Chapter 2139

Nicholas only needed one word from Jocelyn. Her current marital status didn’t matter to him.

Jocelyn didn’t know how to feel at that moment.

The man she loved had now returned her feelings, so her love wasn’t unrequited.

But alas, she was married. The marriage was arranged by her parents, and she had agreed to it, not to mention that Yannick was good to her. She couldn’t betray him.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Rainsworth, you may have misunderstood my feelings for you. My kindness toward you was out of professional duty as your subordinate, not the love you speak of.” Jocelyn paused, then continued, “Furthermore, I am already married. My husband treats me very well, and we are very much in love. I will not divorce him.”

That sentence, “we’re very much in love,” sounded exceptionally sharp and piercing to Nicholas’ ears.

His throat tightened. “Jocelyn, are you deliberately trying to deceive me because you’re angry at me?”
