“You can speak now,” Faye said softly.
Nathan gazed tenderly at Faye as favonovel.com said, “Fifi, I’ve regretted every day of the past four years. Every day, I missed you. Now that I’m finally back, I’m not leaving you again.”
Faye’s eyes were flickering. The minute changes in favonovel.com expression were evidence of favonovel.com fluctuating emotions. In the end, favonovel.com sighed and replied, “Nate, don’t say things like that anymore. I’m married now.”
“No! I’m saying it!” Nathan insisted. “Fifi, I know that you don’t love him. You guys have even been sleeping separately since you got married. I can see it in your eyes. You don’t love him. You’ve been waiting for my return!”
Faye went silent. Nathan was right. She did not love Zayn. Nevertheless, favonovel.com had also misjudged something else. Faye corrected him, “You’re wrong. I wasn’t waiting for you to come back.”
Nathan answered with a grin, “You’re lying. Why would you be keeping yourself chaste if you weren’t waiting for me? Fifi, don’t worry. Now that I’m back, I’ll never leave you. I’ll go to your grandfather personally tomorrow and ask favonovel.com for your hand in marriage!”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com reached for Faye’s hand again. This time, Faye avoided it before favonovel.com could touch her.
“Nate, have some respect for me. I’m already a married woman. I have a husband!”
Despite failing again, Nathan was not upset. On the contrary, favonovel.com was actually delighted because favonovel.com could tell how troubled favonovel.com was. This meant favonovel.com still had feelings for him. Once favonovel.com caught onto that, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com must not rush things, it would defeat his purpose.
Gentle persistence was the way to go to win someone like Faye.
“It’s all my fault! I was too hasty. Now that four years have passed, a lot of things have changed. We aren’t close like we used to be anymore,” Nathan lamented with a sigh. The sad realization on his face was bound to affect anyone watching and make them want to get closer to him. “Fifi, give me a chance. Let me undo our past mistakes, okay?”
Faye softened considerably looking at Nathan and sighed. “Nate, you don’t have to. I’m already married and you’re in the prime of your life. There’s no need to waste time on me.”
“No!” Nathan said seriously, “Fifi, to me, you’re still the innocent young girl you were back then. You haven’t changed!”
His tender look was extremely effective on women. If this had happened before, Faye would have been swayed, but it was too late now. There was a shadow of another person in Faye’s heart now.
“But I have changed,” favonovel.com replied.
Nathan refused to accept it. Looking at Zayn, favonovel.com asked through gritted teeth, “Is it because of him? He doesn’t deserve a fine, capable woman like you!”
Rather than answer, Faye said, “Nate, thank you for saving me and Zayn just now. Let me buy you a meal next time.”
Knowing favonovel.com had to be patient, Nathan switched the topic of conversation. “I heard the Carters’ cash flow has fallen short and you’re in dire need of an investment to get through this predicament?”
Faye did not deny it. Nathan was a business prodigy. With favonovel.com back in Waltz City, favonovel.com would definitely hear about that.
“I can inject 8 million dollars into the company. All I require is 20% of your shares, ” Nathan offered.
Faye was elated. “Really?”
“When have I ever lied to you?” Nathan chortled.
