"Dominic, everyone's busy with work nowadays. We leave things like love to fate. That's old-fashioned of you," Mia voiced out, trying to smoothen the conversation over for Nicholas.
Dominic was rendered speechless.
Everyone could tell that Nicholas had feelings for her, but she was too dense to catch it.
Otherwise, why did he stay single all these years?
Hearing that, Nicholas felt relieved although he couldn't help the indescribable emotions churning in him.
He was aware that Mia didn't feel the same for him. That was why he had been staying by her side to protect her.
Did he confess? No.
Dominic prompted, "Nicholas, come with me."
Although he didn't wish for Mia to marry those bastards out there, Nicholas had been staying by her side for four years.
Nicholas was a decent man; he always carried himself properly and was never involved in scandals.
On the other hand, Mia was worried when Nicholas was called out by Dominic alone.
Did Dominic find out about Timothy's situation and wish to pry something from Nicholas?
Regardless, she had faith in Nicholas' loyalty. Prior to this, she had asked him a favor and he gave her his word.
He wouldn't break his promise to her.
As an afterthought, she calmed herself down.
Ginger placed her spoon down. Innocently, she asked, "Mommy, is Uncle Dominic going to introduce someone to Uncle Nicholas?"
