Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 98 It Was Not An Honorable Thing

Mandy was even more embarrassed. Luke had said it so politely and yet cunningly that she couldn't refuse him even if she wanted to.

"It's late now, and I still have to go to the hospital to deal with something. I'll see you later." Then, Mandy stood up straight. Obviously, Luke already knew what had happened between her and Nathan.

Mandy became a little worried by Luke's response and reaction.

Smiling reassuringly, Luke calmly stood up and said, "I'll see you off then."

"Please just a minute. You can rest here since you are not feeling well." Mandy pretended to be calm. She didn't want to see Luke anymore now. She first met him when she was simple. She had thought that he was a kind man. But now, she realized that he was a wolf in sheep's clothing. No wonder Nathan hated him so much.

Suddenly, Mandy realized she and Nathan stood together on the same issue!

When she returned to the hospital, Mandy kept thinking about what Luke had told her. She was in deep thought when Cassie came in with a medical report, so Mandy didn't seem to notice her. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Mand, what are you thinking about?" Cassie said, smiling and squinting her eyes.

"Oh, nothing. It's just about the dissertation." Looking into Cassie's pure eyes, Mandy felt like she was a sinner because she lied to Cassie. Cassie was one of her best friends at the hospital, but Mandy knew she liked Nathan. Therefore, Mandy couldn't tell Cassie about what had happened between her and Nathan.

Cassie didn't think too deeply about things. She enjoyed a more simple outlook on life. Putting down the medical report, she said with an innocent look on her face, "Mand, how about eating cheese rice cake tonight? There's a new Korean restaurant on Yucai Road. My friend said it tastes pretty good."

After a moment of hesitation, Mandy said, "Cas, I'm really sorry, but I've been very tired recently. How about another day? It will be my treat."

Cassie's beautiful eyes displayed her deep disappointment. She was a very sensitive girl, and she could feel that the relationship between her and Mandy didn't seem as good as before. Recently, she had asked Mandy to hang out many times, but she kept getting rejected with one excuse after another.

"Okay, deal. We'll eat together whenever you finish your work."

"Yes. I'll invite you for dinner after I finish my dissertation in a few days." Mandy forced a smile, which was full of shame and regret. The contract between Nathan and her was about to expire. She was hoping that Nathan would keep his promise.

After work, Mandy waited for Nathan at an intersection in front of the hospital.

Nathan seemed to be in a bad mood. His face was as morose and dull as the weather outside. Sitting in the car, Mandy felt the atmosphere was stifling and depressing. She didn't talk to Nathan. They just kept silent all the way back.

No. 520, Haibin Road

Lillian had set the table with her dishes. Nacy had already left, and Mandy looked at the table of different dishes. When she saw the WeChat messages from Nacy, she was a little saddened. When Nacy was here, she didn't have to face Nathan directly. However, now there were only two of them in the empty villa.

"Well... I have something to tell you," Mandy slowly uttered, blinking her almond-like eyes. Her eyes were filled with hope.

"What is it?" Nathan replied. He sat on the sofa cozily. He waited to hear what Mandy would say to him.

"Your uncle invited me to be his private doctor. He asked me to give him a health check-up at his house twice a week. So I went to his house this afternoon. I didn't want to, but the Dean wanted me to, so I did because of his orders. Then through a conversation with your uncle, I had a feeling that he knew that we were living together. I don't know, but did you..." Mandy was clever. She didn't finish the sentence because Nathan must have known the intention behind it.

"Do you think that I would have told Luke that we are living together?" Nathan snorted disdainfully, and a sneer hung on his handsome face.

"I don't know. That's why I am asking you." Mandy blinked her eyes innocently, avoiding eye contact with him. She was a little regretful about asking the question. She knew clearly that Nathan hated Luke very much. Anyone could tell that their relationship was tense.

"It's not honorable to live with you, so why should I tell others?" Nathan narrowed his eyes. No expression could be seen on his cold face at all. His eyes looked like a deep black hole at the moment, which could swallow people's souls unmercifully.

Hearing Nathan's mean comment, Mandy felt deeply hurt. 'Was it so shameful to be with me? Then, why hasn't he let me go sooner?' thought Mandy to herself.

"Since you feel so shameful to be with me, let me go now. Be free of this stain upon your life." Mandy was furious, but she still tried to restrain her anger. She had said all of this calmly as she had to keep a clear mind when dealing with Nathan.

"You are really good at changing the situation with the current. If you want to leave, you'll have to wait until I am tired of you. Don't count down the days. I tell you, it's useless!" Nathan smiled coldly, with a strange intensity in his dark eyes.

Hearing Nathan's evil reply, Mandy immediately frowned and argued, "How can you say that? You're a hypocrite and a liar! Didn't we make an agreement with each other that I would stay with you at most a month?"

"The deal we made has passed away. I won't let you go now. It depends on my mood, whether I will let you leave. Mandy, this is the new deal. If you don't agree, then you will not be the only one to suffer." The ruthless thin lips of Nathan moved slightly as if the words were light. Yet, in fact, there was a homicidal intention hidden in it. Each word of him made Mandy's heart contract in anger and fear.

Mandy was being threatened by Nathan again. However, just like Nathan, Mandy hated being threatened.

She widened her eyes, which were full of burning anger, and roared at him, "Nathan, except for threatening me, what else can you do, huh?"

Nathan suddenly stood up and pulled Mandy into his arms. There was a touch of softness hidden in his warm hands. He gently stroked Mandy's porcelain face.

Yet, unfortunately, his every touch made Mandy's hair stand on end.

Mandy instinctively resisted his touch. There was a hint of disgust in her eyes. Her reaction was precisely caught by Nathan, but he was not angry. He just smiled lightly.

In this world, perhaps only Mandy hated him so much.
