Felicia Reynolds
“Don’t worry, Nina. He gave you his most treasured pendant. He won’t have a change of heart,” stated
Maya confidently.
“Nina, since he asked you out, that means he is still thinking about you. You have to trust him and
yourself.”
Nina nodded. With Nicole and Maya’s encouragement, she got into her car and drove to the café.
Her heart was racing when she was about to enter the private room. I wonder if Chris has changed
after all these years? He should have. He must have become more mature than before.
Chris’ chiseled and handsome face appeared in her mind. She took a deep breath and knocked on the
private room door.
The door opened, but it was not the face she was looking forward to seeing. Instead, the person was a
gentle-looking woman.
Nina was shocked to see that. Why is there a woman in the room? Did I go to the wrong private room?
She was about to take a look at the room number again when she heard the woman calling out to her
sweetly. “Hello, are you Nina?”
She knows my name? Do I know her?
“I am. And you are?”
“I’m Felicia Reynolds. I’m Chris’ fiancée.”
Fiancée?
Nina was startled by the woman’s words. Her face sank as she looked at the lady before her in
disbelief. She looks beautiful and dainty, giving off a girl-next-door vibe. I have to admit that she seems
very friendly.
Felicia smiled. “Chris said you might be surprised when you see me. It’s all right. I’ll explain everything
to you. Please come in.”
Nina entered the private room and swept her eyes across the area. After seeing no signs of Chris, she
asked, “Are you the one who wanted to meet me?”
“No, it was Chris. However, he didn’t know what to say, so he asked me to come instead. He said you
are kind, and he didn’t want to hurt you. Hence, he asked me to give you the news.”
Chris asked her to come? He asked me out but sent a woman in his place?
Clutching her fingers tightly, she started to feel uncomfortable. She tried her best to maintain her
composure. “What does he want you to tell me?”
“He wanted me to tell you that he had chosen to be together with me. So, everything that used to
happen between you two has become history. He hopes you will be able to find the right person for
you.”
Felicia’s voice was soft, almost like she was afraid of startling Nina. However, the latter felt the words
pierce through her heart like sharp blades.
Clenching her fists, she took another glance at Felicia. She looks beautiful and much more mature than
me. I still don’t understand how Chris would fall in love with Felicia. Right at that moment, there was
only one thought in her mind. From now onward, I’m no longer the woman staying by Chris anymore!
Years of dreams and longing were shattered in that instant as everything came crashing down around
Nina.
Chris had been the name I called out to several times every day for these past few years. How can I
accept that he is suddenly gone from my life?
On the way home, Felicia’s words kept echoing through her mind.
“Ms. Nina, this is the wedding photo of Chris and me. I’ll give one to you. Chris and I will be getting
married next month. I’d like to invite you to our wedding. Chris is also doing very well. He is currently
the heir to the K Enterprise. Chris… “
Nina suddenly felt suffocated by the air in her car. She stepped on the brakes, rolled down the car
window, and breathed heavily.
She never expected to hear another woman mentioning the name of his beloved man over and over in
front of her. Furthermore, the woman even told her about their wedding date and the sweet memories
they had together. The pain that filled her heart was insufferable.
