Urgh!
Grace immediately felt awkward.
This Mr. Cross really doesn't follow the usual rules!
Normally when someone hears something like that, they would say something like, "It's fine. Go ahead and ask.” But instead, I was told that I shouldn't ask!
Could it be because he knows what I'm going to ask?
Nathan knew that Grace was just curious about his identity. But he didn't like to show off, so he stopped her with one sentence.
Grace was a Doctor of Medicine. Her IQ and EQ were beyond all doubts.
With Nathan's attitude, she knew that he was clearly telling her - 'If I don't say anything, don't ask'.
So Grace could only suppress her curiosity and give up on asking Nathan about his
identity.
In the backseat, Anthony Hampton's eyes were darting around.
This is the second time Nathan has helped me!
In his eyes, Nathan was simply an unparalleled nobleman with power and wealth. He was basically Anthony's ideal son-in-law.
He didn't have a son, and Grace was his only daughter. Hence, he dreamt to have his daughter be married to an unparalleled nobleman like Nathan. This way, he could become wealthy through his daughter.
He darted his eyes around and finally said softly, "Mr. Cross, I have a question for you."
Nathan furrowed his brows. Why does this father-daughter duo have so many questions?
Nonetheless, he said calmly, "What is it?'
"Is it true that you already have a wife?" asked Anthony.
"Yes. Her name's Penny Smith. You've met her before."
Nathan was confused. What is this guy really up to?
