Chapter 548: Chapter 548
Not knowing the name of Titus Zane’s grandfather, nor where he lived, Nathan Moore was clear that even if he said he was here for a family visit, he wouldn’t be allowed in. So, when he saw a soldier in uniform emerging from the guardroom walking towards him, he took the initiative to roll down the window and said, "Comrade, I’m here to visit relatives, I’ll call them right now."
The soldier approached, bent down to take a careful look at Nathan and the car through the rolled-down window. He didn’t say anything, but he didn’t return to the guardroom either. Instead, he stood beside the car, watching Nathan vigilantly.
Sitting on the sofa and watching TV as Abigail Zimmerman pulled her down to sit, grandfather was sitting in a single sofa with his hands on his walking sticks watching a war drama on TV. Titus Zane’s heart had already flown off to who knows where.
Wanting to go to the bathroom to call Nathan Moore to ask if he had arrived at Capital City, she was just about to get up when her cell phone in the pocket of her wool coat began to ring.
Samuel Zane and Abigail Zimmerman’s gazes turned towards her at the same time, Titus Zane apologetically said, "Grandpa, Aunt, I need to take a call." Google seaʀᴄh 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩
Having said that, she rose and walked towards a corner of the living room.
The foreign environment was uncomfortable for her, and it felt like she had lost her freedom, needing to ask for their approval even to take a phone call.
Seeing that it was Nathan Moore’s number, Titus Zane clung the phone tightly to her ear. When she spoke, she also deliberately lowered her voice.
"Nathan... where are you?" Even though she was trying hard to control herself, when that familiar voice reached her ears, Titus Zane’s eyes still swelled with tears. She felt wronged and hoped Nathan Moore could fly to her side immediately.
"I’m at the front of the compound. You need to have your grandfather and the others call out loudly, or else they won’t let me in."
"Okay, hold on, I’ll talk to grandpa right away."
After hanging up the phone, Titus Zane took a deep breath, trembling as she kept the phone away then turned back to stand in front of Samuel Zane.
"Grandpa, Nathan is here, and he wants to see you."
Samuel Zane’s gaze returned to his granddaughter, seemingly unclear who this "Nathan" was, but when he heard the name Nathan Moore, Abigail Zimmerman also stood up. After a moment’s pause, Samuel Zane turned his head and instructed his daughter-in-law, "Call the gatehouse to let the rascal in."
"Thank you, grandpa." Titus Zane secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought that grandpa wouldn’t let Nathan Moore in. Just as she was about to sit back on the sofa, she suddenly remembered, "Grandpa, it’s Nathan’s first time here and he doesn’t know the way. I’ll go pick him up."
"Mhm." Samuel Zane turned to look at the TV again, grunting through his nose, showing that he was not very welcoming to Nathan Moore.
Titus Zane stepped out of the living room, walking along the path she had come by to meet him. Having just walked a few dozen meters, two beams of light shot over from the opposite side. Instinctively, Titus Zane stood by the road to let the sedan pass, but the car stopped right beside her.
The car door opened and under the dim streetlights, a tall and outstanding man got out, walked around the front of the car to face Titus Zane. Seeing the man’s stern handsome face, Titus Zane unexpectedly stood dumbfounded, forgetting to react.
As her vision darkened and her waist suddenly tightened, Titus Zane lurched forward a step and was tightly embraced by Nathan Moore.
"Titus Zane," the two words were somewhat restrained, when Aunt Liu told him she had been forcibly taken away by two men, his heart was in chaos.
"Nathan Moore... why did you take so long..." With her face pressed against Nathan’s chest, Titus Zane’s voice was filled with grievance. Barely half a day apart, her heart was in turmoil at the thought that... if grandpa never agreed to allow them to be together, what would she do?
"I’m sorry, I’m late..." With those few words falling, his lips also pressed down heavily, kissed by two cool lips in the winter night.
