Chapter 913 disappointment

Their topics were changing so fast that Tom couldn’t keep up with it.

Looking at the delicate face of Nina,he naturally associated the two things she mentioned.

“Did Lily ask you to help me find a job?”Tom scratched his hair in confusion.

“Of course not.What are you thinking about?”

Nina covered her mouth and chuckled.She couldn’t make any comment on Tom’s single-minded mind.

“But Lily is worried about your current state, including me.It’s better for you to get a job and strive for

something.”

Nina gently encouraged Tom.

She knew that her ability was limited. The only thing she could do was to use Melissa’s connections.At

least, she wouldn’t see Tom waste his youth again.

The Gibson Corporation was of great importance in this city.Tom had applied for a job there when he

graduated from university.

However, there was misunderstanding with the interviewers,so they failed to enter the Gibson

Corporation.

Thinking of this, Tom frowned subconsciously.

“Can I try to apply for a job in another company?”

His tone seemed to be obedient to Nina.In the face of his resistance, she felt the need to ask for his

reason.

“Why?Isn’t the Gibson Corporation good?”Nina was confused.

“It’s not bad…”

Tom lowered his head and stared at his shoes. Thinking of the time when he entered the hall of the

Gibson Corporation;he was almost driven out as a worker by the security guards.

He always had a strong self-esteem.Even when he was in the University, he was one of the most

popular,but when he stepped into the society, he was still lashed by the class difference.

“But the Gibson Corporation is not suitable for me.Once your parents leave the hospital and settle

down, I will apply for a job by myself.”This was his way of declining her kind offer.

He didn’t want to make friends with them at all, especially when he saw Murray in the ward today.

Tom had a very ordinary impression of Murray.He didn’t like Murray since he seemed to be

arrogant,noble, and indifferent.

Nina,on the other hand, didn’t expect that Tom would refuse her.Nina was helpless and could only

encourage him to look for another job.

According to Nina’s plan,if Tom could concentrate on his career again, he would gradually let go of their

past Maybe he would meet a girl who was really suitable for him.

Two days later, Nina’s parents were discharged from the hospital.

That day, Tom was busy as usual.Nina was packing up in the ward and he went downstairs to complete

the discharge formalities.

After sending the couple home, Tom heard that True, Nina’s daughter, was about to finish her stock of

milk powder, so he went to the supermarket without hesitation.

After a while, he knocked on the door,gasping for breath. With a bottle of milk powder in his arms, he

was about to see Nina in the room when he suddenly heard a conversation inside.

Nina was calling Harley.She sounded more excited than last time.

“Thank you, Harley.I’ve received the gift you gave me.”

Nina expressed her gratitude to Harley. When she heard him ask if she liked it or not,she smiled and

replied, “I thought you had already forgotten it.It turns out that you have always remembered.”

The gift from Harley was a limited edition necklace from a small brand.

At the beginning of Nina’s pregnancy, she read a magazine and fell in love with it at one glance.

Then, Harley searched the whole city and bought the necklace anonymously on the Internet,but the

necklace was out of production and he failed to fulfill the wish of Nina.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Harley looked around in another city.

As a surprise before coming back, he immediately sent the necklace he bought to Nina.

Hearing the joyful voice of Nina,Harley felt that his trip was worthwhile and he didn’t waste his time

walking around the streets.

“Maybe you don’t believe me, but I remember every word you said.”

“I’ll be back the day after tomorrow.I’ll buy a gift for True tomorrow, “Harley said cheerfully, showing off

to her The two of them chatted for a while over the phone.After hanging up,Nina opened the delicate

box containing the necklace again.

She gently picked up the shell shaped pendant with her fingers and carefully observed it in her hand.

The memories of her and Harley appeared in her mind.

On the other hand, Tom looked in through the ajar door.Out of curiosity,he peeped quietly and found

that Nina was wiping her tears.

He was stunned.

An indescribable sense of loss followed.

He heard Nina talking with Harley on the phone and saw the happy smile on her face.

Anger and jealousy intertwined in his heart.Tom was overwhelmed by a strong sense of depression.His

eyes were dull and glassy,and he stepped back.

Back in the living room,he put the milk powder can on the table.

“Mrs.Paul,I have to go now.”

Tom was in a trance.

Ariana Paul also found that there was something wrong with him.She put down the unwashed

vegetables in her hands and poked her head out of the kitchen.”Tom, won’t you stay for dinner?”

“No…no…”

The voice of Nina over the phone echoed in Tom’s ears.He refused Ariana Paul, turned around, and

left.

Ariana was confused.She wiped her hands and went to give the milk powder Nina in the bedroom.

Seeing her mother come in,Nina noticed the milk powder jar in her arms and asked with a smile,

“Where is Tom? Why didn’t I hear him come back?”

“He said that he had something to deal with and just left.”

Ariana replied truthfully, frowning, and muttering, “But he is a little strange.Before he left, he seemed

like he had a lot on his mind.”

Nina didn’t know what had happened to Tom,so she was worried.

She dialed Tom’s number.Soon, Nina heard his listless voice.

“Tom,what’s wrong with you?Why did you leave without saying goodbye?”

The concern of Nina warmed up Tom’s depressed mood.

But Tom knew that Nina’s care had nothing to do with love.

“I’m fine.But suddenly a company asked me to have an interview this afternoon.”

Tom lied casually.In fact, he hadn’t sent any resume in the past two days.

Nina asked in surprise, “Are you going to have an interview soon? When did you apply for it?”

“The night before yesterday.”

Tom was still trying to hide his confusion and pain with a lie.

“Let’s talk about it later.I’m going to take a taxi.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tom hung up the phone in a hurry,but Nina could tell that he was

obviously hiding something.

The following day, Tom pretended to go to several companies for an interview, so he didn’t contact

Nina.

In order to make him change his current life as soon as possible,Nina didn’t disturb him and took care

of her baby wholeheartedly.

The next afternoon.

Although the Paul couple had been discharged from the hospital, their legs were fractured to varying

degrees, so it was still inconvenient for them to move around.

Nina took her daughter to the supermarket to buy some food. When they got home, they felt a little

hungry, so they ate in the nearby restaurants.

In less than twenty minutes, when Nina was about to pay and go home, she touched her bag and

panicked. “It’s strange.Where is my phone?”
