Nathan couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy towards Felix, but had to admit that the guy had some serious chops.
Especially when it came to negotiations - he had a presence that could go toe-to-toe with President Miller himself.
He remembered the time Felix was gambling like his life depended on it. Back then, it was to pay for Listina's medical bills. Felix tried everything under the sun, and somehow, he always managed to come out on top.
Now, overseeing the vast empire of the Miller Group, Felix was still in his element. Despite the workload, he had everything running like a well-oiled machine.
At the thought of this, Nathan's spirits fell a notch. Carol didn't just fancy Felix for no reason. Unlike himself, who was fairly competent, but that was just among regular Joes.
"Nathan, if Carol ever asks you something, don’t spill the beans, okay?"
Nathan was puzzled. What would Carol ask him about?
"I'm gonna come by later and pack up the gifts I gave Fiona. I'll get her something better."
Nathan had suspected those gifts were from Carol. Now Carol was here and Felix was coming over tonight?
A wave of guilt washed over him, "What time you think you'll swing by?"
"Around midnight. Got meetings till then."
Nathan breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, I'll box up the stuff. You planning on returning them to Ms. Miller? No offense, but I think it's good that you're keeping it strictly business with her. Felix, Listina's been waiting for you. Don't let her down; otherwise, your folks would be disappointed."
When Felix's mom had taken that tragic leap, she'd made Felix promise to take care of Listina, to make her happy. It was like the Brown family owed a debt to the Geo family.
Felix was paying off that debt, and he did it without any regrets because he cared for Listina. He'd always thought they'd end up married. But now, Nathan's words stung, as if Felix's feelings had shifted.
Nathan probed further, "The wedding in two weeks, you really going through with it? What if Listina does something rash? Felix, you don't love Carol. Maybe it's just because she was your first, and you've mistaken that for love. Anyway, you better think it over. You've known Listina for years, but Carol? Just a short while."

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
