Chapter 570: Chapter 570

Over the phone, Titus Zane spoke vaguely, not openly admitting that it was her grandfather who had people deliberately make things difficult for Nathan, but Nathan rejected the notion without a second thought.

"No need, I can handle it myself." If he needs an old man’s help for such a trivial matter, then how could he ever hold his head up in front of the Zane family?

Thinking of her grandfather’s promise to stop making trouble as long as she didn’t get together with Nathan, Titus Zane did not continue on this topic. Instead, she changed the subject and murmured a question. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥

"Nathan, have you missed me..."

The word was light and tender. Titus Zane bit her lip bashfully, her thoughts in disarray on the ride back from the bar, fantasizing how wonderful it would be if Nathan had confessed to her through a song.

"Darling, I miss you so much. I think of you when I wake up, when I eat, even in my dreams..."

After a short silence, Titus Zane heard a sigh, "When will your grandfather let you come back?"

"Nathan, very soon." Hearing the man’s helplessness, Titus Zane hurriedly assured him.

On the other end of the phone, Nathan furrowed his brows, "Did your grandfather personally promise that?" His attitude was so firm when he was in Capital City, has he changed his mind so quickly?

"No, it’s..." Titus Zane was not one to lie. Although she was not favored by her father when she was young, she had always lived a carefree life until she was twenty-eight without facing any setbacks, so her thoughts were quite straightforward.

"What is it?" Picking up on Titus Zane’s hesitation, Nathan immediately pressed for an answer.

After a moment’s hesitation, Titus Zane shared with Nathan about her grandfather’s stance and the pretense with Alder Locke. Once she finished, Nathan’s eyes narrowed slightly with concern.

"Have you considered that Alder Locke is doing this simply as a convenient excuse to get close to you?"

Pursing her lips, Titus Zane said, "I have thought about that," her mind might be simple, but simple does not mean stupid.

"But there’s no other way for now. At least if I play this act with him, grandpa won’t make things difficult for you."

"Make things difficult?" Nathan repeated, a cold sneer curling at the edge of his lips, "He’s in Capital City, I’m in T city, how can he bother me? Have you ever heard the saying ’the whip is too short to reach,’ even with his vast power in this open society, he wouldn’t dare be too reckless."

As a businessman, Nathan’s vision and thoughts were much more mature than Titus Zane’s, but Titus Zane was still not at ease, "Anyway, this is the only way for now. After you finish up with your business, come to Capital City. Then we can think of a solution together."

Nathan wasn’t sure whether to admire his woman’s naivety or simplicity, think of a solution together? What kind of solution would make the old man nod in agreement?

Unless he can win the old man’s approval, otherwise, even if he takes his woman back home, the old man would send people to harass them again.

Not wanting his woman to worry, Nathan had to vaguely assure her but continuously reminded her, "Darling, when you’re alone with that man, don’t drink and don’t let him take advantage of you."

"Mmm, I know." Titus Zane nodded solemnly, then made an excessive request, "Nathan, I can’t sleep, I want to hear you sing..."

After a short silence, Nathan’s voice came through, troubled, "Don’t make it hard for me."

"But I really can’t sleep!"

Titus Zane persisted.

"Then play some music on your phone."

"But I want to hear you sing..." Titus Zane bit her lip, coaxing Nathan with a soft voice.

Having known each other for so many years, she had never heard him sing, not even an unintentional hum.
