chapter 6

Amanda's POV.

The angle made it impossible for me to see his expression,I lost my temper too quickly, and waited until I couldn't see his face before my mood snapped to a calm.

Did I just ...... act too grumpy? Although his tone of commanding me made me uncomfortable, but maybe he was concerned about me?

But how could that be? Thinking about what he just said, I felt very frustrated again.

He was only doing it so that I could do what would satisfy him during the agreement, and he didn't accept that I couldn't have my own way of thinking. I felt very frustrated thinking about what he had just said. But he obviously cares, and that he came back today with me in his arms.

But what about him? Why should he be able to keep me from being satisfied? Would it kill him to be nice to me? Is it that hard for him?But ...... he's Nathan.

When I think of him, I think of those sweet teenage things that I longed for him and followed him throughout my school years. If, and I mean if, he's willing to stay, is there a glimmer of possibility that doesn't that mean ...... he's actually worried about me too? That he has me in his heart?

He even hugged me and came back, by the way! He came back with me in his arms!

My brain is very confused, the heart expects him to stay, but also afraid that he really stay, if he stays, I have to say something to him? At least to ease the atmosphere just now, it is too stiff ......

The emotions that could not be concealed bubbled in my heart.

I'm not sure if it means he's got me in his heart to stay.

"Amanda, you're an adult, I wish you'd stop being so willful. I have things to do, so I'll leave you to get some rest."

Nathan's cold voice suddenly sounded in thequiet room, he seemed to be back to his high and mighty self, and before I even had time to react, I heard a slamming sound.

He was gone.

He was gone!

I violently lifted the covers and looked incredulously at the door of the room, which was really tightly closed at the moment!

I suddenly thought of what I saw just before I fainted, Nathan was not alone, he was still followed by the beautiful young girl.

Eat together, travel together, the relationship between them, far more intimate than I thought.

So, Nathan is in a hurry to go out, is it really "I have something to do" or is it out of duty to send me back and then rush to meet the beautiful girl?

The anger inside suddenly rose up, I do not understand why his neglect in the end so justified, and I can not stand it, there is a strange woman is Nathan's side, I do not want to see such a thing happen, even if I was in front of Nathan so many times, I still want to struggle again.That anger drove me to take out my phone and call Nathan, I had to ask for clarification, I was Nathan's wife, I couldn't believe I was a stranger in his eyes.

The phone took a long time to ring before it was picked up, and before I had a chance to speak, the other side spoke first.

"Hi, May I ask who you are, I see your phone number has no notes, Nathan is driving and is not available to answer the phone."

The voice that came over the phone made me freeze, the voice was sweet, a pretty girl at first hearing. Her voice revealed an intimacy with the owner of the phone, gentle but totally superior.

My throat felt like it was clogged, so she had been waiting for Nathan downstairs.

They were so close that she could take Nathan's calls at will, and who was I?

I was a woman who didn't even deserve to have a note on her husband's phone.

I couldn't stay any longer, my anger was burning me to death, I immediately got up from the bed and went to the bedroom to pack my bags, a huge loss enveloped me, loss and at the same time, I felt ashamed, all these years I always thought, I was married to Nathan, slowly, our relationship will be good. But what happened? This shame made me not even have the patience to fold my clothes, directly piled all my things in a box, packed and rushed out to leave Nathan's house. I didn't want my mom to see what I had suffered today, and I didn't want her to know that Nathan and I had come to this point of divorce. With so many bad things going on at home and my dad still in jail, I really didn't want her to worry about me. I straightened my face in the car, pushed the door open and walked in.

At first glance, I found my mother sitting in the living room, her look dazed and covering her arm. She also seemed to notice that I had returned and hastily pulled her sleeves down in a panic.

I rushed over and pulled the sleeve away despite her refusal, only to find that it was a reddish burn mark!

The mother also looked a little embarrassed, I kept taking deep breaths to calm myself down, suppressing the anger in my heart and said, "Quit that job, father owes a lot of money, we can't pay them with restaurant chores paycheck, I'll take you to doctor to see the injury on your hand."

Perhaps it is clear that I am in a bad mood, this time my mother did not say anything, while carefully watching my face, while waiting for me to make an appointment with the doctor.

Luckily, a doctor I was fairly familiar with happened to be free right now, and I was relieved when she told me to take my mother directly to the hospital to see her.

The wound is not serious, but for the elderly, this burn may have complications, the doctor prescribed a lot of drugs, I bought all of them. My face was gloomy and even my mother was in a bad mood. I had a headache and simply asked my mother to wait for me in the garage.

In the elevator I met I looked at the scenery in the corridor alone for a while, feeling calmer, and only then I went to press the elevator, at that moment, I ran into a "familiar person".

That beautiful blonde girl is in the elevator, and still on the phone: "Mr. Lancaster, I have arrived at the hospital, and will be home later, I also bought you some fruits and flowers ......"

Probably seeing that I had not been in the elevator, she raised her head, and the two of us met at eye level, and in that moment, I knew very well in my heart.

She knew who I was.

Sure enough, she hung up after exchanging a few pleasantries, her eyes were fixed on me, and I entered the elevator with no expression before she spoke, "Amanda, I didn't expect to meet you here."

I turned my head and looked at her coldly, "Who are you?"

I had the answer in my mind, I knew that she must be the 'Charlotte'.

"My name is Charlotte, I'm a friend of Nathan's." She smiled slightly, and held out her hand to me: "Nathan's dad is sick, and he asked me to come and help him find the doctor he usually sees, and get some medicine back for him."

She was showing off, I could hear it. Showing off how close she was to Mr. Lancaster. Nathan' dad was very unhappy with me when we got married, but at that time our family was still rich, and because of the city's program and probably my dad's pressure, Nathan's dad eventually acquiesced to Nathan and I getting married, and because he didn't know about the marriage, he wouldn't contact me even now.

There are times when I can't help but wonder what I did wrong. I didn't spend a penny of Nathan's money, I treated Nathan's relatives very kindly, and I sent gifts to Mr. Lancaster every time there was a holiday, but to him, I did all these things superfluously. On several occasions, I heard Mr. Lancaster call Nathan, and his words were very rude to me.

Nathan would usually just hang up the phone, and I used to think he was more determined, but now I just remembered that Nathan never retorted for me.

I looked again at the beautiful girl named "Charlotte", her eyes and eyebrows are proud with a sense of superiority, but I know what her complacent capital is. When I knew her name, I deliberately searched for her family's illustrious, I can only say, no wonder Nathan was very gentle with her.

She smiled faintly, as if making small talk with me: "I heard about your father, I wonder if there is anything I can do to help?" She smiled slightly, as if she was making small talk with me.

Her tone was saying help, but in reality the disdain in her tone didn't even need to be disguised. I frowned, "How did you know?"

She covered her mouth and laughed softly, and was just about to say something when the elevator arrived.

"If you don't mind, let's talk?"

She pointed to the smoking room on this floor, and I knew I should say no, but I couldn't say anything to refuse.

What was her relationship with Nathan.I must admit, I wanted to know more than anyone.

After entering the smoking room, she slowly sat down and relaxed: "Everyone in the circle knows about your father, the new council members of the city government all took office this morning, I guess, they are thoroughly investigating the projects that went through your father's hands before? I visited Mr. Lancaster yesterday and he told me you were his wife, but no one in the company knew that Nathan was married, he never mentioned it, don't you think. Your own existence is ridiculous?"

I felt a pang of embarrassment and straightened my spine, trying desperately to hide the hurt on my face, "What are you trying to say?"

I clenched my fingers, and my heart felt pain and cold again.

Of course it was ridiculous, how could it not be? I wanted to take care of Nathan, his affairs always came first in my heart, and I wore my wedding ring every moment, wanting to remind him, and myself, that we were married and that we could consider each other as close.

But time and time again, Nathan told me with his heart that I was just an ordinary person in his heart.

Maybe not just an ordinary person, just someone passing through. "And then what? What do you want to do and say?" I asked her coldly.

"Here's a check for ten million dollars. In exchange, you leave Nathan and divorce him." She flipped open the designer bag in her hand and held a check between two fingers.

, she had even prepared all this, and I couldn't help but wonder if she knew about me or ...... Nathan had told her.

"I believe this will solve your father's problems." She said with a confident smile at me, and I moved my eyes down to pick up the check.

"Ten million ......" I sighed, then tore that check to shreds, in the sky of confetti, Charlotte's face did not even change a bit, superiority even with pity: "You can not borrow this money, even if you go today You can't borrow this money, even if you go to the underground club stripping today. Your father is corrupt, who would dare to lend money to your family?"

I could not stand it any longer, stood up and said to her with a sneer: "Keep the money yourself, I suggest you take this money to buy Mr Lancaster's life, or wait for a woman of higher value than you to appear, he will let his son marry another woman. Want me to get a divorce? You're dreaming."

Her face became twisted this time, and I left the room with a huge stride.

I wanted to curse, not to curse others, I wanted to curse my stupid self.
