"Are you guys heading out?" His answer was completely off topic from Damon's question. It was clear he didn't want them meddling in his affairs.
"Have you been to the hospital yet?"
Nathan gave a small smile. "Yeah, we flew over there."
It had only been about an hour since they had lunch. If he really had been to the hospital, even a simple check-up would've taken a while. It was impossible he could be here now. Anyone with half a brain could tell he was bullshitting.
Damon's expression darkened. "What happened?"
"Nothing."d2
"Get out."
Nathan sat in the car all along. Damon asked him a question, and he responded with just one answer. His face couldn't be seen, and neither could his expression. Even though they were brothers, it was clear Damon was pissed.
Nathan was silent for a moment, then finally got out of the car. In the cold winter, he wore only a grey shirt with noticeable creases. Two buttons were undone at the collar, revealing his muscular chest. He exuded a masculine and wild aura, but in this weather, it was simply chilling to look at.
Upon seeing this, Damon's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Where's Yulia?"
Nathan glanced at him. Damon’s eyes seemingly piercing through everything, leaving Nathan with nowhere to hide. In this world, the person who probably knew him best was Damon. They had grown up together, and coupled with Damon's ability to see through everything, Nathan couldn't fake anything. He licked his lips and calmly said, "She's at home."
Damon fell silent. Although Nathan was his brother, he still didn't quite understand the situation between Yulia and Nathan, other than the fact that Yulia was always by Nathan's side, and she seemed very obedient to him.
However, if something unpleasant had indeed happened between them, he was certain that Nathan was the one at fault. He said coldly, "Since you decided to marry her in the first place, you better be clear about what you should do. Men of the Harper family don't shirk responsibility, and they're not the kind who mistreat women. If you have any unresolved issues, you should let her go sooner rather than later. Don't waste her time, if you can't do it, there are other men who will treat her right."
Damon's words stoked the anger in Nathan's heart. When he heard 'other men', the faces that flashed in his mind were all of Ronald. If he wasting her time, would Ronald treat her well then?
If he really wanted to treat her well, why did he give Yulia a chance to leave back then?
He scoffed. "That's impossible. Damon, you just need to take care of your wife. Don't worry about me."
Damon gave him a cold stare, then turned around and shoved the puzzled Chloe into the car. Then he turned to Nathan and said, "I'm warning you, if you keep messing around like this, you'll regret it someday. I don't want to meddle, but there will be someone who won't let you off."
With that, he opened the driver's seat door and got in. The car slowly drove past Nathan, leaving him standing alone in the cold wind, looking stern and resolute.
Chloe had been watching Nathan through the rear-view mirror, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Will he be okay?" she asked.
Damon glanced at Nathan still standing in the same spot through the rear-view mirror, his voice cold. "He's fine."
