Kate could not quite seem to feel at ease after which she took his phone. “You should focus on your driving and I’ll search for the information.” Nathan responded, “Sure.”
She used his phone and searched for the latest movies released while asking, “Do you want to watch a comedy?” He replied, “Sure, you can find one that you enjoy.”
As soon as Nathan said that, there was a ping indicating a notification as a message popped up on the top of his phone. ‘Nate, this is Melanie here…”
There was more to the message, but it did not take long for it to disappear. However, Kate clearly saw the name ‘Melanie’. She instinctively stopped her search and tapped into the WhatsApp icon. Indeed, she saw an unread message.
I’m still hospitalized and the money you gave me the last time is all used up. For old times’ sake, could you give me some more money? I’ll definitely repay you once I recover.”
As soon as Kate saw that, the blood drained from her face and she could feel her blood run cold through her veins. For a moment there, she felt as if she was stuck in an icy-cold cellar. The numbness and coldness that trickled through her gave her goosebumps all over.
He’s still in contact with Melanie. She wants to borrow some more money, so that means he has lent her money before. They’re still entangled with each other? What old times’ sake? What sort of memorable past did they have with each other? How does she even plan on repaying him, huh? Why am I so naive?!
How could I have trusted this man’s lies and trusted that nothing was going on between him and Melanie? How could I have trusted his claims that I’m the one he is in love with, huh? If he loved me, then why did he keep the contact details of the person who harmed me?
If he loved me, then why would he maintain contact with that woman and lend her money repeatedly? No! Perhaps he didn’t lend her the money. Perhaps he gave it to her willingly by taking into account their history! If I wasn’t in the car right now, they would be happily conversing with each other now, huh?
“Who is the message from?” Nathan noticed the change in Kate’s expression, so he could not help but ask. Not sparing a glance at him, she gripped the phone in her hands mechanically while saying, “Stop the car.” The man frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Suddenly, Kate raged and yelled at him wildly, “1 told you to stop the car!” Nathan was startled by her outburst and he instinctively pulled the car over by the side of the road.
She was about to open the door when Nathan grabbed her hand to stop her. “Katie, what’s going on?” Kate angrily shrugged his hands off and she felt the tears about to roll out of her eyelids. “Don’t touch me! Nathan, I won’t trust your words ever again!” After she said that, she flung the flowers in her arms and the phone in her hands directly onto his head.
He managed to dodge the bouquet of roses, but he was subsequently hit on the nose by his phone. Instantly, he winced in pain and tears came to his eyes. However, he continued to keep a tight hold on Kate, who was struggling to get away. “No, wait. Even if you’re upset with me, you should at least tell me the reason, right?”
She increased her force and flung his hand aside as she struggled to get out of his hold. “We’re both grown-ups, so it doesn’t matter who you’re in contact with or who you choose to cease contact from, but please don’t claim that you’re in love with me, alright? I find that quite disgusting even if you don’t!”
Finishing her ‘explanation’, she instantly pulled open the door and alighted from the car. On the other hand, Nathan was left dumbfounded. What’s going on?
He took the phone in his hand and nearly spewed profanities as soon as he saw the message. I’ve deleted Melanie’s contact details, so who the heck is this?!
He then scanned at the profile picture of the other party and realized that it was the person he had employed a few days ago as a video. game designer. How did this person turn into Melanie? No wonder Kate blew up!
He grabbed his hair frantically and hurriedly shoved the bouquet aside before opening the door to go after Kate. “Katie, wait up!”
