Chapter 1178: Neither a Good Man nor a Lover
"A duck worth one thousand bucks isn’t hard to find on the streets! The price I gave you wasn’t low either, so what’s with the anger, Young Master Floyd? If it weren’t for the medicine from your fiancée last night, I wouldn’t have needed to spend that thousand bucks at all! I’m caught in the crossfire of your marital disputes, and now you want to hold me accountable?"Jose Floyd’s face was extremely grim, and his gaze at Nicole was devoid of any warmth, cold as frost.
Nicole tossed her bag into the wardrobe, turned coldly, and went into the bathroom.
The bathroom door closed. Nicole leaned her back against it, her face showing fatigue, as a faint pain in her lower abdomen made her instinctively clutch her stomach.
Her face was somewhat pale. Her stomach had been frequently cramping lately, and she didn’t know why.
The sound of a door being slammed shut from outside made Nicole sigh in relief.
He was finally gone—
Nicole took a shower and, while changing clothes, noticed some blood on her pants, frowning slightly, "My period’s becoming more and more irregular. It didn’t come last month, and only this little bit this month. Is it the side effect of the birth control pills?"
After changing her clothes, Nicole went downstairs and ran into Olivia Summer and Andrea Greenwood having breakfast, both of whom looked at her with a somewhat complicated expression.
During breakfast, Olivia Summer smiled slightly and asked, "Have you finished the herbal tea, Nicole?"
Nicole shook her head, "There’s still some left. Auntie, I’ve consulted a colleague from my medical school days about your condition. I’ll write down the precautions for you later; with proper care, there shouldn’t be any major problems."
"Alright, thank you for your concern." Olivia Summer smiled faintly.
After breakfast, Nicole returned to her room, took some paper and a pen, wrote down some precautions for Olivia Summer’s condition, and handed it to her.
Leaving Olivia Summer’s room, she encountered Andrea Greenwood, who seemed to be waiting specifically for her, looking a bit somber.
As soon as she came out, Andrea Greenwood stood up straight, her gaze and expression both somewhat stern, "Let’s talk downstairs."
Her voice lacked its usual gentleness, carrying a coldness that was somewhat akin to Jose Floyd’s. Nicole followed Andrea Greenwood down the stairs in high heels.
They stopped by the deserted poolside, Andrea Greenwood halting her steps, and Nicole followed suit.
"Last night, were you in Brother Jose’s room?" A straightforward query, with no beating around the bush, Andrea Greenwood’s eyes were fixed directly on Nicole.
Nicole met Andrea Greenwood’s gaze, "Miss Greenwood, what do you want to say?"
"You have a past with Brother Jose, right?" Pressing once more, her gaze became more aggressive.
Nicole looked at Andrea Greenwood, surprised, but quickly guessed why Andrea knew about this. The person who knew about her past with Jose Floyd was Camden.
Camden, who was Jose Floyd’s right-hand man, talking about these things with Andrea, Jose Floyd’s fiancée, wasn’t surprising.
"Yes, I had entanglements with Jose Floyd before, but not the kind of romantic entanglement you’re suspecting. You needn’t worry about my presence, as I’m no threat to you."
"What if I ask you to leave Clearflower Estate?" Andrea Greenwood’s gaze swept over Nicole, her intentions unclear.
"Nothing would please me more." Nicole’s expression and words were both calm and indifferent.
"You truly don’t love Brother Jose, nor have any other thoughts about him?" Andrea Greenwood narrowed her eyes at Nicole, her voice deep.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. He’s neither my soulmate nor my sweetheart; to me, he’s no different from any man on the street. If there’s a difference, it’s that I hate him more than anyone else in the world. Does that count as a special thought? If it does, then yes, I have one."
