Chapter 1446: Can You Give Me What I Want?

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Nicole fought nausea and softly said, "I’ll leave the lemon water here for you... you can go..."

Her words were swallowed back abruptly as she looked up at the person coming in, unable to speak again.

Jose Floyd walked over, his tall frame stopped in front of Nicole, "What’s wrong?"

Nicole slowly shook her head, "I’m fine, why did you come in?"

Or rather, why would he attend this party?

Jose Floyd handed the lemon water to Nicole, his tone indifferent, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Nicole’s fingers trembled slightly as she took the lemon water, her eyes lowered as she replied, "No... Just a bit of a cold, probably because winter is rather cold."

After speaking, Nicole took a sip of the lemon water, feeling slightly better.

Jose Floyd didn’t say much more, leaning against the sofa, standing there tall and upright.

Nicole sat on the sofa, feeling quite restless, "Jose Floyd—have you seen my foster mother’s family recently?"

Jose Floyd’s back was indifferent, arms crossed, his voice equally cold, "Haven’t cared."

"Jose Floyd... I don’t know if you’ve looked into the old matters, but I believe my foster father isn’t that kind of person, he wouldn’t do such a thing to his sister-in-law... Sometimes rumors aren’t necessarily true."

"No need to talk about them anymore." Jose Floyd interrupted coldly.

Nicole held the lemon water cup in her hand, her eyes lowered, her gaze complex as she touched her own body.

"Jose Floyd, I have hated you, did you know?" Nicole felt the sour lemon water reach her heart and throat, so bitter.

Jose Floyd’s body stiffened for a moment, "I know."

She had a major hemorrhage from an ectopic pregnancy, and he didn’t offer a word of apology, instead, misunderstanding led him to nearly strangle her in rage before storming off.

How could she not hate him for that?

"Jose Floyd, you said I was cruel, but I think you’re more heartless and cold. However..." Nicole chuckled lightly, her gaze with a hint of self-mockery, "Your cold heartlessness has always been there, change is difficult for you..."

His heartlessness directly resulted in the death of the child between them.

Jose Floyd felt his throat tighten with discomfort, he could hear her resentment toward him, feeling inexplicably troubled inside.

Nicole’s smile blossomed fully, her gaze deep and unfathomable, "Jose Floyd, where do you most want to go?"

Jose Floyd’s cold eyes were somewhat hazy, hesitantly replying, "Italy."

That was where he met her, the place where their love grew.

Thinking of this, Jose Floyd looked at Nicole, his gaze deep, "Nicole, come back to Italy with me."

His words, though indifferent, carried a magic that made her heart race crazily.

Nicole looked back at Jose Floyd, "Do you know what you’re saying?"

"Let’s go back to Italy, I want you to stay by my side forever! Nicole, come back to Italy with me." Jose Floyd’s eyes were filled with determination and persistence.

Nicole’s fingers trembled slightly, "Jose Floyd, do you know what I want? I don’t want the status of a pet, but... what I once said, I want to be the first person on your mind, Jose Floyd, I want to be your one and only woman. Do you know what this means? Jose Floyd, you don’t want marriage, you think it’s a shackle. But you don’t know how important recognition is for a woman. Jose Floyd, can you give me what I want?"

Jose Floyd silently pressed his lips together.

Looking back up at Nicole, his gaze was deep and profound.

"If you want it, I’ll give it..."
