Meeting You Was Fate

"Honey, why are you still up?" Nathan's deep and captivating voice had a hint of exhaustion that night.

"I thought you'd be asleep by now." A touch of a mischievous smile appeared on Mandy's beautiful face. Recently, she had been developing a more tacit understanding of Nathan.

"Do you want to go out for a walk?" Nathan softly asked while his bony fingers were gently caressing the smooth skin on Mandy's back. The warmth of his palm instantly passed through Mandy's thin clothes, making her feel very comfortable.

"Sure, let's go." With a small smile, she stretched out her arm to touch his chin. She noticed that he had grown a short stubble, which was still a bit prickly when she ran her fingers over it.

In fact, she didn't like the stubble on Nathan's face. He knew this, so he would shave his mustache almost every day. Fortunately, he was already a neat freak. The same was true for Mandy. But if there was something which she didn't like, he would not dare to go against her wishes. Over the past years, he had become a completely obedient husband to Mandy.

They quickly put on their coats and left the ward as quietly as they could.

It was already late autumn, so it was very cold. Mandy was wearing a tight sweater, a pair of black ankle boots, and a pair of tight fitting black trousers. Meanwhile, instead of the usual suits that he would wear for office, Nathan was wearing a casual beige sweater that day. But even so, he still looked composed and elegant.

Nathan used to be a person who didn't like to wear sweaters. No matter how cold the weather was, he was always in a suit made of thin fabric. Daisy often laughed at him for being a cold-blooded animal. Although she had filled his wardrobe with sweaters, he still refused to wear them.

Since he had fallen in love with Mandy, he had changed a lot. He had begun to live and appreciate the simplicity of life. He had become eager for an ordinary but genuine love.

In the past, Nathan had always yearned for a vigorous and exciting life. But after he met Mandy, he wanted to live a quiet life with her. He didn't want to hurt her again and again. Unfortunately, there were so many dangers that came one after another. Even though he tried to avoid it, he couldn't protect her from some painful experiences. One of those was what happened to Adrian and how the poor boy needed to be hospitalized.

They walked in the corridor with their fingers interlocked.
