The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow novel Chapter 37

Hayley stood there, her face a canvas of distress. "Cyrus, you left your phone at home. I was scared you'd lose it and do something rash to Nancy..."

Cyrus froze, images of Nancy's pale, almost shattered demeanor flooding his mind, leaving a dense thicket of pain in its wake.

With sympathy, Hayley took Cyrus' hand in hers. "Cyrus, you love Nancy so much, and she... she's just confused right now. She'll come around. I know it."

Cyrus' handsome face darkened again, and he suddenly looked up at Hayley.

With tears welling in her eyes, Hayley hugged him. "Cyrus, you and Nancy have had too many misunderstandings. Maybe I should talk to her? We're both women. Maybe we'll find common ground... Uh!"

Cyrus cut her off with a kiss, a move she hadn't anticipated. Quickly, she reciprocated, lifting her gaze to meet his intense kiss. But her eyes drifted toward the balcony.

There stood Nancy, watching them from above. Hayley's gaze, filled with triumph, seemed to say, "Even in your marital home, Cyrus dares to kiss me."

From her vantage point, Nancy noticed Hayley's provoking look. At that moment, Nancy felt no pain.

Cyrus had ripped open all the healing wounds in her heart, exposing the delicate scars, only to ruthlessly tear them open again. If Cyrus could be this cruel, why should she continue to suffer for such a man?

A cold smile played on Nancy's lips as she turned and walked away.

Realizing Nancy had left, Hayley finally averted her gaze. When Hayley found it breathless, Cyrus let go and dragged her out.

"Cyrus, aren't you staying home tonight?" Hayley asked, almost reflexively.

"Not tonight. When Nancy decides to be as gentle as you, when she can let go of Baldrick, I'll come back!" Cyrus said, his expression grim.

He knew everyone, including Hayley, knew of his affection for Nancy. Yet, why couldn't Nancy see it? Especially when she was so close with Baldrick!

The thought of Nancy's hysterical demeanor made Cyrus unsure how to face her. They both needed some time to cool off before talking again.
