Chapter 226
After the interlude, the meal got carried to the end by Nathaniel’s exquisite social skills. The moment
Hesper saw Nathaniel, she knew that she would not have to talk anymore tonight.
That was Nathaniel in a nutshell. He might seem to be a soft pushover on the surface, but his ability to
look after a family as huge as the Tuckers was absolutely inseparable from his exceptional observation
skills and eloquence.
The group of people went out, and Jessie could not help but stare at Nathaniel, fangirling over the way
he carried himself throughout the whole meal.
“Why did you come here out of the blue? And don’t you feel tired after bluffing to so many people?”
Hesper returned the suit jacket to Nathaniel. “Let me guess, Renee and Isaac must’ve told you
something.”
“Bingo.” The corners of Nathaniel’s lips curled slightly upward. “But it’s true that I passed by your car
downstairs and Matthew did give that reminder, so you should keep this coat for now. You can return it
to me when we see each other next time.”
“I’m in good health. I’m confident that I won’t get sick. But… Alright, alright.”
“No no no, that’s not alright!” Jessie jumped out from the side and wrapped her arms around Hesper’s.
” Don’t you think that you have a lot of explaining to do?! This, this man, what about him? Is he really
your
fiancé?”
Everything that happened tonight was like a dream to Jessie, and every scene during the meal actually
went in directions that Jessie did not expect.
“Is she your friend? She seems… very lively.”
Hesper covered her forehead, stood still, and introduced the two of them to each other, “This is Jessie, Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
my best friend in college and the daughter of my mentor. And this is Nathaniel, my friend.”
“He’s just a friend?” Jessie was a little disappointed. She genuinely felt that Hesper and Nathaniel
seemed to make a good match and that Hesper had found herself a new man to rely on these past few
years.
Hesper was a little helpless. “Stop worrying about me already. Why can’t I choose to live my life
alone?”
Nathaniel stood on the side. He did not admit nor deny anything that came out of Jessie’s mouth, and
as soon as the two of them stopped talking, he said, “I’ve attended my business affair in Genecity, and
I’m heading back to Emperion tonight. I’m delighted to have been able to sit down and have a meal
with your today. It has been quite some time since I last felt so relaxed.”
In fact, Hesper felt very relaxed whenever she was with Nathaniel too. She just did not have to think
about too many things when he was around.
“That fast? Why don’t you stay in Genecity for a while longer?”
Nathaniel shook his head. “I want to too, but sadly, time waits for no one. I’ll take my leave now.”
On the other side of the city, Michelle and Lucy went back home in the same car, and their expressions
looked rather distorted from anger.
“What happened to Hesper these last few years? Why has she changed so much?”
Michelle originally wanted to embarrass Hesper during the meal, but Hesper actually stole all the
limelight from her in the end.
All I got in return throughout the whole dinner party tonight was everyone’s disregard! All the money
that I’ve spent has been wasted!’
But Lucy had fallen into deep thought even since Nathaniel appeared. “I just can’t get Nathaniel’s
looks. out of my head. I feel that he looks extremely familiar, and I think I’ve seen him somewhere…”
Speaking of Nathaniel, a hint of jealousy flashed across Michelle’s eyes.
The moment she first saw Nathaniel, she thought she had met her true love. She really did not expect
him to be Hesper’s fiancé.
‘Why her?! She got good grades in the past, so she was the professor’s favorite. And now she looks
good, and her fiancé looks perfect and gentle! Why does Hesper always get all the good stuff in life for
herself?! Even God shows favoritism!’
