Chapter 710 Take A Hike, Please


    Nathan could not recall whether he put his mobile phone on flight mode. He did not usually turn his


    phone off, so... Was it Audrey who did it?


    Nathan remembered that when they were in the car, Audrey had used his phone for a while. But why


    would she set his mobile phone on airne mode?


    After thinking for a while, Nathan concluded that Audrey would not do such a rude thing. He convinced


    himself that maybe it was because of his carelessness. He was quite busy in the afternoon, so he did


    not have time to look at his phone.


    It was not until one o''clock in the early morning that Nathan finished his work. He took the key to open


    Adrian''s bedroom and gently took Mandy back to their bedroom.


    Although Nathan was very gentle, Mandy was still awakened by him. She was very upset before she


    fell asleep, so she was in a light sleep state. When Nathan picked her up, she immediately felt it. She


    did not want to wake her son, so she kept silent all the way.


    In their bedroom, when Nathan was about to turn on the light, he suddenly realized that it might


    awaken Mandy. He decided to keep the light off, and carefully walked toward the bed step by step. The


    bedroom was dark, and Mandy was pretending to be asleep. It was dark enough for Nathan not to


    notice it.


    After Nathan set her down gently on the bed, Mandy kept still and quiet and breathed steadily. She


    deliberately turned away from Nathan, not wanting to sleep in his arms. She could not leave him now,


    so she just turned her back on him.


    A touch of tenderness appeared on Nathan''s cold yet still handsome face. He looked at Mandy


    passionately. His dark eyes were likenterns floating in the sea. They lit up the darkness in the room.


    When his slender fingers touched her round, smooth shoulders, he wanted to turn her over, but he felt


    some sort of force that told him to withdraw. Nathan narrowed his eyes and realized that Mandy was


    already awake.


    "Are you awake, Mandy? Did I wake you up? I''m so sorry," Nathan said softly as he looked directly at


    her, his dark eyes like a clear, bottomless pool.


    "Please go to sleep in the guest room and stay away from me tonight." Mandy did not directly answer


    his question, but she replied with a grave face.


    Suddenly, the atmosphere around them turned so heavy and depressing that they could almost taste it.


    Nathan casually flipped Mandy''s long hair with a gentle smile on his delicate lips. "What''s up, honey?"


    he asked, quite confused.


    "Nothing''s up. I just don''t want to see you or be around you tonight, okay?" Saying that Mandy felt so


    aggrieved. She had not had a proper lunch because she felt a little lonely, eating her lunch without


    Nathan. All she ate for lunch was the cup of yogurt Quintin had brought her.


    Truth to be told, Mandy''s original intention was not to refuse lunch altogether just because of Nathan. It


    was just that she had had ate breakfast. She was still full at lunch time. She was looking forward to


    having supper with Nathan, though, only to end up missing it because he came homete.


    "What''s wrong with you?" Nathan smiled lightly. There was a touch of tenderness in his dark, almost


    mysterious eyes.


    "Don''t y with me now, Nathan. I don''t want to talk to you. Take a hike, please." Mandy growled and


    rolled her eyes at Nathan. She wiggled away from him, with her back still turned. She really wanted to


    ask him about his little friend who he went to meet this afternoon, but she was afraid that he was


    dealing with other women because of business. She was afraid that she would misunderstand him, and


    she did not want him to know what was on her mind. So, she suppressed her anger and kept her


    mouth shut.


    However, her negative emotions and feelings covered her heart with dark clouds that did not seem to


    dissipate.


    With that thought, she blinked her eyes against the darkness. It was already autumn and a little cold.


    She wrapped herself in the quilt, hoping that the depressed feeling would go away.


    "Honey, can you please just tell me what I did wrong?" Nathan asked with a tinge of exhaustion in his


    voice. He was more than willing to exin if Mandy asked directly. The way she was acting now made


    him very ufortable.


    "Oh, you did nothing wrong. It''s just some Chanel No. 5 on your clothes. What could possibly be wrong


    with that?" A mocking grimace spread across Mandy''s beautiful face. She looked like an angry


    hedgehog.


    "Are you jealous?"


    "Oh, please. I''m not that bored. Why would I be jealous? You work so hard. You have every right to


    meet whoever you like. Besides, we agreed before that if you have an illicit love affair with another


    woman, we will get a divorce." What Mandy said was a halfhearted warning. Her soft voice suddenly


    sounded savage and heartless.


    She had meant every word as if to remind Nathan that if he dared do something bad, she would not


    think twice to divorce him.


    "Can you not mention ''divorce'' so frequently? I really don''t like hearing that word," Nathan mumbled


    gravely. His face was gloomy, but he did not dare scold Mandy.


    After all, Mandy was his wife, the love of his life.


    "I really don''t give a damn if you don''t like hearing it, Nathan. I''m going to sleep. Don''t disturb me,"


    Mandy said unhappily, wrapping herself in the quilt once again and turning her back on Nathan.


    Negative energy seemed to be slowly spreading in the air, and Nathan sensed it, however faintly. He


    got a little sulky. "Mandy, why are you getting angry without telling me the reason? What do you take


    me for? And do you even trust me from the bottom of your heart?"


    Nathan bombarded her with questions. It would be better if he did not push it. Maybe she would still be


    there when he woke up the next morning. The next moment, Mandy could not contain her emotions


    and feelings anymore. She thought she had to make herself clear.


    Mandy got out of bed all of a sudden. She stretched out her arm and fumbled on the wall. She turned


    on the light.


    The sudden dazzling light made them unable to open their eyes wide. Mandy sat cross legged on the


    bed like an angry female lion and stared at Nathan with way more intensity than necessary.


    "Yes, I do trust you. Deep in my heart, I want to be a sensible and loving wife. I had sent you a


    message today, but you didn''t reply to me. I thought you were really busy. I didn''t expect that you were


    really busy with another woman," Mandy said with a bitter smirk.

    "I don''t understand. What do you mean by saying such things? I really went to meet a friend today,"


    Nathan retorted. At the moment, he felt like Mandy had be a little bit unreasonable.


    "Okay. Then I ask you, is your friend a man or a woman?" Mandy asked.


    "She''s a woman, but we''re just friends. She flew from Switzend to City A. I had to go and pick her up


    from the airport. It''s my job."


    "Why should you be the one to pick her up? Doesn''t she have any friends in City A?" Mandy sneered.


    She looked Nathan up and down.
