Chapter 262 Do You Like Me?
The three of them turned around at the same time.
As soon as Janet saw Nathaniel, the smile on her face disappeared.
Nathaniel showed his great figure in a black suit. His legs were long and straight. With a tie, he looked extremely decent and composed.
However, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were as cold as a pool of winter
water.
Ernest and Orville changed their expressions as well. They stared at
Nathaniel in disgust, as if they saw someone annoying.
“What are you doing here?” Janet was propped up in bed casually, looking at
Nathaniel with an indifferent face.
Nathaniel felt extremely unhappy as Janet treated him totally differently from
Ernest and Orville. She had been joking with them.
He held back his displeasure and other feelings, walking to Orville with a
straight face.
As Nathaniel was a little taller than Orville, he looked down at Orville from
above. All of a sudden, he reached out and grabbed the pocket watch in
Orville’s hand.
Orville opened his eyes wide and tried to grab it back.
Nathaniel fiddled with the pocket watch. With the sapphire on the watch shining faintly in his hand, he seemed to be more noble and unrevealing. In addition to the sneer on his face, he looked intimidating.
Although he had a pretty appearance, one wouldn’t have a good impression of him when hearing him speak. “I’m curious about what a beautiful pocket

watch looks like.”
In an instant, Janet wore a sullen look and looked at Nathaniel with a hint of
mockery.
She found it funny since it was the first time she heard Nathaniel praise her
things.
Unlike her, Orville was angry at Nathaniel’s mocking tone. In particular, the
pocket watch was the only gift Janet had given her.
He could no longer remain calm and tried to snatch the watch from
Nathaniel’s hand. However, he failed as the latter raised his hand.
Nathaniel laughed at Orville, “Mr. Southey, what’s wrong? Isn’t it just a pocket
watch? Why are you so anxious? I just want to take a look.”
With a gloomy face, Orville said straightforwardly, “I value it deeply. I can’t
bear to part with it. Are you unsatisfied with it?”
Nathaniel was lost for words for a while. He looked at Orville in disbelief.
Ernest laughed out loud when seeing Nathaniel’s startled and dark
expression. He made fun of Nathaniel and wasn’t afraid of annoying
Nathaniel at all.
Janet worked hard to hold back her laughter. It was because the wound on
her stomach would hurt if she laughed loudly.
Orville looked up at Nathaniel and curled his lips up in ridicule. He shot
daggers at Nathaniel. “The pocket watch is mine. Give it back to me.”
The smile that flashed in Janet’s eyes was caught by Nathaniel. Anger,
shame, and dissatisfaction arose from his heart at the same time. Nathaniel
said as his face turned gloomy, “Mr. Southey, here you are.”

Suddenly, Nathaniel released his hand, and the pocket watch fell straight to
the ground before anyone else could react.
Orville’s expression changed, and he had no time to argue with Nathaniel anymore. He rushed to catch the pocket watch. He lost his balance and fell
to the ground by accident.
