Chapter 281 Did He Actually Have A Heart
“Ma’am, you’re late. We’ve already had dinner.”
The car’s rear window rolled down, and Liam peeked out. Her large eyes appeared even more radiant in the night.
This illegitimate child is also here!
Emma’s eyes narrowed, her grip tightening on the thermos she was holding. A wave of jealousy surged relentlessly in her heart.
“Liam!” Olivia scolded softly. “It’s dangerous.”
The little one seemed not to hear, his young face beaming with an innocent smile. He said, “We went to Old Mr. Quill’s house to eat, and Old Mrs. Quill’s soup was so delicious!”
When Nathan heard that, his lips seemed to curve in an almost imperceptible smirk. The words sounded almost like a boast, didn’t they?
Perhaps, the little one was merely seeking to show off.
Emma paused. “Old Mr. Quill?”
“Yes.” The youngster nodded. “It’s indeed Old Mr. Quill, Sophocles.”
Sophocles!
Nathan’s teacher!
Sudden dismay washed over Emma, her face taking on a particularly unsightly hue.
Renowned for his virtue, Sophocles held a high reputation within the literary field..
Over the years, she had always wanted to meet the other party, but Nathan had never even considered introducing her to his elders
She thought he wasn’t ready ye
However, she never would have imagined that he he had actually taken Olivia, that despicable woman, and their illegitimate child to meet with Sophocles.
The feelings of jealousy and dissatisfaction intertwined within her, growing increasingly intense. It felt as if they were about to burst forth!
How could he have done such a thing?
Emma cast a resentful glance toward Nathan.
Olivia understood her son well. The little guy’s sudden remarks were clearly directed at Emma.
However, as she saw Emma’s complexion grow increasingly worse, she didn’t feel the slightest bit of happiness.
Instead, she felt a sense of unease welling up within her.
Nathan never expected that Emma would come, let alone be seen by Olivia.
He was afraid she might overthink, so he spoke up, his voice deep and resonant. “Take the soup back with you. The Carter family is not short of soup to drink.”
His ruthless words were like a knife, mercilessly piercing Emma’s heart. She bit her lip, her eyes reddening. “Nate, I spent hours carefully simmering this soup….
Her voice carried a hint of a unh

“Liam, stop talking” Olivia warned him.
This illegitimate child is doing this on purpose!

It was only after a moment of realization that Emma understood, and she was instantly irate, itching to slap him across the face
She glared at Olivia, convinced that this despicable woman was behind it all, intending to embarrass her.
“Nate.
Emma wanted to say something else, but she was abruptly cut off by Nathan’s icy words. “Ms. Patel, I appreciate your concern, but you should
go now
His words unterly crushed Emma’s heart.
She gazed at Nathan, his face a mask of indifference and detachment. The grievances she had endured these past days suddenly welled up within her, blurring her vision
His unilateral cancellation of their engagement, coupled with his increasingly indifferent attitude toward her, made it feel as if he was treating her like a stranger.
Perhaps, they were even less familiar than a stranger.
Under normal circumstances, she might not have felt so wronged and angry.
But now, with Olivia around, she didn’t want to give that contemptible person the satisfaction of laughing at her.
And so, she sniffed, holding back her tears, but she couldn’t help harboring resentment in her heart.
She had loved him for so many years, but in the end, it amounted to nothing
Did he even have a heart!
Or perhaps, was his heart entirely devoted to that b*tch?
