After Nicholas walked Remus out the door, he thought for a moment before he asked
Edward to get the car. Although he had refused Remus’ suggestion to talk to Wanda, he
still had to visit Horace out of respect.
After Nicholas entered the ward, he stood upright beside the bed, looking elegant. “How
are you feeling, Mr. Muller?” Nicholas asked respectfully.
However, Horace acted coldly toward him and said, “Can’t you see the state I’m in?” He
was implying that Nicholas was asking a stupid question.
Nicholas didn’t mind his attitude and said calmly, “I can see that you are quite high-
spirited. You should be fine.”
Horace almost choked on his own saliva, and he got even more upset. Then, he seemed to
have remembered something and huffed. “Why are you here? Are you here to make up for
things?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Make up for things?” Nicholas was startled. However, he soon figured out what Horace
meant and frowned. “You must have misunderstood me, Mr. Muller. I don’t think that I owe
anything to you or Wanda.”
Horace’s face darkened. “Judging by your words, are you saying that everything that
happened has nothing to do with you?” He stared at Nicholas sharply
Nicholas didn’t recoil from his stare and stared right back at him. “That’s right. To be
honest, it was your family’s own wishful thinking from the start. Never have I once said
that I wanted to marry Wanda or anything that might be misconstrued. The woman I love
has always been my wife.”
As Nicholas talked about Tessa, his facial features softened, and adoration filled his eyes.
When Horace saw the changes in his expression, he felt upset.
“Is she that good?” After all, in Horace’s eyes, Wanda was perfect. He would never be able
to understand how Tessa, a commoner, was better than his granddaughter.
Seeing the frustration in Horace’s eyes, Nicholas smiled and replied, “My wife is an
outstanding person. She is a self-motivated and aspirational woman. I have to admit that
Miss Muller is also an amazing woman, but they are not the same.” Then, he paused for a
moment before changing the topic. “Moreover, this matter has been a mistake from the
start. Since you didn’t cut your losses, you have to accept the consequences!”
Horace retorted, “Your Grandpa had a say in this too. If it weren’t for him, I would never
have let Wanda near you.”
“You’re right. Grandpa indeed had such intentions before, but I rejected his request. My
intentions were very clear. What’s more, everyone is their own person and shouldn’t be
controlled by others, even if the people controlling them are the elders,” Nicholas rebuked
calmly. Horace was rendered speechless.
To be honest, this has nothing to do with Nicholas since he has made his intentions clear
from the start. It was I who didn’t stop Wanda even when I knew what she was like,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthought Horace. To be honest, he was trying to push his luck to see if Nicholas would
change his mind.
In the end, Horace sighed and agreed with Nicholas’ words. “You have a clear mind.”
When Nicholas saw that Horace had let go of this matter, he nodded and left.
Right after Nicholas walked out of the ward, he bumped into Wanda who had bruises on
her face.
When Wanda saw Nicholas walking toward her, she was stunned, but then she became
furious. She blocked his path and questioned him, “What are you doing here? Are you here
to laugh at me?”
“I came here to visit Mr. Muller,” Nicholas replied coldly as he frowned.
Wanda felt fury rise in her as she looked at his expressionless face. Then, she smirked and
said mockingly, “Grandpa doesn’t need your fake pity, Nicholas. It’s better if you stay
home with your wife!”
