Chapter 771:
His grandson was the perfect package in every way, except for one tiny yet irritating flawâteasing him at every turn!
Noticing the tension, Cullen stepped in smoothly, giving Nathaniel a way out.
âJust now, your son and his wife mentioned they wouldnât be back for dinner tonight.â
Nathaniel smiled in gratitude at Cullenâs timely intervention and then straightened up, his dignified composure returning.
âVery well. Let the kitchen know not to prepare their meals.â
Cullen nodded and pretended to make a phone call.
Fully aware of how much Nathaniel prized his dignity, Harlee extended him a graceful way out, all while subtly ensuring Rhys wouldnât embarrass Nathaniel.
âRee, Iâm craving your shrimp dish.â
Rhys gently ruffled her hair in response.
âIâll head to the kitchen and make some for you.â
Rhys turned to Nathaniel and asked, âGrandpa, would you like me to make some for you as well?â
Nathaniel initially planned to refuse despite his craving, wanting to preserve his pride.
But knowing his grandson, he realized a refusal would only be taken literally, soâ¦
Noticing the nuisance in Nathanielâs expression, Harlee smiled knowingly.
âRee, please make some more. Iâm sure your grandpa would love to taste your cooking.â
Nathaniel huffed playfully, âLike I really want a taste of the dish.â But a second later, his tone softened as he eagerly added, âNo chili, though!â

Rhys nodded.
âIâll make it to your taste.â
Nathaniel let out a hearty laugh, satisfied.
With Rhys busy in the kitchen, Cullen knew better than to overstay his welcome in the study. That left only Harlee and Nathaniel in the room.
âHarlee, do you know Nicola?â Nathaniel asked.
Harlee took a slow sip of her coffee, her gaze thoughtful.
âNot really. I just know we look alike.â
Truth be told, Harlee wasnât entirely sure how similar they actually were. Still, she remembered her first encounter with Nathaniel and casually mentioned it.
Nathaniel sighed, âItâs not just the looks. Your temperaments match perfectly.
But you have more personas than Nicola. You are the head of Janessa Studio, a national engineer, a top-ranked hacker, the leader of the Shadow Moon Society, and the true founder of the rising Shadow Moon Studio.â
On the other hand, Nicola only had four personas back in the day.â
Harlee raised an eyebrow, caught off guard.
Given Nathanielâs current position, he shouldnât have known about her various identities. Yet, here he was, listing them all with unsettling precision.
But what really stunned her was the mention of Nicolaâs identities.
