The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 222: Love Is Hard to Grasp

He’s been pursuing Nancy Miller for quite a while. This young girl never understood his intentions, so he thought that by being kind to Nancy Miller, his chances of success would be greater.

Unexpectedly, the confession he had prepared was straightforwardly rejected by this young girl.

With everything ready, the four of them sat at the table. Holly Sawyer had prepared the dipping sauce and placed it in front of everyone.

"You sit down, I’ll take care of it."

Just as Holly Sawyer was about to grab some drinks, she was stopped by Leo Grant.

Watching the young girl busy all evening, he genuinely felt a little sorry for her.

"You keep them company, I’ll go get it."

Holly Sawyer frowned slightly and spoke slowly, indicating for Leo Grant to sit down.

Since Holly Sawyer had spoken, even though Leo Grant was unwilling in his heart, he didn’t dare to disobey and obediently sat down.

"Sister-in-law has a great personality, I didn’t expect her sister to be so peculiar."

Noah Raines directly twisted open the bottle cap of his beer, took a gulp, and sighed.

He thought there was a sliver of hope, but there wasn’t even a tiny bit. Noah Raines felt quite upset.

"Different living places, different environments, obviously mean different personalities."

Holly Sawyer spoke slowly.

She understood the personality shaped by Nancy Miller’s environment, and of course, it was understandable for her to be disappointed in love.

Not wanting a relationship is also normal.

"Sister-in-law, can you help me ask her? I want to know her attitude towards me."

Noah Raines looked at Holly Sawyer with a pitiful expression, pleading.

"I won’t ask."

Holly Sawyer lazily lifted her eyelids, then lowered her head to eat from her own bowl.

She doesn’t interfere in others’ relationship issues, nor does she give any opinions.

Matters of the heart are intangible, and it’s easy to mess things up while trying to help.

Noah Raines stayed silent, pouring beer into his mouth non-stop.

"Eat something, don’t drink so much."

Nathaniel Shaw helped Noah Raines with some food, patted his shoulder, and spoke slowly.

Drinking too much is bad for the stomach; you should eat something to line your stomach before drinking, so the stomach feels a bit better.

Leo Grant remained silent, continuously placing food in front of Holly Sawyer, not joining in the conversation.

"I remember I said Nancy is not interested in romances and is against marriage."

Holly Sawyer raised her eyes to look at Noah Raines, her tone calm.

From the start, she predicted what Noah Raines wanted and had reminded him, yet Noah Raines always believed that if he tried hard enough, there would be a result.

He overestimated himself and underestimated Nancy Miller.

"I thought that as long as I tried hard enough, there would be a chance."

He had been attentive to Nancy Miller all along, consistently offering help, and using various excuses to get close to Nancy Miller.

He thought Nancy Miller would feel something to an extent, and that his final efforts wouldn’t be wasted, but in the end, he realized he was overthinking it.

"It’s pretty difficult."

Holly Sawyer’s tone was light.

Having been with Nancy Miller for so long, she naturally understood Nancy Miller’s personality.

There was essentially no hope.

Whether Nancy likes someone or not doesn’t matter much because she’s afraid of these things, leading her to not dare to approach, only wanting to escape.

Holly Sawyer ate a little quickly and said she was full, returning to her room, not wanting to disturb the chat among Leo and the two brothers.

She had no interest in helping Noah Raines with his relationship issues, nor did she want to help.

As soon as Holly Sawyer returned to her room, a video call from Nancy Miller came in.

On the other end of the video, Nancy Miller, wearing heavy makeup and ethnic-style clothing, looked as if she had just come off stage, not having had time to tidy herself.

"Sister, has Noah Raines returned to Arkenfall?"

Nancy Miller straightforwardly asked, her expression somewhat melancholic.

"Yeah, he’s downstairs now."

Holly Sawyer nodded.

"Is he okay?"

Nancy Miller remained silent for a long time before asking.

She didn’t know how Noah Raines was, only that he was very sad when he left, and his silhouette was extremely lonely.

"Not really."

Holly Sawyer spoke truthfully; Noah Raines was truly not happy.

"I was too blunt, please apologize to him for me."

Nancy Miller bit her lip tightly and spoke slowly, her emotions visibly low.

"You apologize to him yourself."

Holly Sawyer straightforwardly refused; she didn’t like being the middleman because she found the feeling uncomfortable.

Being caught in the middle truly feels unpleasant.

"Do you like him?"

Both sides went silent, and Holly Sawyer asked.

If Nancy Miller truly didn’t like Noah Raines at all, she wouldn’t care about Noah Raines’ emotions.

To put it bluntly, if I don’t like you, as long as you don’t die in front of me, you can die wherever you want.

"No."

Nancy Miller denied it.

Perhaps she doesn’t like him, Nancy Miller said she didn’t know.

"If you don’t like him, just pretend this person never appeared. Isn’t that what you did before?"

Holly Sawyer placed her phone on a stand, tapping away on the keyboard, busy with her own affairs.

On the other side, Nancy Miller fell completely silent.

What Holly Sawyer said made sense. That’s exactly what Nancy Miller used to do, bluntly reject and never care.

Because she was so indifferent, initially, many people flocked to her, then they slowly drifted away, and finally, she was left alone.

She wasn’t active in the girls’ group either, didn’t like talking, and didn’t participate in activities. She was either at school or working part-time, and her schedule clashed with her roommates, so she ended up with no friends.

"If you like him, you should seize the opportunity."

"Opportunities only come once; if you miss them, you’ll only have regrets later."

"It’s worth a try; don’t do things you’ll regret later."

Holly Sawyer spoke slowly, not intending to intervene initially, but sighed heavily thinking of her silly younger sister, Nancy Miller.

She had said all she needed to say; it was Nancy Miller’s decision on what to do next.

"Sister, you know my..."

Nancy Miller’s face instantly fell.

Influenced by her parents, she fears love and even more so marriage.

"You can’t deny everything because of one thing."

Holly Sawyer looked seriously at Nancy Miller, speaking slowly.

Everything is not absolute; you can’t assume everything is bad just because one thing is bad, you can’t generalize.

"I’ll think about it myself, sister, you go ahead and do your things."

Nancy Miller finished speaking and waited for Holly Sawyer to hang up the call; she was accustomed to letting Holly Sawyer end the call first.

Holly Sawyer hung up the phone, continuing to tap on the keyboard; she had her own matters to attend to.

She was busy preparing a gift for Leo Grant, a massive one she had planned for a long time, but since she was a bit lazy during the winter, she hadn’t acted on it.
