Take My Cold Boss Home novel Chapter 278

"Nathan... I... "

She didn't know what to say. She could feel his sadness.

"Lily, congratulations!"

The forced smile at the corners of his mouth revealed his mind. His was really worse than crying.

What was he sad for?

This kind of sadness was actually a kind of helplessness.

He lowered his head and didn't dare to look into her eyes, but he couldn't hide his sadness.

"Thank you,"

said Lily sincerely. She didn't know how to tell this to Nathan, and it was unnecessary.

She once loved the man in front of her deeply, but that was just her one-sided love.

She was still confused whether Nathan once loved her or not.

But now, it seemed that it didn't matter. They should just take care and live their own respective life.

"I'm sorry..."

He said in a low voice, with infinite sadness in his words.

It should be a happy thing for Lily to have a baby, but he just couldn't be happy.

"You don't have to say sorry. There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing. It's just to get what we want."

Nathan wanted a career, and Lily wanted love. But in the end, both sides made a compromise, and neither of them got what they wanted.

People were fickle, let alone women. If they missed something, they would just miss it. There was no need to explain too much.

"Lily, I want to ask you a question."

He raised his head and looked into her eyes. "Have you ever loved me?"

"Yes... I guess. "

She hesitated for a while before replying.

She never denied it. Her feelings when she was young had long been unclear.

As time went by, those strange emotions had disappeared.

It was not until she met him again that the fluster she had imagined became ordinary again.

"I have imagined many scenes when I met you. I scolded you, beat you, and then cried hard. But later, I really met you again, but I didn't have any feelings. I just felt you were an old acquaintance. I knew that I really didn't care anymore."

She thought that everything would be fine.

Hearing this, Nathan felt as if a knife were piercing his heart. He felt that he was too heartless, but at the same time, he was gratified. After all, Lily had once fallen in love with him, although it had already been the past.

"I'm sorry..."

He didn't know how to answer but kept apologizing.

He had always been smart, but now he became so stupid that he didn't know what to do.

He stood up and walked to the window, letting the breeze blow his hair.

He needed to calm down and repent.

"Don't be sorry. The past is the past. Thank you for being so kind to me all the time."

She didn't think Nathan should be blamed. They were all adults. There was no absolute right or wrong.

"Lily, I..."

He paused and didn't know what to say.

"Hum?"

She was waiting for him to finish.

"You must be happy."

Otherwise, he would feel remorseful and spend the rest of his life in regret.

He regretted that he hadn't cherished the girl earlier and that he had done something stupid.
