Chapter 136

When Yara saw Nate in such an emotionally shattered state, she leaned toward Madison with curiosity. "What's going on with him? He looks like he just had a nightmare where he died or something" While Wanda was cleaning up the ash from the couch, she perked up her ears in curiosity. She also wanted to know what had occurred in the dream to cause such a dramatic change in Nate's attitude. Madison replied calmly, "Megan sought Shane's favor in love, but why did Shane remain indifferent?"

Yara and Wanda exchanged silent glances.

Yara then clapped her hands in realization. "Oh! He's not such a great guy either."

Wanda sighed in disappointment,

Madison continued, "Human nature is complex. Nate truly loved his childhood sweetheart. But he wavered when another exceptional woman appeared."

Even a destiny set by fate couldn't prevent someone from having wandering feelings. If Nate had been more steadfast, his fate wouldn't have turned to ashes so quickly.

It wasn't long after Megan visited the ghost shrine that he broke up with his childhood sweetheart. His feelings had always been unclear, and the ghost shrine only amplified that uncertainty.

Nate drove home in a daze. After parking his car, he got out and headed for his villa. He opened the door and made his way to the basement. When he pushed the door open, he found Megan tied up. Megan whimpered, tears streaming down her face out of fear.

"I want the truth."

Megan nodded slightly. Her voice was hoarse from all the crying as she said, "Don't you remember? We used to talk every day. You shared beautiful songs with me and would wish me goodnight every night. You were even worried about me getting bullied in the entertainment industry.

"Do you remember when your girlfriend was celebrating her birthday? I injured my foot, and you came to keep me company after the party."

I silent. He had seen all of this in lis d

dream.

From an outsider's perspective, Nate saw himself chatting with Megan behind Estelle's back. He never intended to break up with Estelle, he loved her. Yet, he also frequently communicated with Megan.

He thought back to the moments they shared, the secrets he had kept from Estelle, and the gestures he had considered innocent. At that time, he believed he was simply caring for a friend and saw nothing wrong with it

When he looked at it from an outside perspective, he began to recognize his own pride and indecision. He witnessed the shift in Estelle's eyes, from complete trust to doubt and finally, disappointment.

When he suggested breaking up, Estelle said nothing. It was as if she had already faced countless disappointments before.

He let out a self-deprecating laugh. "It's not you who ruined me. 1 brought this on myself. I was the one who

He loved Estelle but still relished the flirtation with another woman.

"What right do I have to blame you?" He let go of Megan and waved her off as if he were drunk. "You can leave now."

Megan rubbed her wrists after being untied. When she saw the shattered Nate, she rushed over and hugged him from behind. "Nate, I love you. Can we start over?" Chapter J
