The game was not fully downloaded yet, but the call from the restaurant had already sounded. Nathan had a bigger appetite for food than games. He put down his phone, got up, and said, "Let's eat first. After that, I'll teach you how to play this game, and then we can team up."
"Alright."
Chloe smiled, put her phone aside, and joined the others in the dining room.
Nathan's way of eating was a sight to behold. The food looked so good, and while Chloe and the others were only halfway through their portions, he had already polished off two.
But then again, he was raised in the Harper family, and his every move exuded a unique elegance. He ate fast, but it didn't come off as crude. Instead, it was quite enjoyable to watch.
The fact that he ate fast couldn't be overlooked, and Yulia couldn't help but advise, "You should eat slower, otherwise you might have digestion problems."d2
Nathan glanced at her, leaned back in his chair, and gave a satisfied chuckle. "No worries, a little exercise will take care of that."
His words sounded innocent enough, but they made Yulia's heart skip a beat and her fork tremble slightly. Everyone present was married, and although he wasn't wrong, it didn't mask the double meaning behind his words.
Chloe and Rose burst into laughter simultaneously. "Well, in that case, make sure you eat your fill. Wouldn't want to run out of energy during your, ahem, 'workout' and get hurt."
Rose said, and Yulia, who had just taken a mouthful of food, choked and started coughing. At this moment, there was no need to consciously hide her blush. She could finally blush openly and without restraint.
Chloe handed her a napkin and gently patted her on the back, "You okay?"
Yulia waved it off.
Seeing this, Rose couldn't help but chuckle. Chloe gave her a helpless look.
Nathan was sitting opposite, watching Yulia's reaction, a mischievous smile playing on his face. "Rose, you seem to know a lot. Any personal experience?"
This time it was Rose's turn to choke. "It's just common sense, okay."
Rose had never joked like this with a man before, and Nathan's question made her blush.
Everyone had their weaknesses. You can joke about others all you want, but how would you handle it when the tables were turned?
That was Rose. But Nathan's words stirred more than embarrassment in her. They brought a bitter taste to her mouth. Did she really have that much experience?
To others, she was married and pregnant. She had a husband, a child, and a seemingly perfect family. But in reality, she'd only been with a man once. Just once, and she was pregnant. It was a story straight out of a soap opera.
