Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself

Will looked equally regretful to hear this.

Indignant, Nico looked at Li Beinian and persisted, “Beinian, this isn’t the truth.”

“That’s the truth.” Li Beinian smiled. “That I had the dream only means we were destined to cross path. Mr. Nico, I sincerely hope that you can change your fate.”

“Beinian, you’re avoiding me.” Nico narrowed his eyes and continued, “You know that, right? Our relationship isn’t that simple and you know it. Why are you avoiding me? Why are you lying?”

Li Beinian’s expression did not change, but her smile faded slightly and her gaze sharpened as she replied steadily, “Mr. Nico, you have your life, and I have mine. The reason I’m alerting you is that I don’t want anything bad to happen to you. I wish you to be safe. But other than that, I don’t think we can have any other relationship.” She paused and added, “I’m married, and love my husband very much.”

Nico was stunned and immediately said, “You’re mistaken. I just…”

“Nico!” Will couldn’t help but interrupt.

Nico paused, then realized what he had said.

He eased back a little upon Will’s interruption.

He looked at Li Beinian’s indifferent expression and laughed at himself. “I’m sorry, I lost my composure.”

Li Beinian smiled and said, “Have some tea.”

Li Beinian handed him a teacup filled with reddish-brown liquid. “This is a birthday gift from someone to my husband. It tastes pretty good.”

Nico smiled and took the teacup from her. While he stared at the liquid in the glass, his eyes filled with loneliness.

Nico didn’t stay long, after finishing his tea he quickly took his leave.

The skies had already darkened when Nico walked out of the house, he looked up, his mood as gloomy as the color of nightfall.

“Will, is she deliberately avoiding me because she thinks that I’ve been a bad father, and now she refuses to acknowledge me?”

Will was silent for a moment before replying, “Perhaps, Miss Beinian just isn’t ready.”

Nico looked at the clear moon hanging high overhead in the dark blue infinity. After a long time, he finally sighed and said “Let’s go.”
