His Only Antidote by Shirley Owen

Chapter 44

Did Nola hear it wrong?

No matter how Nola asked, Elvis didn’t say anything, and in the end, Nola had no choice but to give up.

“Why don’t you tell me? Are you afraid that | will laugh at you?”

Elvis closed the car door and led Nola into the house. It was better not to take the initiative to tell Nola for the

tbeing.

“I didn’t expect you to be afraid of something.”

“I'm an ordinary person.” At the door, Elvis suddenly stopped and looked at Nola seriously. “You know that I ! ‘t

had many people around me, so | don’t know what should I do, but | can guarantee that you will have what other

women have.”

Elvis suddenly becserious, which made Nola a little at a loss.

Nola smiled and said, “You are so nice, and | feel uneasy. I'm worried that | am not good enough, and that | am

not qualified to stand by your side. You are Elvis, a man standing at the top. | will muster up my courage and try

my best to accompany you.

We will work together. | will make myself better and prove that our decision was not wrong.”

The warm embrace made Nola feel at ease. Alisa had been waiting at the entrance and did not disturb the two of

them.

Back home, there were more things belonging to Nola in Breeze Garden, such as the pink slippers at the

entrance and the cute mug in the kitchen. The cloakroom was no longer dark in color but was full of clothes

prepared for Nola. In the bathroom, the toothbrushes and cups of the two were placed together.

Everything was telling Elvis that now he had a gentle and cute woman by his side.

Elvis hid this joy deeply in his heart. Seeing Nola’s happy smile, he felt satisfied in his heart.

Nola was like a child, eager to go upstairs to unwrap the presents. Like a child who got a lot of presents during

the New Year, she opened the gift from the old lady first, and it turned out to be an exquisite bracelet.

The color of the bracelet was very good, without any impurities. Nola knew that this bracelet was very valuable.

“Mom also has one bracelet. When she married into the Grayson family, grandma gave it to her.” When Elvis

said this, Nola remembered that she saw the jade bracelet on Evelyn's right hand. It was darker than this one

and suitable for Evelyn.

In one of the other two boxes, there was a gold hairpin made of pure gold, which was finely crafted.

“This is?”

“Mom prepared this. Grandma prepared a jade bracelet, and Mom thought that this hairpin would match it.”

The remaining one was a jade pendant. The material was high-quality. These three gifts were worth a lot.

“These things are too precious.”

“Anyone who marries into the Grayson family will have a share, and it will show your status. The gold hairpin

may not be as valuable as other things, but it is my mother’s favorite thing. She made it out according to her

style.”

After Elvis explained clearly, Nola knew what these three gifts meant.

“Have | passed the test today?” Nola finally felt relieved. What she received was not only the gift but also the

Grayson family’s approval of her. Nola was very happy.

“Silly girl, they have given these gifts to you. What do you think?”

“Can | ask you a question? Don’t be angry.” Nola was just an ordinary woman. All of this was good, but she still

thought of

someone.

“What?”

“When you and Nancy were going to get engaged at that time, did she receive these gifts?”

Nola knew that she shouldn’t mention Nancy in front of Elvis. Seeing that Elvis didn’t speak, Nola secretly

scolded herself. She shouldn't have asked him that.

Last time, Nola quarreled with Elvis because of Nancy. This time, she asked about it stupidly again.

“I'm sorry. If you don’t want to answer, forget it. | shouldn't have asked this question.”

Elvis didn’t say anything. He patted Nola’s head, pulled her out of the master bedroom, and walked upstairs.

Nola didn’t understand where Elvis was taking her. Bypassing the third floor, Elvis led her directly to the fourth

floor. There was only one room, and the vacant space had been turned into a large open-air balcony.

When reaching the last step, Nola refused to go on.

She remembered that Alisa said that no one else could enter the room on the fourth floor. Later, when she found

out about Nancy's existence, she guessed that this room probably had something to do with Nancy.

Since that was their past, Nola didn’t want to get involved.

“Follow me.”

“Nola, don’t you believe me?” Today, Elvis thought of Nancy twice, and when Nola asked him, he suddenly

understood something.

Nancy was a big problem between Elvis and Nola, and they quarreled because of Nancy before. Elvis didn’t want

this kind of thing to happen again. Now that Nola was married to him, and they decided to let each other go into

their own world, he did not need to hide everything about the past.

Nola moved slowly, and the fear gradually rose in her heart.

The entire fourth floor was extremely bright. Elvis held Nola’s hand and opened the door. Nola thought that what

she saw would be a pink room, but when she saw everything clearly, she looked at Elvis in surprise.

“These are the only things Nancy left behind. They are sphotos and videos taken during the performance,

the violin she used, and sthings she liked.”

Elvis pulled Nola to sit down, and began to talk about his past with Nancy.

Their past was a plain but sweet first love. At that time, they were still young. Elvis had always been excellent,

and from the very beginning, he was busy with his studies and the company.

They didn’t spend much ttogether, but Elvis would go to Nancy's concert every time. Nancy had liked the

violin since she was a child, and she was lively and cheerful like an elf.

They both thought that their life would continue in such a peaceful way. Unexpectedly, something happened to

the Rivers family. When Nancy's parents fell from the building and died, Nancy rushed to the hospital in a hurry,

but she got into a car

accident and died.

Elvis’ life had been black for a long time, and he couldn't really let go of it after such a long time.

“Nola, from now on, you don’t need to compare yourself with anyone, and neither do I. | decided to let go of

these things. and | will let Alisa clean them up tomorrow.”

Nola was very surprised by his decision. “Why?”
