Flash Marriage: Pampered by Mr.Bigshot-Chapter 743 - 742 Uncle Peary Got Driven Away
Nia Mitchell crouched there, crying sorrowfully. Her father, Mr. Mitchell, had also chased after her. Seeing Nia weeping by the elevator entrance, his own heart filled with immense sorrow.
He slowly walked over.
"That guy was your husband – Hendry Hampton?"
Mr. Mitchell hesitated, not knowing how to console the weeping Nia.
Nia remained crouched there, too choked up to say a word. Tears streamed down her face as she continuously shook her head.
"Don’t cry; he’s already left." Seeing the elevator had reached the ground floor, Mr. Mitchell sighed.
Not far away, the sound of firm, deliberate footsteps approached.
Nia heard this sound and instinctively turned her head.
Maxwell Peary was walking over, his chest rising and falling slightly.
Just now... from the elevator, he had caught a final glimpse of Nia, and she had looked as if she were completely breaking down.
He had to admit, even though he had been furious, he’d panicked at that moment.
The elevator had already descended, so he could only press the button for the nearest floor to his current one and step out.
He wanted to take another elevator back up, but found the hospital elevators were too slow to wait for, so he chose to take the stairs instead.
She really was crying.
Maxwell Peary watched Nia raise her tear-streaked face, and he slowly clenched his fists.
His breathing, slightly ragged from climbing the stairs so quickly, had already evened out. He stood there, yet found himself unable to take another step forward.
Nia, her eyes red, saw Maxwell Peary standing there. She immediately stood up and flew into his embrace.
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I really didn’t think of you as an outsider. I truly forgot. When I panic, I forget everything..."
She had forgotten she still had someone to lean on; forgotten she was no longer alone. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry... SOB, SOB..."
Nia clung to his waist like a small child, as if fearing he might vanish in the very next second.
"Please don’t be angry, okay? Please don’t go, okay? You don’t want me anymore, do you...?"
Nia knew she had so, so many flaws, knew she wasn’t worthy of him, knew she was far too imperfect...
"Silly girl."
Maxwell Peary returned her embrace, his expression filled with heartache for her.
Feeling her warmth against his chest, he couldn’t resist gently stroking her back.
"How could I not want you? It’s clearly you who doesn’t want me."
This particular CEO’s last words were tinged with an exceptional degree of reproach.
Every time he got angry, he would just turn around and walk away. Because... he didn’t want to display his imperfections before her. He didn’t want her to overthink things; he didn’t want her to be upset.
But today, he realized his habit of just turning and walking away might not have been very wise.
"I never said I didn’t want you!" Nia promptly pulled back a little, looking at him with accusing eyes.
When had she ever not wanted him?
"Alright, alright, you didn’t say you don’t want me." Maxwell Peary sighed, gently wiping the tears from her face.
"You’ve turned into a little tear-streaked kitten."
He shook his head and, full of affection, bent down to kiss her cold lips.
MMPH...
Instantly, her face turned bright red.
Nia immediately pushed the CEO away. This was a hospital, after all!
And... if she remembered correctly, her father was still standing right behind them! AAAH! How could the CEO just lean down and kiss her in a situation like this?!
With her red-rimmed eyes and damp eyelashes, Nia stood rooted to the spot, awkwardly biting her lip.
