Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 1354

Chapter 1354 They’re Absolutely a Family

After dinner, Nathan played for Halma the video that Eugene had played for the Snow Family today. He knew that Halma already believed him now, or she wouldn't have let him in and allowed him to stay. However, there was no way she could be unperturbed by this incident, so he wanted to give her some peace of mind.

Halma never expected him to have actually spoken to Lexie. Watching the video, she asked, "Who recorded this?"

"My uncle," Nathan replied, feeling somewhat proud of himself. However, he couldn't help but sigh before explaining, "Just as expected from him. It didn't even cross my mind to record a video to prove my innocence to you, but he already figured out what I wanted to do. You didn't know about this, but when you ignored me, I was at a complete loss for what to do. I was running around like a headless chicken, with my only thought being to find evidence to make you believe me. So, I went to Lexie Snow. Although I didn't really want to see her, I wanted her to testify for me. But who would've thought that this woman really had no sense of shame? Just listen to what she is saying. Not only did she refuse to help, but she even spouted her twisted logic in such an unapologetic way. Just who does she think she is? She even tried to brainwash me. At the time, I thought that if she wouldn't help, then we would go to hell together. That's why I fell out with her right then and there."

After watching the video, Halma felt all warm and fuzzy and reassured in her heart, though she still had concerns. And so, she asked, "Wouldn't your doing so affect the collaboration between your family and hers?"

Nathan had disdain written all over his face. He despised his father's unscrupulous way of doing things.

He replied with a snort, "If a company like that refuses to collaborate with us, then we won't collaborate with them!"

Halma replied, "You can't say things like that. Collaboration is about making money, and no one would have a problem with making money. If you offended the Snow Family like this, it would affect your immediate interests. Knowing their character, you could've just chosen to not collaborate with them next time. This time, however, you guys were the ones who took the initiative to say there'd be no collaboration. Shouldn't it be considered a breach of contract on your part?"

Nathan took her hand while looking at her tenderly. "Look at you, worrying like an old lady. It's okay. My uncle has solved it for me."

Halma was quite relieved when she heard that Eugene was involved. With his involvement, of course, there wouldn't be any problem. I've never seen how he dealt with problems before, but how should I put it? I can't help but admire this man. Not only do I admire him, but I admire Olivia, too. They're absolutely a family! Both of them are high in IQ, EQ, and AQ. A faint smile played on her lips and she felt as though her anxious heart was finally put to rest. In the end, she replied softly, "Good to hear that."

Nathan stared at her expression, seemingly dissatisfied with her response. "So, what do you think of how I did today?" he asked.

Halma turned her head to look at him, and her lips brushed against his cheek as a result. For a moment, she was startled. She never expected him to get so close to her. She had wanted to poke fun at him, but when she saw his face begging for a compliment, she murmured, "I think you're pretty cool!" As she spoke, she pecked him on the lips, her eyes locked onto his as if she could see right through his heart.

Nathan clearly saw his own reflection in her tender eyes, and the feeling of being seen and cherished made him feel happy, sweet, and a little lightheaded. How can such a light kiss soothe my lovesickness for her? As if under her spell, he felt an unbearable itch deep down inside. Stretching out his long arms, he pulled her into his arms, kissing her on the lips once again.
