Chapter 74
“Hmm?” Jack heard Nick’s call and also looked over.
He only saw a big lip print on Hurley’s cheek.
And Nick, determined to play around, rushed over, his face filled with excitement and curiosity as he asked, “Which girl dared to tarnish you?”
“Get lost!”
Nick was genuinely curious, “Who did you run into just now? Should I call the police? Did you end up strangling someone?”
Hurley, who usually wouldn’t let even women get close, had been attacked. He might have ended up harming the person who ambushed him.
Hurley knew Nick was joking, so he couldn’t be bothered to respond to him.
“I still have my child at home, I should leave first.”
“After finally making plans to meet up, aren’t you going to have another drink?” Nick felt that Hurley was acting too strangely today.
This behavior was definitely related to Hurley suddenly leaving just now!
So, which woman could it be after all?
Hurley was about to leave, and no one could stop him. Nick didn’t try too hard to detain him either.
He stroked his chin, looking contemplative. “Jack, is Hurley going to embrace a new affair?”
“I don’t know.” Jack wasn’t someone who gossiped.
“Aren’t you curious at all?” Nick was extremely curious.
Jack remained very composed. “Not curious.”
And at that moment, Nick’s phone rang, and it was Matilda.
Nick didn’t feel much towards this woman. If he had to say, he felt Matilda wasn’t even worthy of Hurley.
However, considering she was the only woman who had been around Hurley for a long time, Nick would still show her some respect.
He answered the call, but before Nick could speak, he heard Matilda’s voice, “Nick, is Hurley with you?”
“We’re having a drink together, what’s up?” Nick asked.

“I called him, but he didn’t answer. Could you pass the phone to him, I need to talk to him for a moment?” Matilda spoke softly, but in reality, she was quite restless.
Who sent her that photo, and what was the purpose behind it?
“Hurley isn’t available right now,” Nick said vaguely.
He had left, so where could he find Hurley?
The ambiguous phrase ‘not available‘ led Matilda to misunderstand. Could it be that Hurley and that woman were currently… hence the inconvenience?
With this thought, Matilda’s expression contorted into something akin to a mop, all due to an ugly jealousy.
Which woman had such influence and prowess!
She must find this woman and take care of her!
Matilda forcibly suppressed the growing malice within her and continued to ask, “Are you guys at ‘Dark Haven‘
now?”
‘Dark Haven‘ referred to the bar owned by Nick.
“Matilda, you’re not even married into the Walton family yet, and you’re already trying to manage our Hurley’s
schedule?” Nick teased.
“I didn’t mean it that way.” Matilda pretended to be aggrieved once again.
Nick detested that kind of whining tone the most. He couldn’t stand it and rarely listened to Matilda’s voice, so he hung up the phone directly.
Matilda also disliked Nick’s attitude–what was he pretending about?
She stood up;
she wanted to go to ‘Dark Haven‘.
Just as Matilda was about to leave, she glanced at her phone and saw Jessica had posted on her social media circle.
In the photo, there was a group of people, and Sophie was particularly radiant among them.
Matilda glanced at the background and realized it seemed to be ‘Dark Haven‘.
Could it be that the person kissed Hurley is…
Matilda zoomed in on the photo, carefully identifying Sophie’s hairstyle. Then, she opened the picture of herself with Hurley that she had received earlier. The tied–up hair did indeed resemble Sophie’s.
Her long nails dug into her flesh, and she almost bit her lip until it bled.
Her expression was one of pure hatred, as if she wished she could just eliminate the person in the photo.
