Chapter 886 The Shameless Woman (1/2)
Nora was down and out, but what she received from David was his indifference rather than his sympathy. How could David treat her so cruelly by disassociating himself from his relationship with her? Nora looked at David, her eyes flooded with sadness and anger.
”How could you say I'm heartless? Huh?” David inquired with a sneer.
Nora had chosen to marry Darren even though she had clearly known that David had had a crush on her. Wasn't she the most heartless woman in the world? However, she was suddenly turning around to criticize David now! How could she?
”Yes, I am! Nora, you finally understand how I felt at that time when you hurt me so deeply. I was so stupid then. All I want you to know now is that I shall only love Rita for the rest of my life!” David said firmly.
”David, don't treat me this way! You have always been a kind person. And you can't just stand aside and refuse to help me. Darren doesn't allow me to go out and he locks me in the room all day. I can't bear it! You must help me!” Nora sobbed.
She came over to David and grabbed his arm as if David was her last hope. But it turned out that she had failed to win David's sympathy. He shook off Nora's hands rudely while looking at her in disgust.
”Get away! I don't want to have any physical contact with you! I am sick of you!” David warned.
David pushed Nora with such a strong force that she stumbled back a few steps. She pretended to fall, waiting for David to support her.
She expected that David would catch her, but he didn't. Finally, she lost her balance and fell onto the floor, hitting it hard.
Feeling a mixture of pain and sadness, Nora burst out into tears. She hadn't expected that David could be so cold to her. ”David! You're breaking my heart! Why can't you be there for me when I need you?” Nora cried desperately.
”Stop pretending. I know you well. All you're doing now is trying to get my sympathy for you! It won't work any longer!” David sneered. He didn't move one bit and looked at Nora as if he was looking at a pathetic comedy.
Nora paused in astonishment and then her face flushed with anger. ”David, enough! Are you really going to do this to me? I don't think you wouldn't give a hand to a stranger in trouble, let alone your old friend, right?” she said hopefully.
David hesitated. She didn't deserve his sympathy after what she had done to him and his family. But it seemed improper to turn a blind eye to her. He was a well-behaved gentleman who, in everyone else's eyes, would never be so rude to a lady even if she was wicked.
At last, David relented and stretched out his hand to her even though he detested any kind of bodily contact with her.
Nora was delighted to see that David was finally offering his hand to her. She had convinced him with her slippery tongue. She grasped his hand firmly and stood up from the ground with his help.
