Nathan smiled. Can’t get away from work? She just doesn’t know how to face me. All of a sudden, he felt a little distressed and he said hoarsely, “Okay.”
Kate glanced at him, and her heart that had been lifted up was quietly lowered. After all, she knew very well that Melanie had lived in his house before. It was just as likely that she had even slept on their bed as well, so Kate really didn’t want to return there.
After placing the things on the table, she sat on his hospital bed, picked up a serving of pigs in a blanket with the utensils, and brought it to Nathan’s lips. “These are pigs in a blanket from Paragon. You haven’t eaten them for a long time, right?”
Everything she did was so natural that it felt like she was used to it, but the more that Kate did so, the more Nathan felt like a jerk. He opened his mouth and ate the dish.
Maybe it was because he hadn’t eaten it for a long time or he was being fed by Kate, but her suddenly felt that the pigs in a blanket were delicious.
He looked at her and said, “I haven’t felt this way for a long time. I was once sick and hospitalized in a coma for three days. You took care of me just like this too. When I woke up, I almost didn’t recognize you because you were even more haggard than me. Do you remember the first thing I said to you?”
She was stunned. Why wouldn’t she remember? He said that she was a fool. You even asked whether you should start calling me ‘dummy’ from tomorrow onward. How could you not know how to sleep?
At that time, Kate thought that he cared about her and felt sorry for her. However, later on, when she saw the way Nathan spoke to Melanie, it was only then that she knew that he was a smooth-talker!
His tone of concern and distress was not like this. At that time, Nathan only looked down on her habitually and didn’t want to talk to her nicely. What was he trying to say by bringing this up?
Did he want to remind her of how stupid she was? Or, did he want to show how smart he was? That he could easily deceive her for so many years? To the point where she couldn’t let it go-even until now?
