All Chapters of Crying Her a River: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Nathaniel frowned as he swiftly changed directions to follow Mason's car. When Mason's car stopped outside the villa, Nathaniel watched as he helped a drunken Nikita inside.The door closed, cutting off Nathaniel's view. In the dead of night, with Nikita intoxicated and Mason clearly interested in her, it wasn't hard to imagine what might happen.Nathaniel's eyes darkened with rage as he dialed Nikita's number, only to hear that her phone was off. His grip on his phone tightened as he glared at the door, wishing he could bore a hole through it.Furious, he stepped out of his car, ready to storm in and demand Nikita back. But then he paused. What right did he have to burst in and take her away?It would only reveal that Nikita held a special place in his life.Nathaniel got back in his car and slammed the door shut, but he didn't drive away. His expression grew colder than the night air. He would wait and see if Nikita dared to stay the night.…When Nikita woke up, she saw an un

Nathaniel's icy gaze lingered on Nikita as he tossed the medicine into the trash. He'd seen her and Mason talking happily through his office window earlier, and his anger had immediately flared up.Seeing them together again after last night made him suspect they were dating behind his back. Nathaniel hadn't realized he was jealous of Mason; he only felt a strong, inexplicable sense of irritation.As Nikita watched the medicine get discarded, she felt like her heart was thrown away too.Her stomach churned painfully, a common aftereffect she experienced after drinking, but the pain in her chest was even more pronounced.Leaning back against the wall, she stared at Nathaniel and, for the first time, addressed him by his name. "Nathaniel."Nathaniel's brow twitched."After all these years, have you ever cared about me, even a little?"If he did, Nikita felt she could continue enduring this. But Nathaniel laughed, a cold, mocking laugh devoid of warmth. "What makes you think you're

Indigo Country Club was the largest high-end clubhouse in the city. It featured a horse track, a golf course, and various entertainment facilities. It was famously known as an exclusive clubhouse for the wealthy.Nikita thanked the receptionist and turned to leave. She sat in her car for a moment, thinking things over before finally deciding to call Mason. Indigo Country Club had a strict membership policy. Those who weren't members were absolutely not allowed to enter. Of all the people she knew, the only one willing and able to take her inside was Mason.After just a few rings, Mason answered the phone. His cheerful voice came through the receiver. "Nikki, it's only been a day, and you're already calling me. I'm touched."This was the first time he'd addressed her so affectionately. Nikita was stunned for a moment and felt unsure how to react. She remembered Mason mentioning that he wanted to change the way he addressed her and cleared her throat a little awkwardly. She said t

Zachary almost couldn't bear to watch any longer and wanted to tell Nikita to give up. Nikita steadied herself and stared at the hole quietly for a long time. She stood still there so long that Zachary thought she'd fallen asleep. But then, Nikita suddenly swung her club. The little white ball sliced through the air and landed smoothly in the hole.It was a hole-in-one—Nikita had done it!With that, Nikita turned around with a smile, raising her club. "Mr. Fletcher, a hole-in-one. I hope you keep your word."Zachary's mouth fell open in surprise. After some time, he nodded gingerly, feeling a newfound respect for Nikita. An employee who would go to such lengths for her company was a rare find. He couldn't help but think that Nathaniel was very lucky to score an employee like her."Alright. I'm willing to resume cooperation with Foster Corporation solely because of your sincerity," Zachary said.He raised his glass and clinked it with Nikita's.Though Nikita was aware that she c

Regina collapsed back into her seat. She looked at Nathaniel with a bewildered and hurt expression as she uttered, "Nathaniel..." Nathaniel lowered the car window to let the cold wind in. The cool breeze helped him gain some clarity.Just then, the car stopped. Nathaniel's voice was a bit hoarse as he said, "We've arrived. Go in."Unwilling to give up, Regina reached for Nathaniel's hand. "But you..."Nathaniel avoided her hand, his tone turning cold. "Get out."This was the first time Nathaniel had been so harsh toward her. Reluctantly, Regina got out of the car. She wanted to invite Nathaniel upstairs to stay for a while. But as soon as she closed the door, Nathaniel ordered Harvey to drive away.Regina stared at the taillights that drifted off, stomping her foot in frustration.…Nikita treated Mason to the meal that was long overdue. After she managed to honor her promise, she felt more at ease. Even so, she knew that the favor she owed Mason couldn't be repaid with just a
