The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 776

Kari paused mid-bite, "Regardless, she's your mother."

Nathan was reluctant to talk about the past, but Kari was the woman he planned to marry, and it didn't feel right to hide it from her.

He set down his fork and knife, "My mother was the other woman. When she gave birth to me, the original Mrs. Jarvis was still alive. Later, I was adopted into the Jarvis family."

Truth be told, the Jarvis family treated him well.

Even the son of the original Mrs. Jarvis, who was the eldest son of the family, Jacob Jarvis, had a special fondness for him.

The kinder they were to him, the more he despised his own origins.

Upon reaching adulthood, he left the Jarvis family.

After graduating from university, he started working with Isaac, and that lasted for almost a decade.

Mila had always hoped for his return, eager for him to compete with Jacob Jarvis, a notion he had no desire to entertain. The disagreement eventually led to a falling out, and they hadn't made contact for nearly five years.

It wasn't until Mila softened her stance that he gradually reestablished contact. But things never returned to the way they were.

With his upcoming wedding, Nathan had initially planned to only inform the Jarvis family. He hadn't expected Mila to disapprove, let alone show up in Imperial City.

Kari was surprised to learn of Nathan's background and put down her cutlery, "So, you and the eldest son of the Jarvis family..."

"My brother has always been good to me. He has never treated me poorly."

Nathan firmly believed that he and his mother were the cause of the original Mrs. Jarvis' misfortune.

They were the outsiders, yet they had disrupted Jacob's family, causing him so much distress.

Kari took his hand, "Nathan, don't blame yourself. This was not your fault."

"If I hadn't been born, maybe Mrs. Jarvis wouldn't have died."

Kari didn't agree, "Your father had an affair. You had nothing to do with it. Nathan, you have nothing to apologize for."

Nathan disagreed.

Being a child born out of wedlock was a sin in itself.

Their dinner was far from pleasant, and Kari didn't manage to fall asleep until well into the night.

The next morning, Kari received a call from Brittany, "I'm back in Imperial City. Let me know if you need anything."

Kari felt relieved, "Alright."
