Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

Chapter 396: Just that ...

396 Just that ...

A couple of seconds passed and became a minute and then a couple of minutes passed.

It was only when her sobs stopped, she realized that from that time she was leaning on to him and him being the perfect gentleman, stood still without making any attempts to touch her.

"I am sorry", she said and retracted back.

"It's ok", he said and cleared his throat, looking towards to his right side, trying to avoid any direct eye contact with her.

She looked at the big blotch on his shirt and couldn't believe that she had ruined his shirt to this extent.

"I... I... ", saying that she pointed her finger towards that blotch to him and said,

"I was totally lost and didn't realize that I was ruining your shirt."

"Don't bother about it."

Then looking at her he asked,

"Will you be able to drive back to your place?"

"Yeah, I am all fine. I am going to need that pen-drive."

"Sure thing. It's inside my house, come will give it to you."

Saying that he started walking towards his house and Akira followed behind. Just when they were about to reach his place, Dr. Nelson realized something and said immediately,

"You can stay here. I will get the drive for you."

"Sure, no problem."

Akira said but she was weirded out because of his strange behavior all of a sudden. She couldn't understand why he acted that way but she decided to ignore as she had far more important things to focus upon at that point of time.

A couple of minutes later he came outside with the pen drive and handed it to Akira.

"By the way, I really have no issues if something happens between you and Dr. Oshana. I mean I will never mind if you are interested in her. She did no harm to you."

"What the hell are you talking about?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel?faster updates, better experience?

"Isn't that why you didn't let me enter your house? I guess you are worried that I will feel weird to see her in some questionable condition in your house right?"

Pinching the space between his brows, Dr. Nelson said,

"I... I just don't want you to see how messed up my house is. My house help is on leave for a week so you can imagine how bad it is. Else I would have definitely invited you in."

"If you say so."

Akira said and smiled and turned to walk towards her car.

The main reason why he stood outside when she came and even now why he didn't let her in because he didn't want her to see any pictures of Alita. He didn't want her to think of his actions as an act of sympathy because she looked like his wife, even though partially even he knew that was the truth.

He had turned a couple of pictures upside down when Dr. Oshana had come in, but anyways she was tipsy, but he was pretty sure that the sharp and vigil eyes of Akira will be able to find some picture of her in some room. And he wanted to avoid that. At least for the time being.

He saw her walking towards her car and somehow a strange uneasiness started growing inside of his chest, so he paced towards her and before she could open the car door, he blocked her and said,

"Do not get such thoughts inside of your head. She means nothing to me. She never did. Neither before, nor now. I hope we are clear on that."

Akira smiled at him and then said,

"You have done more than enough for me Jaby. If you want to pursue her then do it by all means. And if don't want to then also it's great. But just that...."

"Just what Akira?"
