now."
I looked confused. Kieran kept his head down, lost in thought.
Nadia flew into a rage. She grabbed his hair and slapped him hard over a dozen times.
"You bastard! It's all because of you. If you hadn't sowed discord between us, how could Nash and I have broken up?"
Kieran was beaten until his nose bled. His vision went dark and he could barely stand.
