Chapter 69 Other Woman


    "Can you see it? That was the scar from the surgery I had," Mandy gave a lightugh, but there was a


    heaviness in her heart.


    Seeing her sadness, Nathan didn''t want to do anything else except to hug her and hold her close.


    "Mand, I will never let you get hurt again," he murmured, looking deeply into Mandy''s eyes. There was


    a solemn look on his face, which was so different from before.


    Sighing, Mandy was deeply moved by Nathan''s words. For that particr moment, she believed in his


    promise.


    Nathan acted like a real gentleman. With utter gentleness, he helped Mandy get out of the bath after


    she had washed up. Although they didn''t talk much, they seemed to have some connection between


    them in an instant, and there was a tacit understanding that wasn''t there before.


    After the bath, Nathan gently patted Mandy''s body dry and helped her put on the bathrobe. Mandy was


    so shy that she didn''t even dare to raise her head.


    Carefully, Nathan escorted Mandy to sit in front of the dresser. Bending down, he took out a hairdryer


    from the drawer of the dressing table. The warm lighting from the hairdryer shone on his hand.


    Nathan''s hair was still quite wet, but he didn''t care about himself at the moment. What was important


    for him right now was to get Mandy dried off so that she wouldn''t get sick.


    Mandy had sleek, ck locks. Looking at the mirror, she saw how Nathan gently stoked her hair. It was


    as if he looked like a gentle and loving husband.


    Suddenly, this particr scene reminded Mandy of a memory she had. During the first night she came


    here, she remembered that Nathan was doing the same exact thing for another woman.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Details of that memory came, flooding to her senses and clouded her thoughts. She even distinctly


    pictured how Nathan and that woman had shared a kiss in that room.


    The more she thought about this, the more Mandy felt short of breath.


    "I can dry my hair on my own," Mandy said. Although she had said this in a quiet tone, Nathan could


    tell from her knitted eyebrows that she was unhappy.


    "No. Don''t move," he squinted his dark eyes and said lightly.


    "I can do it on my own. I''m not a kid anymore," Mandy said, trying to take the hair dryer from Nathan''s


    hand. Jealousy filled her heart.


    Mandy didn''t like it when she knew Nathan treated other women in the same gentle way. There was an


    uneasy feeling in her stomach, knowing that Nathan was doing something to her that he had already


    done with another girl.


    "What is your problem, Mandy?" Nathan stretched out his arm, taking the hair dryer out of Mandy''s


    reach.


    "It is nothing. Just go dry yourself up first. You''re the CEO of yourpany. You can''t afford to get


    sick," Mandy reasoned out calmly, but she was very unhappy in her heart.


    If Nathan had a cold, his lovers would have rushed out by the night.


    "I''m not as weak as you are," he countered, but the calmness in his eyes wavered the slightest bit. If


    Mandy caught a cold, he wouldn''t be able to forgive himself.


    "I''m not as weak as you think," Mandy tried to argue with Nathan. She looked straight at Nathan''s


    reflection in the mirror.


    "Don''t talk nonsense. Just sit here and be a good girl," Nathan said in amanding tone as he put his


    hand on Mandy''s shoulder.


    "No way," Mandy said firmly. At this point, the jealousy in her heart just continued to grow. She couldn''t


    take her mind off the fact that Nathan had performed the same affectionate actions towards a different


    woman.


    "Don''t try to challenge me, Mandy." Seeing that Mandy didn''t want to listen to him, Nathan frowned. He


    didn''t like women being disobedient.


    Sitting there coldly, Mandy said angrily, "I don''t want you to help me dry my hair as you did with that


    other woman from before."


    Nathan paused for a moment, but then he continued with a smile, "So you are annoyed by her."


    "I am not." As soon as her words came out, Mandy knew she was betrayed by her jealous tone.


    "Mandy Zhou, watch your behavior, okay? You''re my woman, but you are not my only woman. Some


    things are not of your concern." His lips were pressed into a fine line, and there was a cold contempt on


    his handsome face.


    That night, Eve came back to look for him because she just came back from Europe on holiday. She


    wanted to give him a surprise. And here was his secret base. Whenever he was in a bad mood, he


    liked toe to this vi alone. Eve had followed him here once, knowing that he would be here.


    The Su Family and the Jin Family were old family friends. For the sake of his parents, and the interests


    of the Su Group''s bank, Nathan indulged Eve very much, but he had never slept with her. His first


    woman was Mandy.


    Mandy held her bathrobe closer to her body. Why was Nathan allowed to have sex with other women?


    And yet she did not even have the right to be jealous.


    For a long time, Mandy said nothing further, and she just sat there as she lightly bit on her soft lips.


    She was thinking about her identity, her position, and her image in Nathan''s mind. If she insisted on


    everything, she would only get hurt in the end. One month was not long, but neither was it short.


    Mandy forced herself not to think about Nathan. They wouldn''t owe each other a thing after the month


    passed. Besides, she still had to go on a blind date a few dayster.


    Although Mandy wasn''t at all hopeful on her blind date, she actually wanted to meet that man. Why


    should she stay here and suffer under Nathan''s hand?


    The humming sound of the hair dryer was whirring beside her ear. Although the air was fairly warm,


    Mandy felt cold inside her heart as the wind blew on her.


    Mandy felt so sad that she couldn''t close her eyes that night. It was as if she would be pushed into the


    dark abyss as soon as she closed her eyes.


    Deep in the night, she could hear Nathan''s steady, rhythmic breathing. For the first time in a long a


    time, Mandy felt that Nathan was actually there.


    He was thest person she saw every night before she went to bed. And the first person she saw every


    morning when she woke up. But their rtionship was not right. He just took what he wanted from her


    and treated her like trash.


    The sunlight came in through the gap of the thick curtain. When Mandy woke up, she looked


    subconsciously at the other side of the bed. Surprisingly, Nathan was still there.


    The sight of him made Mandy a bit happy.


    Mandy took out her cellphone to look at the time. It was still quite early in the morning. Setting aside


    her phone, sheid her head on the pillow to get some more sleep. But when she closed her eyes, her


    body and mind felt as if they were already wide awake.


    With a quiet sigh, Mandy turned on her side and stared nkly at the man beside her. His skin was


    very smooth and clear, and there was not a single mark on his face. His jaw was taut and angr, and


    sharp eyes were framed with dark, thick brows. Sleeping like this, he looked so peaceful, although he


    had said something that made Mandy uneasy.
