Caroline could not believe her cars. Yet, not a word escaped from her lips.
Pffft!
A snort rang out in the room. It must have been either Samuel or Logan, who had failed to hold back
their laughter.
Caroline’s eyes met Nathan’s narrow, deep gaze. He even appeared all serious when he dropped the Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
comment, but that was a dirty joke through and through.
“What a jerk!” Caroline secretly cursed.
Straightening her back, Caroline retorted in a clear voice, “My dad is long gone from this world. What
would you say if 1 were to call you my father from now on? Do you have what it takes to acknowledge
me as your daughter?
A faint smile emerged on Nathan’s face. “Oh, you might as well address me as such right now. We’ll
see whether I have the courage to take you as my daughter or not after that.”
Of course, Connor was alive, and he was at home when they were having that exchange. Little did he
know that he had been dragged into the topic at that time.
Caroline, in turn, had no choice except to yield. Her eyes were reddened, shining with iciness,
embarrassment, and fury.
Never in a million years would she call Nathan her father
Im only here to get the keys, Mr. Faraday. Can you hand them over?” Caroline shifted the focus back to
her objective.
Nathan gazed at Caroline’s teary eyes and fragile look. The latter was so young and naive, so much so
that she looked vulnerable even after being teased.
In his opinion, the young lady sitting next to him was also quite pure and innocent. Yet, she was
nowhere close to being as virtuous as Caroline.
“The keys are in my suit. Go get them yourself.”
Caroline found the suit on the couch, so she paced over and picked it up with her fair fingers before
reaching into the pockets.
There seemed to be an air of coldness emanating from Nathan’s suit itself, which was why Caroline
gingerly moved her fingers without rummaging all over the suit.
It was then that some scion of a wealthy family from the other table caught a glimpse of Caroline, thus
suddenly getting curious. “What’s a girl like you doing in a place like this?”
The person next to that scion quickly nudged him. “Zip it. Can’t you see as to whose suit the girl’s
holdings
The scion soon recognized that it was Nathan’s suit. “Oh, my! Not any average person could have
touched that man’s suit,” he thought. Frightened, he shut his mouth.
Caroline searched through two pockets, and the keys were still nowhere in sight. “Did he lie to me?”
she wondered
After putting the suit back in place, Caroline went to Nathan again and said, “Tve looked all over the
suit pockets for the keys, Mr. Faraday. I don’t think they’re in the suit.”
“Then, I might have remembered it wrongly. Search my pants pocket. Maybe they’re there.” Nathan
straightened his long legs while still engrossed in card games.
He had truly expected Caroline to put her hand into his pants pocket.

Caroline curled her fingers and was certain that he was playing her for a fool. A man like him should
have had an amazing memory. There was no way he could have mistaken where the keys were
The keys were not in the suit pockets in the first place. He had already led to her once, yet he had tried
to put up another bluff just to make her touch his pants pocket. Never would she fall for it that time
around
“Why aren’t you doing anything!” asked Nathan.
“You can use your own hands to take the keys out
Nathan waved the cards in his hands and uttered with a wry smile. “Can you see that I’m busy playing
card gamesan
Caroline glanced at his legs, which were a little too long and could barely even fit in the space under
the table.
The pair of black trousers were so well-tailored that they somehow outlined Nathan’s muscles. It was
as if th bursting with dommance and strength.
Caroline then swept a glance over the pockets, and her gaze accidentally lingered around the fly. Since
she had to lean close it was impossible for her to avert her eyes.
The next second, she retracted her gaze and refused to budge
Arased, Nathan let out a chuckle. “As if there’s something in my pants that would bite you!”
Those words made Caroline blush as red as a tomato.
She did not have much experience in the romance department, but she could tell that there was
nothing good in what Nathan had sand.
Sure enough. Logan whistled in a mischievous manner right after that. The beauty sitting beside
Nathan, in turn, bit her lip and leered at Caroline with an ever-so-jealous look.
