Cameron froze in his tracks.
Was Nathalie poking fun at him for ditching his first wife? Was she questioning his morals?
He stumbled out, clearly flustered.
Inside, Nathan, who rarely let his guard down, sat on the couch. His captivating eyes were locked on Nathalie, a shadow from his thick lashes adding a mature edge to his devilishly good looks.
"Nathalie, you've been getting pretty chummy with him lately," he said, his tone as smooth as a seasoned storyteller’s. He sounded devoid of any emotion, yet his inner turmoil was obvious. "Have you forgiven him?"
Nathalie wandered over to the bar and whipped up two smoothies, handing one to Nathan. "Nathan, you're still young. You wouldn't get the complexities between me and Cameron."
It was a never-ending saga, tangled and messy. She had to avenge her daughter.
Nathan sipped the smoothie gracefully. It started off bitter, then turned sweet, leaving a rich aroma lingering in his mouth.
He instantly got what Nathalie was trying to convey with the drink. Life's full of ups and downs, but you've got to believe that there's always a rainbow after the storm.
He was genuinely touched. After Gavin booted him from the Rowland family home, he got a crash course in life's harsh realities in just a few short hours. The same relatives who were all over him before now wouldn’t even pick up his calls. They were scared of getting caught up in his mess.
"This smoothie is amazing, Nathalie," he said, moved.
