The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love

Chapter 572

Noah stared ahead and saw the delicate cherry blossom petals that seemed to come from nowhere, landing on his windshield

He was expressionless.

The car left the residential area and drove for about ten minutes towards the destination.

Noah slowly pulled over and parked on the side of the road. His face turned pale, and fine beads of sweat covered his forehead. He took off his watch irritably, revealing a faint scar undemeath the strap. He scratched at the scar in pain.

"Why won't it just leave me alone!"

Scratching did nothing to help

Noah pounded the steering wheel with both hands, bellowing as he hit it.

This hysterical state was a complete contrast to his usual refined and cultured appearance.

He panted for a moment. The pain and itch of the scar didn't relent, and he couldn't help but scratch at it.

It wasn't until the scar broke open and started bleeding that Noah snapped out of it.

He immediately rolled down his shirt sleeve. Frantically opening the glove compartment, he found a bottle, poured out two pills, and threw them into his mouth. Unable to replace any water, Noah had to swallow them dry.

After taking the pills, Noah undid the top two buttons of his shirt and slumped back into his seat, his once beautiful eyes staring blankly at the seemingly endless road ahead.

"Why is it still him?" he muttered to himself

Did she really not care about him at all?

No matter how hard he tried, did she have no feelings for him, not even a tiny bit?

She could love anyone, but why did it have to be Wayne!

Did she love him that much?

Under the influence of the medication, the pain and itching of the wound subsided.

Noah sat there like that for a while before finally sitting up. Retrieving his watch from the passenger seat, he rolled up his sleeve, ignored the bloodstains, and put the watch back on.

His gaze shifted outside the car window. On the roadside, two children were playing with ants under the shade of a tree.

Noah turned to look at the gifts he hadn't bothered to unload from the car.

In the past, every time he returned from a business trip, he would buy gifts for Cory and Ivy. Ivy was a child who cared a lot about the ritual of unwrapping presents. When she first learned to speak, she told Noah, "Ivy wants to get it from the car herself."

So, it became a habit for him not to bring the gifts inside when he got home. Ivy would hold her brother's hand, and they would go get them together.

But today, he could tell that both Cory and Ivy were distant from him. Cory was a very rational child, and Noah guessed he knew who Wayne was and had accepted him, so he was more distant from him than before.

Ivy was also extremely cautious.

In the end, Ivy never mentioned the gift, and Noah didn't bring it up.

He went to the back seat, picked up the carefully chosen gifts, and walked towards the children playing with ants under the tree.

The two kids were totally engrossed in their play, and it wasn't until Noah approached them that they finally looked up at him. Noah handed the gifts to the two children.
