The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot

Chapter 273: Speechless

Holly Sawyer had just finished processing some documents and was planning to order takeout when the doorbell rang.

"What’s up?"

Holly opened the door to see Nancy Miller with her head bowed and her eyes red, and she furrowed her brow lightly.

She looked like she’d been crying.

The Nancy Miller in Holly’s memory was strong and cool, not someone who would cry over a minor issue, definitely not a fragile girl.

"Sis..."

Upon seeing Holly, Nancy instantly threw herself into Holly’s arms and started twitching uncontrollably, her tears began to fall.

"What happened?"

Holly let Nancy inside; she didn’t look well.

"...I broke up."

After a long pause, Nancy uttered a few words, lightly biting her lip, her eyes red.

Holly abruptly stood up; how could someone she cared about be bullied?

"Sis, it has nothing to do with Noah; I initiated the breakup."

Nancy tugged at Holly, sniffled, and shook her head at Holly’s words.

During this relationship, Noah had been exceptionally good to her, catering to her every need.

Gradually, she opened up her heart to him.

Noah was truly wonderful.

Holly frowned; she looked at Nancy, silent.

"His mother came to see me; it’s that kind of melodramatic scene."

Nancy lightly bit her lip and slowly spoke.

Pretty melodramatic.

Like in many melodramatic plots, Noah’s mother threw a check at her, saying she was unworthy of Noah and told Nancy to leave Noah voluntarily.

Holly: "???"

Seriously?

"So, you just left?"

Holly looked at Nancy like she was looking at an idiot.

She’d seen such scenes many times; it wasn’t anything serious.

If Noah really loved Nancy, he would find a way to resolve it himself.

"She said if I didn’t leave Noah, he would be left with nothing, and after living a life of luxury, how could he be left with nothing?"

Nancy lightly bit her lip, bowing her head slightly.

Holly: "???"

This kid surely has some issues with her brain?

Holly reached out to feel Nancy’s forehead, looking at Nancy like she was looking at a fool.

Seriously?

She just left like that?

"Nancy, is there something wrong with your head?"

After getting closer, Holly rarely called Nancy’s full name.

Nancy didn’t speak; she just looked at Holly.

She didn’t understand why Holly was scolding her; she was really upset now.

"If he is left with nothing and can’t even support himself, then is he worth liking at all?"

"Moreover, his mom only has one son; would she really let her only son be left with nothing?"

Holly’s gaze fell on Nancy’s face; she questioned coldly, looking at Nancy like she was an idiot.

It wasn’t like Noah couldn’t support himself; although he seemed carefree, he was serious when needed.

Besides, if Noah couldn’t protect Nancy, then why should he even like her?

Nancy blinked and stared blankly at Holly, lightly biting her lip.

"I’m here behind you, as long as he doesn’t mention breaking up, no matter how others threaten you, you should maintain your stance."

Holly gently rubbed Nancy’s head and spoke softly.

Right, Holly was her support, she wouldn’t let Nancy suffer grievances.

If Noah initiated it, then he could face lifelong consequences and pain.

She protected her loved ones fiercely; while she might endure it if someone bullied her, she couldn’t bear anyone bullying someone she cared about.

"What should I do now?"

Nancy gently blinked, looking at Holly, confused.

She didn’t know what to do; she hadn’t dealt with anything like this before.

"Talk it over; if his position is to abandon you, then he’s done for."

Holly gently curved her lips.

She didn’t think Noah was someone easily bullied, nor did she believe Noah would abandon Nancy over this.

"If, I mean if..."

"No ifs, if there really is one, I’ll make sure Noah spends his life in a wheelchair."

Nancy hadn’t finished speaking when Holly interrupted.

Just as Holly finished speaking, the door opened, and Noah Raines stood frozen at the doorway.

Holly’s words were heard by him and Leo Grant next to him.

Whoa?

What the heck?

He felt really innocent.

Nancy suddenly, without any reason, suggested breaking up, leaving him dumbfounded and thoroughly confused.

Their relationship had been pretty good, without any conflicts, so Nancy suddenly proposing a breakup, Noah being left at a loss was the strangest thing.

No matter how many calls he made to Nancy, she didn’t answer, leaving him frightened, and Holly was the first person he thought of. He rushed over and encountered Leo downstairs.

Upon arriving, he heard Holly’s words, and Noah started trembling; gosh, it was really terrifying.

He hadn’t done anything wrong, it seemed.

The sound of the door opening caught Holly and Nancy’s attention; they turned and saw Noah and Leo.

"Nancy, did I do something to upset you?"

Noah did not care about anything else; he directly went forward and embraced Nancy tightly.

He didn’t know what he did wrong, Nancy proposing a breakup so suddenly.

He was extremely scared.

"No."

Nancy shook her head.

Leo, unaware of the situation, walked over to Holly and handed her the small cake he had with him.

Every time he returned home, he would bring Holly some food; it had become a habit.

"Why did you suggest a breakup? Was I not good enough?"

Noah looked at Nancy, his eyes filled with confusion.

Truly terrified.

Extremely scared.

"No, I take back what I said."

Nancy lightly bit the corners of her lips and spoke softly.

Having listened to Holly’s words, she felt completely relieved.

Yeah, since Noah hadn’t brought it up, why should she talk about it?

If Noah couldn’t even support himself, then why would he be worth liking?

Nancy didn’t think she was that great, but at least she could support herself, so why couldn’t Noah, a grown man?

"What’s the reason?"

Noah asked.

Nancy stayed silent.

Holly lazily lifted her eyes and explained the whole story, her tone remaining indifferent throughout.

Nancy: "..."

It was such an embarrassing thing, but Holly just said it out loud, leaving Nancy red-faced.
