Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 37

"Who is he, Honey?" Nathan rushed over and pulled Mandy into his arms. He looked into Mandy's eyes affectionately. Mandy was, however, completely perplexed at this sudden intervention by Nathan.

Mandy widened her eyes out of surprise as she looked at Nathan. 'What on earth is Nathan doing here?'

"You... Why are you here?" Mandy asked nervously.

"I was worried about you. After you told me that you are going to meet a scumbag today, how could I leave you alone?" Nathan held Mandy in his arms in a bossy manner. He held Mandy close to his chest in a way as if he was holding one of his most prized possessions. His frivolous gesture seemed to intimidate Daniel and declared his ownership over the girl in his arms.

Nathan claimed loud and clear that Mandy belonged to him. No one could separate her from him!

Daniel was left bewildered. 'What was going on here? Where did this guy appear from so unwarrantedly? And how dare he call Mandy "honey?"' Daniel thought, feeling irked. What offended him all the more was that Mandy didn't stop the guy. Rather she looked so comfortable to be in his arms!

No matter how displeased Daniel was, he calmed down and took a few moments to evaluate the guy standing in front of him before taking action. He could sense the atrociousness in the guy and came to conclude that he must be a tough guy.

"Mand, who is he? Do you know him? How do you know him?" Daniel asked, annoyed as he was seething in rage and jealousy.

"Mandy is my wife. How do you think we know each other?" Nathan narrowed his eyes coldly at Daniel as he replied on behalf of Mandy. It sounded as if he were teasing his challenger. Daniel was a bit overwhelmed by the bossy manner of the guy.

"That is impossible. Mand is my girlfriend. When did she become your wife? When did you get married?" Daniel said as he looked at Mandy. From his face, he looked devastated as he thought, 'Why hasn't Mandy explained it to me by herself?'

Even Mandy was taken aback by what Nathan had just said. She frowned slightly as she realized Nathan's ability to tell lies in such a spontaneous manner. He was good enough to make Daniel get pissed off. She was happy to see Daniel in such discomfiture since he had offended her a while ago.

"We got married six months ago, right? Mand?" Nathan reached out his hand to touch Mandy's head and stroked her soft hair gently as he spoke. He was such a brilliant actor that there were no second thoughts about it. Everyone who would watch him at that time would think that he was such a loving husband who was protecting his wife from a trouble maker.

Realizing that Nathan was rescuing her at the moment, Mandy was grateful to him. So she replied to his question with a nod, "Yes, we did."

"You told me earlier today that you were coming to see your ex-boyfriend. I knew it was going to get hard. I even warned you that it was futile to come and see such a fool. Now you see it for yourself. And I'm really unhappy to see him offending you like this." Nathan put up an arrogant expression on his face. He raised his eyebrows as if he was trying to give some secret signals to Mandy.

"Who do you mean by the fool?" Daniel roared. He had been watching Nathan's antics for quite some time now. He could not contain his anger beyond this. He threw a punch at Nathan.

"Who else could it be? It is the one fool who answered me just now." Nathan retaliated with a punch that was twice as swift and power-packed as Daniel's. In a blink of an eye, Daniel had found himself crouching in pain.

Fear was creeping up in Mandy's heart as she watched them. Mandy pulled Nathan's sleeve and said, "Forget it. Let's go."

Feeling unsatisfied, Nathan frowned and gave a hard look at Mandy, seeming to say, "My silly little girl, how can we simply let it go?"

Looking at his fierce and terrible eyes, Mandy did not dare to say anything further; instead, she quietly stood aside. Daniel did not know who Nathan was, but she did. She knew clearly that he was definitely more insidious and despicable than Daniel.

Nathan was very satisfied to see Mandy obey him at the moment. But no matter how obedient and docile Mandy looked at the moment, Nathan knew it very well in his heart that this woman was no better than a wild horse–that was not easy to be controlled. Otherwise, she would have already agreed to his request to be his wife.

"You bastard! How dare you lay a hand on me? No one can leave this place tonight!" Daniel was hysterically enraged as he threatened. He swung his sleeves, unbuttoned his shirt collar, and came into a combating stance. Not only had Nathan insulted him by calling him names, but he also punched him. If he didn't take revenge on him, he would never be able to forgive himself!
