Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 171 - 157: Severing All Ties Forever

Nina Pierce felt like she was choking. Was this bastard really crazy?

"What does whether that man is my boyfriend have to do with you? Dr. White, can you please stop being so self-righteous and interfering in my matters? It’s none of your business!"

Her tone was cold and mocking, as if she’d just heard the funniest joke.

Theodore White was at a loss for words, so he simply vented his frustration by sealing Nina’s lips...

In that instant, Nina’s eyes widened in shock. Damn it! This bastard must have forgotten to take his meds today!

Theodore had thought about this moment for a long time. Today, he originally wanted to explain to Nina that Chloe was not his girlfriend but his cousin...

And also, he still couldn’t forget her and wanted to start over with her.

Initially stunned, Nina quickly regained her senses and with all her strength pushed Theodore away. Without thinking, she slapped him.

"Theodore White! I haven’t been that obedient little underclassman from six years ago for a long time! Could you please stay away from me? Ever since you appeared before me again, I feel utterly disgusted every time I see you! You bring back the most painful memories of my college days and remind me never to forget the hurt you caused me!"

Nina completely voiced the words she had been hiding in her heart for a long time.

Theodore’s eyes displayed a hint of sadness, "I’m sorry, back then...I..."

Nina coldly interrupted him, "There’s no need to mention the past. I’m not saying this for your explanations. Who hasn’t met a jerk or two in their life? I don’t want my mistakes from college to carry into my professional life. After so many years, we aren’t the same people we were back then."

She paused, taking a deep breath, "From now on... you walk your own path, and I’ll walk mine. Let’s never see each other again."

The last sentence was said with extra weight and determination.

Theodore looked quite moved, "North, actually..."

Nina abruptly cut him off, "No! Don’t say anything! I don’t want to hear it! My biggest hope now is that we never see each other again. Since it was you who hurt me first, can you grant me this small request?"

She looked at him almost pleadingly.

Theodore appeared to be facing a significant choice, finally saying with certainty, "I can’t."

His sudden departure back then had a reason, and not saying it was because...

Now that all obstacles had been removed, he had decided to pursue Nina again, so he couldn’t agree to her request.

Nina didn’t expect his "I can’t," froze for a second, and coldly threw out a line, "It’s fine if you don’t agree. This is just how I see it."

With that, she quickly left the balcony.

Fortunately, this place was quite private. Otherwise, in less than an hour, the entire hospital would know about her and Theodore’s relationship, which would feel terrible!

As soon as she got to the office, she received a text from Noah Cross: Are you free tonight? Dinner together?

Nina ruffled her hair. Oh well! The man Director Lynn introduced seemed reliable. He’s always been polite on dates and understands the nature of her work...

All in all, he was a pretty good prospect.

Hmm, let me treat you tonight then! It would make up for me bailing because of overtime last few times.

You’re too kind. I know about my godfather’s work schedule. Surgeons often have unexpected overtime. Since I’ve decided to date you, I can understand these things.

Seeing this, Nina was almost moved. Such a man was indeed considerate...

But, she always felt a lack of... excitement for him.

Sometimes she wondered if she was overthinking. Since she was looking for marriage, she should choose a reliable and considerate man...

Noah was undoubtedly the best choice.

Thank you.

I’ll wait for you at the hospital entrance after work.

Okay.

Putting down her phone, Nina leaned back in her chair and took a deep breath. Her parents had been urging her recently, so trying to date Noah seemed reasonable.

Nurse Quinn knocked on the door and entered, saying happily, "Dr. Pierce, our surgery department is having a group dinner tonight. You have to come!"

Nina rubbed her forehead, "How come I didn’t hear about this?"

Quinn beamed, "I just heard from Director Lynn. Apparently, it’s because our department received commendations from a patient, and the hospital specially approved it. Since you were involved in that surgery, Director Lynn specifically asked me to inform you!"
