Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 275

“N-Nate, where are you bringing me?”

Nathan remained quiet with a furious expression.

Even though the car had reached the outskirts, he had no intentions of stopping.

Suddenly, he slammed on the brake, causing Melanie to swing forward uncontrollably before her head crashed into the windscreen in front.

“Aaaahh!” she yelled loudly due to the pain.

Nathan did not fasten the seatbelt for her, and her hands were tied up. This emergency brake had knocked her against the glass, hurting her head.

Nathan did not even look at her. Instead, he merely stared straight ahead.

After Melanie finally struggled to get up, the car started moving once more. Just when she had gotten used to the speed, the car suddenly stopped again.

There weren’t many cars at the outskirts of the city, so he could drive quickly and brake immediately.

After a dozen rounds of similar treatment, Melanie’s head was already bleeding. She felt that her body had bruises all over as she felt pain in her entire body, as if she had been run over by a car.

Finally, Nathan stopped the car and took out a pack of cigarettes from the glove compartment. Then, he took one out and lit it up.

The smoke choked Melanie until she couldn’t stop coughing.

Before this, Nathan would stop smoking immediately and ask whether she was okay. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

In fact, he was quite a heavy smoker. When he burned the midnight oil in front of the computer, he often smoked to stay awake. He tried to cut the habit off since Melanie didn’t like it.

However, at this moment, he felt that he was an idiot. I was a complete fool. Why couldn’t I tell her motives?

“You got closer to me on purpose, didn’t you?” he asked.

Melanie remained silent.

“Tell me!”

His roar had shocked Melanie, who instinctively replied, “Yes!”

Nathan took another puff of the cigarette before pinching her chin. “Tell me honestly. Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”

He looked quite savage at this moment, as though he really wanted to kill her.

Melanie’s heart thumped fearfully. Indeed, he had treated her so well until she had forgotten that he was considered a part of the Nolan Family, and that Eugene was his uncle. She had forgotten that he could torture her anytime until she wished she were dead.

I was too careless! I can’t believe that Kate recorded that!

No!

It’s Olivia who framed me!

However, at this moment, everything was too late. After looking at Nathan’s face furtively, she spoke carefully, “That day, I fell to the ground deliberately. Your car didn’t knock into me, and I deliberately fell to the ground to cause the injury on my knee to get your sympathy. I didn’t allow you to send me to the hospital because I didn’t want you to think of me as a materialistic person. On top of that, you would owe me a favor. I even got your Whatsapp number because of that.”

Nathan laughed out of intense fury. How smart! In order to get closer to me, she didn’t mind hurting herself.

“So you also planned the second meeting?”

Melanie nodded. “The few men at the restaurant that day were hired by me to deliberately hurt me so that your protective instincts would kick in. Naturally, that became the second time we met. I bought you dinner to let you know that I’m someone who knows how to pay back a favor.”

Nathan smiled. Sure enough. That time, I thought of her as someone who had her own principles even though she was quite soft-spoken. I thought she was much better than the girls who had many demands right at the beginning.

In order to repay her meal, he treated her to a more scrumptious one.

After a few more interactions, they slowly developed feelings for each other.

He was flattered by her so much until he lost himself. He even thought that he was the sexiest and the most handsome man around.

It was only at this moment that he realized it was all an illusion.
