Chapter 0549
Nicholas still had a bit of conscience left. He knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't argue when | told him to
leave again.
He silently got dressed, packing all of his belongings into the bag. As the door closed behind him, a barely
noticeable sigh lingered in the air, unable to fade away.
| went back to my room and threw out all the things on the bed, including the towel he had used in the
bathroom. | then grabbed sperfand sprayed every corner of the room.
The next morning, | woke up groggy, feeling as if | hadn't really slept at all.
Suddenly, my phone rang. It was Yasmine, her voice full of amusement. "What's Nicholas up to now?"
"What happened?" | asked lazily, switching to speakerphone while holding my toothbrush in one hand and a cup
in the other.
"Nicholas is too trendy. He's gone viral!" Yasmine's voice was excited. "He did an explicit photoshoot, nearly
naked except for the important parts! His official account posted a nine-grid photo collage-each one a
masterpiece!"
"What? Say that again." | even wondered if | was still half-asleep. | didn't consider at all that what Yasmine said
might be true.
"Don't doubt your ears! | thought | was blind when | saw it too! Nicholas reposted it on his personal account,

For sreason, his words from last night about givingan explanation replayed in my head. Was this his
idea of making it right?
"Hello? Ari, are you still there?"
"Yeah, I'm here...." | was a little dazed.
"So what do you think happened to him? Is his illness still acting up? Did something trigger him?"
Nicholas' condition probably did leave saftereffects. Emotional issues were tough to fully cure and required
long-term medication and therapy.
Now, | felt like Nicholas wasn't just dealing with depression but perhaps sform of split personality. He
couldn't even tell who he truly cared about anymore.
"It's not because of his illness." | was afraid Yasmine would keep asking questions, so | just briefly mentioned the
photo from last night.
On the other end of the line, Yasmine let out a series of gasps like an excited kid who got candy from their
parents.
Finally, she concluded, "Nicholas really went all out with that self-destructive apology, but he's still a man,
though. "Even though we always talk about gender equality, sthings just can't be equal. His actions may not
make up for everything, but they do show ssincerity."
| shook my head, not really caring about this. "It's all in the past now."
