Chapter 1806 Come With Me
A few minutes later, Nathaniel got up. He changed out of his pajamas and went downstairs.
He had prepared breakfast, and it was served on the dining table. When I headed downstairs, he was nowhere to be seen.
I didn’t feel like eating. Besides, after what I went through last night, I wasn’t planning on eating everything that Nathaniel offered me.
I went upstairs with the plan of exploring the other two rooms. Alas, I had underestimated Nathaniel’s vigilance, for both rooms were locked. I couldn’t even get in.
After searching around, I didn’t find anything to break the lock and slumped in disappointment.
I was about to call for help before recalling that my phone and bag were left behind in Rebecca’s house. There was nothing for me to contact the outside world in this house.
Left with no choice, I ran outside and prayed fervently that the reason I didn’t see any houses nearby was that the lighting was bad last night. Today, I finally got an unobstructed view of the hilltop. Nathaniel’s house was the only house here, and there were no other houses nearby. He was literally living in seclusion.
Stumped, my only alternative was to return and get some rest. After staying up yesterday and this morning, I was exhausted. Not long after I returned to the bed, I fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, it was already nighttime. The bedroom was dark, but the living room in the suite was brightly lit.
A set of clothes was placed at the end of the bed. Everything inside out was included. I assumed Nathaniel had prepared an outfit for me to change into.
I got up and walked toward the living room slowly. Nathaniel was sitting on the sofa, his gaze fixated on the computer.
I discarded my slippers and stepped onto the soft carpet as I made my way to his back.
Once I reached the sofa, I leaned forward and saw a WhatsApp message mentioning something about a deal location.
It looked like Nathaniel was dealing with his goods. If I wasn’t mistaken, everything about the deal was in that conversation.
To be more specific, they were on this computer.
