He glanced at the screen, and in an instant, his expression softened.
“Bianca…”
I had been right. It really was her. However, I had never guessed that Nathan never loved me.
Not wanting to hear his conversation, I lowered my head and returned to the private room.
Lucas and the others were still talking about Nathan.
“I bet he lashed out just now because of Bianca,” Lucas said before taking another sip of his drink, looking like he had everything figured out. “He went abroad this time just to see her but didn’t even get to meet her. He only dared to watch her from a distance, in secret.”
“I thought he was in a relationship to move on from Bianca, but turns out that girl was just a distraction. His heart still belongs to Bianca.”
So that was why he went abroad. That was why he traveled abroad every month, telling me it was for work.
“Nathan has liked Bianca for years. He used to secretly draw portraits of her and lock them away in his cabinet, never letting anyone see them.”
My mind buzzed as I listened to them praise how deeply Nathan loved her, how much he had sacrificed for her. I forced myself to smile, but my body trembled uncontrollably. I bit my lip so hard that I tasted blood.
Then, Lucas suddenly changed the topic.
“But his girlfriend is the real victim here. He wasted her time for years and never even gave her a proper title.”
Lucas suddenly patted my shoulder.
“Sienna, I was just joking earlier. You can’t be with Nathan, and you definitely can’t believe anything he says. He’s a complete piece of trash.”
His words sent a dull ache through my heart.
It was too late. I had already believed him.
