Chapter 129
Nathan's usually deep eyes suddenly seemed to catch the sunlight, sweeping away all his earlier gloom. He
grinned atand teased, “So when exactly is sooner or later? Tomorrow morning, or tomorrow night?”
| shot him an exasperated look. “Do you really think getting divorced is as easy as grabbing a meal or taking a
nap? What, you think I can just pick morning or night like it's nothing?”
Nathan actually seemed to enjoy getting scolded by me. He grinned like a fool for a bit, then got all serious
again. “So, now that you know they're close, are you still sleeping with Mr. Holcomb?”
His question really leftstumped.
Sure, Jared was a total player, but one couldn’t deny he was in great shape and had stamina to spare.
Besides, | never claimed to be schaste saint. If the opportunity was right there, why not take it? Honestly,
he was still way better than srandom gigolo out there.
“Uh, that’s a bit much. Don’t you think?” | coughed lightly, trying to end the topic.
“So, you still are, huh?” Nathan looked like he was instantly swallowed up by jealousy.
| turned to look at him, thinking, ‘Nathan runs his own tech company, but how can he still be such a softie?”
“Once you've got a woman, you'll understand a lot more. Open your mind a little,” | said, getting up and walking

| checked the time. It was already afternoon, and my stomach was growling.
| turned to Nathan and said, “Let’s split up here, okay? And don’t followback to the hotel. Jared's not an idiot;
he’s already suspicious about us. Well, not that there's really anything going on between us anyway.”
“I like you. Doesn't that count for something?” Nathan was always so bold and straightforward, which made me,
a married woman, look almost pure by comparison.
“It counts, but just because you likedoesn’t mean we can just mess around,” | said seriously, meeting his
eyes. “Nathan, just wait a little longer. Once I'm divorced, I'll cfind you first.”
“Really?” Nathan's eyes lit up, like he’d just won a prize.
“Yeah,” | said, smiling and nodding. “But letmake it clear up front. I'm not getting married again.”
Nathan's expression froze. He looked at me, a little hurt. “I'm not Jared. I'm not the type to fool around and then
just walk away.”
“Well, | might.” | shot back with a smirk. Living life like a gwas just who | was.
Nathan looked at me, completely stunned.
| couldn’t help but laugh out loud, teasing him and making him blush. I really was turning into a bit of a bad girl.
Nathan's handsface flushed bright red, whether from embarrassment or frustration, | couldn't tell. His big
hands tightened a little, almost unconsciously. “Fine, no marriage, but we're still going to be together.”

Nathan hurried over to open the car door for me. “Drive safe, okay? Shoota text when you get there.”
“Sorry, no texts. | don’t want to leave any evidence,” | said as | slipped into the car.
