Mila felt the atmosphere become tense. She took a deep breath as she
gathered her courage and walked toward him.Upon hearing the footsteps, Nathan slowly looked up.Mila didn’t greet him. She sat on the opposite sofa with a cold
expression. She acted cold toward him to hide her shyness. She puffed
her cheeks and avoided eye contact with him.Nathan slightly furrowed his brow. He noticed that her cheeks were
flushed as she looked a bit shy and a bit angry.FindNovel.netNathan’s gaze was affectionate as he greeted her in a gentle tone, “Still
have a headache?”His voice was too light for Mila to hear clearly, but she vaguely heard
him asking if she still had a headache.Mila gritted her teeth. She pretended to be calm and glared at him. She
asked, “Don’t you think what you did was too much?”Nathan recalled her grievance and tearful expression last night. He
closed his laptop and looked at her as he felt guilty. “I’m sorry. I
apologize to you. I’ll make sure it won’t happen again in the future.”
Mila’s expression changed suddenly. She felt very uncomfortable.It wouldn’t happen again in the future? What did he take her for? A one-
night stand?”Nathan, what exactly do you mean?” Mila asked as she clenched her
fists. She gazed at him with teary eyes.Nathan’s heart squeezed. He put his laptop on the coffee table and
leaned toward her, asking, “Why are you crying? Is my apology not
sincere enough? Then what do you want me to do?”What did she want?As long as she was still a researcher at Sunterland, she didn’t dare to
think about anything else. She couldn’t be with him openly and couldn’t
marry him either.”Why did you bring me back?” Mila asked as she controlled her
emotions. Her feeling of resentment intensified even more.Nathan calmly replied, “I can easily protect you if you’re by my side.”
Mila wore a bitter smile because she couldn’t disagree with his words.
She had nothing to say, so she stood up coldly and turned to leave. Ads by PubFuture
As she walked a few steps forward, Nathan caught up to her. He
grabbed her arm and pulled her back. Holding both of her arms, he
bent down to look into her eyes.He said gently, “Let’s talk about it peacefully, okay?”Mila was furious. “There’s nothing to talk about.”Nathan’s heart lurched. He suppressed his emotions and murmured, “If
you have anything that you’re not satisfied with, just tell me. Please
don’t give me the cold shoulder.”Mila remained silent. She felt wronged as she angrily glared at him.
Nathan’s gaze became more intense. “Chubs, do you like me?” he
asked, holding his breath.Mila bit her lip. After a moment, she said, “No.”Nathan’s heart ached, but he didn’t give up. He asked sadly, “If you
don’t like me, why are you jealous of Fenna? Why did you go to the bar
to get drunk?”Mila shook off his hand forcefully. She took a step back, choked back
her tears, and replied, “You knew I was jealous, yet you still protected
Fenna. Is that the way to treat me?”Nathan was nervous. “You admit it? You do like me, right?””No,” Mila replied without hesitation. She shouted angrily, “I don’t like
you anymore.”Nathan’s eyes reddened. He felt agitated and helpless. His hand
trembled as he slowly reached out to hold hers.Mila immediately placed her hand behind her back to avoid his touch.
His hand hung in the air for a moment before lowering it resignedly.
“Anymore?” Nathan muttered. He smiled bitterly and asked, “So did
you ever like me?”Mila took a deep breath, trying to calm down as much as possible. She
said, “Nathan, you don’t even know what your problem is.” The most update n0vels are published on (F)indN(o)vᴇl.nᴇtNathan replied, “Tell me then if I don’t know.”
