    Chapter 1333 There’s Someone in My Heart


    "Do you believe him?" Halma asked.


    Olivia nodded. "I believe most of it, mainly because he didn''t have a reason to spend the night with


    another woman. He said that he was drunk, and that the woman helped him into the hotel, but he


    checked into a room alone."


    "Why did he check into a hotel instead of going home when he''s drunk?" Halma retorted. "And why was


    a woman who was interested in him the one helping him out? Even if this was a setup by his parents, if


    Nathan hadn''t given them the opportunity, a piece of news like this wouldn''t have made it into the


    headlines."


    "That''s why you have to listen to his rification," Olivia exined. "If he gives a reasonable


    exnation, you can forgive him, but if he gives an unclear answer, I''ll take care of him before you do.


    All in all, you can''t just cut offmunication with him without getting closure."


    "Olivia, I''m exhausted. Maybe we''re people from different worlds and forcing ourselves together is


    against Heaven''s will, which is why our rtionship is so turbulent. Or, perhaps I''m too timid. It''s also


    possible that my love for him has been depleted after all these obstacles," Halma confided.


    Olivia took her into her arms. "Don''t be sad anymore, okay? You did nothing wrong and it''s all that


    rascal''s fault. I gave him a good scolding today on your behalf, and if he can''t settle this matter


    properly, you can send him away as far as you want."


    Halma didn''t say anything and merely returned Olivia''s hug as tears rolled down her face silently.


    …


    Meanwhile, Nathan returned home and found Ace and Jade at home. Frankly, Ace was getting


    impatient and was more than ready to leave. s, he received a call from the Snow Family, who


    informed him that the viral news had been removed by someone. He couldn''t help but find it odd. So,


    he was in the midst of a discussion with Jade, trying to figure out just who the culprit was when Nathan


    made his appearance.


    Nathan''s face was grim, as though he was there to settle scores, and he approached his parents in


    large strides. "Why?"


    Even though it was a question that popped out of nowhere, Ace knew exactly what he meant. Still, he


    feigned ignorance and asked, "What do you mean? You didn''t even greet us aftering home and


    showed us such disrespect. Is this how you speak with me, your father?"


    Nathanughed yet there wasn''t even a hint of mirth in thatughter. "Oh, so you still remember that


    you''re my father. What a shock! It seems like you conveniently forgot that I''m your son when you set


    me up."


    Ace mmed his palm on the table heavily upon hearing such impudence. "Watch your attitude!"


    Nathan merely snorted disdainfully. "Compared to the things you guys did, I think I''m already treating


    you with more respect than you deserve. I came home today to tell you that I won''t marry Lexie Snow


    and we didn''t spend the night togetherst night. I''m sorry to disappoint you," he announced and


    turned to leave.


    Ace couldn''t help but choke on his rising fury and he almost suffocated under his ire. By the time he


    came back to his senses, he immediately sprang to his feet. "Hold it right there!"


    Nathan stopped in his tracks, tilted his head in Ace''s direction, and gave him a look of indifference. "I


    already told you that I have a girlfriend, and it''s none of my concern who you''re coborating with."


    "What nonsense are you spouting?" Ace snapped impatiently. "Why do you think your mother and I are


    so anxious to n ahead? It''s all because we want to build an empire for you. Nathan, you''re already


    twenty-three. Will you please grow up? It doesn''t matter who you like, but Lexie is the only one who


    can be your wife. Do you understand what I mean?"

    "No, I don''t understand!" Nathan snarled loudly. "Why can''t I marry someone I love? You guys are the


    ones who are interested in climbing the socialdder just for profit! Why bother packaging it with a


    pretty bow and im that you''re doing this for my sake? I''m not like you, I can''t separate my wants and


    needs! I will never be capable of sharing my love with different women!"


    Right after the words left his lips, a harsh pnded on his face.
