Chapter 732 What Engagement

Chloe didn't know whether Nolan was listening to her or ignoring her since he just kept quiet the whole time.

After a long silence, Nolan finally said, "The man who is in a relationship with Ashley is not a man to be trifled with. If you are bored and have nothing to do, you'd better not take your idleness to Ashley's doorstep, or to pick on him. He is a dangerous man."

"Okay, okay. I got it." replied Chloe.

"That's good. Now, go home with me."

As he spoke, he strode, taking long steps on his way outside, while still carrying her effortlessly as if she was weightless.

"Hey, wait. I still have something else to do. Could you go on your own? I will catch up once I am done. I will be back as soon as I am done."

Nolan looked at Chloe right in the eye and asked, "What do you think?"

Ah!

Chloe didn't even know why sometimes she tried to reason with this man or make such demands. It was obvious that he wouldn't allow her to stay behind. It was wishful thinking on her part to ask of such things.

Then, Nolan pulled her out of the hall by her hand like a delinquent child. Unfortunately, they ran into the two persons Chloe had bickered with just a few minutes ago.

It was Chloe's nemesis, Christine and her friend Rosa, standing in front of Nolan and Chloe.

Seeing the two of them, Nolan couldn't help frowning. He kept walking, using another way, in order to avoid them.

Christine also frantically tugged at Rosa's sleeve, trying to make her friend move to make way for Nolan.

Christine's engagement had been cancelled a few months ago, but Rosa was still in the dark about it. Seeing Nolan trying to go past them, she became more convinced of her presumption that Christine was the aggrieved party and needed her help.

'God. Nolan must have been totally captivated by this woman!

Now he is even reluctant to say hello to his fiancée! He's really worse than a beast!' Rosa thought sullenly.

Christine knew that her friend was quick-tempered and she was afraid that her friend would cause a scene. But her intervention seemed a tad too slow.

Rosa stared at Nolan and blurted out, "If I re

king for help.

Christine took Rosa's hand trying to get her out of there as fast as possible. Before they could escape, she heard Nolan's cold booming voice, "If my memory serves me right, we already have canceled our engagement a long time ago, correct? Christine, I remember you were present when we cancelled the engagement, or have you lost your memory of it?"

When Christine heard Nolan's cold statement, her whole body went rigid. She felt the panic begin like a cluster of firecrackers in her abdomen. Tension grew in her face and limbs. Her breathing became more rapid and shallow as her face turned pale. With her lips pressed tightly together, her whole body trembled as if she was barely hanging by a thread. She looked pitiful and pathetic.

Yet the expression on Rosa's face was even more comical. Her ashen face made her look like a ghost, with eyes as big as marbles and her jaw wide open. Startled by what Nolan just said, she stared at him with a puzzled look. The earnest look on Nolan's face indicated that he was telling the truth. Turning to look at Christine, she found that the latter looked deathly pale with a tinge of despair. The look of a guilty mouse caught with cheese in its mouth.

What more could Rosa continue to say?

It turned out that Christine had lied to her this whole time and Nolan had already broken off his engagement to Christine long before Chloe came into the picture.
