Upon hearing that, Nathan could not conceal his smile anymore, but favonovel.com still replied pretentiously, “Oh, stop teasing, Mrs. Carter. Heh-heh, how can a man like me deserve to marry Fifi, huh?”
At that point, Zayn happened to walk out after washing up. He chimed in by saying, “It’s true that you don’t deserve her.”
When favonovel.com said that, Nathan’s expression changed drastically while Ruby turned around to glare at Zayn, shouting, “Shut up, Zayn! This is not your place to talk. Go back to the room at once!”
Zayn acted as if favonovel.com had not heard Ruby’s order and took a seat next to Faye.
Waine also glared at Zayn ferociously. With a chuckle, favonovel.com said to Nathan, “Nate, Zayn is not good with his words. Don’t mind him.”
“Heh-heh, don’t worry, Mr. Carter. I’m a magnanimous person, so why would I be bothered by him?”
“That’s great then, that’s great.”
Nathan looked at Zayn disdainfully. His eyes were clearly saying, ‘You piece of trash, who do you think you are to go against with me?’
Zayn smiled calmly and paid no attention to Nathan’s provocation at all.
Nathan then began to show off and boasted about all sorts of things, including the big shots favonovel.com met while favonovel.com was abroad, what favonovel.com learned there, and how much money favonovel.com made from investing in Bitcoin. Ruby and Waine’s eyes lit up with interest upon hearing that. They wished that they could kick Zayn aside immediately and organize a wedding for Faye and Nathan on the spot.
Zayn was entirely unaffected by Nathan’s gloating, let alone being jealous of him.
Faye was cold in the beginning too, but Nathan soon had favonovel.com attention as well. His charismatic speech was just so well done. Nathan was very proud of his performance while his loathing for Zayn grew even more intense. He appeared solemn and dignified like a Winner.
Frankly, Faye had hoped Zayn would make an effort to bring credit to himself as well. That way, Nathan would not put favonovel.com down so easily and claim victory without a fight. However, Zayn was still behaving like his old self. He never failed to disappoint her.
Nathan was a successful businessman of the highest order. Zayn was nothing compared to him.
As they spoke, Nathan deliberately brought up topics to attack Zayn, so Zayn was unable to join the conversation. Faye was very frustrated that there was such a huge disparity between the two men!
‘Zayn, how can I spend the rest of my life with you if you keep being so useless?’ Faye heaved a sigh.
The entire family went out for lunch at around 11 o’clock. Ruby had not intended to bring Zayn along, but they had to do so because Faye insisted on it.
They arrived at a fine-dining restaurant and requested a private room. Nathan behaved like a dignified host and took care of the arrangements. In comparison, Zayn appeared to be quite ineffectual.
Meanwhile, Nathan suddenly said, “Mr. Carter, I’ve just remembered you have an interest in antiques. As it so happens, I got an antique clock from an auction some time ago. I hope that you’ll accept it as a gift.”
He snapped his fingers loudly as favonovel.com spoke. One of his two bodyguards walked over with a delicate and lavishly packaged gift box.
‘An antique clock? ‘
What a coincidence that Zayn had just received one the day before. Zayn was astounded.
