Chapitre 693: Auction XII

[Back at the auction house]

When Zoey left, Nikolai watched her back without paying attention to anything else. Deep down, he hoped that she'd look back at him.

She didn't. 

"Tch." Nikolai clicked his tongue.

Zoey just left without a second hesitation. His jaw tightened upon the thought.

Why won't she care for him even just for a little bit? She did, though. But he ruined it into smithereens.

He might not say it aloud, but Nikolai was aware of that. He was aware that his actions the second he riddled Kenneth Bai's car with bullets had made her go further beyond his reach.

But what else could he do? Whether he did something or stayed on the sidelines, she'd just run off with another man. 

First, with Ezekiel Tang who was not any less than trash. And then, Matthew. 

Nikolai never found Ezekiel a threat and that was why he didn't do anything to bring her back. But Matthew was different.
