Chapter 211 Momentary Peace

Nathan and Bella chatted for a while before they left the ice cream shop and separated.

But before they go on their own ways, Nathan sets a date for the two of them to meet saying that it's to make up for the time that Bella wasted.

Something to note about is that, throughout the whole conversation, Bella did not ask or even show interest in what Nathan did in the time that he disappeared.

It seems like for her, as long as Nathan didn't speak of it to her, it doesn't have anything to do with her… even if it wasted her time.

Because of that, Nathan felt more guilty and also Bella earned a lot of positive points on him.

Anyway, Nathan went to his car and drove back home.

While on the road, Nathan said, "It's been quite an eventful day. In the morning I encountered a bizarre thing, my sculpture became a real person."

"Sigh… Then in the afternoon, I encountered a peculiar devil who is friendly to humans, fought with another devil, then I even talked with a real life Minotaur, and I even discovered a unique skill contained in the spark."

Thinking of all these, Nathan can't help but chuckle.

Since a few days ago, a lot of things have been happening and Nathan can also feel some sort of mental exhaustion.

That's why this time, Nathan decided that after he gets back home, he will rest for a long time.

Soon Nathan arrived at his house.

After parking his car, Nathan headed inside the house and saw the two kids in the living room with books and pencil in their hands.

"Hmm? Are you two studying?"

Hearing his voice, the two looked at him and smiled.

""Brother Nathan!""

The two cheerfully greeted him.

Walking up to them, Nathan saw that they were actually answering quizzes from a workbook.

He took a glance at it and saw that their answers were all perfect.

Nathan smiled and rubbed their head, "So you two are studying, huh. Keep up the good work. Do your best, I will reward you if you do well."

The siblings immediately got excited after hearing his words.

""Yes!""

Nathan left the two to continue what they were doing while he headed to the bathroom and took a quick shower.

Back in his room, Nathan is drying his hair with a towel while staring at the void.

"Sigh, I still have to wait for six more days before the system finishes upgrading."

Closing the system interface, Nathan hung the towel and sat down on the bed.

"I hope trouble won't come to me in the next few days. I just wanna rest for a while." He muttered,

Then at this time, Natalie's figure suddenly crossed his mind.

"Hmm, I wonder where that girl is. I haven't seen her since I came back."

Tok! Tok! Tok!

At this time, there was a sudden knocking sound from the door of the room.

"Brother?"

The voice of Natalie echoed from outside the room.

When Nathan heard that, he chuckled, "Speak of the devil and the devil comes."

He got up from the bed and opened the door, only to see Natalie outside, wearing an elegant red dress.

Because of Nathan suddenly opening the door, Natalie was startled.

"Ah, Brother, you're here!"

Nathan raised an eyebrow and said, "Yeah, I just got home."

Then he looked at the dress Natalie is wearing and commented, "You look good in that dress. Where did you get it?"

Hearing Nathan ask, Natalie smiled, "Hehe, this? I bought it with my money!"

A surprise look appeared on Nathan before it got replaced by happiness.

"Ooh! It seems like my sister has already earned her first bucket of gold, huh."

Saying that, Nathan gently rubbed Natalie's head and said, "That's good, I'm proud of you."

Natalie laughed stupidly while enjoying the comfort of Nathan's hand in her head.

After a while, Nathan stopped and headed to the topic.

"Anyway, why are you here?" Nathan curiously asked.

"Ah, that's right, I almost forgot."

A look of realization immediately appeared on Natalie's face.

Then with a pitiful expression, she looked at Nathan's eyes.

"Brother, can you accompany me to a party?"

Looking at the puppy eyes that Natalie was giving him, Nathan slightly laughed.

"From the way that you're dressed, it seems like you're attending a formal event tonight."

"Well, I can accompany you." Nathan promised.

"Really?! Yey!" Natalie immediately cheeres after getting confirmation from Nathan.

Watching her dance in excitement for a while, Nathan can't help but be happy in his heart seeing such an image of his sister.

After a while, Natalie recovered from her excitement but there was still a smile at the corner of her lips.

Nathan shook his head with a helpless smile on his face, then he looked at her again and asked,

"Where is this party anyway?"

Natalie did not answer his question, instead, she showed him a mysterious smile and said,

"Don't worry, it's not far."

After that, Natalie grabbed Nathan's hand and told him that they should start looking for something to wear to the event.

The two went to the mall and started shopping for some clothes such as suits and tuxedos of different designs as well as shoes and ties.

In Natalie's words, Nathan might not need a lot now, but it's not bad to stock up for the future.

By the time that they ended shopping, it was already 6 PM and the sun had already set.

They went back to their house and Natalie urged Nathan to start preparing.

Not long after, Nathan stood in front of a mirror while looking at his reflection.

Nodding, Nathan looked satisfied with his appearance.

He turned around and looked at Natalie who was also checking his outfit.

"So, what do you think?" He asked,

Natalie pondered for a while before she showed Nathan a big smile.

With a thumbs up, she said, "Hmm, you look good, brother!"

Nathan acted smug and said, "Hmph, of course, after all, I am your brother!"

There was a momentary silence before the two suddenly started laughing.
