Since hearing Aiden's voice, Nina has lost the will to do anything. He was sure Aiden had been crying, he could hear it in his voice. She knew Aiden loved her very much, but somehow she always felt that they weren't meant to be together."Nina, you're not drinking? How about I order you a soda?" Ask Depney."I'm fine! Where's the Captain?""You don't need to look for him! Look, he prefers to be alone in that corner like a madman. He even orders tea at the bar, you freak!" Depney said while pointing at Gavin who was sitting alone in the corner of the room.Bella was seen trying to approach him and it immediately caught the attention of all of them."He really doesn't give up! Wouldn't it be better for him to just accept my feelings? Instead of going to such lengths to chase after a man who has rejected him so many times!" Jean said while sipping a glass of beer."Rejected time and time again? Bella? Really?""Yes, Bella is quite aggressive too! I salute her strong will!" Depney said, w

Nina was speechless, seeing Aiden's face that looked so hurt. He didn't know what Aiden went through in his childhood and Aiden's smile made him understand that there was a pain that was still stored in his heart.Nina touched Aiden's face gently and kissed his cheek softly. Aiden smiled seeing Nina pampering him. He could see so much love in this woman's eyes and it made him happy."You're right, I also don't want to spend my life with someone I don't love.""You love me?""You still doubt it?""I just feel sick and I really want to meet Victor, your insolent boss!""Why are we talking about him?""Because he tried to abuse you, I can't forgive you! Why didn't you tell me that night?""I'm afraid you'll get into trouble with him!""So you think I'll just shut up?""Aiden, I-""He was still in the office when you came out?""Y-yes!""How did you run away from him?""Someone is helping me!""Is it true?""Yeah, that's Captain Gavin, the guy I was with!" Nina said. Hearing Nina's explan

Gavin stepped into the storage room, looking for the printer ink he wanted to use. At first he thought Nina was still in this room, but apparently the girl had left. Feeling strange with himself, don't know since when did he care so much about other people. Beside him, a trash can lying uncovered, he saw something that stood out among the piles of paper waste. "This?" He took it and knew exactly what it was. This is a bracelet with Nina's American flag motif. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, he didn't know why Nina just threw this bracelet away. "Tsk, what a hassle! What can I do?" He muttered. He realized that he couldn't hide this any longer because in truth a child would definitely remember someone who was so meritorious to them. Gavin tucked the bracelet in his trouser pocket and stepped out of the storage room. He saw Nina had just returned from the office warehouse to get paper. He approached the girl with a cold and flat expression as usual. "Nina!" He said callin

Hearing Gavin's confession, Nina was speechless. In the past, she had hoped that she and her brother could live with Gavin when Gavin planned to adopt them both. But at that time, Gavin was an active duty soldier and too young to raise two children without being married. "Everyone went against my will. I couldn't do anything, I couldn't defend you two. I'm sorry, I didn't even really try to fight for you. Maybe at that time I was just afraid of being burdened, I was afraid of being responsible for other people's lives. I'm afraid that I can't make you happy. I'm sorry!" "Do you think that after returning to our original place we will be happy? I just feel as if I have returned to hell after struggling to free myself. I was raised by distant relatives who were forced to take care of us in order to get benefits from the government. We were rarely fed and even had to live in their pigpen for years. I couldn't do anything but endure the pain. Many times I tried to give up and end my lif

Aiden stared at the ceiling of his room, he felt an emptiness in his soul every time he remembered his bitter past. He had to admit that he hated every time he remembered this, let alone talk about it to other people. However, he knew this was the right time for him to express all the feelings he had, including his past pain and trauma. In his arms, Nina lay with her eyes closed, but he knew that this woman was not really asleep. She was waiting for Aiden's promise to share something with her. "Are you asleep yet?" Asked Aiden who finally opened the conversation after minutes of struggling in silence. "No, I'm not sleeping. I was waiting for you." She said. Nina raised her head and body from Aiden's embrace who was still lying naked. Aiden smiled, his eyes pushed Nina to kiss those sweet lips. Nina gave a short kiss which actually made Aiden tempted again and returned the kiss a little longer. "It's fine if you don't want to tell you now. I won't force you, if it ends up hurting
