The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1221

"Back already? Why you've been hiding away?"

Nathan pushed the door open wider, inviting Jacob in, "Just been feeling a bit off lately, needed some time away to rest."

Jacob stepped inside.

"Dad mentioned he'd like you back home."

Nathan shook his head as he closed the door, "No thanks, I'm really not interested in the family business."

Jacob wasn't fond of Mila, but Nathan was the brother he’d watched grow up. He bore no ill will, quite the opposite, he actually wished Nathan would reconsider.

The Jarvis family always put a high value on blood ties, and his place within it was secure.

Nathan couldn't be swayed.

Besides, Nathan was talented.

The two brothers working together could definitely take the Jarvis family to new heights.

"If you ever change your mind, I could set you up in a prime department," Jacob said seriously. "But, just like I had to, you’d start from the bottom."

"No, thanks." Nathan poured him a cup of tea. "Bro, I really don't want to come back."

"I'm doing well in Imperial City, just wanted to come home and rest for a bit."

Nathan looked drained, and Jacob could tell something was off: "Trouble with love? Or is it work?"

The brothers sat down, and Nathan, not usually one to share, opened up.

"Kari got married."

Jacob knew about him and Kari, also knew they were never meant to last.

Jacob set his tea down, exhaling deeply, "Nan, you and Ms. Malone were never meant to be. She’s found her happiness, you should be happy for her."

Nathan couldn't find it in himself to offer those well wishes, "Bro, I still love her."

Their years together were the happiest of his life.
