Chapter 462

Nicolas gave a wry smile and replied slowly, “Are they dating, engaged, or married? If not, why do you say that Selah is his girl?

She belongs to herself, nobody else.

”

Unable to sway Nicolas with words, Mercer grabbed him by the collar and pinned him against the wall.

“Look, I don’t want to see my brother and my friend at each other’s throats over a girl.

Plus, you’re no match for Arturo.

Turns out, Selah had a child with Arturo!”

Nicolas’s face registered utter disbelief.

“What did you just say?”

Mercer relaxed his hold and stepped away.

“Nicolas, I’ve said my piece.

Just be careful not to get too caught up with Selah, or we might all end up in a tough spot.

”

Nicolas, usually the picture of calm, now had a lot on his mind.

With nothing more from Nicolas, Mercer slipped into his coat and left.

The moment Mercer got into his car, he pulled out his phone and made a call.

A soft voice answered.

“Mr.

Aston, to what do I owe the pleasure of your call?”

“Meet me at Champs Le Bar, third floor, in thirty minutes,” Mercer said and then hung up, tossing the phone onto the seat next to him before driving off.

Once Mercer was gone, Nancy returned to their private room and told Lindsey she wasn’t feeling well and needed to head home early.

“Guess we’ll call it a day,” Lindsey said, feeling weary herself.

She took the chance to wrap up the gathering.

Leaving the karaoke bar, Lindsey and Nancy walked arm in arm until Nancy stopped.

She was pale but forced a smile.

“Linds, I won’t hold you up from your time with your boyfriend.

I’m off, bye.

”

“Nancy.

” Lindsey reached for her, noticing how cold her wrist felt.

“Are you sure you’re alright?”

Nancy just laughed it off.

“Of course, I am fine.

Don’t look so sad to see me go, or you’ll make someone jealous.

”

She shot a playful look at Domenic standing behind Lindsey.

“ALL right.

See you tomorrow.

”

“Sure.

Take care,” Lindsey said, still concerned.

As Nancy walked away, she turned back with a grin.

“Linds, make sure you two find happiness together, okay?”

“Nancy…” Lindsey started, but Nancy cut her off with a wave, still smiling.

“I mean it.

Although it seems a little early now, I’ll give you my best wishes when you get married.

For now, I’m off.

”

Lindsey watched her go, frowning as Nancy’s cheerful figure vanished from sight.

“Mr.

Walsh.

” Lindsey said softly.

Domenic’s hand found its way to her shoulders.

He inquired, “What’s up?”

“Doesn’t everyone seem off today? Nancy hadn’t always been this way, but today… I can’t shake the feeling she’s keeping secrets from me.

”
