Chapter 1338 Confrontation
Nathan frowned. This woman even knew Halma, so it seemed she had truly done her research. “You should know that I really like her, right?”
Lexie raised an eyebrow at him. “What does that have to do with anything? People change. Who can guarantee that they will only like one person for their entire life? Even you can’t do that, Nathan.”
His frown deepened and the lines on his face were so severe that it looked as though his face was carved in stone. “Do you know that you’re ruining someone else’s relationship?”
Her lips curled into a nonchalant smile. “You’re not engaged or married, so how am I ruining your relationship?”
Nathan took a deep breath as he attempted and failed to restrain his anger. Eventually, an uncontrollable aura of rage erupted from him.
“Did your parents not teach you to have some moral boundaries as a person? When I made it clear that I already have a girlfriend and am in love with her, it is immoral to continue to pester me. I was more than willing to maintain a good relationship between our families and avoid falling out with you prior to this conversation. Unfortunately, it seems that that is definitely unnecessary. You’re shameless!”
He stood up to leave after saying his piece.
Meanwhile, Lexie, who was two years older than Nathan, remained seated at the table, even though a flicker of anger flashed in her eyes. “Nathan, stop right there. What do you mean by all this? Do you know what your words imply?”
He looked at her and responded with a light and carefree laugh. “Are you trying to threaten me? Are you suggesting that if I leave, the collaboration between our families will end?”
She responded with a resolute nod, “Yes. Nathan, you’re no longer a child. Do you know the losses Baker Enterprise will suffer if we don’t cooperate? Do you not care? Do your parents not care? Nathan, life is not just about Halma. There are many things you’ll refuse to compromise on but will have to eventually.”
Nathan sneered as his eyes were filled with a manic sort of glee at the impending destruction. “That’s why I said you don’t understand me at all. No one can force me to comply with their wishes if I refuse to. This is just like you offering yourself to me and me scorning you right after. If it weren’t for the sake of courtesy, I wouldn’t have bothered to spare you a second glance.”
His voice was far from hushed, and there was quite a distance between him and Lexie. Therefore, his words sounded particularly loud in the quiet coffee shop.
