Deadly Doting Marriage Novel - Chapter 276
Chapter 276: Mr. Smith, I Don’t Know You
He did not disturb the girl’s performance.
He walked to the bar counter, sat down, and ordered a glass of wine.
He sipped the wine in his glass and stared at the girl’s performance without taking his eyes off her the entire time…
This girl had once had such a romantic night with him. She had once been pregnant with his child, but she had disappeared before his eyes in the end.
It had been half a year.
He finally saw her again!
The girl did not seem to have changed much.
She was still the same little girl with simple makeup on her face. Her demeanor was elegant and quiet, but her entire body was brimming with a youthful aura.
She was not the kind of beauty that could capture you with a glance.
However, she was really very beautiful. She was the kind of beauty that would make people feel more comfortable and at ease the more they looked at her.
Erwin asked the bartender at the bar, “What’s the name of the girl who is playing the piano?”
The bartender smiled and told Erwin the same thing as the other customers who had asked him before, “She’s our pianist, Ms. Betty.”
“She came to our bar half a year ago. Our bar’s business has been getting better and better because of her and her performance.”
The bartender gestured for Erwin to look at the customers in the bar. Then, he continued to tell
Erwin, “They came here to drink because they wanted to listen to Ms. Betty’s performance.”
“They said that they could find resonance with Ms. Betty’s music. They could resonate with her music. ”
Erwin finished his drink.
The bartender pushed another glass of wine to Erwin.
He praised, “Ms. Betty’s piano skills are excellent. She’s definitely at the level of a master.”
“We all feel that Ms. Betty is wasting her talent by performing here. She should go to a concert, but we can’t bear to let Ms. Betty leave…”
The bartender continued to speak.
On the other hand, Erwin was looking in her direction, deep in thought.
The concert ended.
Just like every other time, she won countless applause and cheers.
She seemed to have gotten used to it. She stood up indifferently from her seat, tidied up everything, and walked toward the backstage area of the bar. It seemed that she was preparing to leave.
Erwin immediately stood up as well.
He chased after the girl and blocked her way…
The girl who was playing at the bar and whom Erwin met was none other than Nancy, who had disappeared after the incident half a year ago.
She came to the bar to perform as usual. After the same performance, she came backstage, packed her things, and prepared to go home.
Her brother was still waiting for her at home.
Moreover, her brother had made her promise him that she had to go home before ten o’clock every night, or else…
Nancy remembered clearly that her brother told her with a straight face, “Nancy, you can go to the bar to perform, but you have to go home before ten o’clock every day.”
“Otherwise, I’ll break your legs and make sure you never go out again!”
Nancy knew that her brother doted on her and was worried about her. She had promised her brother that she would always be obedient and return home before ten o’clock every day.
She was carrying her bag and walking outside.
However, she was suddenly blocked by a tall figure.
Before Nancy could raise her head, she spoke first, “Excuse me, please. Thank you.”
As she finished speaking, Nancy raised her head as well. She saw the man who was standing in front of her at that moment. She saw that handsome and flawless face.
How many times had this face appeared in her dreams?
She fell in love with him because of his handsome face and the warmth he had given her, but it was a tragic one-sided love!
She had been tortured until she was covered in bruises. She would never fall in love again because of him!
Her heart was still filled with bitterness and sadness.
Nancy’s gaze was cold as if she did not know Erwin at all. With an indifferent expression, she said, “Sir, you’re blocking my way.”
Erwin frowned.
He looked at the woman in front of him, who pretended not to know him. It was as if something had blocked his heart. He felt stifled and uncomfortable. He asked in a deep voice, “You don’t know me?”
“Should I know you?” Nancy asked in an indifferent tone.
Erwin’s frown deepened.
He had clearly recognized the person. This girl’s appearance did not change at all from half a year ago.
However, it seemed to be different again!
Nancy used to be shy and excited every time she saw him. She would blush, and her bright eyes would be filled with him.
She would secretly pay attention to him.
However, she was so careful that she did not dare to look him in the eye.
This girl really did not seem to know him at all. She looked at him with an unfamiliar gaze, as if she had never met him before.
Erwin wondered if he was really mistaken?
He looked at the girl and asked, “Aren’t you Nancy?”
She did not deny that she was not.
Instead, she told Erwin, “I’m Betty.”
Then, while Erwin was still in a daze, she staggered away and left.
She hurriedly walked out of the bar and jogged to the platform.
Just then, a tram arrived, and Nancy got in the car to go home.
As the tram drove away, she turned around and looked out of the window.
She did not expect to meet Erwin again, nor did she expect him to take the initiative to talk to her.
After all, back then…
Nancy recalled what happened.
When she told Erwin that she was pregnant, he was not as happy as she thought he would be.
Instead, he was cold and indifferent, with a sarcastic and disdainful smile on his face. “I thought it was just a consensual affair that day. I didn’t expect… Heh! You actually planned it all along!”
“Not just anyone can give birth to my child!”
At that time, she was completely stunned.
She did not expect her accidental pregnancy, which made her so happy, would be disregarded as premeditated by Erwin!
He even gave her a bank card.
He told her coldly, “Abort the child. This is your compensation!”
Nancy thought of the child in her stomach again. The child was aborted before it could take shape…
Tears welled up in her eyes, and tears fell.
However, Nancy quickly composed herself and wiped away the tears on her face. She shook away the thoughts about the past that made her sad.
Instead, she looked at the familiar scenery that was continuously regressing..
