Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 1803

Nathan mentioned Felix's name and glanced cautiously towards Carol's direction to gauge her reaction.

Carol simply arched an eyebrow before taking a sip of her soup.

Fiona, sitting nearby, was still trying to coax her, “Carol, you really should try this, it's delicious and Nathan swears by its beauty benefits.”

Though Nathan was often unremarkable, flirtatious around women, he had been pretty decent to his sister over the years.

Carol took another bite of the slow-cooked peach pork, feeling utterly content. She was even beginning to wish she didn't have to leave.

Upon hearing those words, she hung up.

Nathan had overheard the conversation and knew she was about to leave, feeling a pang of regret.

Carol stood up, grabbing her bag from the side, “Sorry for intruding today.”

Nathan hurried after her, “Let me drive you.”
