Chapter 443


    He didn’t know if this choice of his was right or wrong. All that he knew was that Nicole was an


    obsession embedded deep into his very soul.


    When Rocky saw the look on his face, his heart sank as realization dawned on him. Perhaps Evan


    really loved Nicole more than he did.


    However, seeing the woman whom he had liked for so many years with another man was easier said


    than done.


    The current Rocky didn’t have the tolerance for that. Hence, he would fight for her whenever it was


    necessary.


    Night fell and Rocky’s phone abruptly rang. Nicole had brought forward the meeting time.


    After their previous conversation over the phone, she kept wondering what Rocky meant when he said


    that he would be as good as dead.


    She surmised that perhaps Rocky had fallen severely ill and needed her to treat him.


    Treating illnesses to save lives wasn’t something that could be dyed, so she decided to meet him


    sooner.


    “Rocky, I’m heading over to the location you sent me right now. Hurry up and meet me there!”


    “Okay, Nicole. I’ll go there right now.”


    After the call ended, Rocky looked at Evan.


    Evan was quite satisfied with his performance. He gave John, who was beside him, a pointed look


    before rushing towards the location to meet Nicole.


    Rocky and his phone had been under John and a few bodyguards’ watchful eyes the whole time, and


    he had no freedom whatsoever.


    Evan had clearly stated that he would only let Rocky go and relieve the crisis Yan Group was facing if


    he called Nicole.


    Hence, no matter how reluctant Rocky was, he could only cooperate.


    Nicole arrived at the agreed meeting location, which was a bar. Once inside, she made sure to find the


    correct room number before quickly stepping in.


    She spotted a man whose face was concealed behind a magazine. Thereafter, she bombarded him


    with words of concern.


    “Rocky, do you have some kind of incurable illness? Don’t worry, I’ll take a look at you. Even if I can’t


    cure you, there’s still my master. My master can…”


    “You can cure me!”


    Evan lowered the magazine in his hand. When Nicole took a good look at his face, she was shocked


    beyond words.


    She stood there with her mouth agape, seeminglypletely petrified.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Why is Evan here?


    Rocky was clearly the one who called me. And he was also the one who told me toe here.


    Don’t tell me…


    Who am I kidding?


    Rocky helped Evan to trick me!


    She let out a frustrated sigh as several questions raked at her mind.


    Rocky, did you help Evan because you think you’re both men and hence, should be on the same side?


    Did you forget how Evan bullied youst time?


    She mentally gave Rocky an extremely disdainful look.


    “Are you so touched to see me that you’re lost for words?”


    Evan’s voice pulled Nicole back to reality. Clearing her throat, she offered him a nd smile.


    “I think I came to the wrong ce. Sorry.”


    Without wasting any time, she pivoted around and ran towards the door like a madwoman.


    Huh?


    When was the door closed? Why can’t I open it?


    “You should stop wasting your energy. You can’t open it.”


    An incredibly familiar baritone voice sounded from behind her. Nicole’s hope of escaping was snuffed


    out when she realized that the door was indeed unbudgeable.


    Wearing a smile on her face, she looked over her shoulder. “What a coincidence. I never thought that


    you’d be in this room, Mr. Seet.”


    “Whose room did you want to enter?”


    Whose room?


    B*stard!


    You clearly know who you ordered to call me out!


    And yet you have the audacity to ask me!


    Nicole inwardly rolled her eyes at him before clearing her throat and taking the seat opposite his.


    Evan stood up and gently took her hand in his, causing Nicole to frown. What is he getting at?


    She briefly noticed that Evan was holding something in his other hand before a click sounded and her


    wrist was cuffed.


    Following that, Evan calmly locked the other side of the handcuff on a chain that he had prepared.


    Then, he wrapped the chain around the leg of the table a few times to make sure it stayed in ce.


    Nicole’s jaw was hanging off its hinges when she saw what he did.


    “Evan Seet! What are you doing?” Nicole yelled at him.


    Evan’s tone was t even as he answered her earnestly, “I’m hungry and I wanna eat. But I’m afraid


    that if I open the door and call the waiter here, you’d run away again. So, I really had no choice.


    Forgive me.”
