Chapter 824 I Want To Marry Nathan

"Milla, why don't you come over here. I'm serious. Just take this opportunity to relax, okay?" Mandy offered, frowning. She could tell from Milla's tone that something was wrong as if she was capable of doing something stupid at any given moment.

Shaking her head, Milla then closed her suitcase, ready to leave. "No. Thank you, Mand. I appreciate it, though."

"Milla," Mandy pressed, wanting to say more.

Milla faintly smiled as she said in a light tone, "I have to hang up now. Let's talk again when we're free."

"Hey! Milla! Please listen to me..."

Before Mandy could finish what she was going to say, Milla had already hung up the call. When she tried calling Milla again, her phone was already turned off.

Mandy sighed helplessly, still in a daze. When she checked WeChat moments again, she found that Leo hadn't updated his account for more than two months. It looked like Leo wasn't active in the first place. Perhaps, he was like Nathan, who didn't care much for showing his life to others on social media.

Mandy and Leo were just regular friends. Ever since Adrian had fallen ill, she didn't have the energy to get herself involved in other people's affairs.

'Maybe, someday, we'll see each other again. I believe in fate, after all, Milla, ' Mandy thought to herself.

While she couldn't be sure if Milla would even open her WeChat again, she still sent her a message. It read: "Milla, I know you're sad. You must be heartbroken, and I understand. Just know that time can heal everything. It's okay if you want to rest. Remember that I'm always here. You have a friend in me."

Since Eve returned to the Su Family, she spent almost every day at home. She spent her days focused on reading, her fitness training, and her skin care.

Shaun had asked her if she wanted a job at the bank, but she refused. After all, he was managing the bank. She figured if she were to get a job at the bank, she wouldn't be doing much anyway. She'd rather stay at home where she could do whatever she wanted.

However, Eve did not voice this. Instead, she claimed that she preferred staying at home where she could re

nded bags that cost a measly 3, 000 dollars—discontentment filled her heart.

Conflicts began to plague their relationship. Since Claire's boyfriend was a doctor, he was often in contact with all kinds of people, including female patients. He was handsome, and many women had chased after him. In one instance, Claire came to visit him at the hospital and happened to catch him chatting with a woman in the office. In her anger, she spat, "You didn't reply to my message. Looks like it was because you were busy talking to this woman here."

After this incident, they fought for an entire week.

Eventually, Claire's boyfriend apologized to her. However, she had gone to a charity party with her friend and that was where she met Shaun.

At that time, Shaun was in his prime. He was just under 40 years old, and his business was rapidly growing. He was handsome and successful—the perfect bachelor. That night, he had drank a lot while Claire pretended to be drunk. Her friend then helped set up Claire and Shaun. They ended up sleeping together that same night.

When morning broke, Shaun woke up very regretful. He had drank too much and had slept with a woman he had just met.

Claire's friend advised Claire to leave quietly. She didn't pester him, not even asking for any money. After this, she deliberately planned opportunities for them to meet again. That was how she got Shaun to fall in love with her.
