Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 687

"It's none of your business! I did divorce her, but she is still Lisa's mother. Does she have to get your permission if she wants to sleep here? Who do you think you are?" A muscle jerked in Colin's jaw. He brushed over the corner of his mouth, and blood smeared his fingers.

"I think you are asking for death." Serge clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking loudly.

"Get out of here right now, or I will call the police." The other man seemed so smug and self-satisfied that Colin felt the need to threaten him.

"Call the police? Fine! Call the police now!" Eyes, clouded with contempt, Serge smiled scornfully. Their expressions were stiff and tense, flawlessly in line with the air in the room.

Mandy was awakened from her sleep by the noise. She opened her eyes in confusion and seemed to hear Serge's voice. Slowly, the woman became aware of her surroundings and sat up with a start. Why was she here? Then she remembered putting Lisa to bed. Did she lull herself to sleep too?

She crept slowly to the door and pushed it open. The voices rose, shrill, and violent. Mandy hurriedly ran downstairs and crossed the hall with its dark, forbidding atmosphere.

Standing in bewilderment, Mandy saw Colin had a cut on his lips, and his clothes were ripped. Serge stood in front of him with a menacing aura. It soon became apparent that they fought just now.

But Serge was a strong adversary, and Colin was no match for him. He lost miserably!

"What's going on? Did you fight?" She blinked wildly and looked from one to the other.

As if by tacit agreement, no one spoke. She was not sure exactly what had ensued between them, but she saw the bloody scene.

"Are you kids?" Serge, why did you beat him?" Mandy scolded and fixed her eyes on him.

The latter's face turned beet red under Mandy's stare. He felt thoroughly ashamed of himself, for he was guilty. He bowed his head and crisped his lips in. "Mrs. Jin, it's half-past eleven. Mr. Jin has been calling you for a long time. Let me take you home."

Mandy was instantly alarmed, and her heart skipped a beat. How could she forget about Nathan?

After bathing Lisa, she was so sleepy that she fell asleep with her. 'Oh, God! Has Nathan misunderstood?'

"Let's go." She almost ran to the sofa and picked up her bag rushed through the door like a criminal caught in the act.

"Mand." Colin saw her glance over her shoulder, and her movements were resolute. He wanted to speak and moved toward her. Then, on second thought, he stopped.

"What's wrong?" Whatever he was on about, Mandy had no clue. She was holding her phone and kept stabbing at the power button but to no avail. 'Why is this thing not turning on?'

"Nothing. Take care of yourself on the way." Colin averted his gaze. The old familiar feeling of disappointment jabbed him.

Mandy stared at the screen for what felt like the millionth time, but the screen remained dark. Her mind was in a mess. Scolding herself for her poor memory in considering Nathan, she mumbled inwardly, 'Is my phone broken?'

"Okay," she said to Colin distractedly. Without another word, she marched off.

The night grew deeper. Serge's car was in front of the main gate of the Summer Villa. Mandy settled herself into the front seat with a loud sigh. "What's wrong with my phone? I can't turn it on. Is it broken?"
