My Past is Just Prologue (Janet and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 120

Read My Past is Just Prologue By Louisa Dillon Chapter 120 – Duplicity

Nathaniel forced the card into Janet’s hand, “You are the one who translated the contract, so the reward should be yours.”

The metal card passed across her tender palm, and Janet was stung. The irritability in her heart piled up inexplicably. She raised her eyes and looked at Nathaniel coldly.

“Nathaniel Webster, Mr. Webster, are you always this inconsiderate?”

Beneath her indifferent appearance, there was a strong annoyance.

Nathaniel’s face darkened slightly.

He just wanted to give her a reward, but in her eyes, he was being inconsiderate?!

Nathaniel was very upset. She was so kind to people. She even helped a stranger. But why was she indifferent and resistant to him?

Alfred observed the situation and smoothed things over with a smile, “Maybe you take half, and Willis take the other half?” Willis also felt that the atmosphere was scary. He understood that Alfred was helping, so he quickly nodded, “Yeah, Miss Longfellow, you have helped me so much. I am not qualified to get paid. You really need to take half of it. Otherwise, I will feel really bad.”

Seeing his expectant eyes, Janet eased a little, “Fine, take the card. We’ll talk about it later.”

Hearing that, Nathaniel was totally triggered.

When he said she should take it, she declined. When someone else said so, they could talk about it later?!

His face was tense, and his eyes were deep and cold. “Janet Longfellow, we were a couple. Do you really have to be this defensive toward me?”

After hearing that, Janet laughed.

She helped him, but he didn’t appreciate her help at all. Instead, he was picking on her and mocking her.

Janet held back her temper and decided to make it clear.

“Nathaniel Webster, the porcelain bowl was a misunderstanding. Sorry that I ruined your cooperation. I helped you translate the contract today. So now we’re even. I don’t owe you anything.”

Hearing the word “even,” Nathaniel became angry for no reason.

There seemed to be a voice in his heart saying that he didn’t want to get even with her, but since they divorced, she just cared about getting even and irrelevant with him.

She was drawing a line with him.
