Feeling flustered in her heart, she pulled her hand back a few times, but was unable to break free.
Nick Anderson looked at her in a daze and continued: "Actually, I wanted to be honest with you a long time ago, but every time the words reached my mouth, they scare you. Seeing that you were getting closer and closer to William Walton, I was truly very anxious. I was afraid that I would be able to carefully protect the you that I had grown up in, and that someone else would snatch it away. That was the reason why I repeatedly said that I had provoked you.Laura, my feelings for you are serious, so, don't entrust all of your heart to William Walton and think about me properly, okay? I am different from him. I can throw away everything for you at any time and bring you away from this place as long as you nod your head. "
She tried her best to calm down. "Brother, let go of me first."
"Stop calling me brother."
Her voice rose a few decibels.
"Then what should I call you? Nick Anderson? boss? I'm really sorry, I can't give you any response to your feelings. No matter how sincere your feelings towards me are, I'm now a married woman. I won't do anything to betray my own husband. Taking a step back, even if I am not married, I will not be with you. Even if you are not Anderson family, not Nick Anderson or Helen Anderson's son, but you were raised by them. If you ask me which makes me feel safer between you and William Walton, I will choose him without hesitation. Because, the enemy of an enemy was a comrade—in—arms. As for you, you will never be able to feel my pain. You will only pity me, and then persuade me to be magnanimous, strong, and forgiving. And these are all things that I do not want. "
She looked down at his hand that was gripping her wrist.
"I think I've made it clear. Can you let go now?"
Nick Anderson's fingers slowly loosened.
She said in a calm manner, "You have chosen the most inappropriate time to express your own thoughts, and I can only apologize to you. I hope that you can quickly arrange this relationship and stop moving forward."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked downstairs.
Nick Anderson placed his hand on the stone table, and laughed bitterly.
Yes, this was indeed the most inappropriate time.
He should have told her the truth the first time he saw William Walton send her back to school.
He was always like this, indecisively missing out on everything he wanted.
When she returned to her room, she felt a wave of discomfort in her heart.
In the future, she wouldn't even have the chance to lie to herself anymore.
She had no brother.
For dinner that night, she ate her room.
During dinner, William Walton called her, but she didn't answer.
Very quickly, The butler knocked on the door and walked in, passing her his phone: "Ms. Walton, a video call of Mr. Walton."
She lowered her head and said, "I'm eating. I don't have time."
The butler could only say to William Walton: "Mr. Walton, Ms. Walton is eating."
William Walton was not angry, and said: "The butler, put your phone on the table, and then go out."
"Yes, Mr. Walton."
The butler put down his phone and turned to leave.
After staring at the person on the screen, she continued eating.
