Chapter 847 - Nicolaes Decision (1/2)
Nicolae did not think he would feel so sad when he read that information. Apparently, Marie annulled their marriage when the three-month deadline was almost over.
Did it take long to annul because Marie was busy, or did she secretly liked Nicolae and hoped that they would somehow be able to meet again ...?
And what's worse, as it turned out, Marie did it right on the day Nicolae landed in Singapore. The man now felt very stupid.
Why did it take so long for him to realize his own feelings?
If he had realized sooner that he actually loved Marie, he would undoubtedly choose to meet her in Singapore before leaving for F Island. He could immediately confirm his feelings.
After learning that information, Nicolae was pensive, and his expression turned sad. His family could see the change in his mood that night. He became silent and unfocused. Even Altair and Vega, who had always been his center of attention, could not cheer him up. The man could only apologize many times because he didn't pay attention when they came to him to talk.
”You're not yourself today,” Terry commented after dinner, and they were sitting on the balcony in the third villa with Rune. ”Is there bad news?”
Nicolae could only nod weakly. ”Good news and bad news. You could say that.”
”What's the good news, and what's the bad news? Do you enjoy torturing me with half-ass information?” grumbled Terry.
Nicolae sighed softly. ”The good news is ... I think I already know my feelings for Marie. I don't need to meet her to confirm how I feel about her. I have realized that... I am really in love with her. Marie is a very amazing girl.”
Terry's eyes sparkled with joy. He was happy to see Nicolae, as he had expected, recover from his heartbreak with Aleksis, and had fallen in love with another woman.
”So... what's the bad news?”
”The bad news is... Marie has annulled our marriage.” Nicolae looked very sad when he uttered that sentence.
Before discovering that Marie did annul their marriage, at his request, Nicolae had secretly imagined how pleasant it would be to live together with her forever.
Unfortunately, that would not happen. Maybe now Marie had even found another man and was in love with him.
”Hey ... hey, don't be sad. Frown doesn't suit your face,” Terry said. ”Listen, the annulment is meaningless. As you said yourself, Marie has to think about her future, and there is no way she could maintain a fake marriage with a man who has left and hasn't given any word to her. All you need to do is meet with her in person and confess your feelings for her. I'm sure she will accept you.”
”Do you think so?” Nicolae sounded doubtful.
”Of course. Listen to my words. You are every woman's ideal man. You are handsome, intelligent, and have a charming personality. If I was a girl or gay, I would definitely fall in love with you,” Terry said. He actually wanted to support his best friend, but his words had instead made Nicolae frown.
”DO NOT fall in love with me,” said Nicolae, frowning. ”Anyone is allowed to fall in love with, but you. Anyone but you.”
”Goddamn it! Do you think I am not good enough for you, huh? You're lucky if someone like me falls in love with you. I have a high standard,” Terry grumbled back.
After glaring at each other for a few seconds, the two finally burst out laughing. Terry and Nicolae had a very close friendship, so they felt very comfortable throwing insults and demeaning each other.
