Chapter 40 Reunion Of The Family


    "When will my father get out?" Mandy''s expression showed displeasure. And in every minute that


    passed by, she was anxiously getting more worried. When Nathan was his normal self, he was as good


    as a real gentleman. But when he was not, he acted like a schizophrenic. She was afraid that he would


    trap her.


    "Mandy, that depends on when youply with my request. If you promise me what I want, your father


    can be free the next minute," continued Nathan. He squinted his dark eyes. He tried to scrutinize the


    piece of paper he was toying with in his hand. It was the same document that sent Daniel to prison.


    A suddenly cold voice came through the phone, interrupting Mandy''s wandering thoughts. For a brief


    moment, she was too nervous to utter a word. With her hand trembling slightly, she gripped hard on her


    mobile phone. "Didn''t you say that you wanted me to be willing to ept it?" she managed to ask in a


    low voice.


    "But you won''t do it, will you?" A faint smile crept to his lips because all things were running ording


    to his n. He was the owner of the game, and he was in charge of the game''s progress.


    "I promise no matter what request you make, as long as my father cane out immediately." She felt


    weak and desperate. And seemingly in indescribable pain, she closed her eyes as if to think clearly.


    Her face was full of worry and sadness.


    "Well, move out and live with me tomorrow. In the morning, precisely before 10, your father can go


    home. Then you and your mother can also return to the MC Garden," he replied softly. Nathan reclined


    himself down on the sofa. As he sank deeper, his mind was already preupied. During these years,


    he felt that he didn''t need anything in his life except for a woman. She must be someone who could


    walk into his heart.


    Perhaps, Mandy''s fate had been closely associated with him four years ago, or he wouldn''t want to live


    with her now.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    Shocked was an understatement when Mandy heard him. She was momentarily stunned. Her eyes


    yielded unwillingness. She quickly bit her lips and dared not say a single word. ''No!'' her mind yelled at


    her. If she refused Nathan now, there would be no one to save her father. She was more afraid that he


    might turn to deal with her father, which she did not want to happen. Nathan was able to send Daniel to


    prison overnight, and make the major newspapers rush to report his charges, which shows that he was


    more resourceful than Daniel. With all of these, would she dare the risk to offend him?


    "Okay, but how can I get there?" Mandy retorted after calming herself down. She was gritting her teeth,


    and her eyes were filled with confusion. She had to promise to do this for her father and the Zhou


    Family.


    "I will send someone to pick you up. Tell your parents that you will move out. You will only have one


    night to stay with them." What Nathan blurted out was more like official rhetoric, and quite impersonal.


    Mandy brought her cold hands towards her chest. Her heart was trembling violently. She gasped for


    breath, but it was difficult to hide the uneasiness in her heart.


    She knew it clearly that once they lived together, she would be his mistress!


    What a mockery! Once upon a time, she had excessively hoped for pure love. And what she despised


    the most was those who sell themselves for profit. However, people could never know what would


    happen next. Now she was reduced to such a situation.


    Nathan was a man who seriously kept his word. At exactly ten o''clock in the morning, Stanley went


    home.


    Madeline and Mandy were eagerly waiting at the MC Garden. They were both nervous and excited at


    the same time. And to wee Stanley, Mandy even applied for a half day''s leave.


    Mandy burst into tears the moment her father pushed the door open. She cried and threw herself into


    Stanley''s arms.


    "Dad, you''re finally back." Mandy couldn''t stop herself from crying. But knowing that her father was


    here now, relief washed over her. Then her sadness and sorrow seemed to vanish in an instant


    because of the reunion of her family.


    In these few days, dramatic and even drastic changes had taken ce in her life. The betrayal of


    Daniel, the decline of the Zhou Family, the meeting with Nathan, and the promise to be his woman


    were all unexpected.


    "Silly girl, why are you crying? Didn''t Dad say that, "Daddy will be back."" Stanley was so touched by


    his daughter. Although there were no more bruises in the corner of his mouth, an ache still lingered in


    his heart for his daughter. Mandy should be happy every day and do what she wanted to do. She


    shouldn''t have been worried all these days. With a rekindled determination in his eyes, he told himself


    to do more to protect this family.


    He was the backbone of this family. These terrible things had never happened in the past years. And


    these days, his wife and daughter had suffered a lot. Guilt overwhelmed him at leaving them in this


    tormented situation.
