Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 701

"Then leave it to your brother." Mandy raised her eyebrows and smiled. Her almond shaped eyes swept across Nathan's handsome face. She always had confidence in him.

Nathan took out his mobile phone, unlocked it, and quickly dialed a string of numbers on the screen to call Fred.

"Fred, can you please help me check if Bonnie and Eve have been in touch with any strangers recently?" Nathan's low and deep voice echoed in the quiet living room.

"Okay," Fred responded from the other end of the line and immediately took the tablet from the table. He tapped the keyboard swiftly.

"Why do you want to investigate Eve?" Nacy asked in confusion.

"Eve is Bonnie's best friend. The two of them must have devised the plan together. If I look for their common contact person, I can find the culprit," Nathan explained calmly.

Nacy frowned thoughtfully for a few seconds and smiled. "I see. You have always been the smart one, Brother."

"You should come to me when you get into any trouble. You're smart as well, but you can still make some stupid mistakes sometimes, and so can Simon. He loves you so much. I don't want either of you to be in danger." Nathan's words were sort of a commandment, but what he said was very reasonable. Besides, what he said did not sound like an order because of his beautiful, melodious voice.

Nacy stuck her tongue out naughtily at Nathan and answered, "Yeah, I know."

"It's getting late. We should go home now. Nathan, call me if you get any news."

"Okay. You two can go home and get a good night's rest." Nathan stood up and showed them out. He wanted to spend more time with Mandy since it was rare for them to have a chance to spend time together without any disturbance.

Nacy knew what was on Nathan's mind. She looked Nathan up and down and flashed him a knowing smile. "Are you driving us away?" she asked.

Hearing her question, Nathan did not know how to respond. He swallowed loudly. His Adam's apple bobbed, but he did not answer.

Mandy stood up and felt that her waist was a little sore. She felt like she was becoming lazier every day. She was not as "diligent" as she used to be after getting together with Nathan. Nathan always took care of everything for her, and she did not need to worry about a single thing.

Weariness was written all over her body. She said in a lazy tone, "I'm going upstairs to take a shower. Nathan, you should see Nacy and Simon off."

Nathan grasped Mandy's hand and squeezed it slightly. He put his arms around her soft body and let her sit on his legs. He then smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead."

Nacy clicked her tongue and said jokingly, "Simon, did you see that? They are showing off their love in front of single dogs."

"Are you saying that you two are dogs?" Nathan laughed and rolled his eyes. His thin lips moved as he asked sarcastically.

Mandy touched Nathan's earlobe gently and said with a smile, "I'll go upstairs. See you later."

"I'm not a dog!" Only then did Nacy realize that she had just said the wrong thing. Unfortunately, her mind was not as nimble as Nathan's, so she jumped into his trap without even knowing it.

Seeing Nacy being so anxious like a child being misunderstood by her parents, Nathan thought of a sentence in his mind. "A cornered beast will always resort to something desperate."

But he did not say it out loud. Instead, he looked at Nacy and said slowly, "Didn't you just say that we were showing off our love in front of single dogs?"

Nacy kept smiling. However, deep down, she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and throw herself into it. Now she understood the reality that a person was bound to have a slip of the tongue if he or she talked too much. "I admit that I said something wrong."

"You silly girl. I find it truly surprising that you can admit your own mistakes. But it's not enough that you admit your mistakes for my sake. Simon has tolerated you through the years. You should be thankful for him." Nathan raised his eyebrows and looked Nacy directly in the eye.

Turning his head at Nacy, Simon seemed to be waiting for her to say something to him.

After a long silence, Nacy finally stood up and changed the subject. "Simon, we're going home now. If I have anything to say, I'll talk to you about it when we get home."

Simon pulled Nacy into his arms and touched her nose with his slender finger. He said with a doting smile, "Okay, I'll listen to it."

"You're such a henpecked husband." Nathan shook his head and smiled. Simon was so obedient to Nacy. He was not an irritable man, and he never lost his temper with her. It was no wonder that Nacy had become so overbearing.

Nonetheless, their way of getting along with each other just proved an old saying: All is fair in love and war.

Nacy rolled her eyes and snorted. "This is just the way Simon dotes on me. And excuse me, Nathan, but aren't you a henpecked husband yourself? Tell me if I am wrong."

The corner of Nathan's lips twitched, and a smile appeared on his angular face. "Yes. Of course, you're right, my dear sister. I'm also a henpecked husband. Simon and I are both good men, and we should both be cherished."

"I know. Do you think that I will change my mind and fall in love with someone else?"

"Will you? Are you telling me that Bruce is finally out of the picture for good?" Nathan was really pissed off thinking of this. Bruce had tried to seduce Mandy a long time ago, and now he was trying to seduce his younger sister Nacy. It seemed that Bruce would not think twice to go after any woman he found attractive.

Nacy's face changed all of a sudden. She said stiffly with a dark expression on her face, "Bruce and I are not in that kind of relationship. We are just friends."

Remembering that Simon was standing there, Nathan stopped nagging. He felt like he was slowly becoming more and more like Mandy, for he was fond of nagging now. He did not know if it was because they had been together for a long time.

"All right, if you say so. I just want you to know how to make good decisions."

Burying herself in Simon's arms, Nacy looked smug. She touched Simon's abdominal muscles and said with a smile, "Don't worry. My husband is already so nice and perfect. I'll be stupid to cheat on him."

Upon hearing what Nacy said, Simon fell into a good mood. He held her in his arms and kissed her on the cheek.

Nacy pretended to push him away and said to Nathan, "Goodbye, Brother."

"Well, I'll teach you a lesson when we get home." Simon's tone was ambiguous and full of desire. He immediately followed Nacy out of Nathan's house.

The two quickly left the villa. Nathan did not go out to see them off. He turned off the light and went upstairs.

Mandy was taking a shower in the bathroom. Her cellphone was charging on the dressing table. When Nathan came near the dressing table, he heard two prompt tones from Mandy's cellphone. It was a WeChat message.

Nathan was not a man who liked to think too much. It was already half past ten. It was so late in the night. He did not know who would send a message to Mandy on WeChat at such a time. He first looked at the bathroom and heard the sound of running water. Knowing that Mandy would not finish soon, he boldly unlocked her mobile phone and looked at the WeChat message. His action was so cautious as if he was a thief.
