First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Slapped in the Face

"I told him... you were with me."

Justin Nash and Serena Jennings’ gazes remained locked.

He had expected that after he said these words, he would see either panic, anger, or reproach on Serena’s face.

After all, his words had caused Caleb Lockwood’s misunderstanding of Serena.

And Serena... deeply loved Caleb Lockwood.

However, Serena reacted very calmly.

This calmness greatly surprised Justin Nash.

"Well, you’re not wrong."

Serena’s voice was indifferent, as cold as the sea breeze blowing in from the window.

She was indeed with Justin Nash now, so what he said wasn’t a lie.

Serena’s health hadn’t fully recovered; though she was awake, her body was still weak, her complexion pale as paper.

At this moment, in Justin Nash’s eyes, Serena’s expression looked as if all hope had died.

"Serena..."

Justin Nash frowned, feeling as though a lump was stuck in his throat, unable to spit it out or swallow it.

"Could you help me close the window a bit more?"

"Oh... sure, sure..."

Justin Nash obliged.

He opened the window, hoping to air out the long-uninhabited seaside villa, allowing fresh air to circulate so Serena wouldn’t feel too damp and moldy.

Although Serena was wrapped in a blanket, she still felt no warmth.

When she was tied up in the warehouse and was informed by Dylan Quinn that Caleb Lockwood had chosen Claire Shaw over her, when she jumped into the cold, dark sea uncertain whether she would survive...

The fear and pain from those moments still lingered in her body, so she felt cold no matter how thick the blanket was.

"Justin Nash, do you really have no regrets?"

Serena’s question momentarily left Justin Nash unable to respond.

"What do you mean... exactly?"

"Running away from the wedding..."

Serena saw Justin Nash involuntarily raise his eyes slightly.

The Nash Family and The Fulton Family must have extraordinary ties of interest, so despite Justin Nash’s dislike for Cynthia Fulton, he still agreed to be with her until the wedding.

Now that Justin Nash had fled the wedding, what he faces next can’t be solved by simply hiding in this seaside villa for a lifetime.

"I have no regrets!"

Justin Nash unwaveringly stared at Serena, his tone firm.

"Really..."

Serena felt a mix of emotions.

Back then, she fell in love with Caleb Lockwood without hesitation, later marrying him like a moth drawn to flame.

She also didn’t regret it.

However...

Serena smiled.

Justin Nash was taken aback when he saw Serena suddenly bloom into a smile.

Serena’s smile was beautiful.

The paler her complexion became, the more the self-mocking smile held a fragile beauty.

Justin Nash gazed at Serena, becoming captivated.

After surviving by the skin of her teeth, Serena felt as though she had picked up a spare life.

She thought, her love for Caleb Lockwood...

might as well stay forever, alongside that diamond ring tossed into the sea, within the dark, cold waters.

Venus Cathedral.

The priest, choir, and the guests from afar were all growing impatient.

Of course, the most anxious one was the bride herself.

If it weren’t in front of the crowd, Cynthia Fulton would have gone ballistic.

Justin Nash didn’t come!

He didn’t show up at the agreed time, Justin Nash didn’t appear.

At the time of the wedding, Justin Nash didn’t appear.

Over an hour had passed, yet Justin Nash still didn’t appear.

In the VIP section, Claire Shaw sat beside Caleb Lockwood, unable to hold back her murmur:

"What’s with Justin Nash? How can he be late for something as important as his wedding? Could something have happened?"

"He won’t be coming."
