All Chapters of Crying Her a River: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

"She didn't bring them!" Nathaniel's voice grew increasingly impatient while his pounding on the door intensified.Worried about disturbing Mason next door, Nikita jumped out of bed and hurried to the door. Exasperated, she yelled, "Stop knocking! I don't have them. Ask Regina to get it for you.""There aren't any pharmacies nearby. I know you have the pills," Nathaniel insisted. "Open the door. Are you trying to make a scene?"At that moment, Nikita resented her previous diligence. Nathaniel was sure she wouldn't change her habits easily, which was why he was so confident."Just stay at the door. I'll give you the pills, but you need to leave right away," she said through gritted teeth.She knew arguing with a drunk was pointless. All she wanted was to get him out of there as soon as possible.After a long pause, Nathaniel replied, "Okay."Nikita grabbed the hangover pills and opened the door just enough to hand them to him. But he pushed hard and forced his way in.Before she

Regina edged closer. As soon as she saw the purple gemstone necklace, she couldn't help but exclaim, "It's absolutely stunning!"Casting a sideways glance at Nikita, she raised her voice deliberately. "Nathaniel, I love this necklace. Since my birthday is coming up in a few days, would you mind buying it for me?"Regina tugged gently on Nathaniel's arm as she spoke in a sweet and persuasive tone. She had noted the necklace's hefty price tag of five million dollars. Owning it would certainly give her a significant bragging point back at the office.Nathaniel's focus returned to the necklace, and he assessed it briefly. "You really like it?"Regina nodded enthusiastically. "Don't you think it's perfect for me?""It does suit you," Nathaniel replied casually. He then signaled to a staff member and completed the purchase on the spot.The moment Regina received the necklace, she could hardly contain her excitement. She hurried over to Nathaniel and asked, "Nathaniel, could you help me

"What use is rejecting it? Didn't our families discuss it already? A marriage alliance is a very normal thing. You should just accept it."The elders of the Grays and the Lamars had been in a hurry to get the engagement done, but if Mason refused to speak up, they wouldn't be able to set a date at all.Mason could not understand why Jasmine was acting as if she was devoted to him. They had only met twice, after all."I can't accept this, because the person I have feelings for is Nikita."The atmosphere seemed to congeal at once.Nikita had been enjoying the show, but upon hearing Mason's words, her expression stiffened. She turned to Jasmine in a panic to try and explain.She did not have any feelings for Mason at all! It wasn't as if they were in some kind of melodrama.Jasmine raised her hand and covered Nikita's mouth. She was very calm. "You don't have to say anything. I know that you don't have any such intention. It's just Mason's unrequited love."Nikita blinked to expre

Mason was no pushover either. After he got over his shock, he and Nathaniel became locked in a tussle.However, Nathaniel still had an edge on him, and Mason ended up suffering from several blows. He was soon at a disadvantage.Nikita and Jasmine heard the noise and ran out quickly. The men in the corridor were caught up in the heat of the battle. When Nikita saw that there were several wounds on Mason's face, her chest tightened, and she ran up to them quickly to try and separate them."Stop fighting!" Nikita had come over all of a sudden, and Mason was afraid of hurting her, so he began pulling back his punches and kicks. This gave Nathaniel an opening, and he swung his fist at Mason's eye. Nikita's mind had gone blank. She instinctively stood in front of Mason to shield him.When Nathaniel saw Nikita, his eyes flickered, and he redirected the punch to the wall beside them instead.Nikita watched as the punch created a huge hole in the wall. Nathaniel's knuckles began bleeding

Nikita's eyelashes fluttered slightly. She suppressed the fear she felt and raised her head to look right into his eyes. The expression on her face was obstinate and defiant. "I don't want anything, Nathaniel! Get up! You and I are over!'She could not compromise. Once she did so, he would be sure to become even more unreasonable.Nathaniel had lost his patience. There was an icy flash in his eyes, and he pinched Nikita's chin and kissed her.There was a sudden knock on the door, and Regina's voice rang out. "Nathaniel, I bought you coffee. Open the door to get it."When Nikita heard Regina's voice, she felt as if her savior had come. She struggled to get up and turned her head. Now that she could finally breathe, she said quickly, "Nathaniel, aren't you afraid that Regina will misunderstand if you do this?"Nathaniel's jaw dropped slightly, and his heart felt hollow. He twisted Nikita's face toward him and laughed coldly. "There's nothing going on between me and her. What can she
