Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 63

Nacy narrowed her eyes and sneered. 'Here comes a foxtail!' she disdainfully thought.

"Eve," Nathan greeted her. Grinning, his features mellowed at the sight of her.

Nacy instinctively held Nathan's arm with her eyes full of hostility. She never liked Eve since their childhood. She had unfavorable impressions of her. Having had confidence in her sixth sense, she always felt that Eve was hollow and deceptive.

"You are also here, Nacy," Eve acknowledged softly. Despite her knowing Nacy hated her, she was helpless and could do nothing about it. After all, Nacy was Nathan's favorite cousin. And she couldn't afford to go against her right now. 'Perhaps, our relationship would be better soon after I married Nathan, ' she thought.

"Yes," Nacy responded coldly with her usual chilly and distant courtesy.

"Nacy, I have heard that your new movie will be coming out next month. I wish you a big box office hit! Congratulations in advance!" Eve babbled aloud as she smiled generously. She did not change her attitude even though Nacy was treating her coldly and distant. But instead, she made her more dignified and graceful with her words.

"Thank you," Nacy replied curtly, looking rather impatient.

Nathan was never fond of this kind of scene. He quickly turned to Simon and grunted, "I have something to tell you, buddy."

Simon appeared to realize something and readily agreed, "Okay, let's go over there. I haven't talked to you for a long time."

They eased their way towards the brightly lit yard.

The mansion of Ye Family was luxurious in every essence. Johnson, Simon's father, had a deep affinity with mountains and rivers. So the unique style of their mansion manifested his love of nature. It was patterned resembling mountains and rivers. And it even had an artificial waterfall in the courtyard that looked realistic. Indeed the mansion had the vibe of a natural resort.

"Why did you invite them at the same time?" Nathan skeptically raised as he put down the champagne and sank himself into the firm cushion of the lounge chair, resting his arms crossly behind his neck.

The starry sky in the summer night never failed in mesmerizing him. Gazing up into the heavens, the stars in the sky glittered like jewels against the midnight backdrop. Soon Nathan became too engrossed with it, that unknowingly his thoughts went far.

"The more, the merrier," Simon explained, chuckling.

"Next time, don't invite them to your home at the same time. I can't bear it." What annoyed Nathan the most was when Nacy and Eve were together, and they didn't get along well with each other. He hated the drama.

"Nathan, whether you like it or not, you have to learn to get used to it. Sooner or later, you have to deal with the relationship between your wife and your sister in the future," Simon laughed as he crossed his long slender legs. He watched Nathan in front of him with an amused expression on his face.

"You brat, don't you know that you have nothing else to do?" The moment Nathan blurted those words out, something dawned on him, as if it was a late realization. Darting a glance at Simon, he finally understood that his cousin was only trying to be mean to him.

Simon just laughed heartily, depriving him of an explanation.

The two men continued to lay in the courtyard and stared at the stars for a while, unmoving. Simon, who became suddenly serious, broke the silence. Devoid of any expression, he began, "Nathan, it's time for you to forget her after all these years."

Nathan heard it. His face became somber and sad. Of course, he knew who she was!

Like a sharp knife blade, the girl's name could hurt his heart deeply. Nathan couldn't take that name off his mind, and for all these years, it kept on haunting him!

A tinge of pity clouded his black eyes. And with a self-deprecating smile, he opened his thin and cold lips while shaking his head.

"If she's still alive, I would have a home now!" Nathan sounded forlorn. There was a trace of sadness that appeared in his eyes, which he rarely displayed. Only when someone had mentioned that girl's name, would he show such a sad expression.
