Chapter 1198 Another E-Mail (1/2)

”Was it Darren? Has he mistreated you badly?”

There was only the hurry of concern, but no trace of impatience, in Carlos's voice.

Nora seemed unable to bear it any longer, and she burst out, ”I said that I'm fine! And even if I am not, it has nothing to do with you. Who do you think you are? What right do you have to judge me and meddle in my affairs? Shouldn't you be deliriously happy about seeing me suffer? Perhaps I deserve it because I abandoned you since you were too poor?”

After Nora had finished her emotional storm, large tears slowly rolled down her cheeks, and her voice had become hoarse, reflecting her exhaustion.

Carlos's hands trembled slightly, and his face was full of disbelief.

”I have never even considered that,” he said in a trembling voice. His heart ached at her accusations. ”I...I always hoped you could live a good life. I have never wanted to laugh at you.”

Nora was tethering on the verge of a complete emotional breakdown. She didn't want this man to see her in such a pitiful state and remember her like this for the rest of his life.

But at this point, her last shred of self-esteem was also ruined. The last veil that had concealed her body had been torn, and she was left naked under the gaze of everyone.

”It doesn't matter whether you have money or not. The most important thing is that you have seen it. If there is nothing else, I will leave now.”

Nora struggled to climb down from the bed. Her lips were pale with the last echoes of her tension.

As she arrived at the door of the room, Carlos hurried to her side and, blocking the door, said in a sad voice, ”Yesterday, my parents asked me to return. They said they wanted me to meet a good girl and to get married. I compromised!”

When Nora heard these words, her body stiffened. Finally, as she spoke, her voice was barely noticeable over its trembling. ”That's good. I wish you happiness, and I know that you will be good to that girl.”
