Chapter 262 Do You Like Me?
The three of them turned around at the same time.
As soon as J saw Nathaniel, the smile on her face disappeared.
Nathaniel showed his great figure in a ck suit. His legs were long and straight. With a tie, he
looked extremely decent andposed.
However, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were as cold as a pool of winter
water.
Ernest and Orville changed their expressions as well. They stared at
Nathaniel in disgust, as if they saw someone annoying.
“What are you doing here?” J was propped up in bed casually, looking at
Nathaniel with an indifferent face.
Nathaniel felt extremely unhappy as J treated him totally differently from
Ernest and Orville. She had been joking with them.
He held back his displeasure and other feelings, walking to Orville with a
straight face.
As Nathaniel was a little taller than Orville, he looked down at Orville from
above. All of a sudden, he reached out and grabbed the pocket watch in
Orville’s hand.
Orville opened his eyes wide and tried to grab it back.
Nathaniel fiddled with the pocket watch. With the sapphire on the watch shining faintly in his hand, he s
eemed to be more noble and unrevealing. In addition to the sneer on his face, he looked intimidating.
Although he had a pretty appearance, one wouldn’t have a good impression of him when
hearing him speak. “I’m curious about what a beautiful pocket

watch looks like.”
In an instant, J wore a sullen look and looked at Nathaniel with a hint of
mockery.
She found it funny since it was the first time she heard Nathaniel praise her
things.
Unlike her, Orville was angry at Nathaniel’s mocking tone. In particr, the
pocket watch was the only gift J had given her.
He could no longer remain calm and tried to snatch the watch from
Nathaniel’s hand. However, he failed as thetter raised his hand.
Nathanielughed at Orville, “Mr. Southey, what’s wrong? Isn’t it just a pocket
watch? Why are you so anxious? I just want to take a look.”
With a gloomy face, Orville said straightforwardly, “I value it deeply. I can’t
bear to part with it. Are you unsatisfied with it?”
Nathaniel was lost for words for a while. He looked at Orville in disbelief.
Ernestughed out loud when seeing Nathaniel’s startled and dark
expression. He made fun of Nathaniel and wasn’t afraid of annoying
Nathaniel at all.
J worked hard to hold back herughter. It was because the wound on
her stomach would hurt if sheughed loudly.
Orville looked up at Nathaniel and curled his lips up in ridicule. He shot
daggers at Nathaniel. “The pocket watch is mine. Give it back to me.”
The smile that shed in J’s eyes was caught by Nathaniel. Anger,
shame, and dissatisfaction arose from his heart at the same time. Nathaniel
said as his face turned gloomy, “Mr. Southey, here you are.”
Get Boje
Suddenly, Nathaniel released his hand, and the pocket watch fell straight to
the ground before anyone else could react.
Orville’s expression changed, and he had
no time to argue with Nathaniel anymore. He rushed to catch the pocket watch. He lost his bnce and
fell
to the ground by ident.
J sat up straight, and the smile on her face was reced by worry.
“Orville…”
“J, I caught it!”
Orvilley on the ground, holding up the pocket watch and looking at J
excitedly. He was happy even though his expensive suit was stained and
wrinkled.
As soon as Orville’s innocent face came into her sight, J’s heart sank.
She had nned to give the pocket watch to a collector. Surprisingly, it was
given to Orville by ident. She could tell how Orville cherished it.
Not only did Orville treasure it, but J also liked it. Otherwise, she wouldn’t
have used it as a return gift.
However, Nathaniel threw it out like a piece of trash.
What if Orville failed to catch the pocket watch? It would fall to the ground
and break into pieces.
It made sense. Nathaniel didn’t care if the watch would be ruined or not at
all.
She loved him deeply and did everything she could to please him for three
years. Nathaniel had never taken her seriously, let alone a pocket watch.
Get Bou
Nathaniel was rich enough to get whatever he liked. It was natural that he
thought lowly of Orville’s pocket watch.
J curled her lips in self–mockery.
Since J was depressed, Orville stepped forward and showed her the
pocket watch in his hand. Heforted her in a cheerful voice, “Look, it’s
fine. It’s not broken. I can protect it well.”
The pocket watch in Orville’s hand reminded J of how Nathaniel treated
her over the past three years. She let out a light breath and said to Ernest
and Orville, “Can you go out for a while?”
Orville had wanted to refuse, but he atst stopped as Ernest pulled his
sleeve.
Ernest knew that J wanted to talk with Nathaniel alone. He was
confident in her. Since she had the courage to divorce Nathaniel and cut off
her rtionship with him back then, she wouldn’t change her mind and be
together with him anymore.
Ernest cast a nce at J before pulling the reluctant Orville out of the
ward.

Moreover, Ernest ordered the servant, who was responsible for taking care of
J, to leave as well. Soon, there were only J and Nathaniel in the
ward.
Just as the door was closed, it became deadly silent in the ward.
“What are you trying to say? Are you ming me for throwing away that
pocket watch?” Nathaniel asked J with a serious face.
Without a word, J sat on the bed and fixed her eyes on Nathaniel. It
seemed that she had met him for the first time.
Nathaniel frowned slightly, noticing that J was in a bad mood. He took a few steps closer, “What’s
wrong?”
What did she want to say?
J had never looked at Nathaniel so calmly.
She was desperate to gain his heart and thought herself inferior to him over the past three years. After
they separated, she could hardly suppress the resentment and hatred in her heart whenever she saw h
im.
It was the first time she had scrutinized Nathaniel like this.
“Nathaniel, do you like me?” J asked suddenly.
