Chapter 406

Nathalie couldn't let him find out she was in the same room as Benjamin, so she had to end his video call abruptly. Nathan shot her a text: [Pick up the video call.]

Through the screen, Nathalie could almost see Nathan's anger blazing. Knowing how stubborn he could be, she quickly grabbed her phone and dashed out of the hotel. Only when she reached the lobby did she feel safe enough to answer his call.

As the video connected, Nathalie saw Nathan for the first time in months. Something about him seemed different; his face had lost its youthful roundness. It was now leaner and sharply handsome, with more chiseled features. "Nathan, you've gotten even hotter," Nathalie teased with a smile.
