Chapter 108 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• It was this sentence. Harvey looked at Edwin and asked quizzically, “How do you know that she doesn’t like me?” · The way he asked, as if he still wanted her to like him. Edwin rolled his eyes and handed him the phone. “3 minutes and 42 seconds in the video; watch it.” Harvey did not refuse and skipped to the 3 minute and 42 second mark; it was the part where Nicole was speaking to Snow and the others. He quietly listened to Nicole say that she was not interested in him, and a dark gloom soon shrouded his eyes. Edwin watched him replaying the video again and again like he was possessed and could not help but whisper, "Harvey, are you alright?” Harvey did not look up, but his tone was as usual as he smiled. “Why am I not alright?” Edwin did not say to speak out, but his heart roared. ‘Bro, you have been rejected, bro! You don’t look like you’re alright at all. Both of them were quiet as Nicole’s cold, determined voice echoed in the room. As Harvey listened on, the smile on his lips gradually faded away. The only reason he asked her to be his girlfriend was because he simply felt that Grandpa valued her and perhaps she would be useful to him, not out of any sincere intentions.
• But yet, why does he feel some slight pangs of discomfort inside him when he hears her say something like this? It was almost driving me to run before Nicole and yell at her, asking her why. But he cannot In the shadows, Harvey’s smile appeared once again. A moment later, seeing that Harvey had somewhat calmed down, Edwin spoke again: “Harvey, do you really like Nicole?” Harvey did not speak, and Edwin thought that that was a tacit acknowledgement, so he said excitedly, “Woah, I can’t believe that your tastes have finally leveled up. I’ve long been sick of that fake wench. Nicole is way better. Not only is she pretty, but she also has a personality, and she is seemingly skilled in martial arts. She even gave Austin a shoulder throw the first day she came to school, as if Austin’s six-foot stature was like nothing. When I saw his expression in the video, he was so bewildered. Harvey listened quietly as Edwin praised Nicole and did not interrupt him. Yet just as Edwin stopped to take a drink, he asked, “You seem to know Nicole well?” Edwin immediately paused and shook his head. How could he? They haven’t even met before. “Then why are you speaking up for her like that?” Edwin was taken aback. He, after all, could not say that he had a favor to ask of her, so he could only sheepishly say, “I always felt that she was a pretty nice person. At the very least, the light in her eyes is real.” When Harvey heard that, he was stunned.
• Indeed, there was a bright light in Nicole’s eyes, no matter when she looked at someone in the eyes. It was the light of her soul and her attitude towards life. Harvey looked at Edwin, and the latter too was looking at him, seemingly with some musings in his eyes. “Harvey, I seem to understand why Nicole doesn’t like you now.” Harvey did not respond but instead silently put on his coat as he got up to go out. Edwin did not stop him. As he looked at Harvey’s back, he whispered, “Harvey, Snow is spreading news about the two of you being a couple. Are you really not going to stop her?” Harvey turned around, his face hidden in the shadows, making his expression hard to discern. “Why should I stop her?” When Edwin heard Harvey’s voice, it was still in that gentle and polite tone. “But she’ll use your name to hurt Nicole, no?” He looked at Harvey, believing that the latter could read between the lines. Harvey did understand as he turned his head around, and his tone turned chilly. “Do not interfere, Edwin Bradford.” As he said that, he closed the door and left. Edwin looked at the closed door somewhat speechlessly. Oh, how he wished his friend there could do better. ‘What was so great about Snow anyway? She’s not as pretty as Nicole, and she’s also a schemer to boot,’ he thought. Harvey could do nothing but pick up his back and get ready to head out. Nicole had no idea that there was someone in the Royal Creek Institute who could still see Snow’s true face. At this moment, she was on her way to the cafe. It seemed like her earlier warning somewhat worked, as not many dared to look at her directly along the way, and naturally there were much fewer whispers as well.
