On the other hand, Nathan received a phone call from Mark as soon as he got off the plane. "Nate, are you not spending New Year's Day in Taadi City this year?" Nathan was walking along the airstrip as he replied, "Hilda and I are celebrating New Year's overseas this year." As soon as they got off the plane, they were greeted by a gust of warm wind. After suffering from the cold throughout winter back at Taadi City, Hilda hurriedly took off her coat and changed into thinner clothes. Then, she comfortably walked in front of him. The North is awesome! He only had eyes for her as he distractedly listened to what the old man was saying. "Nate, Briana has been very depressed over the past two days. How on earth do you plan to deal with the affairs between the two of you?!" Michael said, "Old master Cannon, this is between us. Don't worry about it so much." Although Nathan did not answer, Mark seemed to have guessed his decision and said, "I watched the two of you grow up together. So
Kater followed after Hilda, running with its tongue out. It was extremely lively. On the other hand, Corrado was sprawled beside Nathan like an old veteran soldier. It was not as active. Meanwhile, Snowball was a white ball of fur playing in the water. By the time it came back after rolling around on the beach, it was a huge mess. Corrado was a pure black dog. As black absorbed heat, it was so hot that it kept sticking its tongue out. Thus, it hid under the shade of the beach umbrella. Nathan sipped on his juice and rubbed its head. It was so hot that it scorched his hands. So, he poured it a glass of ice water to lower its temperature. Just then, Hilda's joyful laughter entered his ears, it was truly a beautiful sound. All of a sudden, Gasper came over with a troubled expression as he held his phone in his hands. "Old Master Cannon has been calling non stop. You can't keep avoiding him like this!" Tsk. Nathan clicked his tongue. He was most afraid of the old man acting up. He jus
Corrado wagged its tail and followed behind Alban. It was very clingy. Nathan knew that Alban had rushed over right before dinnertime so that he could eat with them. Usually, Nathan would get upset whenever Alban came over to eat with them. However, he seemed unnaturally happy today. He even went so far as to invite Alban to join him for a cup of tea, and they chatted away happily. On the other hand, Hilda sat by the side, not daring to say a word. Even Alban noticed that Hilda was acting strangely today. It looked like something was weighing on her conscience. Taking the opportunity when Nathan left to the toilet, he quickly asked Hilda, "Hilda, are you alright?" Hilda felt very guilty. "I'm fine." Recalling the hot topic these days, he deliberately dragged the conversation back to Briana. "I saw the news recently. Public opinion is very unfavorable to you. Do you want me to help? I have a lot of friends in the legal profession." She quickly shook her head in response. "No, t
Any man would want to pick her up and protect her to the best of their ability. Before she could say anything, Nathan spoke up first with a bitter look of regret. His words were as sharp and merciless as knives. "Briana, we are not young anymore. We're adults now and we have to be reasonable. Therefore, the past should stay in the past. You're already in your mid thirties. So, you should understand that we're long past the age of living for the sake of love. Look at you, you cried so much that your wrinkles are showing!" Those words stabbed into her heart, that beat only for the sake of love, like blades. Subconsciously, she touched the corner of her eyes. Sure enough, she could feel roughness against her once smooth skin. Knowing that he was coming today, she had secretly put on some light makeup in advance to sway his heart. However, her crying just now had washed away her makeup, causing her wrinkles to appear. Nathan's cruel words had revealed a truth she did not wish to adm
The internet advocates were specialized in this field. Therefore, they were very skilled in this area. Only one day had passed since they started their work, and Briana's image of a strong, yet fragile lady was in full swing. In addition, she posted words such as 'No matter how painful life is, we need to stay strong' and 'Medicine may be bitter, but I still have to take it to live' on Twitter. Occasionally, she also shared some tidbits on depression. Thus, her image of a tragic and pitiful woman came alive on paper. With that, she successfully built an image of herself as a strong yet fragile lady, who had bottled up all her grievances. I'm sure Nathan will look at me! After all, Old Master believed it! Although Old Master couldn't meet her every day, he would call her daily. However, Nathan never called... In the end, she couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to call Nathan instead. "Nate... Did I mess things up again? I'm sorry... I didn't mean to... I never thought t
Nathan pretended not to understand her words. "Yeah. If you like it, you should play with it more." Upon hearing his reply, Hilda lost her temper and decided to ignore him. Over the next few days, she would also blow up from time to time without rhyme nor reason. "Nathan Clemon! You used to wear the belts from GUCCI. Why did you change to the belts from LV?! Are you sick of what you have? Are you going to get sick of me soon? You used to be able to last for more than 45 minutes! Why did you only last 30 minutes today? Are you getting tired of me? Do I disgust you? Tell me clearly! Don't you dare pretend to sleep! Stay away from me! You're too handsome. It's going to make me blind. I can't stand looking at you!" After squabbling for two days, Nathan ended up at the dog kennel Hilda had mentioned. It was a shop Sonnia owned. As soon as he arrived, the shopkeeper said, "Mr. Nathan Clemon, you're finally here! Your dog is ready, you can bring it home immediately." He had a gloomy expr
It was extremely hectic backstage, the animals were walking all over the place. At the same time, it felt like something was simmering beneath the surface. Still, Nathan would not try to do anything today. After all, it was an important day for Hilda. However, an unexpected guest appeared just before the fashion show officially started. "Briana, why are you here?" Hilda froze in shock for a moment when she saw Briana. Still, she smilingly invited Briana inside. She was not afraid of Briana acting up today as the place was crawling with dogs. Briana's appearance today made her seem like another person altogether when compared to how she looked back at the hospital. Like a patient dying of a critical illness, she looked pitiful and pale faced back then so much so that her wrinkles were showing. Now, she looked like a radiant beauty. Her face was exquisite, and her makeup was elegant. Her entire being seemed to radiate gracefulness. This version of Briana was the one Hilda was familia
The two of them took a short walk and came to an isolated corner where they were alone and away from everybody else's sight. Hilda took a swig of water before saying, "Briana, what do you want to say?" Briana hesitated to speak. She looked like she had to muster up her courage before she said, "Hilda, as you know, the Old Master wishes for Nate and me to get back together." Hilda snorted loudly, it could be considered her response to Briana's words. It was not the first time the Old Master Cannon had expressed that he wanted Nathan to get back together with Briana. Following that, Hilda would be 'freed', and the platoon of young men he had prepared could finally be put to use.. When Briana saw that Hilda didn't have much of a reaction to her words, she pretended to cry crocodile tears again. Biting on her lower lip, she looked like it was hard for her to speak. In the end, she said, "Hilda, the Old Master heard that you are infertile. And, that's why Nathan still doesn't have an
