Chapter 657

“I’m waiting for you,” Wyatt said as he stood up.

His eyes were bloodshot, there was stubble on his face, and his shirt was wrinkled, making him look

extremely depressed.

It was Nicole’s first time seeing him so uncollected like this.

She frowned and asked, “Why are you waiting for me? What can I do for you?”

“I left the Todd family. Can you take me in temporarily?”

As he spoke, he stared at her with expectation in his eyes.

Nicole was stunned for a moment. She wondered why Wyatt had to leave the Todd family. Did

something happen?

For a moment, her heart softened. She relented and wanted to let him in. But when she remembered

what happened on the movie set today, she became ruthless again.

“You are the son of the Todd family. You can go back anytime you want. My house is too small for you.

And you are not welcome here.”

Then she turned and opened the door without even looking at him.

But before she could enter the door, a big hand firmly grabbed her arm.

“I’m sorry. I know everything,” Wyatt said, choking with sobs.

Nicole’s heart skipped a beat. She panicked at once.

He knew everything? What did he mean?

Did he now know what had happened five years ago?

“Whatever you know, it has nothing to do with me. I don’t care about it anymore. Let go of me. I’m

going inside.”

Nicole tried hard to break free from his grip. But she heard him cry out in pain.

She subconsciously turned her head. It was only then that she saw the bruises on Wyatt’s hand.

“What happened to your hand?”

Nicole couldn’t conceal the worry in her voice. She felt sorry for him.

“Don’t worry about it. It’s just a minor injury. I might have accidentally gotten hurt when my mother sent

bodyguards to catch me. But it’s okay.”

After saying this, he hid his injured hand behind his back.

Seeing Wyatt in this condition, how could Nicole still be cruel to him?

She said, “Come in first.”

Nicole took Wyatt inside the house and found the first aid kit to treat his wounds.

They sat on the sofa in an unusually silent atmosphere.

Nicole was concentrating on applying ointment on Wyatt’s wounds. He stared at her, and he couldn’t

restrain his emotions anymore.

Before she knew it, he opened his arms and hugged her tightly.

“Nicole, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. Please give me one more chance. I want to make it up to

you. Let’s start over, okay?”

He spoke in a very humble tone, and he hugged her so tightly that she almost suffocated in his arms.

Nicole was in a trance for a while.

This familiar embrace and the words “start over” were her fantasies for a long time. She was always

dreaming of this moment.

She still liked Wyatt now as she did five years ago.

But it was too late now.

They were not as young as before. And their lives were not as simple as five years ago. Back then,

they could give up everything for love. But now, there were many difficulties between them, and they

could never bring back the past.

“Wyatt, let go of me. We are not the same as five years ago. We can’t be together anymore.”

After saying this, Nicole clearly felt that Wyatt’s body trembled, and he slowly let go of her.

“Nicole, don’t jump to conclusions. I’m so hungry. Please make me something to eat.”

Wyatt just ignored what she said. Instead, he held her hand and acted coquettishly.

Nicole knew that he deliberately ignored her words. But she still didn’t have the heart to refuse him.

Both of them tacitly avoided the heavy topic just now.

“You know how bad my cooking skills are. Do you really want to eat the food I cook?” Nicole said with

uncertainty.

“Yes, of course. I will eat whatever you cook. And if you don’t cook for me, I’ll stay here and won’t

leave.”

After saying this, Wyatt grinned cheekily, just like before.

Nicole had no choice but to go to the kitchen and cook pasta for him.

And as usual… The kitchen was a mess.

At this moment, Wyatt walked into the kitchen.

He walked up to Nicole, took the kitchen knife from her hand naturally, and began to cut the tomato. He

teased, “It’s been so many years. Your cooking skills haven’t improved at all.”

Nicole stepped aside in embarrassment. Her face flushed.

She mumbled, “I’m so busy with my work. How can I have time to cook?”

Wyatt smiled helplessly. “You still don’t know how to take care of yourself.”

At this moment, they seemed to have returned to the past.

But this moment couldn’t last forever. In the end, they still had to face the reality.

After Wyatt ate the pasta, he and Nicole sat opposite each other in silence.

“Since you have eaten, you should leave now,” Nicole said, breaking the silence.

Wyatt’s heart tightened upon hearing this. But he didn’t want to give up. He grabbed Nicole’s hands.

He asked, “Nicole, can you trust me again? I won’t be as powerless as I was five years ago. From now

on, I will protect you and your mother. I really just need one more chance to prove it all to you.”
