Nathan reached out his large hand, adorned with an expensive watch. He gently touched her clean and
soft face and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Caroline nuzzled his hand and rubbed her face against it like a kitten. “I’m just a little tired.”
“Did you tire yourself out last night?” Nathan teased.
Caroline looked up and glared at him. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Looking at her, Nathan asked, “Do you want to lean on me?”
Caroline leaned over and rested her head on his sturdy shoulder.
The traffic light ahead of them turned red, so Nathan stopped the car. After that, he lowered his head
and kissed Caroline’s forehead.
Caroline’s eyelashes trembled. It seemed like his gentle and tender kiss had relieved all
her exhaustion. She looked up at Nathan with watery eyes, like a r
And then, Nathan kissed her again. This time, it was on her red lips.
The two of them kissed at the traffic light on the street
Beep!
At that moment, a car h onked from behind. It turned out the red light had turned
green.
Nathan let go o
of Caroline and stepped on the accelerator. “Then let’s head back to the office first. I’ll have the chef in
the office to make you something to cat.”
“Okay,” Caroline answered as her face reddened.
Soon, a melodious ringtone sounded from Nathan’s phone.
Caroline could see who was calling as his phone was connected to the car’s Bluetooth.. She saw a
familiar name appear on the screen. It was Renee.
It was Renee calling
Thus, Caroline quickly sat up straight.
As soon as the soft and warm fragrance on his shoulder was gone, Nathan’s good- looking brows
twitched/slightly. He reached out and answered the phone.

“Hello, Mr. Faraday.” Renee’s soft voice reached Caroline’s cars.
From the corner of his eyes, Nathan glanced at the girl beside him and responded to Renee in a deep
and indifferent voice, “What’s the matter?”
“Well, Mr. Faraday, the thing is, I’ve already moved out of the Sullivan residence, and now… I have
nowhere to go. Can I stay with you for a couple of days?”
Hearing that, Nathan was expressionless. He did not give Renee a firm yes or no and merely said, “I’ll
call you back later.”
He then hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.
“Mr. Faraday, why don’t you deal with Renee’s matter first? Caroline asked while looking at him.
Nathan curled his thin lips into a half-smile. “How do you suggest I handle it?”
“That’s easy to deal with. Rence either wants a house from you or wants you to keep her company
tonight. Since you have plenty of houses, you can give her a mansion. Otherwise, if she needs a
companion, you can also…”
Caroline stopped talking because Nathan’s cold glance fell on her. “How generous of you to give out
houses on my behalf,” he said.
After hearing what Nathan said, Caroline looked out the window sulkily.
The warmth between them just now had turned into an eerie silence. After a while, Nathan spoke
again. “Do you really want me to keep someone else company tonight?”
Caroline’s fair fingers curled up slightly the moment she heard that.
“There’s only one of me. If I accompany someone else, then I can’t keep you company, he added.
Caroline turned to look at the man beside her. “It’s up to you to decide, Mr. Faraday. If you want to
accompany someone else, I have no objection.”
Suddenly, Nathan’s aura turned cold. The corner of his lips curled up into a sarcastic arc, and he
remarked, “Seeing that you’re so eager to push me to someone else, why don’t I just drop you here, so
you can walk back yourself while I’ll go accompany someone else?”
Caroline merely replied a word, “Okay.”
The next second, a sharp braking sound could be heard. Nathan immediately stopped the car on the
side of the road, and he muttered two words under his breath, “Get off.” His tone was somber and
menacing.

Without saying another word, Caroline opened the passenger seat door and walked away without
looking back.
Nathan sat alone in the car with a darkened expression after Caroline left. The dim light coated his
handsome face in flickering brightness and darkness as he gripped the steering wheel tightly..
