When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1781


    Chapter 1781 Growing Interest


    “What did you think?” Nathaniel asked.


    “Nothing.” I deliberately averted my eyes from his eager ones, pretending not to realize that he was


    starting to be interested in me.


    As if he had been humiliated, Nathaniel questioned, “Did you think that I can’t read your mind?”


    “So you can read my mind?” Despite knowing that he was warning me, I amped up my ridiculous act


    and leaned closer to him. Resting my chin on my hand, I continued, “But so what? The better you know


    my aim, the faster you’ll realize not to keep this up, right?”


    ording to the rules of the game, Nathaniel could not stop me even if he knew that everything I did


    was to test his limits.


    Falling for someone was akin to a moth flying toward the me. Even if one knew that a pit of fire


    awaited them, they would still jump down.


    After hearing my words, Nathaniel narrowed his eyes. The fire in his eyes slowly faded away, and what


    reced the angry look was a mysterious smile.


    However, secondster, his expression changed again—this time, his face was devoid of emotions.


    “That’s right. Interesting. You’re making me see you in a new light.”


    “Can I assume that means you’re starting to get interested in me?” I asked with a smile.


    After briefly studying me, he lowered his eyes and left the room silently.


    Is he too annoyed to exin, or does he not want to admit to what he’s feeling?


    Confidence still coursing in my vein, I decided that thetter was likelier.


    My stay in the hospitalsted for a week. Nathaniel came to visit me almost every day, but he had


    be much more cautious. Other than watching me finish the food he brought to me, he did nothing


    else.


    It seemed like he was determined to make us partners in a game instead of two people with a budding


    rtionship like the start. It was as if he was trying to numb and remind himself we were only ying a


    game.


    My discharge from the hospital was an abrupt one. I informed no one but Millie about it.


    There was no one in the house at all. The silence amplified the sense of loneliness, and I could not


    help but think about the memories in this house. In fact, I could remember everything that happened in


    every corner of this house—Ashton ying action figures with Audrey, Gregory using hisptop on the


    couch, and Audreying up with all kinds of ways to mess with Shaun.


    All of those things felt like they had just happened the day before, but in the blink of an eye, they were


    all gone.


    Nathaniel was to me.


    “You shouldn’t overexert yourself right after your discharge from the hospital. Do sit down,” Millie


    reminded.


    At that, I took in a deep breath to calm myself down and nodded before letting her help me to the couch


    in the living room.


    After sitting down, I took out my phone and tapped into my conversation with Nathaniel. I then tossed


    the phone to Millie.


    “Compose the message with my style and send him my schedule bit by bit today.”


    Millie did not know what was going on, but she did not ask any questions before taking the phone and


    doing as I said.


    Less than a minuteter, she threw the phone back to me. “Done.”


    I leaned back on the couch, not wanting to even open my eyes to catch the phone. Instead, I slowly


    moved my hand around to search for the phone. Just as I found it, the phone buzzed.


    A nce at the screen told me that Nathaniel had returned the message.


    Nathaniel: I’m not interested in these boring things.


    Millie sent two messages. “I’m out of the hospital” and “I’ve reached home.”


    True disinterest was to not reply instead of returning an annoyed message like Nathaniel had done so.


    The mere act of him returning the message told me what I needed to know.


    Without spending too long mulling over it, I texted back: Is that so? I thought you’d want to know what


    I’m doing.


    Two minutester, no replies came back from him. Perhaps he was fuming from how I had read his


    mind.


    That was what I wanted.

    There was no reason for me to suffer the pain of having my family separated while he enjoyed the time


    of his life. After all, karma was always waiting around the corner.


    After rposing myself, I then decided to find out more news about Ashton through Holden.


    Although thetter might not reject lending me a hand to avoid crossing Nathaniel, money was what


    made the world go around. I was certain that there would be no deal he would not take up as long as


    what he was going to get was good.
