“Who wants to care about you?” Kate asked while pushing him. Nathan dragged her back. “No, you have to care about me. In any case, you’ve already cared about me for so many years. My life has been a mess since you stopped caring about me all of a sudden. Olivia and my uncle have been disapproving of me all this while, too.”
Kate was visibly moved by his words at first, but then she heard him complaining aggrievedly at the end of a speech like an abandoned puppy. She almost couldn’t help laughing while looking back at Olivia and Eugene.
Olivia darted a frosty look at Nathan. “Don’t sweet-talk your girlfriend at our expense. Even though we disapprove of you, we’ve helped you so much. Do you have a conscience?”
Nathan smiled and bent down before kissing Kate on the forehead while she wasn’t noticing. “Don’t be mad at me anymore. I’m inexperienced in love, no?” Bashful and exasperated, Kate raised her hand. to beat him. “You’re inexperienced in love? You change girlfriends like gloves!”
Nathan dodged her while explaining. “That only goes to show that I’m inexperienced in love. If I were an experienced lover, I wouldn’t have changed girlfriends like that, no? Look at my uncle. He’s so smart and emotionally intelligent that he doesn’t have to get another girlfriend at all!”
Kate pounded his chest angrily with her fist. “It’s all false reasoning! Let go of me!” Does he not feel embarrassed with so many people watching?
Nathan held her in his arms while refusing to let go of her. “Sorry. I was wrong; I was really, really wrong. Just forgive me this one time, okay? I’ll let go of you if you forgive me.”
Kate struggled in anger, saying, “Nathan, you think I can’t fight you, huh? Get off me!”
Holding her in his arms, Nathan promised in all seriousness, “I promise I’ll never give you any opportunity to get the wrong idea about me anymore. If this happens again, just ignore me forever and leave me to myself!”
Kate curled her lips. “Yeah, dream on. If that happens again, I’ll… She put her hand at his neck and made a cut-throat gesture. Nathan laughed. “Let me be your boyfriend, and I’ll give you my life!”
Kate replied, “So what? Why would I care about that?”
Melanie and Gwen were stupefied. Weren’t they having a heated argument just now? Why are
they starting to flirt with each other now? Don’t tell me they’ve kissed and made up so easily after the effort we’ve put in over the last few days? Also, we’ve gotten a beating for that!
Just then, there was a knock on the door. It was the waiter, who was carrying two food containers. “Sir, here are the Caesar salad and the Swedish meatballs packaged.” you ordered to be “Uh-huh,” Eugene replied. ‘Put them there,” he said before turning to look at Nathan. “She’s now yours, so do whatever you want with her. We gotta go.” Olivia also stood up and said to Kate, “Come to my place someday!”
“Okay, Kate replied. Eugene stood up and stepped out of the private room with the packaged food in one hand and Olivia in the other. Nathan said with a smile, “Thank you, Uncle and Olivia!”
Eugene replied without looking back, “Call her Aunt!” Nathan immediately corrected himself, saying, “Thank you, Aunt!” Olivia curled her lips. “Have I become someone’s aunt at such a young age?”
Eugene chuckled. “It can’t be helped. You’re technically his aunt, after all.” Nathan darted a look at Melanie and Gwent before looking back to ask Kate, “How would. you like to deal with them?”
Kate darted a look at them as well. “Let’s leave it at that. You’ve taught them a lesson, anyway.” Nathan argued, “This is far from enough! How about we hand them over to the police?”
Gwen hurriedly pleaded, “Sorry, Nate. I was wrong. I wasn’t in my right mind at the time. I know that I’ve taken the wrong approach, but please don’t hand me over to the police. If my dad learns about this, he’ll beat me to death.”
Melanie looked at Nathan pitifully, but she dared not say anything, knowing that he might become even more angry if she were to do so. He had struck her right away without wasting his breath talking to her when he went to her that day.
