Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 69 Other Woman

"Can you see it? That was the scar from the surgery I had," Mandy gave a light laugh, but there was a heaviness in her heart.

Seeing her sadness, Nathan didn't want to do anything else except to hug her and hold her close.

"Mand, I will never let you get hurt again," he murmured, looking deeply into Mandy's eyes. There was a solemn look on his face, which was so different from before.

Sighing, Mandy was deeply moved by Nathan's words. For that particular moment, she believed in his promise.

Nathan acted like a real gentleman. With utter gentleness, he helped Mandy get out of the bath after she had washed up. Although they didn't talk much, they seemed to have some connection between them in an instant, and there was a tacit understanding that wasn't there before.

After the bath, Nathan gently patted Mandy's body dry and helped her put on the bathrobe. Mandy was so shy that she didn't even dare to raise her head.

Carefully, Nathan escorted Mandy to sit in front of the dresser. Bending down, he took out a hairdryer from the drawer of the dressing table. The warm light coming from the hairdryer shone on his hand. Nathan's hair was still quite wet, but he didn't care about himself at the moment. What was important for him right now was to get Mandy dried off so that she wouldn't get sick.

Mandy had sleek, black locks. Looking at the mirror, she saw how Nathan gently stoked her hair. It was as if he looked like a gentle and loving husband.

Suddenly, this particular scene reminded Mandy of a memory she had. During the first night she came here, she remembered that Nathan was doing the same exact thing for another woman.

Details of that memory came, flooding to her senses and clouded her thoughts. She even distinctly pictured how Nathan and that woman had shared a kiss in that room.

The more she thought about this, the more Mandy felt short of breath.

"I can dry my hair on my own," Mandy said. Although she had said this in a quiet tone, Nathan could tell from her knitted eyebrows that she was unhappy.

"No. Don't move," he squinted his dark eyes and said lightly.

"I can do it on my own. I'm not a kid anymore," Mandy said, trying to take the hair dryer from Nathan's hand. Jealousy filled her heart.

Mandy didn't like it when she knew Nathan treated other women in the same gentle way. There was an uneasy feeling in her stomach, knowing that Nathan was doing something to her that he had already done with another girl.

"What is your problem, Mandy?" Nathan stretched out his arm, taking the hair dryer out of Mandy's reach.

"It is nothing. Just go dry yourself up first. You're the CEO of your company. You can't afford to get sick," Mandy reasoned out calmly, but she was very unhappy in her heart.

If Nathan had a cold, his lovers would have rushed out by the night.

"I'm not as weak as you are," he countered, but the calmness in his eyes wavered the slightest bit. If Mandy caught a cold, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself.

"I'm not as weak as you think," Mandy tried to argue with Nathan. She looked straight at Nathan's reflection in the mirror.

"Don't talk nonsense. Just sit here and be a good girl," Nathan said in a commanding tone as he put his hand on Mandy's shoulder.

"No way," Mandy said firmly. At this point, the jealousy in her heart just continued to grow. She couldn't take her mind off the fact that Nathan had performed the same affectionate actions towards a different woman.

"Don't try to challenge me, Mandy." Seeing that Mandy didn't want to listen to him, Nathan frowned. He didn't like women being disobedient.

Sitting there coldly, Mandy said angrily, "I don't want you to help me dry my hair as you did with that other woman from before."

Nathan paused for a moment, but then he continued with a smile, "So you are annoyed by her."

"I am not." As soon as her words came out, Mandy knew she was betrayed by her jealous tone.

"Mandy Zhou, watch your behavior, okay? You're my woman, but you are not my only woman. Some things are not of your concern." His lips were pressed into a fine line, and there was a cold contempt on his handsome face.

That night, Eve came back to look for him because she just came back from Europe on holiday. She wanted to give him a surprise. And here was his secret base. Whenever he was in a bad mood, he liked to come to this villa alone. Eve had followed him here once, knowing that he would be here.

The Su Family and the Jin Family were old family friends. For the sake of his parents, and the interests of the Su Group's bank, Nathan indulged Eve very much, but he had never slept with her. His first woman was Mandy.

Mandy held her bathrobe closer to her body. Why was Nathan allowed to have sex with other women? And yet she did not even have the right to be jealous. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

For a long time, Mandy said nothing further, and she just sat there as she lightly bit on her soft lips.

She was thinking about her identity, her position, and her image in Nathan's mind. If she insisted on everything, she would only get hurt in the end. One month was not long, but neither was it short.

Mandy forced herself not to think about Nathan. They wouldn't owe each other a thing after the month passed. Besides, she still had to go on a blind date a few days later.

Although Mandy wasn't at all hopeful on her blind date, she actually wanted to meet that man. Why should she stay here and suffer under Nathan's hand?

The humming sound of the hair dryer was whirring beside her ear. Although the air was fairly warm, Mandy felt cold inside her heart as the wind blew on her.

Mandy felt so sad that she couldn't close her eyes that night. It was as if she would be pushed into the dark abyss as soon as she closed her eyes.

Deep in the night, she could hear Nathan's steady, rhythmic breathing. For the first time in a long a time, Mandy felt that Nathan was actually there.

He was the last person she saw every night before she went to bed. And the first person she saw every morning when she woke up. But their relationship was not right. He just took what he wanted from her and treated her like trash.

The sunlight came in through the gap of the thick curtain. When Mandy woke up, she looked subconsciously at the other side of the bed. Surprisingly, Nathan was still there.

The sight of him made Mandy a bit happy.

Mandy took out her cellphone to look at the time. It was still quite early in the morning. Setting aside her phone, she laid her head on the pillow to get some more sleep. But when she closed her eyes, her body and mind felt as if they were already wide awake.

With a quiet sigh, Mandy turned on her side and stared blankly at the man beside her. His skin was very smooth and clear, and there was not a single mark on his face. His jaw was taut and angular, and sharp eyes were framed with dark, thick brows. Sleeping like this, he looked so peaceful, although he had said something that made Mandy uneasy.
