Chapter 1714 Jealous
Being experienced in a relationship, Nina could see right through Maya. She knew Maya’s current mood was affected by her relationship. It seems like she still hasn’t let Wilbur go.
Wilbur’s face darkened even more when he heard that Maya was not doing well.
Letting out a sigh, Nina remarked, “What exactly is your relationship with that woman? Is she really pregnant with your baby?”
Hearing that, Wilbur was stupefied as he kept silent.
Nina, being the observant person she was, instantly noticed the man’s change in expression. Studying Wilbur closely, she realized that the situation must be more than meets the eye.
Maybe there’s something he can’t disclose.
After a long silence, Wilbur plastered a desolate smile on his face. “Help me tell Maya that I’m sorry. I hope she can live happily.”
Frowning, Nina continued to observe Wilbur. “So you’re planning to disappear from Maya’s world entirely? You’re not going to be with her anymore?”
Wilbur fell silent again. However, his clenched fists betrayed his stoic look.
“Wilbur, what exactly happened? You can tell me. Maybe I can help you.”
Wilbur merely gave her another bleak smile. No one can help me.
“I don’t need any help. Please excuse me. I have something to do.”
With that, he spun around and strode toward his car.
Staring at his leaving back, Nina had a feeling that Wilbur was hiding something. I don’t think the situation between him and that pregnant woman is that simple.
“Ms. Nina, what are you looking at?”
Turning toward Stephen, Nina flashed him a smile. “Nothing.”
When Stephen spotted Wilbur opening the car door and entering the vehicle, his brows creased slightly.
“That guy is not bad looking.”
Stephen’s words surprised Nina, as she did not expect he would comment on Wilbur’s looks.
Nodding in agreement, Nina replied, “Yeah, you can tell he’s outstanding just from one glance.” Just like you.
Outstanding?
Stephen was uncomfortable with Nina praising another guy. “His clothing did seem expensive. I bet he’s from a wealthy family. I guess only guys like him are suitable for you.”
Whipping her head around, Nina noticed the frown on his face.
Why does he sound jealous?
All of a sudden, she broke out laughing. “Do you really believe he’s a good match for me? Or are you just saying that because you’re jealous?”
What she said struck a nerve within Stephen, for he did feel jealous, but he was too embarrassed to admit it.
Nina cracked a smile when she saw him trying to smooth out the nervous expression on his face. Feeling playful, she purposely agreed with him, “You’re right. Maybe I should take him into consideration.”
Stephen tugged the corner of his lips into an awkward smile, which Nina found funny. Casting him a glance, she took her leave in quick steps.
However, she was in a cheerful mood. Stephen being jealous of Wilbur was something she had not anticipated. It surprised her and filled her with joy. That should be enough to prove that Stephen cares about me, right? Since one only gets jealous when they care.
Seeing the woman drive away, Stephen was left with complex feelings.
He kept feeling the need to be close to Nina recently—both emotionally and physically. Lately, all he could ever think about was Nina. Her smiles and her serious expression when she worked filled his thoughts frequently.
He wanted to confess and ask Nina out.
However, the courage he gathered each time would be buried, as he worried that Nina would think his feelings were “leftovers” from Chris’ heart. Fearing she would reject him for that reason, he gave up in the end.
Seeing Nina’s interest in another guy, he had to find a chance to confess his feelings soon.
He realized however she would respond didn’t matter. He needed to tell her about his feelings. The ones buried deep within him. It was a love he craved, so it would be worth the fight.
