Chapter 185


    Mnie was anxious. They had arrived for quite some time, but Eloise was not there


    “It’s all rightI’m sure she’ste because there’s something she needs to attend to first,”


    Nathanielforted her in a soft voice. However, he was not confident in his mother’s


    attendance, either.


    After all, Eloise did not want to meet Mnie, and Nathaniel was the one who insisted on this


    meet-up


    Just as he was about to leave the private room to make a call, the door opened, revealing


    Eloise’s personal assistant. Once Eloise entered the room, her assistant left and closed the


    door to be on the watch outside.

    Eloise wore a gray Chanel suit, and her hair was recently permed. With just a nce, Mnie


    could recognize Eloise’s earrings and bracelet. They were both from thetest jewelry collection


    this year. She felt envious of Eloise.


    Even though Eloise was a middle-aged woman, she only looked around thirty-five years old


    because of her skincare routine for the past decades. She maintained her figure and


    appearance well, too. At that moment, Mnie wished Eloise would publicly acknowledge


    Nathaniel as her son. She could not help but feel disappointed at this thought.


    Unfortunately, Nathaniel was the son Eloise had with her ex-husband. That meant she could not


    acknowledge him as her son in public, and he could inherit none of her wealth. If Nathaniel had


    been Eloise’s sessor, Mnie would not have risked her life and gotten involved with Frank.


    She only did that so she could have another option in life.

    “Mom,” Nathaniel went over and greeted Eloise at the door. Then he turned to Mnie. “Mel,


    come here.”


    “This is Mnie. I’ve told you about her before,” he said as he circled his arm around Mnie’s


    waist.


    Eloise nced briefly at Mnie as a greeting. After removing her zer, she sat at the table,


    picked up her cutlery set, and ate. She was a picky eater and had high standards for food. The


    dishes served by this restaurant suited her taste and provided great privacy for their


    customers. Hence, Eloise often met up with Nathaniel here.


    It had always been the two of them all these years, and today was the first time someone else


    joined them.


    “Mom. How are you doingtely?” Nathaniel followed suit and sat down. The first thing he did


    was express his concern for Eloise. “I heard you bought over anotherpany. Hudson’s


    health isn’t in the best condition, so I’m sure you’ve been tired.”


    Eloise was eating her food with elegance. After taking another bite, she said casually, “You


    don’t need to worry about all that.”


    “Yeah! Mom, I know you’re a strong woman, and you’d be able to handle anything. I want to


    thank you for helping with mypany’s matters. If not for you, I never would have figured out


    the solution.”


    Mnie was shocked by how Nathaniel thanked his mother. It was customary for Mnie to


    be nervous, but she did not expect Nathaniel to feel the same way.


    He spoke so formally with his mother and was so polite that it was clear they were not close to


    each other. This was not how a son usually talked to his mother but how a subordinate would


    report to his boss.


    Eloise stopped eating and ced her cutlery down. She then took out a piece of tissue to wipe


    the corners of her mouth before crumpling it and throwing it on the table.


    “Nate, you handled this matter poorly.”


    “Yes, I admit my mistakes. I‘ve been too careless, which allowed Lily to tamper with the form.


    This tiny mistake almost cost thepany…”

    Before he finished his words, Eloise interrupted, “No, that’s not what I was referring to. I meant


    to say you handled your romantic rtionships poorly.
