Love On Ice: Don’t Leave Me, My Charming Liar

Chapter 33: "How else can I act but to follow Ryland? It's not just about you; you can't think only of yourself." Vicki's plea only fueled Nyla's frustration. It felt like the culmination of all the pent-up grievances she had been bearing. "Thinking only of myself? Vicki, if that were true, I would have left long ago instead of staying here to be used by others!" Their heated exchange upset Nolan, who, gripping his toy, burst into tears. The sound of his crying snapped both women out of their dispute. Vicki quickly dabbed at her eyes and turned to soothe Nolan. "Oh, Nolan, please don't cry.

Did we frighten you? I'm so sorry." Her voice broke slightly as she comforted him. Nyla, struggling to maintain her composure, shifted the topic, saying, "You claim you didn't betray me, but what about Dad's incident? What were his last words?" Vicki, still cradling Nolan, kept her gaze lowered. "I didn't deceive you. Just before everything happened, your dad told me to look after you well and, if possible, to flee abroad. He apologized, saying it was the only way he could protect us. It was odd, but before I could question him, he had left.

He instructed us not to reach out to anyone from Grandeagle Group." Nyla's expression deepened with confusion. "Which Grandeagle Group?" Vicki hesitated, seemingly sifting through her memories. Ulares was home to three entities bearing the Grandeagle name. After a moment, clarity returned to her eyes. "Ah, it was the Higgins family's company." "The Higgins family? The most prominent one in Ulares?" Nyla asked. "Yes, that's them. Back then, they were involved in a major project, and your dad had dinner with them, remember?

You even delivered documents to him at that meeting." As Nyla pieced together the details from those tumultuous years, realization dawned on her, her pupils dilating. The Higgins family, Callie Higgins... New chapters now on galnovels.cøm Was there indeed a connection between Callie's family and her own family's mess? Nyla's fingers tensed by her side as she stared at Vicki, her gaze cold. "Why have you kept silent all these years about these details, knowing I was investigating?" Vicki, avoiding Nyla's gaze, continued to comfort the child she held, yet her face set firmly.

"Your father left us abruptly. We've managed to move past that chapter. Why dredge it up again?" "I cannot just let it go as easily as you seem to!" Nyla snapped back, adjusting her scarf. She caught the gaze of little Nolan in Vicki's arms, his large, tear-filled eyes looking at her with a glistening smile. "Sis... sis..." he muttered, reaching out with his plump little hands, clearly wanting to be held by Nyla. An awkward silence filled the room. No one had anticipated Nolan's first words would be an affectionate call to Nyla. Frozen in place, Nyla watched in astonishment. . . .
