The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 597

Tara shoots Danny an exasperated glare. This man is acting incredibly childish.

"But we already—" Nathaniel starts.

"It's fine, Nathaniel. Let it go. It's just one more person. He can stay," Tara cuts in. She knows full well that once this stubborn man decides to plant himself in a chair, it would take an army to move him.

"But..."

"It's really fine," Tara insists. "The Calhoun Corporation and the Dennis Group have plenty of overlapping business anyway. If he wants to sit here, let him."

Since Tara is putting her foot down, Nathaniel has no choice but to bite his tongue.

"You are always so good to me," Danny says, his eyes gleaming as he affectionately pinches her cheek. Then, with practiced ease, he snaps on a pair of gloves and begins quietly peeling shrimp and extracting crab meat, placing the perfect morsels directly onto her plate. To Nathaniel's utter horror, Tara doesn't reject him. She just picks up her fork and eats the seafood naturally, without a second thought.

Their silent, domestic intimacy is a brutal punch to Nathaniel's gut. It burns. It is absolute torture to watch.

"Lunch is on me today. Don't hold back, order whatever you want," Danny says to Nathaniel, flashing him a devastatingly smug smile.

"I'm fine." Nathaniel has completely lost his appetite. How is he supposed to stomach food while watching them act like a married couple? He grabs his water glass and takes a heavy gulp, desperately trying to cool his rising temper.
