Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 40

"When will my father get out?" Mandy's expression showed displeasure. And in every minute that passed by, she was anxiously getting more worried. When Nathan was his normal self, he was as good as a real gentleman. But when he was not, he acted like a schizophrenic. She was afraid that he would trap her.

"Mandy, that depends on when you comply with my request. If you promise me what I want, your father can be free the next minute," continued Nathan. He squinted his dark eyes. He tried to scrutinize the piece of paper he was toying with in his hand. It was the same document that sent Daniel to prison.

A suddenly cold voice came through the phone, interrupting Mandy's wandering thoughts. For a brief moment, she was too nervous to utter a word. With her hand trembling slightly, she gripped hard on her mobile phone. "Didn't you say that you wanted me to be willing to accept it?" she managed to ask in a low voice.

"But you won't do it, will you?" A faint smile crept to his lips because all things were running according to his plan. He was the owner of the game, and he was in charge of the game's progress.

"I promise no matter what request you make, as long as my father can come out immediately." She felt weak and desperate. And seemingly in indescribable pain, she closed her eyes as if to think clearly. Her face was full of worry and sadness.

"Well, move out and live with me tomorrow. In the morning, precisely before 10, your father can go home. Then you and your mother can also return to the MC Garden," he replied softly. Nathan reclined himself down on the sofa. As he sank deeper, his mind was already preoccupied. During these years, he felt that he didn't need anything in his life except for a woman. She must be someone who could walk into his heart.

Perhaps, Mandy's fate had been closely associated with him four years ago, or he wouldn't want to live with her now.

Shocked was an understatement when Mandy heard him. She was momentarily stunned. Her eyes yielded unwillingness. She quickly bit her lips and dared not say a single word. 'No!' her mind yelled at her. If she refused Nathan now, there would be no one to save her father. She was more afraid that he might turn to deal with her father, which she did not want to happen. Nathan was able to send Daniel to prison overnight, and make the major newspapers rush to report his charges, which shows that he was more resourceful than Daniel. With all of these, would she dare the risk to offend him?

"Okay, but how can I get there?" Mandy retorted after calming herself down. She was gritting her teeth, and her eyes were filled with confusion. She had to promise to do this for her father and the Zhou Family.

"I will send someone to pick you up. Tell your parents that you will move out. You will only have one night to stay with them." What Nathan blurted out was more like official rhetoric, and quite impersonal.

Mandy brought her cold hands towards her chest. Her heart was trembling violently. She gasped for breath, but it was difficult to hide the uneasiness in her heart.

She knew it clearly that once they lived together, she would become his mistress!

What a mockery! Once upon a time, she had excessively hoped for pure love. And what she despised the most was those who sell themselves for profit. However, people could never know what would happen next. Now she was reduced to such a situation.

Nathan was a man who seriously kept his word. At exactly ten o'clock in the morning, Stanley went home.

Madeline and Mandy were eagerly waiting at the MC Garden. They were both nervous and excited at the same time. And to welcome Stanley, Mandy even applied for a half day's leave.

Mandy burst into tears the moment her father pushed the door open. She cried and threw herself into Stanley's arms.

"Dad, you're finally back." Mandy couldn't stop herself from crying. But knowing that her father was here now, relief washed over her. Then her sadness and sorrow seemed to vanish in an instant because of the reunion of her family.

In these few days, dramatic and even drastic changes had taken place in her life. The betrayal of Daniel, the decline of the Zhou Family, the meeting with Nathan, and the promise to be his woman were all unexpected.

"Silly girl, why are you crying? Didn't Dad say that, "Daddy will be back."" Stanley was so touched by his daughter. Although there were no more bruises in the corner of his mouth, an ache still lingered in his heart for his daughter. Mandy should be happy every day and do what she wanted to do. She shouldn't have been worried all these days. With a rekindled determination in his eyes, he told himself to do more to protect this family.

He was the backbone of this family. These terrible things had never happened in the past years. And these days, his wife and daughter had suffered a lot. Guilt overwhelmed him at leaving them in this tormented situation.
