Nathan immediately withdrew his gaze and shook his head, "Nope."
Instead, she had questions she wanted to ask him.
She said, "Doesn't Grace live with you."
Nathan was puzzled before he said, "Grace went to Riverside City for treatment."
Jane Yi responded, "Did your parents take her there."
Nathan felt that she should have misunderstood something, he explained, "Grace and I are not related by blood, she is ...... this matter is actually a bit complicated to say, I happened to be on vacation some time ago and was responsible for taking care of her."
Jane Yi also did not expect such an answer, she said dryly, "I thought ......"
Last time when Grace was lost, Nathan gave her the first impression of an irresponsible brother, where she thought she was the one who misunderstood.
Nathan probably saw what she was thinking and smiled, "I do have a responsibility for not looking after her."
"That's not the way to say it, you're not related by blood and it's good enough to come running to her immediately when you get a call from me."
After that, the topic was simple and casual, the two people were like friends, simply talking about the day, and did not go too deep into personal privacy, point to point.
After dinner, Nathan just came out of the kitchen, Jane Yi took her things: "It's late, I'll go first, thanks for dinner today."
Nathan said, "How do you get back."
Jane Yi looked at her phone, "I'll just take the subway."
After the words, she said hello to Pupu again, opened the door and left.
Nathan stood still and raised his hand to rub the back of his neck.
A few seconds later, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and went into the kitchen.
Outside the door, Jane Yi watched the elevator doors open and was about to enter when she saw Nathan walk out.
Nathan said, "I'm going to take out the trash."
The two stood side by side in the elevator, and the atmosphere seemed awkward compared to the dinner time.
