Chapter 1843 Freedom
Given that I was filled with guilt over Rose’s death, Nick’s words unleashed the pent-up emotions within
me.
Suddenly, Nathaniel reached out to grab me. Before I could react, he launched an uppercut and
knocked the wind out of Nick. After which, Nick was taken away.
“Nick!” Despite my attempt to get to him, I was powerless against Nathaniel’s strength. All I could do
was scream, “Let me go! Let me go, you b*stard!”
Having lost his patience, Nathaniel grabbed both my arms and forcefully turned me to face him.
“You told me that you won’t harm my family. Are you going back on your word?” I bellowed. Despite the
sharp pain in my bones, I didn’t wince at all.
“It’s up to you whether I keep my promise or not.” With a darkening gaze, Nathaniel broke into a vicious
smile. “I don’t like to see you crying, Scarlett. The next time I see him make you cry, he will have to pay
for it with his life.”
“In that case, you should kill yourself first! The person who hurt me the most is you, and no one else.”
Stung by my words, Nathaniel was shocked momentarily. However, he quickly regained his
viciousness. “Don’t try and reason with me. In my world, you’re the one who’s being unreasonable.
Despite how much I compromised with you, why don’t you ever learn what’s good for you?”
“In that case, stop tolerating my actions!” Just when I was desperately struggling, I was struck by an
idea. Taking the ring off my finger, I threw it away in front of him. “I don’t want this nor you anymore! I
don’t need a crazy control freak in my life!”
Ding! Ding!
A crisp clink was heard the moment the ring hit the ground. After rolling by the window, it finally came to
a stop.
Nathaniel had let go of me the second I threw the ring away. His eyes trailed the ring’s trajectory until it
fell onto the floor. As if he was frozen, he continued to stare blankly at it.
The silence that ensued was deafening.
Under such uncertain circumstances, I wasn’t sure if I had crossed his threshold. As if I had lost it, I
was ready to die. “Go on, make it quick.”
After staring intently at the ring for a long time, Nathaniel suddenly walked over and put it back into his
palm before walking away just like that.
As I watched his silhouette disappear out the door, it felt surreal to me.
Given that the ring was the only thing he asked of me, I was surprised he didn’t react to me throwing it
away.
Perhaps, breaking a promise never meant anything to him at all.
Nevertheless, I was unable to imagine what Nathaniel was going to do to Nick. Despite feeling
pessimistic about his fate, I was powerless to do anything.
As for Ashton, Nathaniel had realized that he was none other than a Trojan horse. Therefore, I
wondered how many more life-threatening plots Ashton was going to face within the perilous
environment he was in.
Consequently, I spent the rest of the day feeling unsettled. When it was close to dinnertime, the sound
of a car stopping could be heard.
Now that security at the Fuller residence was airtight, it could be no one else other than Nathaniel.
Just when he entered and prepared to head upstairs, he saw me pacing back and forth in the living
hall. He then put a bag in front of me before taking a seat.
When I glanced at it and couldn’t tell what it was, I asked, “What’s that for?”
“A phone, a bank card, and car keys,” Nathaniel plainly replied.
“And then?” Why is he giving me these?
“The guards outside have been ordered to back down. From today onward, you can go wherever you
please,” Nathaniel declared.
My first response was to narrow my eyes and doubt his intentions.
“There’s no need to be surprised. I just felt the need to change my approach. Since you don’t
appreciate my way of treating you well, I’ll do it your way instead. I will continue to love you, but you will
still have your freedom.” Nathaniel’s gaze was so calm that I couldn’t read his emotions.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
