Chapter 3

Time passed, and the night grew.

Hailey sat on the sofa like a sculpture. She raised her stiff arm and looked around her wristwatch. It was already two o'clock on the morning.

She had been waiting for nearly ten hours, bit Nikolai still did not come back.

Didn't he always want a divorce? She has agreed to divorce him, why didn't he come back home and have a proper tàlk with her?

Before the divorce, she just wanted to ask him why he had always become the way he was. A long time ago, he used to treat her gently and lovingly...

Hailey looked at the bowl of noodles on the table that she had carefully prepared for him. She then turned to look at the dark and quiet yard outside the house. The feeling of disappointment washed over her.

After a long while, she slowly got up, turned around and prepared to head upstairs.

Suddenly, the rumble of a car engine fame from tbe front yard of the mansion. The sound was clear and loud in the dead night. Hailey thought that she was dreaming.

She turned around abruptly and her gaze met that of a dark and chillingly grim eyes.

The weigh in her heart instantly disappeared, and she was stunned. Then she immediately came to her senses and said happily, "Nikolai, you're back"

Nikolai stood at the door with a sombre aura around him. "What on earth are you trying to do?"

Hailey pretended not to notice his cold expression and smiled, "Nikolai I have cooked noodles for you. Please finish them, then we can talk alright?"

She walked to tbe dinning and picked up a bowl of noodles. She froze for a moment and said, "This noddle is cold, I'm getting you another bowl"

She was about to walk into the kitchen

"Stop right there!" Nikolai strode forward and called out to her coldly, "Hailey George, I don't have tbe patience to play your game"

Hailey lowered her head, there was a bitter smile on her lips, "Nikolai,I just want to have a proper me al with you. Don't you love noodles with a poached egg and some vegetables? I will get you another bowl of noodles right away, give me five minutes"

She rushed into the kitchen hurriedly.

The look in nikokai's eyes became increasingly grim. They had been married for three years but he had rarely come home to dine with Hailey.

He had never told anyone that he likes eating noodles, let alone this sly woman!

But she seemed to investigate so much about his food preference!

There was a bitter glint in nikokai's eyes. Just as he turned around and was about to walk off, he smelt a faint sandalwood scent.

This fragrance was strangely familiar....

Nikolai thought, "why can I smeel.this scent here as well?"

"Nikolai, the noodles are ready, why don't you come over and taste them?"

Hailey came put of the kitchen with a bowl of hot noodles in her hand. The steam hovered around her face and cast a soft glow on her.

It was a dazzling sight and Nikolai found it painful to look at.

Didn't she say she wanted a divorce? But now, she is trying to please him with noodles. What was she up to this time around?

He reached out his hand and abruptly grabbed her chin. "Hailey George, are you trying to go back on your words?"

There was a sharp pain in Hailey's jaws. She frowned in pain, "Nikolai, I just want you to taste the noodles I made"

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly turned red.

All those years ago he had lost his eyesight, but she was always on his mind.

Now, he could see the whole world but now, he didn't even bother to spare her a glance.

Did he really forget about the sweet memories they shared?

He used to tell her that his favorite food was the noodles she made. Was it a lie?

Her eyes were teary and her gaze on Nikolai became more and more mournful.

Nikokai's heart skipped a beat but he still stared at her coldly, "Do you think I will design a wedding dress for you if you try to please me with a bowl of noodles? You're too naive"

"Nikolai, take a bite....Just a bite.... Okay?" Hailey begged in a soft voice. Nikolai gnashed his teeth. He could not help but frown deeply.

He remembers vaguely that whenever he came home, even though he seldomly did, she would make him a bowl of noodles.

But in the past three years, he had never had the chance to taste the noodles that she cooks.

Thinking of this, his eyes fell on the bowl of hot noodles, and his stern expression wavered slightly.

His hand that was grabbing Hailey's chin let go of her subconsciously.

Just as Hailey thought he was finally willing to taste her noodles, she suddenly heard a ringtone. It was like a ring alarm.

It was Nikolai's phone.

He took a look at the caller ID and immediately answered the phone.

"Nikolai, bad news! Come to the hospital now, Agnes tried to commit suicide...."

Nikolai Coke facial expression instantly darkened and became grim and murderous.

"Hailey George!"

His face was as cold as icicles, and the air around him became oppressively chilling.

"What did you do to Agnes? Why did she try yo take her own life?"

Nikokai's words were as sharp as sword. They pierced into Hailey's fragile heart without mercy.

Her lips upturned as she looked at the man in front of her with a bitter smile. "If I sat it has nothing to do with me, will you believe me?"

Nikolai gave her a dark look and quickly walked towards the door.

"Nikolai!" Hailey called out to him and immediately blocked his path, "Do you really believe that Agnes will commit suicide? It was perhaps just an act!"

Nikolai replied without a second thought, "Do you think she is as sly and wicked as you?"

Hailey froze. She seemed startled...

Sly and wicked? Was it what he thought of her for the past three years?

Nikolai did not want yo waste time dealing with her. He took a step forward and was about to leave, but Hailey refused to give up on her last chance.

She gritted her teeth and held unto his arm stubbornly, "Nikolai, please don't go..."

She saw that he was only a few steps away from the dinning table. All she could say was, "Nikolai, no matter what happens, can you at least finish the noodles before you leave?"

It was so close, Nikolai almost tasted the noodles she made.

Once he eat the noodles, he would recall all.tne memories that he had lost...

However -

"Crash!"

Nikolai picked the bowl of noodles and threw it to the floor.

"Hailey George, you're such a wicked woman!" Nikolai glared at her and shoved her into the floor, "Agnes is your younger sister and she has committed suicide. She is dying. How could you be so indifferent to her suffering?"

After he said that furiously, he slammed the door and left.
