As soon as Sophia returned and saw Nathan, she happily exclaimed, “Nate, you’re here!”

“Yeah.” He glanced briefly at her before walking out the door.

“Nate, where are you going? It’s almost lunch time; why don’t you stay for lunch before you go?” Sophia desperately tried to make him stay.

“I don’t feel like eating,” he answered coldly before returning to Villa No. 8 and never came out again.

Compared to the indifferent Nathan, Michael was much more enthusiastic. He brought in the fowls that Sophia caught from the farm to their backyard. Then, he carried the freshly picked fruits and placed them in the kitchen. After that, he sat in the living room to rest, Carmen in his arms as he chatted with Linus.

On the other hand, Cooper was getting riled up and thought that Michael was thick-skinned when he did not leave. Even Carmen couldn’t bear it anymore and asked innocently, “Daddy, are you trying to dilly-dally at Grandpa’s house? Look; Grandpa’s getting mad!”

Michael rubbed her forehead as he cuddled her. “Silly girl. I’m Mommy’s husband; what’s wrong with having a meal at Mommy’s house?” Behind those words was a sense of smugness.

“Nonsense!” Sophia was flustered upon hearing that.

Meanwhile, Cooper was fuming while Linus couldn’t help but laugh. Cooper really was not fond of Michael!

Seeing that the meal was about to be served, Sophia glanced at Carmen and Michael, and then at Villa No. 8. Michael and Carmen were here, while Nathan wasn’t. He was eating at home alone and Sophia thought it seemed a little lonely. Despite that, she felt dejected as she recalled Nathan’s coldness toward her. Biting her lip, she asked, “Michael, did Nate hate me before this?”

 

Meanwhile, Michael was being held while Carmen forcefully braided his hair. He laughed and said, “No way; he loved you back then! He liked you more than he did me!”
