Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 68

Seeing that she didn't want to tell him, Nathan didn't force her to. Anyway, he knew everything already, just not from her.

"How about we go downstairs for dinner first?" Nathan paused. He tried to ask Mandy's opinion. He knew she hadn't eaten for a day, so she must be very hungry now.

"Okay." Mandy raised her head, neither humbly nor forcefully.

In the living room, Lillian had already prepared a table of delicious food. Seeing that Nathan and Mandy came downstairs, Lillian seemed a little reserved and stood quietly aside.

"President Jin, Miss Zhou, dinner is ready," Lillian explained with a smile of satisfaction.

"Lillian, you can go back to your room and rest until we need you again," Nathan plainly replied. He wanted to make sure Mandy did not feel restrained, so he asked Lillian to leave.

Lillian was also glad to hear she could leave. She didn't want to get involved in any matter between these two. She was afraid she wouldn't know what to do if they quarreled again.

"Yes, Master." Lillian straightened her back and left.

The large dining room was left with just Nathan and Mandy. The villa was quiet before, but now the atmosphere became extra still and awkward.

Mandy continued to eat in silence. She thought the food cooked by Lillian was delicious. It tasted like home-cooked comfort food. Lillian didn't know how to cook any Western food, so she just cooked some simple, easy food to get by.

"Hem, Lillian's food is good. I'm pleasantly surprised." She put a piece of Braised Pork with Brown Sauce into her mouth as she giggled.

"Can't you eat properly, Mandy?" Nathan asked. Nathan looked at Mandy's eating style in disgust. He always ate very refinedly and dignified, just in case anyone was watching. He had to act his class.

"Don't worry so much. I won't eat this way when I or we go out for dinner." Mandy waved her hand, freely and easily. She was starving, so she devoured the food in such a terrible manner, which was quite rare for her.

"You have such a clear estimation of yourself. Are you afraid of embarrassing me?" Nathan asked, laughing.

"You won't take me out to meet your friends, so why should I feel ashamed?" Mandy replied in a lisp. Then she put another shrimp into her mouth and chewed it quickly with her mouth open.

"How do you know I wouldn't? I just... I don't have many friends." Nathan gave a self-deprecating smile. There was a tinge of sadness in his cold manner.

Nathan had a lot of acquaintances since he was a child. Nonetheless, his only true friend was Simon. Everyone else always wanted something from him but not himself. If he were not Nathan, they would never have gotten to know him. Thus, he realized early on that most people just used a person rather than wanting to have a real friendship.

Hearing what he said, Mandy paused. She looked at Nathan's careless eyes as she smiled, "Me too! What a coincidence!"

"That is because you have a bad character." Nathan said sarcastically, his haughty eyes staring at her pink face.

Mandy was still eating her dinner quite happily. Suddenly, she said, "Nathan, even if this relationship doesn't work out, let's still be friends in the future."

Upon hearing this, Nathan became upset. He looked at her for a moment and lifted his cold eyes. "I don't care. What kind of friend, anyway? Do you want to put me on the bench?"

Mandy snorted, replying, "Ha-ha, do you think I am that bad?"

Nathan kept silent.
