Stella glared at him and then ignored him. He was still massaging both her legs, speeding up the blood circulation, which was good for her and the child inside her.
“Last night I didn’t go out with Carine, I just gave her a lift, but halfway there I told her to get out of the car. I wasn’t with her, and I went to the bar to accompany a client who came from the United States.”
“You’re lying,” Stella frowned. “Last night, Carine clearly picked up her phone and called me.”
Nathan’s face immediately darkened when he heard this.
“What did she say?”
“She said you were drunk and asked me to pick you up, but then said you didn’t want to, that she would take you somewhere else
herself.”
Nathan’s eyes darkened with anger.
“Did you believe her words?”
“How could I not, Nathan? When she used your phone herself.”
“Stella, listen to me,” he stared at her. “I don’t know how she got hold of my phone, but certainly told her to get out of the car in the middle of the road. If you don’t believe me, then you can ask Marlon, but of course, you’d say Marlon is my person, he’d definitely take my side, right?”
“Well?” Stella asked. “In what way would you prove your innocence?”
“I’ll personally show the person the lie,” Nathan smiled as he said this.
“Good!” Stella also really wanted to know what that would look like.
Since Nathan had let Carine get out of the car halfway, how could she use his phone to call her?
Nathan finally put his legs down and went to the shoe racks by the front door, took out a pair of shoes and put them in front of her.
“Okay, it’s not early. Put these on and go to sleep, I’ll be back first.”
“Are you
going back to the house?”
Nathan took his coat and shook it for a while.
“Why? Do you hate being separated from me? Do you want me to stay and accompany you?”
“Go quickly,” Stella had never met anyone so brazen.
At first, she just asked carelessly, she just wanted to know if he was going back to the house or the office, after all, lately he’d been sleeping at the company.
“A kiss good night, ma’am!” The corner of Nathan’s lips curved upwards, he put on his gray overcoat and pulled her close, kissing her lips.

This was the third time he had successfully stolen her kiss, and Stell was furious.
“Hurry up, go away.”
Stella looked at Nathan leaving and then went upstairs. Carol was already lying in bed, but the bedroom light was on.
Stella lay down on the bed cautiously, then turned her body to turn off the light, and Carol took her arm.
“Are you willing to split up and go upstairs? I thought you were going home immediately with Nathan.”
“What nonsense are you talking…” Stella patted Carol’s hand, even the dark, but she didn’t dare look Carol in the eye, she felt as if Carol was laughing at her..
“Am I talking nonsense?” Carol laughed deceptively. “You suddenly got out of bed, didn’t say anything and then went downstairs. You had me worried, I thought something had happened. Iran after you, I just realized you were worried about Nathan, are you afraid he’ll freeze to death by staying outside?”
“I don’t know why I could be so afraid either,” Stella took a deep breath for a moment. “It probably sounds like you, maybe I care about him more than realize…”
Carol let go of her hand.
“You’re very close, it’s impossible not to have feelings…”
“Maybe,” Stella smiled. “Let’s go to sleep.”
On the other side of town, in the Cassano mansion, Jorge looked at his youngest daughter and smiled.
“How was that night? What happened between you and Nathan?” Jorge looked at his daughter in front of him.

“Nothing happened,” remembering that night, Carine’s heart was filled with anger.
Originally, she had wanted to go out with Nathan, but she hadn’t expected that man to unexpectedly be so cruel, after all, he had left her in a remote and cold place. If she hadn’t called her friend to take her away, she might still be there now.
Fortunately, even though she didn’t manage to go out with Nathan, she still finally found his phone number and called Stella. She dared to be sure, that call had definitely influenced Stella. But how big the influence was, depended on how big Nathan’s place in
her heart was.
“That was a good opportunity, why didn’t you take it?” Jorge was somewhat dissatisfied. “You told me that you like Nathan, so that means you have to make the most of this opportunity. I don’t put my hope in Stella. Even if she stayed in the Collins family, she wouldn’t help me either. At first, I still want to put my hope in you…
“Dad, I wanted to grab him too, but Nathan just wanted to provoke Stella. So, after I left the house, he told me to get out of the car halfway, and it’s a good thing I took my cell phone.”
“He told you to get out, and you just did?”
“Then what was I supposed to do? Do you also know what kind of person Nathan is? If I don’t get out of the car this time, he‘!‘ definitely drag me down…”
“You really are useless.”
Because he hadn’t heard any good news, his face didn’t look very good.
“Dad, how can you say something like that? Do you think I’m going to give up for just one failure? You also know that now I’m

really regretting why I let Stella take over and marry someone from the Collins family in the first place. If it were me, then it would be good…” She said this, then lost her train of thought.
“Back then, that path was her choice, it was you who rejected the idea. You devoted yourself to that useless man,” Jorge felt a little resentful towards her for not having lived up to his expectations.
But Carine couldn’t answer, because she had indeed been foolish that time. Just as she was getting angry, her phone rang, and she looked at the screen and her eyes lit up, she was so excited that she forgot to answer it.
She hurriedly answered the phone.
“Nathan, are you looking for me?” Nathan said something on the other end, then immediately she nodded. “I will, tonight I definitely will.”
Jorge continued to stare at her while she was on the phone.
“Nathan called you? What did he want?” Jorge asked as soon as she hung up.
“He invited me to dinner.”
