Rebecca felt a slight relief seeing the panic on Nathaniel’s face. Turning her head away, she said coldly, “I already told you that what happened that night should be considered as if it never occurred. If you’re having second thoughts, we can still be friends”

“No” Nathaniel took her hand and said gently, “I don’t want to be just friends. I want to be your boyfriend.”

As she looked into his deep, affectionate eyes, Rebecca felt no emotional stir but decided to play along- with a shy demeanor “Okay

Moved by her act, Nathaniel instinctively cupped her chin and leaned in to kiss her.

Rebecca, startled, quickly pushed him away. “No… There are too many people in the restaurant. Someone

might see us.”

Noticing her pale face, Nathaniel frowned. “Do I look that unpresentable?”

“It’s not that… It’s just that my breakup with Damon hasn’t been made public yet. If someone who knows us sees us, it might reflect poorly on you,” Rebecca explained

I don’t care,” Nathaniel insisted.

“Even so… I’m shy… If you want to, let’s wait until we get back,” Rebecca said.

With Rebecca’s promise, Nathaniel finally smiled. “Alright, when we get back.”

Neither of them realized that their kiss had been captured by Pete, who had been lurking outside the window.

That evening. Nyla received a message from Pete after finishing dinner.

Upon seeing the photo of Nathaniel and Rebecca kissing, she raised an eyebrow. She hadn’t expected that sending Pete to follow Nathaniel would yield such results.

Since Nathaniel had the time to have someone follow her, it was the perfect opportunity to post this photo online and cause him some trouble.

After sending the photo to a gossip account specializing in celebrity and wealthy family scandals, Nyla set her phone aside.

She was about to read a book when she received a call from Melody.

“Nyla, could you… lend me some money?” Melody asked, her voice hoarse and her mood visibly down.

“What’s wrong? How much do you need?” Nyla inquired.

$30,000 dollars. Is that okay?” Melody replied.

Nyla was taken aback, her brows furrowing. “What’s going on? Why do you need so much money?”

“My dad is sick and needs surgery, which costs 30,000 dollars… Nyla, if you’re worried I might run away, I can leave my ID with you. I promise I’ll pay you back slowly…” Melody explained.

Hearing the sob in Melody’s voice and sensing her emotional distress, Nyla quickly said, “Okay, I’ll transfer the money right away. Don’t worry. He’ll get better.” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Nyla… thank you!” Melody cried.

“Don’t worry about the money. If you need more, just let me know. I’ll transfer the money now. Which hospital is your father in? I’ll visit him tomorrow,” Nyla offered.

While visiting Melody’s father was secondary, Nyla was more concerned about Melody’s distress and wanted to offer some comfort.

Melody nearly broke down in tears. “No… t–that’s not necessary. Just helping me is more than enough. I’m so sorry for troubling you…”

“It’s okay. Friends are supposed to help each other,” Nyla reassured her.

After comforting Melody a bit longer, Nyla hung up and transferred the money.

The moment the transaction was complete, Melody’s phone dinged with a notification showing that 30,000 dollars had been received.

Tears welled up in Melody’s eyes again as she looked at the man standing before her, her gaze filled with hatred.

She gritted her teeth and said, “Nyla has transferred the money. Can you release my mom now?”
