Chapter 196 – The Regretful Billionaire: An Unpredicted Reunion

Filed to story: The Regretful Billionaire: An Unpredicted Reunion >>

“Mr.Quincey, can you check the time? Have you considered that you might be disturbing someone?” She thought Eustace was being extremely selfish for not considering her feelings.

Eustace noticed her sleepy eyes and apologized, “I’m sorry, I just wanted to explain to you—”

“Explain what?”

Danika cut him off, leaning on the door frame, finding the whole situation ridiculous.Since he rushed over after Natalia had visited her, Danika knew what he wanted to explain, but she didn’t care and thought Eustace’s actions were irrelevant.Eustace explained, “I wasn’t trying to keep you in the dark about my father.”

Danika’s indifference and silence made him uncomfortable.

“I didn’t think there was a need for you to know about the existence of a person like him.I wanted to tell you after I dealt with him, however…”

However, Natalia had blabbered about him to Danika.

Danika remained indifferent to his explanation.

“Why are you explaining so much to me? We’ve broken up for a long time.What does your father have to do with me?”

“I didn’t want to break up with you, Danika,” Eustace tried to explain.

“But the situation at that time—”

“I don’t care what the situation was,” Danika stopped him, looking him in the eye.

“I only know that we’ve broken up.”

“Does it not matter that I had absolutely no choice?” Her words jabbed at his heart.

He had broken up with her for her safety, and hearing her dismiss it hurt him deeply.

“Nope, all that matters is that we’ve broken up,” Danika answered.

“I’ll announce my breakup with Natalia tomorrow,” Eustace said, hoping to salvage the situation.

Danika’s mood worsened upon hearing that.

“Mr.Quincey, you be careful of bad karma that comes with not taking people’s feelings seriously,” she warned him, thinking that he was a scumbag for hurriedly wanting to breakup with Natalia when they had only started dating a few days ago. Eustace laughed.

He didn’t take people’s feelings seriously? If that were the case, why was he bean standing at her door? At that moment, he felt that Danika didn’t understand him one bit and had never believed in him. When their eyes met, they could see the disappointment in each other’s eyes. Danika didn’t understand why Eustace would be disappointed in her.

He was the one at fault!

“What kind of person am I to you?” Eustace asked Danika.

His tone was calm, without anger or emotion.

Danika’s brows furrowed.

After a moment of thought, she answered, “You’re just a big fat liar!”

She saw Eustace’s face turn pale, likely hurt by her words.But could he really blame her? He had told her many lies.

“Okay, I understand.”

Eustace sighed, nodding lightly.He turned and left.

What did he understand? Danika didn’t chase after him to ask what he knew.She just stood there and watched him disappear.

For some reason, she felt a trace of pain in her heart.She didn’t know how long he had been gone before she closed the door and returned to bed.

However, she couldn’t sleep a wink.

Christopher anxiously awaited Danika’s arrival at Parrington Airport as the boarding time drew near.He worried that she had changed her mind about going to Bardoff City.

Even if she didn’t want to know about things related to herself, she still needed to help the Zelliots, right? Just as he was about to make a call, Danika called him.

“Are you coming? The plane is about to take off,” Christopher hurriedly asked.

Danika didn’t answer.

Christopher began to panic until he felt a light tap on his shoulder.He turned to see that it was Danika, but he almost didn’t recognize her because she was wearing sunglasses.

“What’s…what’s with these?”

Christopher pointed to her sunglasses, a little puzzled.

Danika shook her head.

“It’s nothing, the sun is bright, so I decided to cover my eyes.”

Looking at the cloudy skies, Christopher thought she should look for a better excuse.

“Didn’t you say the plane is about to take off? Let’s go.” Danika walked toward the security checkpoint without giving him a chance to continue asking.

Christopher had no choice but to follow behind her.

Soon, they boarded the plane, and Danika took off the sunglasses.

When Christopher saw the dark circles beneath her eyes, he finally understood why she wore sunglasses.

“Did you not sleep well last night because you were nervous about meeting my parents?” He tried to crack a joke.

Danika rolled her eyes, irritated by his implication that they were in aromantic relationship.

Christopher quickly reassured her, “Just kidding.Did you have a rough night?”

Danika nodded, squinting and leaning back in her seat.

Christopher wanted to know more but hesitated to ask.

Danika didn’t seem willing to talk about it either.

“You can rest for a while.I’ll wake you up when we’re close.”

Parrington wasn’t too far from Bardoff City.

Nonetheless, the flight would take two hours, allowing Danika to catch up on some sleep.

Danika murmured in agreement and closed her eyes.

The plane took off, and as the noise filled her ears, Danika felt a strange sensation in her heart.

Meanwhile, at the Quincey Group, a reporter announced that Eustace and Natalia had broken up.

Though they issued a joint statement, Eustace wasn’t happy at all.

After leaving Danika’s place the previous night, he went straight to work to distract himself from his thoughts of her, but it didn’t work.

Just then, Vincent knocked on the door and entered the room.

Seeing the frown on Eustace’s face, he knew that he was annoyed.

“What’s the matter?” Eustace asked.

“Miss Zellweger has left for Bardoff City.”

Vincent had just received the news from Danika’s bodyguards, who were powerless to prevent her departure.
