“Pill?” She was stunned.
“Birth control pill,” he said, “I didn’t use protection yesterday.”
Nancy lowered her head. Yes, they had done it so many times yesterday without protection, so it was natural that she could get pregnant.
It was perfectly normal for him to ask her to take the pill.
“I can go to the drugstore and buy it myself,” she said.
“No need, I’ll have someone buy it and you can eat it in front of me,” he said coldly.
Suddenly, she felt her nose tingling. Was he afraid that she would avoid taking the medicine? Was he afraid that if she really got pregnant, they would be entangled again?
No, she wouldn’t calculate anything against him anymore.
She wouldn’t even consider using this possibility.
“Okay,” she lowered her head and responded softly.
Soon, someone delivered the medicine after Nancy got dressed.
Nancy swallowed the medicine in front of Mick.
“That’s it,” she murmured.
“Nancy, from now on, we have no relationship. Whether your live or die in the future, it has nothing to do with me. Between us, it was just a transaction. You used your body to get justice for your mother,”
he said with a cold expression.
Her eyes became sore, as if something was about to come out.
Her use…had turned into a transaction.
Between her and him, it was ultimately “no relationship.”
Perhaps he was already kind enough not to make her cut off a finger.
“I understand. From now on, Mr. Reed and I are strangers,”
Nancy said softly, turning and walking towards the villa’s door.
Mick just sat on the sofa, and the box of birth control pills, of which she only took one, lay quietly on the coffee table, as if witnessing everything.
“Dad, the matter between Nancy and me has come to a complete end. So from now on, the Reed family doesn’t need to take any action against her,” Mick said to his father in the study.
“Are you sure it’s really over?” Jason calmly asked.
“Yes,” Mick replied.
“But the way you barged into my office yesterday didn’t seem like it was over. If it really was over, then even if Nancy’s dagger was pointed at her own heart, you should have been indifferent,” Jason said.
Mick’s face changed, “So, Father, that day you just wanted to test whether I could be indifferent to her?”
He had rushed into his father’s office in a moment of desperation.
But upon reflection, he realized that there were some clues.
The situation at the time was not a coincidence, but a deliberate arrangement by his father.
His father arranged for him to see the scene where Nancy was about to cut off her finger, and then see how he would react.
“Since you’re not willing to be honest with me, then I have to test you,” Jason said.
Mick stared at his father, their similar peach blossom eyes locked in a gaze.
“If I hadn’t barged in that day, would you really have let Nancy. cut off a finger?” he asked.
“Since you no longer care about her, it doesn’t matter how many fingers she loses. Just one finger is actually doing her a favor,” Jason said indifferently.
For people who were not within their sphere of concern, the Reed family was usually cold-hearted.
“If Mother knew what Father did, what would she think?” Mick asked bluntly.
Jason raised an eyebrow slightly. “So, are you planning to tell your mother?”
The look in his eyes was both a warning and a threat.
Mick knew that when it came to anything about their mother his father could completely disregard everyone else, includin himself and his siblings.
For his father, the most important thing in the world was his mother, and everything else was secondary.
Even though his mother knew some of his father’s dark side, his father still tried to show only the bright side and didn’t want his mother to see his cruel side.
“I won’t tell my mother,” Mick said. “So, father, please don’t interfere in the matter between Nancy and me.”
“As a father, I just want to remind you that if you really can’t let go of this relationship, it’s not impossible to keep it. As long as you can firmly control the other person in your hands, that person will stay with you for a lifetime.”
“Even if she doesn’t love me?” Mick sneered. “There’s no need to force someone who doesn’t love me to stay by my side!”
After seeing his parents’ love, he didn’t want to force someone to stay with him just for the sake of it.
Besides, he had his pride.
If Nancy didn’t love him wholeheartedly and had ulterior motives, he would rather not have her!
“Is that so?” Jason smiled knowingly.
“I will let go of my feelings for her and not let her affect me in any way,” Mick said.
Letting go of his feelings for Nancy was not a difficult thing for him!
But when Mick returned to the hotel where Nancy used to work, his emotions were still affected.
She said she had quit, so he shouldn’t run into her today.
But why did he still think of her when she wasn’t around?
He shouldn’t think about this woman anymore!
The only reason he had been with her that day was to convince himself that she was just a woman, nothing more.
It was just a transaction between them.
Since it was a transaction, there was no need for any emotions.
Love or hate, there was no need for either!
The person who invited him here today was someone who had business dealings with the Reed family in Emerald City.
Those people were trying their best to please him, but he still lacked enthusiasm, as if he couldn’t get excited about anything.
Could this also be the influence of Nancy on him?
Just then, a beautiful woman approached Mick with a glass of wine and said, “Mr. Reed, would you like a drink? I haven’t seen you drink tonight! If Mr. Reed has any troubles, I’m willing to share them with you.”
The woman’s eyes were full of suggestive meaning.
Mick stared at the glass in the woman’s hand, but didn’t take it. Instead, he suddenly asked, “Do you like me?”
“Huh?” The woman was stunned, clearly not expecting such a sudden question.
But regardless, this is an opportunity!
If it’s an opportunity, it must be seized firmly!
“Yes, I like you.” The woman immediately confessed, her beautiful face flushed with excitement. “Ever since I met you,
I’ve been thinking about you. As long as it’s you, I’m willing to do anything for you.”
As she spoke, she struck a more charming pose
The strong scent of perfume emanating from the woman filled Mick’s nostrils
It was so different from the scent on Nancy
Dame it even of this moment, he still thinks of her!
“Are you really willing to do anything for mat Mick asked the woman in front of him.
He could see too much makeup on her gorgeous face.
Noncy, on the other hand, only wore light makeup, which made her more pleasing to his eyes.
“Yes” the woman quickly assured him.
“Then hug me.” Mick said.
The woman was stunned again.
She had prepared herself for the possibility of Mick making demanding requests.
But now, the young master of the Reed family only asked her to hug him?!
“What don’t want to?” Mick asked.
“No, no!” The woman quickly reached out and hugged Mick, afraid that he would change his mind.
At this moment, not only the woman, but also the people around them were stunned by Mick’s request.
Everyone saw the woman’s hands wrapped around Mick’s waist, leaning against his chest.
Mick lowered his head and rested it on the woman’s shoulder.
Time seemed to stand still.
Have you ever seen the Reed family’s young master holding a woman like this in such a situation?
Many people immediately felt envious and jealous, thinking that this woman might have gained a higher status because of this.
Even the woman’s heart couldn’t stop beating rapidly, feeling like she might have just hit the jackpot.
