Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 710 Take A Hike, Please

Nathan could not recall whether he put his mobile phone on flight mode. He did not usually turn his phone off, so... Was it Audrey who did it?

Nathan remembered that when they were in the car, Audrey had used his phone for a while. But why would she set his mobile phone on airplane mode?

After thinking for a while, Nathan concluded that Audrey would not do such a rude thing. He convinced himself that maybe it was because of his carelessness. He was quite busy in the afternoon, so he did not have time to look at his phone.

It was not until one o'clock in the early morning that Nathan finished his work. He took the key to open Adrian's bedroom and gently took Mandy back to their bedroom.

Although Nathan was very gentle, Mandy was still awakened by him. She was very upset before she fell asleep, so she was in a light sleep state. When Nathan picked her up, she immediately felt it. She did not want to wake her son, so she kept silent all the way.

In their bedroom, when Nathan was about to turn on the light, he suddenly realized that it might awaken Mandy. He decided to keep the light off, and carefully walked toward the bed step by step. The bedroom was dark, and Mandy was pretending to be asleep. It was dark enough for Nathan not to notice it.

After Nathan set her down gently on the bed, Mandy kept still and quiet and breathed steadily. She deliberately turned away from Nathan, not wanting to sleep in his arms. She could not leave him now, so she just turned her back on him.

A touch of tenderness appeared on Nathan's cold yet still handsome face. He looked at Mandy passionately. His dark eyes were like lanterns floating in the sea. They lit up the darkness in the room.

When his slender fingers touched her round, smooth shoulders, he wanted to turn her over, but he felt some sort of force that told him to withdraw. Nathan narrowed his eyes and realized that Mandy was already awake.

"Are you awake, Mandy? Did I wake you up? I'm so sorry," Nathan said softly as he looked directly at her, his dark eyes like a clear, bottomless pool.

"Please go to sleep in the guest room and stay away from me tonight." Mandy did not directly answer his question, but she replied with a grave face.

Suddenly, the atmosphere around them turned so heavy and depressing that they could almost taste it. Nathan casually flipped Mandy's long hair with a gentle smile on his delicate lips. "What's up, honey?" he asked, quite confused.

"Nothing's up. I just don't want to see you or be around you tonight, okay?" Saying that Mandy felt so aggrieved. She had not had a proper lunch because she felt a little lonely, eating her lunch without Nathan. All she ate for lunch was the cup of yogurt Quintin had brought her. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Truth to be told, Mandy's original intention was not to refuse lunch altogether just because of Nathan. It was just that she had had a late breakfast. She was still full at lunch time. She was looking forward to having supper with Nathan, though, only to end up missing it because he came home late.

"What's wrong with you?" Nathan smiled lightly. There was a touch of tenderness in his dark, almost mysterious eyes.

"Don't play with me now, Nathan. I don't want to talk to you. Take a hike, please." Mandy growled and rolled her eyes at Nathan. She wiggled away from him, with her back still turned. She really wanted to ask him about his little friend who he went to meet this afternoon, but she was afraid that he was dealing with other women because of business. She was afraid that she would misunderstand him, and

she did not want him to know what was on her mind. So, she suppressed her anger and kept her mouth shut.

However, her negative emotions and feelings covered her heart with dark clouds that did not seem to dissipate.

With that thought, she blinked her eyes against the darkness. It was already autumn and a little cold. She wrapped herself in the quilt, hoping that the depressed feeling would go away.

"Honey, can you please just tell me what I did wrong?" Nathan asked with a tinge of exhaustion in his voice. He was more than willing to explain if Mandy asked directly. The way she was acting now made him very uncomfortable.

"Oh, you did nothing wrong. It's just some Chanel No. 5 on your clothes. What could possibly be wrong with that?" A mocking grimace spread across Mandy's beautiful face. She looked like an angry hedgehog.

"Are you jealous?"

"Oh, please. I'm not that bored. Why would I be jealous? You work so hard. You have every right to meet whoever you like. Besides, we agreed before that if you have an illicit love affair with another woman, we will get a divorce." What Mandy said was a halfhearted warning. Her soft voice suddenly sounded savage and heartless.

She had meant every word as if to remind Nathan that if he dared do something bad, she would not think twice to divorce him.

"Can you not mention 'divorce' so frequently? I really don't like hearing that word," Nathan mumbled gravely. His face was gloomy, but he did not dare scold Mandy.

After all, Mandy was his wife, the love of his life.

"I really don't give a damn if you don't like hearing it, Nathan. I'm going to sleep. Don't disturb me," Mandy said unhappily, wrapping herself in the quilt once again and turning her back on Nathan.

Negative energy seemed to be slowly spreading in the air, and Nathan sensed it, however faintly. He got a little sulky. "Mandy, why are you getting angry without telling me the reason? What do you take me for? And do you even trust me from the bottom of your heart?"

Nathan bombarded her with questions. It would be better if he did not push it. Maybe she would still be there when he woke up the next morning. The next moment, Mandy could not contain her emotions and feelings anymore. She thought she had to make herself clear.

Mandy got out of bed all of a sudden. She stretched out her arm and fumbled on the wall. She turned on the light.

The sudden dazzling light made them unable to open their eyes wide. Mandy sat cross legged on the bed like an angry female lion and stared at Nathan with way more intensity than necessary.

"Yes, I do trust you. Deep in my heart, I want to be a sensible and loving wife. I had sent you a message today, but you didn't reply to me. I thought you were really busy. I didn't expect that you were really busy with another woman," Mandy said with a bitter smirk.

"I don't understand. What do you mean by saying such things? I really went to meet a friend today," Nathan retorted. At the moment, he felt like Mandy had become a little bit unreasonable.

"Okay. Then I ask you, is your friend a man or a woman?" Mandy asked.

"She's a woman, but we're just friends. She flew from Switzerland to City A. I had to go and pick her up from the airport. It's my job."

"Why should you be the one to pick her up? Doesn't she have any friends in City A?" Mandy sneered. She looked Nathan up and down.
