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

Chapter 39: Vicki was fighting to keep her head above water. Nyla responded with a strained smile, "It's not safe for you here anymore, Claudine. We need to find you somewhere else to live." Claudine seemed about to object, then paused, understandingly nodding instead. "Alright." "It's urgent-we need to move out today." "Today?" Claudine expressed her surprise with a concerned whisper, looking downward. "Nyla, are they using me to get to you?" Nyla was momentarily taken aback, the impulse to deny Claudine's statement strong.

Yet, the genuine look in Claudine's eyes made her pause, her response caught in her throat as she averted her gaze. Claudine placed her teacup gently on the table, her demeanor serene as she sat back on the couch. "Let them come, Nyla. I refuse to be a burden. Go ahead with your plans; you shouldn't worry about me." "How can you even say that?" Nyla responded instantly, her tone resolute. "I promised my brother I would look after you. Leaving you is out of the question." Claudine remained silent, her steady gaze meeting Nyla's.

With a sigh, Nyla admitted to herself that Claudine could be incredibly stubborn. "The situation isn't as grave as you think, Claudine. Everything's been handled already." "Then I'm staying put," Claudine replied simply. Frustration mounting, Nyla took a seat beside Claudine, her usual composure slipping. "You're not a burden, Claudine. I need you here." Claudine couldn't help but smile faintly at Nyla's earnest plea. "Don't fret over me," she insisted. "It's merely a precaution," Nyla explained. "Nothing concrete has occurred yet. But I can't just ignore you.

I'm holding onto the hope that once my brother is free, we'll reunite as a family." Read more chapters at gⱯlnσνls․com Claudine softly patted her on the head, her expression sympathetic. "I worry about you, Nyla. Battling the Brooks, digging into the past, and caring for me-it's too much. Do you really need to pursue this investigation?" With unwavering conviction, Nyla replied, "I've already uncovered some leads. There's no turning back now. You remember how tough those years were." "I get it." Ultimately, Claudine agreed to move, although not immediately.

Today was not sufficient to organize everything. Still, she packed the necessities and left with Nyla that day. Nyla had arranged a larger, two-bedroom apartment for her in a better neighborhood near Bonnie's place. From the day Ryland threatened her, Nyla had been planning to transfer Claudine to a safer place. Today's clash with the Fowler family had been resolved sooner than anticipated. Nevertheless, Nyla remained wary of the deceitful Ryland. After getting Claudine settled, the two shared a meal outdoors.

Nyla then set off alone, her thoughts already strategizing the next move with the Higgins family. . . .
