Like punching in the cotton, Kingsley couldn’t even find anything to vent.
Nora, who was really innocent, didn’t know what to say. At last, the corner of her lip moved and she said tonelessly, “What she said was not true. I did my graduation project diligently and had prepared for the oral defense for a long time…”
“Not about this one!” Kingsley suddenly raised his voice, which startled Nora.
“Ringo… What’s the relationship between you two?” He seemed to ask her casually after a short pause.
“Friends.”
“Is it?” It was impossible to send him back with just one word. He thought she really treated him as a fool.
“Well, a friend that I knew long time ago .”
Actually, Nora knew Ringo earlier than Kingsley. They were classmates and later got into the same university. Ringo was really popular with female students. At that time, there were quite a lot of female students who had a good time with him. Therefore, there was nothing special for Nora.
But something happened when they got to the university. Ringo expressed his feelings for her.
It was the reason that Maisy hated her. Once at that club activity, Maisy showed her love to Ringo in public. However, Ringo laughed, “But I’ve been into someone.” Then he pulled Nora to the front, who had just joined the group coaxing confession happily. He said to her, “I love you, Nora.”
At that moment, she only thought that Ringo was just making jokes and taking her as a shield. But Ringo told her that he wasn’t playing tricks. He was serious. Nora was scared immediately.
Generally speaking, a good friendship would be completely terminated because of the confession. In addition, when meeting Nora, Ringo’s mother, who was a domineering lady, despised her. Nora had self-respect so that she began to deliberately alienate Ringo. Their relationship gradually cooled down.
Then as he went abroad as an exchange student, they were completely disconnected.
In fact, if she loved nobody in mind at that time, Ringo might be her choice.
Kingsley clenched his fists tightly. He felt that if he asked more, he might be in great unhappiness. So he turned on the car radio.
After broadcasting some gossip, the announcer said in a very exaggerated tone, “Next news may disappoint a majority of female compatriots. Recently, the CEO of Rivertown Group was rumored to be engaged to the daughter of Mu family. It’s said that Ms. Mu is the first love of President Baxter and she has finished her study, getting ready to return home for engagement. What a perfect match and let’s bless them in advance.”
The unsealed news was like a truth.
Kingsley didn’t turn off the radio and Nora was forced to hear the news out.
The announcer’s excited voice was like a sharp knife rubbing Nora’s eardrum. It made her uncomfortable but her facial expression didn’t change.
Kingsley didn’t explain, leaving media to make up his gossips.
There was a silence. The lights were on outside. It was probably because the air conditioner was on in the car that it gave her gooseflesh. She held herself tightly with her eyes closed. No one knew what she was thinking.
After a long time, she opened her eyes slowly. Her eyes were a little teary and hot. She suddenly thought of her mother, who gave everything to the man and even left the original family because of him. But she still couldn’t change the fate of being abandoned because another woman was rich enough to spare her husband from striving hard for his career.
“Oh… How can this kind of worthless fake news be broadcasted? I need to make complaints!” Nora said with a clear and crisp voice in quiet space. These words sounded righteous but were spoken out unnaturally.
