Chasing the Unexpected

“A few days ago,” Damon replied.

Nathaniel quickly asked, “Where is she now?”

Noticing Nathaniel’s agitation, Damon took his phone back, ended the call, and turned it off. With an indifferent expression, he provided the name of a hotel.

Nathaniel immediately got up and left in a hurry, his steps slightly erratic.

Caleb looked at Damon, who remained expressionless. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. “You really don’t have any feelings left for Rebecca?”

Back in university, Damon had been aware that Nathaniel liked Rebecca and had always kept her close, not giving Nathaniel any chance to get near her. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Could it really be that Damon had moved on so completely?

Damon took a sip of his drink and replied calmly, “The moment she left for abroad and proposed breaking up, there was no more chance for us.

Caleb couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head. “That’s just like you.”

He had expected Damon to be despondent when Rebecca left, but surprisingly, Damon had returned to his old self within three days, showing no signs of heartbreak.

Caleb and Nathaniel had both assumed he kept everything bottled up, but seeing him so nonchalant today, Caleb realized that Rebecca might not hold a candle to Nyla in his heart.

“Are you serious about Nyla?” Caleb asked.

At the mention of Nyla, Damon paused, then downed his drink in one gulp.

Caleb, understanding the situation, raised an eyebrow. “You should know that being with her will be much harder than being with Rebecca.”

Rebecca had only poor family conditions, and even then, Richard and Marie had opposed their relationship. Not to mention, Nyla not only had poor conditions but had also been married to Clark.

“Who I’m with is my own business. Others have no say in it,” Damon stated.

Caleb was a bit startled. When Richard and Marie had made things difficult for Rebecca, Damon had defended her, but he hadn’t been as resolute as he was

now.

“Just make sure you’re clear about what you want,” Caleb advised.

Damon remained silent, his expression still grim.

Nathaniel arrived at Rebecca’s hotel. He had already discovered her room number on the way, but once he reached the lobby, he hesitated about whether

to go up.

While he was contemplating, a sweet voice called out from nearby, “Nathaniel?”

Nathaniel stiffened and turned to see Rebecca standing a few steps away in a white dress. His eyes widened in disbelief.

She was really back!

Seeing Nathaniel frozen in place, Rebecca walked up to him, her smile as pure and beautiful as it had been in university.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” she asked.

As she approached, the subtle fragrance of her perfume enveloped him.

Nathaniel gathered his thoughts and forced a smile. “Rebecca, what a surprise to see you here. It’s been years since we last met…”

Rebecca didn’t comment on his surprise. Instead, she softly said, “Yes, after so many years abroad, it was time to come back. There’s no place like home.”

Nathaniel paused before asking seriously, “Are you back because you want to get back together with Damon?”

“I originally thought about it, but since he already has a girlfriend, it seems impossible now,” she replied.

Seeing the disappointment and sadness on her face, Nathaniel frowned. “With

your two years of relationship with Damon, if you want to fight for him, it’s not impossible to win him back.”

“Really?” Rebecca looked at him with hopeful eyes. “Do you really think so?”

Nathaniel’s heart was heavy, but he managed a smile. “Yes.”
