Chapter 1678 Trouble In Paradise

Feeling dejected, Skyler lowered his head and walked away quietly. Great. Not only do I have to leave empty-handed, but I also have to pay a hundred thousand. I have to find a way to get some payback.

Deep in thought, Skyler made his way back to his place next door.

Meanwhile, Nina was staring at the stars in the night sky, feeling warm and fuzzy on the inside.

She had just gone through Stephen’s blueprint, and it reminded her of Chris. His heart beats inside of Stephen now. Is that why the two share so many similarities? Is this fate?

Back then, Nina had to keep her distance from Stephen because he was dating Melanie even though she felt something for him.

However, that was no longer the case since Stephen had broken up with Melanie, who got arrested in the end for her crime. Gazing at the starry night sky, Nina wondered if she and Stephen should be together. Chris, I always see you when I look at Stephen. Being with him makes me feel as if you’re still around me, somehow. Besides him, I don’t think there’s anybody else who can make me feel that way. Is this what you intended? Is he the one you’ve chosen for me? You knew you didn’t have much time left. That’s why you got someone to replace you, isn’t it? Still, I’m not going to rush it. We’ll just take things slow for now and see what happens next. If you really think that Stephen and I make a good match, then watch over us and guide our way to each other. If not, then you’ll have to wait patiently for me. You and I are going to see each other again in the next life. I know that you never left me. You’re always watching over me, right?

The night wind gently blew past Nina as if someone was caressing her delicate cheek.

Her thoughts were interrupted when her phone suddenly rang.

After returning to her senses, Nina walked over to the desk to pick up her phone, and on display was Maya’s name.

Pleasantly surprised, Nina quickly answered the call. “Hey, Maya!”

However, there was only silence on the other end of the call.

“What’s wrong, Maya? Say something.”

“I’m in trouble, Nina! I hit Wilbur!”

Nina was stupefied by the unexpected revelation. “Wait. What? What’s going on, Maya? Why would you do that?”

“Because… Because he’s a jerk! I had to teach him a lesson!”

Nina was still baffled. “Calm down, Maya. Let’s talk when you get home, okay?”

“Okay, Nina. We’ll stick together like we always have. We don’t need boyfriends! They’re all good for nothing!”

Even though Nina was not exactly sure what had happened, she figured the couple must be fighting. “Where are you now, Maya? Is Wilbur with you?”

“I’m at the airport; I just got off the plane. Wilbur went to the hospital. Can you come and get me?”

“The airport? Sure. I’ll be right over.”

After hanging up, Nina grabbed her coat and hurried downstairs.

When she reached the living room, she saw that Evan was on the phone.

“Daddy, you’re still up? It’s pretty late.”

Evan turned to his daughter after his phone call ended. “Go pick up Maya with the driver, Nina. She’s at the airport.”

“How did you know she’s at the airport, Daddy?”

“Wilbur just called me from a hospital. You should go get Maya first.”

So it was Wilbur on the phone. Then I’m probably right about the two fighting. They were supposed to be having a good time, not arguing with each other. “Okay! I’ll be back soon,” Nina promised.

As soon as Nina got into the Maybach, it exited Imperial Garden and zoomed toward the airport.
