Chapter 257 No More Promises (1/2)

Nicholas didn't have much interest in food but if it was involved in his personal affairs, he would not let it go. It was almost every man's instinct to not give up on a challenge.

He then launched an attack and set his plan in motion. He started by either buying all the drinks that Iris recommended, or giving her a huge tip.

He even pretended to run into her by chance on her way home.

With such dedication and persistence, no woman could get away from this hot pursuit. He continued to pursue Iris by sweet words and gestures concealing the fact that he was already married. As a result, his efforts were not in vain and Iris eventually fell in love with him. They were so happy that they couldn't withstand the thought of being away from each other.

”So you mean to say that my mother had an affair?” Amelia's cold voice broke the silence. The dread atmosphere in the room made it hard for anyone to breathe.

”I didn't mean that.” Nicholas suddenly became very nervous. He hastily explained, ”It's all my fault. I loved your mother so much at that time and made a lot of promises to her...”

This explanation did not make Amelia feel any better. On the contrary, she felt that Nicholas and Iris had betrayed their families at the same time.

”My mother didn't tell you...” She wanted to know whether Nicholas knew about the existence of her, but she couldn't ask anymore.

Nicholas understood what Amelia wanted to know. He explained slowly, ”I knew your mother was pregnant, but she insisted that the baby was not mine. At that time, all I could do to help was to give her some money, but she didn't take it...”

”What a pity! Do you think you can use money to buy people?” Amelia couldn't help but

servant asked her if she would stay in the mansion to have meal, but she declined and left.
