The rxed expression on Maja’s face suddenly froze. She hesitated, “I think we’ve been here once or
twice.”
Her husband had only taken her to such a restaurant once or twice.
business.
His fingertips rested on the table, contrasting with the red roses on the side, looking even more
attractive than usual.
Maja quickly forgot her troubles. She was looking at his fingertips. Beside his fingers were a few bright
red roses.
Theposition was excellent. She could draw it when she got home, then take a nap and wake up to
go to Crystalbrook Valleyn noticed that she wasn’t talking and was staring at his hand.
Her gaze was tant, full of admiration and praise.
Just asn was about to speak, he looked up and saw a man and a woman approaching from not far
away. The man was Nathan
Nathan clearly hadn’t seen Maja; he wasughing and joking with a woman.
The woman seemed a bit pretentious, lightly tapping on his shoulder. Nathan’s cheeks instantly turned
red; he looked embarrassed, scratching his head
The two sat down in aer, Nathan’s hand resting on the table.
The woman said something to him, then ced her own hand on the back of his, looking very intimate.
Nathan’s face tumed even redder, but he didn’t pull his hand away.
The woman was his female coworker at Silverstone Enterprises. She had asked him to drive her home
that night.
Nathan was quite active in the department, but no one knew about his family situation, and he hadn’t
disclosed it to anyone.
In modern society, men and women would want to know about each other’s family situations.
Nathan had always been low-key. To others, his behavior seemed a bit suspicious.
On that particr evening, Nathan’s female colleague was unable to find a taxi and ended up stranded
on the side of the road. As luck would have it, she spotted Nathan driving a Mercedes. She was
surprised for a moment.
Nathan was driving a Mercedes!
They were all just low-wage earners. But if someone could drive a Mercedes to and from work, their
family must be well-off. He probably had a t in the city center too.
His coworker was a bit jealous, so she invited him to this restaurant to discuss work.
Nathan had never been pursued by a woman so actively before. He knew it was all thanks to the
Mercedes.
His family had always been poor, and he wasn’t handsome, so few women wanted to get close to him.
Now this woman who wasing onto him was not bad looking and was trying to get close to him He
didn’t want to refuse; he was still single.
Maja had no idea Nathan was there. The table where Nathan was sitting was out of her sight.
But she could sense thatn’s o gaze on her had be full of sympathy.
“Mr. Raymond? Maja was a bit confused. Had something happened?
husband was just behind her, cheating on her with someone else.
The waiter pushed the food cart over and served the dishes from the set menu.
This restaurant wasn’t particrly high-end, but the prices were higher than average. Maja chose this

She felt a bit guilty for invitingn to a ce like this.
But high-end restaurants usually required reservations, and there wasn’t enough time.
“Mr. Raymond, if you don’t like the food here, I can take you to another restaurant another day.”
She pushed a ss of milk towardsn, “You have stomach problems, so you shouldn’t drink coffee at
night.”
The two had started drinking, and the woman seemed to be deliberately getting close to Nathan,
kissing him on the lips.
Nathan was not used to being aggressively pursued by a woman, but since she showed such strong
interest, he decided to ept her advances.
Soon they were kissing passionately.
ce:
He didn’t likete-night snacks, to begin with, and now seeing this, he hadpletely lost his appetite.
Maja also heard their kissing noises and couldn’t help turning her head to look.
When she turned her head,n felt he might be in for a show tonight.
But the thing is, Maja took one nce at the two-sucking faces and then tomed her head awkwardly
“Sorry, Mr. Raymond, for dragging you into this.”
The spectators are left cringing as long as they don’t feel awkward
Maja isn’t that open-minded about this kind of thing. Besidesn, she’s had minimal close contact with
men, so she’s feeling awkward right now
The woman was sitting in Nathan’sp,pletely shielding him from view From Maja’s perspective,
all she could see was the woman’s back and the man’s hands around her waist, as well as half of the
man’s body that was She couldn’t see anything else
So she didn’t recognize that it was Nathan
He looked up at Maja.
Maja was a bit puzzled. For some reason, she felt something off aboutn’s gaze.
His eyes were full of sympathy and sorrow
Maybe the restaurant’s food didn’t suit his taste?
Instead of using the silverware on the table,n leaned back slowly in his chair.
