Meeting You Was Fate

Adrian politely said goodbye to Madeline and Stanley and then went back to the villa with Mandy.
During the drive all the way home, Mandy clearly felt a trace of fatigue. Fortunately, MC Garden was not far from No. 520, Haibin
Road. They arrived home in about ten minutes.
As soon as Mandy entered the villa, Nathan arrived. Hearing the sound of the car's engine, she turned around abruptly.
Nathan's tall, manly figure stepped out of the sports car. He looked at the villa's entrance with his dark eyes and saw Mandy
standing at the door with Adrian. With a doting smile on his lips, he casually strode to them.
"Honey, Adrian," Nathan said as he stretched out his long arms and hugged Mandy, smiling.
Mandy had a sharp sense of smell. She smelled a woman's perfume the moment Nathan walked close enough. She never wore
the perfume herself, but she knew what it was. She guessed that it was Chanel No. 5, which was the most classical type.
"Where have you been?" Mandy asked, the smile on her face slowly ebbing.
"I told you I went to meet a friend," Nathan replied, totally oblivious of the smell of another woman on him. He had stayed with
Audrey for a long time today, but they did not engage in any intimate relations.
"Okay. I'll go give Adrian a bath." Mandy did not want to have an argument with Nathan in front of Adrian. Her clear eyes shone
under the bright lights, and they seemed to have a little bitterness in them.
Nathan was a little confused. He stepped forward, held Mandy's arm, and said with a smile, "Let me do it. You must be tired after
a day's work. Go get some rest."
"No. Maybe you should take a shower first. You smell like a woman." Mandy lost her temper all of a sudden. She had not asked
Nathan about the details, but she already had a conclusion in mind. 'No wonder he did not contact me since this afternoon. It
turned out that he was sneaking around with another woman, ' Mandy thought bitterly.
Nathan was dumbfounded, his face turning a bit cold.
He raised his arm and smelled his sleeve. There was indeed a smell of perfume, which was familiar to him because it was
Audrey's favorite scent.
'Damn!' Nathan cursed in his mind. 'How could I forget such an important thing?'

Before Nathan could explain, Mandy scooped Adrian up in her arms and went upstairs.
Tonight, Mandy did not intend to go to bed with Nathan. She stayed and slept in Adrian's room and locked the door to prevent
Nathan from coming in.
After preparing two cups of warm milk, Nathan, in loose pajamas, came to Adrian's room.
He turned the doorknob, but the door did not budge. Nathan smiled. It was just what he was expecting. Mandy always had such
a temper. She would always avoid him when she was angry.
They would go through a cold war first before getting to the real fight.
Nathan knocked on the door. He scratched his head helplessly and said in a soft voice, "Honey, please open the door."
Mandy pretended not to hear Nathan knocking on the door. She was lying beside Adrian on the bed. She was already sleepy.
Her eyelids were beginning to drop, but when she heard Nathan's low and sexy voice, she was jolted awake as if she was cast
under a magical spell of awakening.
Mandy glanced at Adrian who was sleeping soundly beside her. The way he slept was adorable. Mandy leaned in and kissed
him on the forehead.
'Good night, my precious Adrian, ' Mandy said in her heart. She tucked him in under the quilt and stayed beside him.
'I won't share a bed with Nathan tonight, ' she told herself.
Mandy did not want to think about what Nathan possibly did earlier. Just as Madeline had said, she had to understand and be
patient with Nathan sometimes. After all, he was very busy every day. If he got together with other women, it would be for work
reasons. Thinking of this, Mandy felt a little guilty.
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she got. She felt like she had been too reliant on Nathan. They had been
together for so long, and she already knew Nathan well enough to anticipate his moves. They worked in the same company, and
they chatted with each other almost every two or three hours. Their biggest challenge was that Nathan had to go on business
trips occasionally. But when he was not on a business trip, he would always take the initiative to contact Mandy.
Every time she read a message from Nathan, she would smile shyly like a girl who was reading a love letter from her first love.

Mandy's mind was a little confused. Images of Nathan scattered her thoughts, but she decided to control her thinking and forget
about Nathan for tonight. Eventually, she fell asleep.
Knowing Mandy's temper, Nathan went back to the study with the cups of milk. There were still some things for him to do. He
had spent the entire afternoon with Audrey because it was his promise to her. He was a man of his word. Besides, Audrey was
now Adrian's attending physician. Adrian was lucky that Audrey was willing to come to City A for him.
Suddenly, the phone in the study rang. Nathan quickly picked up the phone.
"Mr. Jin, why is your phone turned off?" Serge's anxious voice came from the other end of the line. He had called Nathan twice,
but his mobile phone could not be reached. Left with no other choice, he tried the landline.
After being busy for the whole afternoon, Nathan finally remembered to check his mobile phone. He did not rely on his mobile
phone very much. He was usually accessible to his people in person, so he rarely checked his mobile phone when it did not ring.
"I didn't turn off my phone." Nathan's squinted his dark eyes a little.
As he spoke, he took out his phone. True enough, his phone was on flight mode. No wonder he could not be reached.
Nathan put his phone off flight mode and asked in a flat tone, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"The bidding meeting is scheduled to take place tomorrow. What's our final bidding price?" Serge held a file in his hand, feeling
uncertain. He was afraid of making a mistake, so he decided to call Nathan to confirm.
"One hundred and fifty million," Nathan answered coldly. At the same time, he began to doubt that it was him who had put his
mobile phone on flight mode.
He pulled up WeChat and saw a message from Mandy received before five o'clock in the afternoon. He was not able to read the
message, so he was not able to reply. No wonder Mandy was so angry that she went to her parents' house for dinner with
Adrian.
