Nathan hugged her and closed his eyes.
The following morning, Nathan woke up, turned over, and reached out to hug the person beside him,
trying to hold her longer in his sleep.
However, he was unable to feel her. No one was beside him; Caroline was gone.
Nathan opened his eyes and immediately woke up, thinking, “Why does she get up so early every Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
time?”
Her body’s fragrance still lingered on the bed and within his arms, and he realized he had become
increasingly dependent on her scent.
Suddenly, his phone rang. It was a message from Shirley.
Shirley: [Did you sleep well last night, Honey?]
Nathan smirked and replied, [I slept well.]
Shirley sent another message: [I have something to tell you, Honey. Tomorrow is my dad’s birthday,
and the Sullivan family is holding his birthday party. Can you come?]
Connor was about to celebrate his birthday. If Nathan attended the party, this was equivalent to
publicizing his marriage.
Shirley added: [Are you troubled by this, Honey? Then, forget it. I’m too happy right now and can’t wait
to tell everyone how happy I am.]
Nathan raised an eyebrow and sent a response: [Sure.]
Caroline received a call from Shirley, who said the emerald was not at her place. Two years ago, the
emerald was included in the dowry for the Faraday family, and Caroline needed to find it within the
Faraday family.
Caroline was speechless, thinking, “The Faraday family is big with huge businesses. How am I
supposed to find it? How did my emerald end up with the Faraday family?”
This matter suddenly became complicated.
At that moment, Yuliana visited her and took her to go shopping.
The two arrived at the mall and happened to see someone they knew. It was Shirley and her best
friend, Xena.
“Oh, Shelley, look who it is. It’s the two ugly women of Talia University. One is born with a birthmark on
her face, and the other has a scar on her face. Ugly people are
mingling with each other. What a perfect match,” Xena sneered.
Shirley’s crooked nose had almost recovered, and she was in great spirit. She looked refreshed as she
said hypocritically, “Don’t say that, Xena. They’re already ugly as they are. Don’t add to their misery.”
“You’re just too kind, Shelley. Just like a kind little fairy.”
Yuliana had never revealed her identity, so Shirley and Xena frequently made fun of her. Yuliana hated
those two.
“Oh, what is this awful smell? It seems like bad breath from the little fairy. The odor is filling the air.”
Yuliana laughed, pinching her nose.
Shirley’s expression changed drastically, and she immediately rushed toward Yuliana. “You…”
Caroline stood before Yuliana and stared at Shirley with clear eyes and a smile. “I kindly advise you to
be polite to her, Shirley. Otherwise, you’ll regret it in the future.”
Yuliana was Nathan’s most precious niece.
Shirley did not take it seriously, thinking Yuliana was not even worthy to kneel and polish her shoes.
“Do you see what I wear around my neck, Caroline?” Shirley was in a good mood as she reached up to
caress her Imperial Star necklace.
Recently, she had been feeling proud of herself. With the Imperial Star necklace gifted by Nathan, her
arrogant relatives groveled, and the affluent women in Yarwood extended invitations to Shirley to get
on good terms with her.
She became the darling of upper-class society.
“Caroline, this Imperial Star is worth tens of millions of dollars and is gifted by Shelley’s rich, mysterious
boyfriend. At the birthday party at the Sullivan residence tomorrow, Shelley’s boyfriend will appear to
announce their relationship.”
