In truth, during the moments when she couldn’t sleep, she had wondered what Nathan’s motive was in doing what he did. It wasn’t that she was confident, but she didn’t believe that he would turn against her for a woman who he barely knew for several days. That was the reason she couldn’t forgive him.
Then, she calmed down, especially since Nathan said himself that he only wanted to get her to pay attention to him. She had thought that was the case as well. She had been almost inseparable from him for a long time. They came back from abroad, accompanied each other as they both got drunk, and even went through some life-threatening moments. Not only that, but they’d even slept in the same bed as well.
The fact that she was not like the other woman tickled Nathan’s fancy. He had already pegged her as someone who shared the same exact interest as he did. He could hang out, drink, and play games with her. He could even discuss with her which woman had the nicer body. Yet, he never thought of trying to take things further with her. “Katie, if it’s still on your mind, I can give you the time to collect your thoughts. I can prove myself to you. So, don’t leave me. Or I…”
Nathan took a deep breath, swallowing the intense bitterness he was feeling at the moment before he continued, “I wouldn’t know what to do without you.”
“I’ve already told you that I don’t blame you, but you need to give me some time to think about the problems between us.” Obediently, he nodded. “Yeah, okay.”
“You can go now.” Still unmoving, he watched her like a hawk. “I’H leave after you go in.”
After Kate grunted her response, she went inside her house. However, Nathan continued to stand by the entrance as he watched her back slowly disappear from his sight. It wasn’t until he saw the lights of her room switched on did he say in that direction, “Goodnight, Katie!”
The next day. When Kate came out, she was surprised to find Nathan waiting by the door. “Why are you still here? Don’t tell me that you’ve stayed here the whole night?”
Smiling, he replied, “Nope, I came here just a little while ago to take you to work.” The corners of her mouth twitched slightly at his words. “There’s no need. I can go to work myself.”
“Since I’m already here, just give me the chance to drive you there. I’ve never had the chance to do that in my life.” After a brief moment of thought, she realized that it was indeed the case. Back then, he would only pick up his girlfriends but had never personally driven them anywhere before. And so, she followed him to his car. “How’s the company these days?”
“It’s good. My magazine company is rising in popularity ever since the incident with Olivia.” “Hmm. Make sure not to overwork yourself.”
Kate was slightly surprised by how caring Nathan was. She couldn’t adapt to this sudden change in his behavior toward her. “It’s fine. Isn’t our purpose here on this earth to work as hard as we possibly can?”
With a smile, Nathan said, “That’s why a woman should find a boyfriend. That way, their boyfriend can take part of their burden as well.” Her lips twitched at his words. “It may very well be the other way around.”
“Then I guess I have to try harder so that my girlfriend won’t be so burdened.” Kate was speechless at this point.
Then, Nathan laughed before he said, “I used to think of my uncle as someone old-fashioned. Not only that, he was clueless about relationships as well. Even when compared to Alex and Hayden, he was like a person that came from a century ago. However, ever since he got together with Olivia, it felt like he had just come to life. It was only with how much he showered her with love and affection that I realized just who was the one in charge of the. relationship. It felt like it was destined right. from the start.”
Kate said, “True. I used to think that Olivia would never get into a relationship with someone in her life. With how wonderful and beautiful she was, I doubt there were many who were worthy in her eyes. I was happy when she got together with your uncle as he truly seemed like the man to be worthy to stand by her side. Although they went through many hardships these past seven years, it was all worth it in the end.”
