Chapter 104 Nolan’s Unease
Amelia slapped Nolan squarely on the face, a red handprint appearing.
*** Finished
Dylan had maneuvered his wheelchair behind Nolan. He wasn’t involved in this squabble, but he still stopped and watched.
Nolan felt ashamed. It was as if something had lodged in his throat. That suffocating blend of shame and indignation surged up like a tidal wave.
That was clearly a kiss mark. Amelia had stayed the entire night at Dylan’s villa, and then came out with that on her neck. There was no need to guess how far things had gone.
He should’ve been furious. But what surged stronger was panic.
His lips trembled, and his breathing turned erratic.
Amelia clutched the collar of her shirt, her tone nonchalant. “It’s just a mosquito bite. Why are you so worked up?”
There was a trace of confusion in her eyes. As if she truly couldn’t understand what he was reacting to.
“What?” Nolan sneered sarcastically. “You think I’m that stupid?”
Maybe he’d have believed her if he hadn’t had plenty of experience himself.
He’s been in bed with Milky more times than he could count. He knew what a hickey looked like.
And it was pink, meaning it had been done gently. Not even rough.
Suddenly, Nolan shot a glare at Dylan. But the man remained as composed as ever.
Nolan’s eyes turned red. “Dylan…”
Dylan looked up, his tone emotionless. “Yes?”
The lump in Nolan’s throat choked off his words. He bit down hard on his lip.
He didn’t dare clash with Dylan directly. So he turned back to Amelia.
“You’re absolutely shameless, Amelia.:
Amelia’s patience snapped. “What the hell is wrong with you? I told you, it’s a mosquito bite..You and your disgusting imagination. No wonder you see filth everywhere!”
It finally dawned on her. That idiot thought that she slept with Dylan!
God, he really had the nerve to think that….
Just as she finished speaking, she heard a chuckle. Soft, low, but magnetic.
She blinked. It was Dylan. He was laughing.
He was always so serious. But now the corners of his eyes lifted in a smile, and even his usual stoic face
curved with amusement.

Chapter 104 Nolan’s Unease
Then he added, calmly, “You’re right. People with dirty finds see filth everywhere.”
Amelia suddenly felt awkward. Especially when she met his amused gaze, her ears turned red.
Finished
The awkwardness turned to embarrassment. After all, Nolan had just accused her of having a relationship with Dylan.
But Dylan said nothing more. He simply wheeled himself into his office.
The door closed with a gentle click, and the rest of the higher–ups subtly strained their ears to catch every word.
Nolan was already spiraling from their earlier interaction, and exploded once Dylan was out of sight.
“Amelia! You think I don’t know what’s going on? You’re just disgusting!”
The staff didn’t know what the “other man” in this mess was, actually Dylan. They only saw Nolan raging, assuming Amielia had someone else.
Amelia couldn’t be bothered anymore. She sat back down at her desk.
“If there’s nothing else, leave. I have work to do.”
Her composure only made Nolan more distant, as if a door had been slammed shut in his chest.
Driven by panic, he suddenly lunged forward to kiss her.
Amelia dodged fast. So fast that she nearly toppled over backward.
She barely regained her balance, grabbed the nearest file, and flung it at him.
“Nolan, go see a damn doctor if you’re sick in the head. Stop coming here to lose your mind!”
The file hit his face hard, leaving his cheek stinging and his eyes red.
He always cared about pride. Lately, thanks to his mother’s scandal, he’d been the subject of whispers wherever he went.
Now, because of Amelia, he stood there, humiliated once again. It was all because of her.
Amelia had never treated him so harshly before.
His chest felt like it was being crushed in a vice. He was in so much pain that he turned pale.
But Amelia’s expression was calm. Unbothered. As if he were the one being ridiculous.
res and
He rubbed his aching cheek. His voice came out hoarse, “Swear it. Swear that wasn’t left by a man.”
Amelia almost laughed out of sheer rage. But she didn’t want to keep giving more attention. So she raised her hand lazily.
“I swear. It was a mosquito.”
Nolan’s fury faltered for a moment. He had a million things he wanted to say, but the look in her eyes stopped him. All she had for him was impatience.

Chapter 104 Nolan’s Unease
“Don’t assume everyone cheats just because you do, Nolan.”
His checks burned. He wanted to retort.
Maybe say that the first time with Milly had been a drunken mistake.
Finished
But he couldn’t use that excuse. Not after the second, third, fourth, or fifth time. Truthfully, he’d only ever felt numb as if she were just waiting. Waiting for Amelia to catch them red–handed.
But she never had. Not once.
He turned and stormed off. Finally, peace returned.
Amelia expedition, pressing a hand to her temple. God, if only today was the wedding of Milly and Nolan.
