Chapter: 1047

"Doesn't matter who told you. Anyway, I'm single now! Jonathan, I once wanted to be carefree, play around, and shirk responsibility. Now, I tried to settle down and be responsible for a woman, but it's all fallen apart."

Jonathan frowned.

He disliked conversing with drunk people. If he had nothing urgent to discuss, he would have preferred to end the call immediately.

“Sober up. I need to talk to you."

“What is it? Is it work?" Nikolas took another sip of wine, wiped his mouth, and said, “Mr. Bates, I'm not working today. I'm heartbroken. I'm taking a day off!"

"It's about Aimee. Do you want to hear it?"

Aimee.

That name was Nikolas' weak spot.

He hesitated, then asked, "Do you have any news about Aimee?"

“Aimee went alone to the airport to pick up Bethany today."

"Speaking of Bethany, you're always maintaining your integrity for Bethany! I wish I could be more like you."

If only he had been, perhaps things would have been different.

On the other end, Jonathan's patience was wearing thin. He said bluntly, “I've had someone tail their car the whole time, fearing my mother might harm them."

"Oh, and then?"

“I suspected you two had broken up when I knew that Aimee was crying at the airport."

Nikolas paused before responding, "You're very astute."

Jonathan continued, "My contact sent me a video. See for yourself."

He then ended the call.

Shortly after, Nikolas received a video message on WhatsApp.

It captured the first moment Bethany and Aimee arrived at the apartment.

Nikolas slapped his face to clear his head before playing the video.

First, he heard Bethany's voice.

“Aimee, I'll transfer the rent to you!"

Then Aimee replied, "Don't be ridiculous! You're making me angry."
