Chapter 259

The stalker was caught by the person that he was stalking. What could he do next?

He froze like a deer in headlights, and beads of sweat gathered on his forehead.

After a few suffocating seconds of indecision, Corbin made up his mind to play the offensive before

Nana could ask him anything.

“Nana, what a coincidence! I didn’t think I’d see you at this hotel. What are you doing here?” Corbin

asked, widening his eyes in a mixture of feigned confusion and surprise. There was a light smile at the

corner of his lips, as if he was pleased to run into Nana here.

Thanks to his excellent acting skills, he successfully deceived Nana and saved himself from hot water.

“I’m staying here with the children for a few days,” Nana replied curtly. There was no hint of suspicion in

her voice.

“Children? Well, why are you all staying in a hotel?” Corbin raised a questioning eyebrow.

Nana was about to tell him the truth, but changed her mind at the last minute.

The less people who knew about Eliana’s children, the better. Nana didn’t want to air out the truth to

anyone else.

“It’s nothing serious. The guy pursuing my friend finally came to our house. I wanted to give them some

privacy, so I booked a hotel room for me and the children. Anyway, it’ll be like a vacation for us,” Nana

lied casually.

Corbin frowned. Judging by Nana’s candid explanation, it seemed to him that the twins really were her

children.

‘Gerald must have misunderstood the whole thing! Mr. Moran and I were worried about nothing,’ he

thought to himself.

Inwardly heaving a sigh of relief, he nodded and said in a relaxed tone, “I see. Well, have a good time.

I’m leaving now.”

“Wait! What about you? What are you doing here at this hour?”

Nana finally came to her senses and narrowed her eyes. Looking at Corbin carefully, she realized that

he had come to the hotel late at night without any luggage…which could only mean one thing.

“Are you here with a woman?” she continued coolly.

“What are you talking about? Stop imagining things,” Corbin retorted, instinctively denying Nana’s

accusation.

“Then why are you here?” Nana asked, folding her arms over her chest.

“I…”

Corbin’s mouth went dry. Obviously, he couldn’t tell Nana that he was following her, but he hadn’t

thought of an excuse for being here, either.

“I was right, wasn’t I?”

Nana’s voice rose sharply. She didn’t know why, but her temper flared all of a sudden.

Learning that Corbin had come to a hotel in the middle of night to sleep with a woman left a bad taste in

her mouth. She felt deeply displeased for some reason.

While the two of them were arguing, a drunk woman suddenly staggered over, wrapped her arms

around Corbin’s shoulders and clung to him.

“Honey, why are you so late? I have been waiting for you so long. You’re breaking my heart,” she

whined, her words coming out in a slur.

“Who are you? You got the wrong person. Let go of me,” Corbin said gruffly.

He tried to get rid of the woman’s grip, but she continued to clutch on to him, letting her hands

restlessly roam his body.

Nana almost threw up at the disgusting sight. It turned out that Corbin was really such a man. ‘How

could I have been so blind?’ she wondered.

Watching Corbin and the drunk woman stand there entangled, Nana stormed off with her hands

clenched into fists and her eyes burning with fury.

“Nana!”

By the time Corbin finally managed to break away from the drunken woman, Nana had walked far

away. He anxiously ran after her.

But when he arrived at the door of her hotel room, two hotel staff members rushed over and blocked

his way.

“Mr. Bowman has told us that no one is allowed to disturb Miss Marlin and the two children. Please

leave, sir,” one of them explained coldly.

It turned out that this hotel was Jonathan’s territory.

Corbin had investigated Nana before, so he was well aware of who Jonathan was.

It was suddenly crystal clear to him why Nana had chosen to stay in this hotel.

It seemed that Jonathan attached great importance to the mother and children. Otherwise, he wouldn’t

have ordered people to guard them.

‘So I was right. Jonathan must be the children’s biological father,’ Corbin thought. A humorless smile

spread across his face.

They said that the truth could set one free, but at this moment, Corbin didn’t feel relaxed at all.

‘Is Nana going to be Jonathan’s secret lover all her life?’

Nana’s pretty face appeared in Corbin’s mind. All of a sudden, he felt as if a big stone was pressing on

his chest, making it impossible for him to breathe.
