Chapter 456

After Ford and Dominick left, Nathan's heart was pounding like crazy. It felt like he was going through sheer torture. To distract himself, he fished out a coin and started playing his little game of chance. Heads meant Nathalie would come home; tails was not an option he wanted to consider.

Every flip was a calculated move, ensuring it almost always landed on heads. Nathan lost himself in this self-deceptive game, completely forgetting about the time.

Out in the countryside, Ford and Dominick found their way to Nathalie's doorstep. Dominick was visibly jittery. "Ford, if Nathalie gets upset, no matter how harsh her words, we gotta just take it. We can only bring her back if we cheer her up." Ford nodded along, agreeing this time.

Dominick knocked, but there was no answer for ages. Peeking through the peephole, Dominick whispered to himself, "Maybe Nathalie knows it's me and is giving me the silent treatment?"

Ford chimed in, "Well, you did start it by judging her too quickly and shutting her out."

Dominick sighed, "Who would've thought a guy like him would fall for such a down-to-earth girl?"

After a long wait with no answer, a disappointed Dominick threw in the towel. "Let's head back. I'll have to face the music with the boss."
