"This is the daughter of the Zhou Group. Their company may not be as good as our family's company,
but their daughter is extremely beautiful. Moreover, a new yeast technology of their family has obtained
an international patent. If you end up marrying her, it will benefit you immensely in the future," Alex said
enthusiastically. Alex had already found out that the daughter of the Zhou Group had recently returned
from abroad. He had made up his mind that she was a perfect match for his son.
"What do you mean, Dad?" Justin asked with confusion written all over his face.
"Don't you like her?" Alex questioned with his earlier enthusiasm fading. He had believed that this girl's
picture had made a good impression on his son. But seeing his reluctance made him doubtful.
"I do agree that she is pretty. From the outside, she looks just like my type. Yet I can't say for certain if
she is the love of my life. There are several things to consider before knowing that," he replied to his
father, looking genuine. Justin was a responsible man. He would not easily fall in love with someone he
hadn't had the chance to know.
"My son, I wasn't aware that you are a romantic eccentric. But I have to remember that sometimes
killing two birds with one stone is a wise choice. This is one of those chances. You should make a good
plan for your future." After saying this, Alex smiled and sighed as his peculiar eyes fell on his son.
"I know, Dad," Justin agreed while nodding his head.
"Starbucks, Crystal Street, Eaton Square. You have to invite her over there for dinner after work
tomorrow evening. Don't forget, my son! I wish you good luck," Alex said.
Justin had no choice, so he nodded his head once again. At the moment, he peeped into his father's
phone, hoping to get another glimpse of this girl. Seeing her, he slowly began to look forward to
meeting her. There was something intoxicating about her.
As the sun set, the summer evening glow began to look particularly beautiful. The whole sky was dyed
light orange. Mandy walked out of the hospital, feeling elated.
Mandy drove to Nathan's villa at ease. She was still longing for a wonderful future life.
Nr. 520, Haibin Road
When Mandy arrived, she caught sight of Nathan eagerly waiting for her.
When Nathan spotted her entry, he pulled her into his arms. They had not seen each other for a day, so
he missed her dearly.
"You're finally back!" Nathan rested his chin on Mandy's head. He could not help but feel a slight throb
in his heart, triggered by the pleasant scent coming from her hair. If it was possible, he would have
glued her to him for the rest of his life.
"Yes, I am," Mandy whispered as she leaned against Nathan's chest, letting him hold her tightly. The
hug gave her a sense of security.
"Did you miss me?" Nathan asked as he put his hand on her face and kissed her soft lips. He sucked
her mouth and enjoyed her beauty.
"I… Hmm," Before Mandy got the last word out, Nathan had covered her mouth with his. At that
moment, all the words she wanted to say were swallowed up by the happiness between them.
Humming a song, Lillian came out to find her apron. But just when she was about to do it, she was
shocked by the scene in front of her.
"Stop, stop! Lillian is here," Mandy said shyly as she pushed Nathan away.
However, Nathan didn't seem to care about it at all. He laughed wickedly and said, "This is my house.
Just ignore her."
"Yes, please ignore me. I don't want to interrupt you from what you were doing.." Lillian stammered
before she rushed back into the kitchen.
Mandy was so embarrassed that her face turned crimson red. She pouted and said, "Can we stop
acting like this in the future? I'm so embarrassed now that Lillian has seen me like this."
"What does it matter? You know, Lillian has been married before. I am pretty sure she has done it too,"
Nathan reasoned with a naughty smile.
Mandy realized it wouldn't be easy to convince Nathan, so she walked towards the living room, hung
up her bag on the clothes tree, and sat down uneasily.
There was something that she wanted to talk about with Nathan tonight. She didn't think it would be
right to put it off.
Nathan laughed and followed her. A weird smile appeared on his cold face when he saw that Mandy
was suddenly full of thoughts.
"What? Do you have something to tell me?" Nathan asked. Squinting his eyes, he sat down in front of
Mandy.
Mandy nodded her head. Nervously, she looked here and there, trying to make sure they were alone.
Somehow her actions made Nathan very uncomfortable.
"Just tell me," Nathan ordered coldly. 'From what I know, she is a girl with a carefree personality. Why is
she dawdling now? What's wrong with her tonight? Did she do something wrong? Did she date another
man behind my back?'
Nathan thought inwardly. All sorts of negative thoughts began to invade his mind.
"I have something important to tell you, but you have to promise me that you won't be angry with me
after you hear it," Mandy said and looked at him. On closer inspection, Nathan noticed that a sense of
sadness had crept into her beautiful eyes. She couldn't figure out what kind of person Nathan was, but
she was sure that he would be furious after hearing this.
Mandy had thought about keeping it a secret. But when she realized the consequences she would
have to face if he ever came to know about it, she decided to blurt it out.
"I can't promise anything. Just come clean and tell me," Nathan said. He slowly smiled and leisurely
leaned against the back of the chair, wondering what tricks this woman was going to play.
"No, I won't. If you won't promise, I can't tell you about it," Mandy firmly replied.
"Okay! I promise you," he said, realizing there was no other way to get it out of her. Nathan was short-
tempered and always had a tough time keeping his anger in check. But at the moment, his curiosity
had gotten the best of him. Anyhow, he wanted to know what she had to say.
"Last week I went home, and my mother asked me to go on a blind date. I didn't want to go, but she
forced me to..." Mandy bit her lips and looked at Nathan innocently. Seeing his face darken little by
little, she dared not say anything more.
"A blind date? Wonderful! Why not?" Nathan spoke with his tongue in his cheek. It took him a lot of
effort to suppress his anger.
At this moment, if Mandy said that she wanted to go on a blind date, she was risking her life!
"Never! I won't go!" Mandy swore as she gritted her teeth. If she had to choose between betraying her
mother or Nathan, she would choose the former. Truth be told, she was a little terrified of him. It was
just too much for her!
"Why not? Maybe you'll end up marrying a rich man after abandoning me," Nathan said sarcastically.
He raised his thin lips, and the smile on his face deepened.
The atmosphere around them became depressed. It was this dangerous smile on his face that made
Mandy's heart beat faster and faster. She was crying silently in her heart. Now she regretted telling him
about it.
"Please don't speak to me in this manner. I am not going!" Mandy promised with a desperate look.
"If you are unwilling to go on a blind date, then why are you talking about it? What is the point of talking
about something you aren't going to do? No, Mandy, something tells me you are interested in this blind
date! You are here only because you are afraid I will find out about it. Hence, you decided to inform me
beforehand. I am sure you believe your confession will make me act leniently towards you. You are
quite a smart girl, Mandy!" After giving this lengthy speech, Nathan glared at her with his ferocious
eyes. At that moment, he had managed to read her mind.
