Chapter 1841 A Deal

Turning around, I saw that Nick refused to budge. All he did was shake his head at me. “No, Scarlett. I

will seek justice for Rose.”

“Tell him to come out and see me. All I want him to do is to apologize in front of Rose’s grave.”

Nathaniel, apologize? Impossible. How can a demon who kills his own confidantes ever show any

remorse? I understand no husband can ever tolerate the murder of his wife, but now just isn’t the time.

“I promise you that I will help you get what you want out of Nathaniel. Sometime down the road, I will

personally get him to apologize to Rose. But today, you should leave first, all right?” I persuaded him

anxiously.

Given how closely Nathaniel had been watching me, he was probably nearby. In fact, he should already

be on his way home.

“No,” Nick stubbornly refused. With his feet glued to the ground, he didn’t move an inch despite how hard

I pulled him.

As the seconds ticked by, there was simply nothing I could do. After shifting my gaze from the door to

him, I had no choice but to relent.

“Are you sure an apology is all you’re looking for? And that you’re not trying to exact revenge?” I asked

grimly.

“Yes,” Nick answered. “The child cannot lose their father.”

“Can I trust you, Nick?” Although I couldn’t find any flaw in his argument, I remained concerned.

“Definitely.” Nick’s smile widened, further emanating his sincerity.

Left without a choice, I decided to give the reckless idea a go. “Fine, wait here. I’ll give Nathaniel a call

and get him to apologize to you.”

“All right,” Nick agreed before sitting on the sofa to wait.

Considering that he was at the peak of his masculinity, Nick had the bearing of a distinguished

businessman looking to negotiate with his rival.

Nonetheless, it felt to me like the calm before the storm.

Regardless of whether I was being over-sensitive, I knew I had to pacify Nathaniel before the impending

confrontation. Hence, I left Nick by himself and headed out of the house instead.

Just as expected, Nathaniel returned in twenty minutes.

He wasn’t surprised to see me as he walked up and asked calmly, “Have you been waiting for long?”

“No, but I have something to discuss.” I got straight to the point. “Nick is here. He is the husband of the

lady killed by Mr. Jensen and also someone important to me. He wants justice for his wife. Thus, can you

apologize to him later?”

However, Nathaniel digressed, “Last night, I watched a movie where the situation is similar to what’s

going on now. The only difference is the female lead was worried about her man’s well-being.”

The gap in communication exasperated me. But for Nick’s sake, I had to suppress my anger. “Hmm, that

sounds really sweet, but what I’m talking about is urgent. Can you answer me? All you need to do is

apologize to the person you hurt. There’s nothing for you to lose.”

“What’s in it for me?” Nathaniel smiled insidiously.

I had expected him to demand something in return. Hence, I didn’t bother reasoning and made my offer

instead. “As a reward, I will promise to do something you want, as long as it doesn’t involve harming

others.”

“Anything I want?” Nathaniel’s eyes narrowed as if he was weighing the attractiveness of the deal.

“Yes. As long as you don’t hurt him and allow him to leave unharmed,” I pleaded, as that was all I could

do for Nick.

“Fine.” Nathaniel’s eyes sparkled like a child who had just received a lollipop.

Jolted by the look in his eyes, I quickly averted his predatory gaze.

Now that we had a deal, I eagerly led Nathaniel back in.

Seemingly lost in deep thought, Nick didn’t realize we were there until we came up close.
