Mr. Nick, exhausted, "Sir Qi, this matter is my fault, and I admit it, but my sister's affection for you deserves forgiveness."
Bo Yan looked at Mr. Nick expressionlessly, not endorsing his call, thinking of the possible harm that Yuran might endure, his face grew grim.
"Mr. Nick, you are mistaken, I have never needed affection from those I do not like, it would become a burden for me, and you misunderstand something—I do not take pride in the number of people who like me.
Affection from those I do not like would be a disgrace to me."
Mr. Nick was startled, his hands in his pockets trembling slightly.
His subtle movement was noticed by Bo Yan and Lu Xizhou, but they chose not to point it out, presumably guessing that Mr. Nick would use it as a reason to let Catherine give up, which was fine.
Mr. Nick felt his sister's effort was wasteful, yet he wasn't particularly saddened by it.
