Chapter 1802


    Nathan couldn''t help but feel a twinge of envy towards Felix, but had to admit that the guy had some


    serious chops.


    Especially when it came to negotiations - he had a presence that could go toe-to-toe with President


    Miller himself.


    He remembered the time Felix was gambling like his life depended on it. Back then, it was to pay for


    Listina''s medical bills. Felix tried everything under the sun, and somehow, he always managed to


    come out on top.


    Now, overseeing the vast empire of the Miller Group, Felix was still in his element. Despite the


    workload, he had everything running like a well-oiled machine.


    At the thought of this, Nathan''s spirits fell a notch. Carol didn''t just fancy Felix for no reason. Unlike


    himself, who was fairlypetent, but that was just among regr Joes.


    "Nathan, if Carol ever asks you something, don’t spill the beans, okay?"


    Nathan was puzzled. What would Carol ask him about?


    "I''m gonnae byter and pack up the gifts I gave Fiona. I''ll get her something better."


    Nathan had suspected those gifts were from Carol. Now Carol was here and Felix wasing over


    tonight?


    A wave of guilt washed over him, "What time you think you''ll swing by?"


    "Around midnight. Got meetings till then."


    Nathan breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, I''ll box up the stuff. You nning on returning them to Ms.


    Miller? No offense, but I think it''s good that you''re keeping it strictly business with her. Felix,


    Listina''s been waiting for you. Don''t let her down; otherwise, your folks would be disappointed."


    When Felix''s mom had taken that tragic leap, she''d made Felix promise to take care of Listina, to


    make her happy. It was like the Brown family owed a debt to the Geo family.


    Felix was paying off that debt, and he did it without any regrets because he cared for Listina. He''d


    always thought they''d end up married. But now, Nathan''s words stung, as if Felix''s feelings had


    shifted.


    Nathan probed further, "The wedding in two weeks, you really going through with it? What if Listina


    does something rash? Felix, you don''t love Carol. Maybe it''s just because she was your first, and


    you''ve mistaken that for love. Anyway, you better think it over. You''ve known Listina for years, but


    Carol? Just a short while."


    Felix was silent on the other end.

    Nathan wasn''t sure if he was genuinely concerned for Listina or if he just didn''t want Felix and Carol


    together. Maybe it was a bit of both, but he’d said his piece.


    Hanging up, he turned to Carol who was sitting on the couch, head slightly tilted, idly flipping


    through a book on the coffee table.


    It was Fiona''s storybook, and Carol was chatting with her. Fiona looked delighted; seemed that she


    liked Carol.


    Carol smiled to her, eyes crinkling with joy, which hit Nathan like a moonbeam suddenly illuminating


    him.


    He gripped the spat tightly, a decision forming in his heart.


    Two hourster, dinner was ready. Usually, when he ate with his sister, they''d make do with the


    coffee table, never bothering with the folding dining table.


    But today, he meticulously set it up, even sanitized it, and cleaned off some long-unused stools


    before inviting Carol, "Ms. Miller, dinner''s ready."


    Carol had barely stepped foot in the kitchen except for the times she''d cooked with Felix, so she


    expected Nathan to serve up the meal.


    Fiona, a bit shy, didn''t talk much to strangers, but she liked Carol enough to encourage her, "Carol,


    my brother''s a great cook. You should try some more."


    Carol held no ill will towards the little girl. She picked up her fork and tried a shrimp. She preferred


    jumbo shrimp, but Nathan''s were just regr prawns. Still, thanks to Nathan''s skill, she enjoyed a


    few.


    Recently, she hadn''t had much of an appetite and had lost weight.


    To her own surprise, she finished two bowls of rice, "Who taught you to cook?"


    Nathan blushed slightly, "Worked a stint as a chef back in the day. Later figured that gig wasn’t for


    me, so I moved on to corporate life."


    Eager to impress Carol, he quickly added, "Plus, Felix picked up a thing or two from me when


    Listina was being picky. He''s not half bad himself."


    No wonder she recognized something familiar in the taste.
