Chapter 280 I Will Repay You
Upon hearing that, Nathan felt his heart throb in pain, and he explained hastily, “No, Katie, no. Deep down in my heart, you are much more important than she is. However, you have ignored me all along, and I’ve been feeling lost. I said many things without thinking them through, but it’s not my intention to hurt you.
I just want you to pay attention to me, and I want you to treat me just like before. In fact, I’d be fine with it even if you were to hit or scold me. I just can’t accept it when you ignore me! In all honesty, last night was mostly about taking revenge against you and not about defending Melanie.
I was taking revenge on you for acting strange around me with your sarcasm and pointed remarks during this period. However, I wasn’t aware that Melanie said so many disgusting things…”
For some reason, Kate inhaled deeply, and she answered in a panic, “Stop speaking. If it’s about that, I am aware of the truth. I do not blame you, and you don’t have to explain repeatedly because I don’t want to hear it!”
With that, she wanted to leave straight away.
Nathan then grabbed Kate, who struggled reflexively. She did not even bother disguising the disgust across her face.
Upon noticing that, he stood rooted to the spot suddenly. She most probably finds me disgusting, doesn’t she?
“I’ve never laid a finger on her. She said all that just to anger you!”
Kate’s lips curled into a smirk, and her gaze gleamed with disgust. “You don’t have to inform me about matters between the two of you because I don’t care at all how you two get along!”
“Katie, are you done?” Jasper called for her while standing beside the car.
She answered straight away, “Yeah, I’m done.”
Nathan asked in a hurry, “Where are you two going?”
Kate answered, “Mastar!” She turned away immediately.
Nathan chased after her a few steps. “Is that your boyfriend?”
Kate stood rooted to the spot when she heard that. After a pause, she turned around to face him while hissing coldly, “Yes!”
“Oh,” responded Nathan in a daze. He stared at her cold and distant back view while feeling his heart break into pieces.
I understand now that Kate is the only one I love. However, I’ve hurt her so much that she’s leaving me.
At a country roadside, Melanie had a hand covering half her face, and her head was covered with blood. At a quick glance, she looked like the walking dead. She did not expect Nathan to be so ruthless. I can’t believe he slashed a knife across my face, and he even threw me out here in the middle of nowhere.
Initially, she wanted to make a phone call, but her phone was out of battery.
She walked until she was exhausted and starving. However, there wasn’t even a car in sight, and Melanie felt as if she might die anytime soon.
Just then, a car drove past, and she waved at it frantically while screaming at the top of her lungs, “Help! Help!”
Nevertheless, the car did not even slow down; instead, it sped past her.
She cursed in the direction of the car driving away. “Do you think you’re great just because you have a car?!”
However, the car reversed unexpectedly.
Melanie calmed down immediately, and she stared at the car when it reversed all the way to stop beside her. The car window lowered, exposing a person who looked like a thug. He asked her defiantly, “Would you like to repeat yourself?”
Melanie bit her lower lip softly, and she bowed deeply at the man in the car. “I’m sorry. I was thrown out here last night, and my phone’s battery is out. I’ve walked so long that I’m exhausted and famished. I’ve tried waving down cars for the whole day, but they were all like you, and they just wouldn’t stop for me. I lost my cool in that instant, and I’m sorry!”
The man’s anger seemed to have lessened upon hearing that, and he asked her, “Who tossed you here?”
“My boyfriend, but he’s no longer my boyfriend now.”
Melanie explained while trying to adjust her appearance. She looked pitiful and aggrieved while licking her wounds.
The man remarked, “Your boyfriend is too cruel.”
Melanie did not answer him, but tears started rolling down her cheeks. “Mister, would you please drive me back to the city? I will repay you.”
The man’s eyes gleamed brightly with intrigue. “Oh? How are you planning to repay me?”
Melanie blushed with shyness. “Anyway you want!”
