Ignorant
Zach and Kirsi hurriedly left the venue.Some of the guests present were acquainted with Tina.They all
looked at Tina weirdly.
Everyone was aware of the Gilberts’ situation.
Usually, marriage is : over once a man starts to defend his mistress in public.It was truly pathetic.
Shane was not bothered about Tina’s situation.He subconsciously looked up at Nicole.
Since Kirsi left, was his mission over? Tina stood there and felt the coldness from all directions.She
stared blankly in the direction where Zach and Kirsi left, and her desire to get revenge instantly
disappeared.
All that was left was frustration.Tina always thought that Zach was only putting on a show due to his
indifference and greed.
As long as he was not sincere to other women, Tina was just watching a good show.However, Tina
understood Zach well.
That was how Zach protected Tina back then.Now, he protected Kirsi the same way.This scene was
truly an eyesore.It was as if all her warnings had hit her in the face.
No matter how shameless that mistress was, she had won over that man.
Tina took a deep breath and walked to the door in a daze.
When Nicole went downstairs, she only saw Shane.Shane walked over quickly.
"Madam..." Nicole nodded and looked at him with a smile.
"You did well." Shane acted as a prop, which did not require any acting skills.
Thus, she could not be too critical of him.
When the event was over, Nicole left slightly earlier with Shane.Someone stopped them at the
entrance.
"Ms.Stanton, Mr.Youngblood just said that there’s another banquet.Please stay back and join him."
"Mr.Youngblood?"
Nicole snorted lightly and thought, ‘Will Luke Youngblood dare to ask a waiter to convey his message
like this?’
Just as she was about to say something, the weird feeling in her heart re-emerged.She looked at the
unfamiliar waiter in front of her and raised her eyebrows.
"Okay." She smiled.
Nicole was very reluctant to link this to what happened last night.However, since there were so many
strange things, it was hard to say whether all this was created by the same person.
Since the other party was willing to show their face, she wanted to know who it was! Nicole glanced at
Luca, who immediately understood became vigilant.
Nicole stretched out her hand, and Shane immediately walked over and stretched out his arm.
Nicole gently held his arm and returned to the exhibition again.She glanced around and saw that
everyone left one by one.
Luke was also out of sight.She paused.
The waiter pointed to the side hall.
"Ms.Stanton, this way please."
In an instant, Nicole could feel Shane’s stiffness and alertness.She smiled expressionlessly and walked
over.
The side hall was relatively quiet, and the dim light made it a bit mysterious.
A familiar person sat there in the corner.
When he saw Nicole, he waved happily.
"Nikki! "
Nicole was dumbfounded and walked over.
"Nathaniel?"
Nathaniel happily stood up and hugged her.
"Nikki, did you miss me?"
Nicole speechlessly pushed Nathaniel away, looked at his tanned skin, and was stunned for a moment.
Speaking of which, Nicole had not seen him for a while.
Nathaniel was either participating in shows or going out on an adventure.He spent very few days in
Atlanta.But why did he suddenly come back? Shane was very alert at first, but he noticed that Nicole
seemed to know the man.
Thus, he wondered whether he should go up and stop him.
Nicole laughed.
"No, I didn’t miss you.Why are you back?"
She still remembered that Nathaniel had a fallout with Livia before he left.
Livia got back together with Keith.
Nathaniel was still the same, like a manchild who would never grow up.
Nathaniel smiled frankly.
"I came back for a few days and paid respects to my great- grandfather in the meantime.By the way, let
me introduce you to a friend..."
He pointed to the person sitting on the opposite sofa.It was a woman that Nicole had never seen
before.
The woman stood up with a smile, looking very honest and demure.
She wore a pink puff-sleeved dress that made her look very innocent.She looked at Nicole and smiled.
"Hello, Ms.Stanton.My name is Yasmin."
No one would refuse such a sweet and innocent smile that held some kind of magic.It was just the right
arc that made one feel comfortable around her.
Nicole immediately responded with a smile.
"Hello, my name is Nicole."
The woman should be about the same age as Nicole.She had clear and pure eyes.She looked like an
ignorant college student who just left the campus.
Nathaniel smiled excitedly and said, "I thought you looked familiar just now.I didn’t expect you to be
here too! Yasmin and I came late.Why don’t we have dinner together?"
Nicole paused and glanced at him.
"How do you know that I know Luke?"
Nathaniel was stunned.
"Luke? Who’s Luke?"
Nicole’s face sank.
Shane’s eyes also became cautious.
Yasmin shook her head in confusion.
"We don’t know Luke..."
Nicole took a deep breath.
"Didn’t you guys ask me to come?"
Nathaniel shook his head.
"No, we've been here the whole time and plan to sit for a while before leaving."
Nicole’s heart sank a little.She looked at Luca behind her.
"Search for the waiter just now..."
"Yes, Miss."
Nathaniel saw her and refused to let her go.
"Nikki, this is my friend’s first time here, so she’s not familiar with Atlanta.Eat with us before you leave!"
He winked at Nicole desperately.
Nicole frowned.
"Sure"
Yasmin blushed and looked up at Nathaniel from time to time like she had a crush on him.
Nicole smiled and did not expose it.
Shane also sat down.
Before Nicole could introduce Shane, Nathaniel recognized him.
"Shane Libb? Why don’t you film anymore? Your image is very suitable for acting as a tough guy!"
Shane paused.
"Oh, I just don’t want to."
Nathaniel did not mind Shane’s indifference.He heard from other people in the circle that Shane had a
weird temper.
Nathaniel looked at Nicole with a meaningful smile.
"Nikki, you got another man? What about Clayton? Does he know about this?"
Nicole rolled her eyes at him.
"What does it have to do with you?"
Nathaniel smiled.
"I’m just asking.It’s not my second uncle anyway!"
Nicole rolled her eyes, looked at Yasmin, and smiled.
"Are you two dating?"
She changed the subject because she did not want Nathaniel to pry into her private life.
Yasmin was stunned for a moment, then shook her head embarrassedly, pure and pitiful.
"No."
Nathaniel coughed awkwardly.
"Not yet."
He looked at Nicole and winked, signaling for her to be more mindful of her words.
Nicole snorted coldly.
Halfway through the meal, Luca still did not return.
However, Yasmin went out to use the bathroom.
Nathaniel thoughtfully asked the waiter to lead the way for Yasmin.
Nicole looked like she was watching a good show.
"Why don’t you just follow along?"
Nathaniel clicked his tongue, sat back, and moved his neck.
"Don't scare my friend, she’s so pure and ignorant of the world.I’m currently pursuing her, but she’s still
watching me reservedly! "
