Chapter 105
It was raining dogs and cats outside. The weak willow trees and delicate flowers on the roadside were all bent from the heavy rain and strong wind that only stopped until some time had passed.
Nathan leaned lazily against the head of the bed in the room. His upper body was bare, and there were bloody scratch marks on his tan chest and back from a certain woman. His lower half, on the other hand, was covered by a blanket. He took out a cigarette from the bedside and lit it before taking a deep breath in and spitting it out.
Through the air where smoke lingered, he looked down at the woman beside him. She was curled up at the edge of the bed with her back against him, far away from him. She looked as if she could fall down.with the slightest movement.
Nathan continued to smoke several cigarettes before he got up and got out of bed. After he gracefully put on his trousers and shirt, he instructed in a hoarse voice, “Take the medicine yourself. I don’t want to see a child pop up out of nowhere.”
Despite his words, the woman in bed didn’t respond and only kept her eyes closed.
“Also,” he added, “there are things that I don’t want to repeat myself about. Break up with Jacob. If I see you two together again… I don’t care if he is watching, but I will…”
Before he could finish his words, the woman pulled the blanket over and covered her pale face with it.
Rendered speechless, Nathan chose to quietly take his suit jacket off the couch and left the room.
Caroline didn’t show her face even when it was peaceful again. She closed her eyes swollen and red from crying too hard as she comforted herself by telling herself that it
was over.
It was her fault for being a substitute, but he had played her like a toy in bed. They owed each other nothing from now on.
She didn’t expect that the stand–in game would end in such an unpleasant way.
Later in the night, Nathan returned to his office. After he entered the lounge, he dropped his suit jacket and lay on the bed.
His WhatsApp group notification was in kept going off. It turned out to be Logan and Samuel who were both inquiring about his date tonight.
Logan asked: [Nathan disappeared from here during his first date.]

[It would be weirder if Nathan was replying now. He probably went to have ‘fun‘ with. Caroline.] Samuel replied.
Seeing this, Nathan replied, [No. She talked me into buying her a strawberry ice cream at the entrance of the amusement park and dumped me.]
The grou
chat immediately erupted into chaos.
Nathan proceeded to put down his phone and close his eyes. He was stained with the lingering fragrance of her body.
Even if he didn’t have her in his arms tonight, he slowly drifted off to sleep.
The next morning.
Alfred knocked on the door of Nathan’s office before he walked in and reported in a low voice, “Mr. Faraday, I have contacted Mrs. Faraday who is in Doveston. She said that she allowed Shirley Sullivan to marry into the family two years ago for an emerald she had.”
“Emerald? What emerald?”
