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

Chapter 348: Still, he had witnessed this kind of emotional state before. The last person he knew who was consumed by hatred never found peace in the end. If only such tragedies could be prevented. Then, Nyla made her way to the main house, where a crowd had gathered, and children were playing. Everyone was dressed to impress, and their occasional glances at her didn't go unnoticed. Nyla was used to it. She approached Ethan with a detached expression and said nothing. "Why didn't you stay longer at your mother's place?" Ethan asked, surprised by her swift return.

"There's nothing to say," Nyla replied flatly. The people around them turned their attention to the pair, which made Nyla feel slightly irritated. Though accustomed to the attention, the stares felt like mockery, making her frown involuntarily. "Take a seat over there and don't even think about running. Everyone here is on my side," Ethan said. Nyla glanced across the room at the seating area. There was an empty chair in the corner, seemingly reserved for her. She gave a slight nod and walked over to sit down. Some children observed her with curiosity.

Nyla spotted a tiny little girl, sweet and impeccably well-behaved. She felt an urge to speak to her, but the girl clearly showed no interest in interacting.

Callie had come to deliver a gift to Roger, and naturally, Stella had come along. This was supposed to be her home too, yet she had to enter so inconspicuously. Stella shot Nyla a piercing glare, as if she could kill her with her stare.

She pulled out something Callie had given her, which Callie had insisted were just health supplements. Stella didn't buy it, but out of gratitude for Callie's help, she kept her silence and wouldn't expose her. The living room was bustling with servants attending to children and serving drinks. Seizing the moment, Stella discreetly slipped the drug into a drink and had a servant deliver it to Nyla. Nyla, oblivious, didn't notice anything wrong. Stella smirked in satisfaction, but as she turned, she caught sight of Ethan.

A wave of instinctive fear washed over her, prompting her to leave immediately. She couldn't risk being discovered by Ethan, so she quickly found a place to hide. . . .
