Chapter 63

No longer could Caroline stand the atmosphere in the VIP room. If anything, she only felt humiliated to have come looking for Nathan that very night.

“Mr. Faraday, I guess I won’t be needing the keys anymore. I’m not going back to Penningcoll Residence tonight” After saying that, Caroline turned around and left.

Right at that moment, a familiar voice sounded. “Carol What brings you here?”

It was Jacobs, Caroline did not expect him to be there.

Jacob came over and put his hand on the former’s shoulder. “My friends have invited me over for a round of card games, so I stopped by to play. I didn’t expect to run into you here, though Come. I’ll bring you over there to join in on the fun. I’ll drive you home later. Atter saying that, he greeted Nathan Uncle Nathan, I’ll bring Carol to play over there With that, Jacob led Caroline to another table. Upon seeing Jacob’s arrival, everyone gathered around him. Mr. Faraday, 1 haven’t seen you join us here recently. Eh, who might this be?”

Jacob wrapped his arms around Caroline’s shoulders and introduced graciously, “I’ve been busy dating lately, so I couldn’t spare any time to play with you all. This is my girlfriend, Caroline Sullivan.

“Oh! So. Ms. Sullivan is your girlfriend, huh? No wonder she was talking to your uncle just now”

Another person chimed in, Ms. Sullivan, what would you like to drink? Would you fancy a cocktail? I’ll gladly mix you one.”

“Go away, all of you.” Jacob drove those obsequious people away. “Carol’s still young. She doesnt drink. Ger her a cup of hot milk instead The waiter hurriedly served a bottle of hot milk, and Jacob inserted a drinking straw into the bottle before handing it to Caroline.

Caroline simply kept her lips buttoned the whole time.

She had not the slightest intention of sticking around that place, much less drinking the milk. However, she could sense that Nathan had his gaze fixed on her. Because of that, she thought that it would be safer for her to stay by Jacob’s side.

“Thank you.”

“Come on, Mr. Faraday. Let’s play card games. Surely, your girlfriend wouldn’t mind sitting with you and watching us play”

Over at the other table, Samuel looked right at the couple sitting opposite them and became perplexed.

“What’s going on. Nathan? Didn’t you make her yours already?”

To be honest, not only did he do nothing of that sort, but he was even given a tight slap וה Nathan could still feel the pain on his cheek. As tiny and soft as Caroline’s hand might seem, it surprised him when she thung her palm across his face with that much strength.

After Nathan was done with the cigarette in his hand, he reached out to grab another one, only to find that the cigarette packet was already empty. He casually handed a stack of cash to the woman beside him and ordered, “Go buy me a packet of cigarettes.

The woman’s eyes lit up the instant she saw that handsome amount of money. In her eyes. Nathan was indeed a generous man who was always willing to spend money.

Considering that he could part with so much money solely to get himself a pack of cigarettes, she wondered how much fortune she could rack up should she throw herself at that inan.

Grinning from ear to ear, the woman went out to do Nathan’s bidding.

“It should be an easy feat for you, Nathan, to get ahold of that ugly woman. Don’t all girls have a thing for businessmen? commented Logan.

11 “Not really. What if she prefers a rich man like Mr. Jacob Faraday who also enjoys going on a date?”

Samuel gave his views while looking at Nathan. A businessman like Nathan must have no time to date her. At most, he’ll only fit in with the role of a sugar daddy. Some girls just don’t like that stuff.

Logan put forward another question. “Girls have so much drama nowadays. Can’t you just settle things with money?

“They’ll only think of it as an insult. They’d rather work for the money themselves than accept yours Asense of relief inundated Logan, for his girlfriend would be pleased as long as he spent money on her.

From his perspective, his girlfriend was adorable that way.

Nathan paid the duo no attention. He looked up at Caroline, who was sitting obediently beside Jacob and accompanying hmm throughout the game. Being in a similar age group, Jacob and Caroline truly looked good together. Even the sweet scent of love could be sensed in the air around them, so to speak.

At that time. Caroline was slowly sipping on the milk through the straw. Her long black hair scattered over her back and hung loosely over her feeble shoulders. Given that she was wearing short sleeves, her fair arms were exposed just like that. making her look even more innocent.

Such was an appearance that would surely flutter the hearts of many.

Nathan then took out his phone and found Shirley’s number.

Shirley, for one, had been a nervous wreck for the past few days to the extent that she had dialed his number a gazillion Times Regardless, a brief message was all Nathan had to offer. [Come over and stay with me tonight.]
