Chapter 453: 449, Mom, Nathan and Titus Zane are together again.
Ultimately, Titus Zane still left with Nathan Moore, after all this was Wesley Foley’s apartment.
However, she made it clear beforehand that she wanted to live alone, and Nathan Moore agreed.
By the time they returned to Nathan Moore’s place, it was approaching midnight. After taking a shower, Titus Zane came out wrapped in Nathan Moore’s oversized bathrobe, while Nathan Moore had also changed out of his jacket and was leaning in casual clothes on the sofa. It looked like he had just taken a shower too, as his short hair, hanging in front of his forehead, was still damp with moisture.
On his distinct knuckle bones rested a glass of dark red liquid.
"Come over and have a drink, it’s good for sleep."
Titus Zane sat down on the other side of the sofa, but she reached for a cigarette, lit one, took a deep inhalation, then exhaled heavily. Looking at Nathan Moore, she said, "Quit."
Nathan Moore...
could never believe that a person fond of alcohol could quit overnight, "You once drank all my collection."
The bottles in his home’s liquor cabinet were almost emptied by her. Aunt Liu said that sometimes the young lady would go through over a bottle in a day...
So, to keep her supplied with alcohol, he kept quietly stocking up the villa with red wine. Now, she was saying she had quit.
"Why?"
Titus Zane took another puff of her cigarette, hugged her arms, and said faintly to Nathan Moore, "Alcohol can lead to chaos."
Nathan Moore sneered and said nothing more, but he understood clearly that she was referring to what happened that night.
He gulped down the half glass of red wine he had in his glass, took the bottle and another glass, and headed to the kitchen’s wine cabinet, "It’s getting late, you should rest early."
He didn’t want to talk anymore, it hurt too much.
That night, Nathan Moore was a real gentleman. Perhaps it was because of Titus Zane’s words hurting his pride, he did not sneak into Titus Zane’s bed. And Titus Zane, for once, slept well through the night.
On the way to dropping Titus Zane off at work, Nathan Moore suddenly asked, "How’s your matter coming along?"
"What matter?" Titus Zane turned around, puzzled, while Nathan Moore drove seriously, his eyes on the road ahead.
"Don’t tell me you came to work in Banyan City without a purpose."
Titus Zane...
Her fingers tightly gripped the safety belt in front of her, as she turned to look at Nathan Moore, her facial expression changing significantly.
"Nathan Moore, what do you know?" Or had he gotten someone to investigate her in pain?
"I don’t know anything," Nathan Moore was still looking at the road ahead, dressed casually in a black sweater with a thin, ash-gray coat over it, as nonchalant as he appeared at the moment.
"However, if you have any ill intentions, you’d better stop. If you’re out of money, ask me. Nobody’s hard work comes for free."
Although Nathan Moore didn’t make it explicit, his insinuation was full of hidden meaning.
Clearly, he was reminding Titus Zane that no matter what her intentions were, she should stop and not engage in illegal activities.
Looking at Nathan Moore driving so calmly, Titus Zane narrowed her eyes slightly, then turned back and looked ahead, saying, "I’m planning to resign."
Only then did Nathan Moore turn to glance her way, "Where do you plan to go after resigning?"
Facing Nathan Moore’s somewhat teasing look, Titus Zane said petulantly, "I don’t know!"
Nathan Moore raised his eyebrows, and then the sound of his pleased laughter echoed through the car.
...
In T City.
Olivia Zane lay in the hospital bed, staring blankly ahead of her, her face and lips pale as paper, devoid of any color. Her heart problem flared up again yesterday after an emotional outburst.
Fortunately, she was taken to the hospital in time, and it happened to be her mother’s shift.
Ariana Evans sat in front of the bed, scooping up a spoonful of porridge to Olivia’s lips, "Lily, how many times have I told you not to let yourself get too emotional? Why can’t you remember?"
"Mom," Olivia Zane shifted her gaze back but did not open her mouth to drink the porridge her mother was feeding her, "Nathan is with Titus Zane again."
