Nathan mentioned Felix's name and glanced cautiously towards Carol's direction to gauge her reaction.
Carol simply arched an eyebrow before taking a sip of her soup.
Fiona, sitting nearby, was still trying to coax her, “Carol, you really should try this, it's delicious and Nathan swears by its beauty benefits.”
Though Nathan was often unremarkable, flirtatious around women, he had been pretty decent to his sister over the years.
Carol took another bite of the slow-cooked peach pork, feeling utterly content. She was even beginning to wish she didn't have to leave.
But just then, her phone buzzed. It was Felix calling. Her brow furrowed in annoyance as she took the phone and pressed the answer button.
“Where are you?”
These days, Felix's most frequent questions were about her whereabouts.
Glancing at the time, Carol realized it was already eight in the evening. On Christmas' Day, she had stayed at Nathan's house this late.
"Out."
"Come home for dinner."
"I've already eaten, Mr. Brown; you can dine alone."
Felix's tone instantly darkened, “Carol, I’ve told you not to make me angry.”
Carol felt a surge of irritation but knew all too well that if Felix got angry, she would be the one to suffer.
“I'll be back soon.”
"Before nine."
Upon hearing those words, she hung up.
Nathan had overheard the conversation and knew she was about to leave, feeling a pang of regret.
Carol stood up, grabbing her bag from the side, “Sorry for intruding today.”
Nathan hurried after her, “Let me drive you.”

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....
