After the Eight Years of Love I Gave Up
Chapter 77

Love Story - Chapter 2

"Honey, I've run a hot bath for you. Go take a shower," Nico said as he walked out of the bathroom, drying his hair.

If it weren't for that WhatsApp message, I would have thought he was still as gentle and caring as before.

He picked up his water glass and took a drink, the muscles on his back rippling, accentuating his robust physique. Although he was past thirty, Nico had always kept himself in good shape, with six-pack abs and well-defined Adonis lines.

I woodenly replied:

"Your phone rang earlier."

He grunted in response and went to the balcony with his phone.

After the call ended, he started changing clothes.

"Who was that?" I asked, looking directly at him.

"Dominic," he replied naturally as he buckled his belt.

"Dominic's been under a lot of stress at work lately, he asked me out for a drink. I'm going to keep him company."

Watching this boy who used to blush and stammer when talking to me now lie to my face without changing expression, my heart turned to ashes. Before leaving, he kissed my forehead:

"Don't wait up for me tonight, get some rest early."
