Chapter 39 Nathan Got Jealous
Today, as always, he wore a fitted black suit, a white dress shirt, his tie neat and precise. Even the expensive watch on his cuff was black. From head to toe, he exuded the composed restraint of a mature man–enough to leave a woman breathless and captivatesl
At the same time, Nathan’s dark, inky gaze swept over Rebecca. Her long hair was casually down, she wore pink–and–white loungewear, no makeup, delicate and demure–pure and charming.
But his sharp eyes immediately caught sight of Sebastian sitting at the dining table, and the steaming, exquisite dishes on it. His brows knitted sharply. “Why is he at your house?”
The rising tone at the end carried a subtle trace of anger and unspoken pressure.
Rebecca frowned slightly and explained, “Mr. Sebastian found out about my identity and came to see me. I remembered that he saved me before, so I made dinner to thank him.”
Hearing this, Nathan felt only a tiny bit better.
Bin thinking about her agreeing to let a man into her home–just the two of them–still made him furious!
Rebecca could feel something strange about his presence. It was like he was about to eat someone alive. She quickly changed the subject “Did you come here for something?”
As soon as she finished speaking, a small hand tugged at hers. A crisp child’s voice rang out:
“Ms. Rebecca, you haven’t come for seven days. I missed you so much. If I didn’t see you again, I was gonna cry from worry. I made Daddy bring me to see you”
Iebecca looked down and saw the short little Marcus. Her heart filled with joy, and she bent down and picked him up:
Marcus, I missed you so much too I was planning to come see you right after dinner
Marcin liked Rebecca’s scent very much and rubbed against her affectionately. “I believe you.”
The smell of food reached his nose. He looked toward the table, and when he saw the delicious food, his eyes lit up. I’m hungry I want to eat at your house too, just like Sebastian”
Rebecca nodded right, away: “Okay
She looked at Nathan “Are you eating
“No” Nathan thought of how she had cooked for Sebastian and didn’t want any part of it He replied coldly and went to sit on the sola face cold presence even colder.

You’re right.” Rebecca had always found him easy to talk to Now she thought he was even friendlier and started serving himn soup and dishes as well.
His bowl quickly became a little mountain.
Sebastian reminded her. “You should eat too. You made so much–must’ve taken a lot of work day before? Marcus, don’t you think so?”
Marcus nodded. “Yeah!
h! You should eat more!”
In an instant, it became two people piling food onto Rebecca’s plate
A man, a woman, and a child–full of laughter and warmth–it felt just like a happy line family of the

His child… how did he start looking like theirs? And when she was with him, why didn’t she smile like that
The more cheerful they looked at dinner, the darker Nathan’s face became.
After dinner-
Marcus took the initiative to help Reberca clean up the dishes and tidy the kitchen. The not–so–spacious living i with just two people.
Sebastian walked over “That face is awfully dark–who’s got our high–and–mighty Nathan all upset?”
Who else could it bet
Nathan looked up, hip deep gaze locking onto Sebastian. He asked. “How do you know Rebecca?”

In the kitchen, Rebecca heard the sound and ran out, sounding quite enthusiastic: “Leaving so soon? I was just about to cut up

It’s fine. There’s plenty of time for that later
“You’re right. Drive safe then. If you need anything, give me a call. I’ll be there for sure?
Rebecca wore a sweet smile as she gave him a polite and sincere promise.
Sebastian could only smile helplessly. He saved her once, and now she was determined to repay him over and over?
WILL, that wasn’t such a bad thing.
He gave a soft hum and turned to leave.
Rebecca watched as Sebastian stepped into the elevator. In her heart, she sighed–someone like Sebastian, rich, handsome. powerful and yet so friendly and easy to talk to there really weren’t many like him in the world.
She turned back into the apartment–only to come face to face with a sharp, intense, and extremely deep gaze.
See This guy was the opposite of easygoing!
Nathan watched her face fall at a speed visible to the naked eye. His expression grew even colder. “You two are pretty close?”
Rebec
answered honesty. “We’re okay. We’ve met three times. He saved me. I guess you could say we’re friends.”
“Heh” Nathan let out a cold sneer, mocking: “Met him three times, and you’re already letting him into your place, treating him with enthusiasm Seems like your standards for men are pretty casual”
Casual? Was he seriously implying she was that kind of woman?
Rebecca was annoyed. He’d been picking on her since the moment he walked through the door. What the hell had she done. to offend him? Not wanting to bother with him, she said. “What business is it of yours?”
she turned to head back to the kitchen.
Nathan’s face darkened. He stood up, walked over in two strides, grabbed her wrist, and stepped forward–pressing her body up against the cabinet behind her
“You sure it’s none of my business! Hm?”
