"I'm already married!"
Suddenly, the room fell into silence. They all stared at Nathan in shock.
Chloe stood quietly on the side and smiled silently.
Elizabeth also turned her head to look at Nathan in surprise. "You..."
Nathan's sullen expression suddenly changed.
Damn it, what did tonight's party have to do with him? Why did he have to say this?
His ever-changing expression made Elizabeth's heart race. What kind of expression was that?! Was it real or fake?
As she was thinking about this, a rich lady chuckled.
"It seems we scared Nathan; he's even blurting out nonsense... Mrs. Harper just mentioned your marriage, you’re already married? Your mother wouldn't be in the dark, would she?"
Elizabeth didn't speak. She had the same thoughts. Maybe he was just cornered and came up with an excuse to fend off the crowd.
Seeing Elizabeth's disbelief, Nathan felt a sigh of relief.
However, there was still Chloe. If she actually went along with his story, providing him with some proof...
His scalp started to tingle. Nathan looked at Chloe and said lightly, "Actually, I'm not married yet, but I do have a girlfriend. And we do have the intention of getting married."
Chloe furrowed her brows, shooting him a meaningful glance. Their expressions seemed a bit off to the onlookers.
Elizabeth hadn't fully recovered from the suspicion that Nathan was already married when she heard him correct himself, saying, "I already have a girlfriend, and we do have the intention of getting married." This left her feeling completely puzzled.
She didn't quite believe he was married, but him having a girlfriend, that she could believe.
A girlfriend? That was great.
However, before she could celebrate, someone laughed and said, "You just mentioned that you were married, now you said you it was a girlfriend. Nathan, you still want to play the field for a few more years, eh? It's understandable, my son's the same. Why stick to one tree when you've got a whole forest..."
Upon hearing this, the joy on Elizabeth's face instantly faded. There was a real possibility that the kid was thinking that way.
Seeing Elizabeth's expression, Chloe arched an eyebrow, glanced at Nathan, and then slowly began to speak.
"Mom, actually when Nathan was talking about being married, he was... What are you doing?"
"I have something important to tell you."
Before Chloe could finish, Nathan interrupted her, pushing her away.
"Nathan..."
"Come outside with me!”
Watching their retreating figures, Sierra, who was just squeezed to the front, stomped her foot in frustration.
Wendy calmly turned her head and gave Elizabeth a glance, then she took Elizabeth's arm and smiled, saying, "Nathan and Chloe seem to get along very well. I've never seen Nathan so close with any other woman. It's really enviable. If someone didn't know, they might mistake Chloe for Nathan's girlfriend!"
As these words came out, the wealthy ladies around them exchanged knowing glances, making everyone uncomfortable.
