Chapter: 1060

He had even knelt down to win the approval of her parents without hesitation, showing them his utmost sincerity.

But why did it all vanish so suddenly?

Back at the villa, Nikolas saw reminders of Aimee everywhere. He remembered them brushing their teeth together, snuggling on the sofa, playing around. Even the bedroom smelled of her. He was going mad, so he decided to leave Odonset.

Aimee moved her lips a few times. But ultimately, she said what she needed to. “You can go now. Don't come back."

“Can you keep this baby?"

Aimee didn't answer.

“After Bethany and Jonathan split, she went on to have Nola and.."

Aimee suddenly looked up at him and asked, "Can you even compare to Jonathan? He never so much as touched another woman. Their breakup was due to his mother, not because Jonathan did anything wrong. What about you? Can you even count how many women you've been with?"

Nikolas was speechless.

“Today it's Siena, tomorrow it could be more women! Nikolas, do you understand? I can't handle it! Once my trust was broken, I'd spend every day anxious, fearing it would happen again. We would fight daily, end up exhausted from the arguing, and even start hating each other. If that's the case, why should we stay together?"

Nikolas had no reply. He couldn't promise that no ex-girlfriend would reappear. Even without a child, his past relationships lingered like debts.

“If you have any decency, you should return to Siena. She and your daughter need you more than I do now."

"But I don't love her..."

"At this point, does it really matter whether you love her or not?"

Aimee maintained her distance. "You do love me, but we can't be together."

"Aimee..."

"Nikolas, please let me go. I'm still young. I don't want to be a single mom, nor do I want to compete with a bunch of women! Please leave now. I'm asking you, okay?"

Seeing Nikolas didn't leave, Aimee walked away.

As she moved, Nikolas started to follow her.

Aimee felt irritated. "Don't you get it?"

"I do." He looked down. The dim light on the staircase hid the tears forming in his eyes. “I promised Bethany I'd make sure you got home safely."

Aimee stopped briefly before responding, "I can get back by myself."

“Let me take you home. It's a farewell... to our baby."

Aimee's lips quivered, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh, so she allowed him to walk with her.
