instantly started rumbling. ‘Wow, this smells amazing,’ | thought to myself.
| couldn’t help but suspect that his assistant and the kitchen staff had just left right before we arrived.
Everything was timed perfectly.
“Finally, | have someone to share New Year's Eve dinner with,” | said with a smile as | walked over to the dining
table, which was loaded with delicious food.
Nathan stood behind me, his voice tinged with emotion. “Thanks for sharing this meal with me.”
| turned to look at him. “What are you thankingfor? You saved my life, remember?”
His eyes grew a little misty, his long lashes fluttering as he gazed at me. “It's always just beenand the dog
on New Year's Eve. Having you here tonight... it means a lot.”
The big dog was stomping its paws in excitement beside us, clearly barely able to wait for dinner to start.
Before | could say a word, Nathan had already served up the dog’s meal. The big furball bounced around him,
tail wagging with pure happiness.
| watched Nathan crouch on the floor, reaching out to pet the dog's head. In that moment, my heart twinged

Nathan stood up and turned to me. “So, would you want to stay here and be the woman of this home?”

Nathan took a step closer, and when he saw how startled | was, he let out a soft laugh. “Sorry, | was just joking. |
know you don’t really believe in marriage anymore.”
| stepped back, my fingers gripping the back of the chair, and gave a bitter laugh. “Yeah, I've seen what
marriage is really like. | don’t think | could make another one work.”
Nathan's gaze lingered on my face for a few moments before he looked away and headed to the kitchen to wash
up.
| bit my lip, suddenly realizing how quiet things had gotten between us.
When Nathan cout of the kitchen, he said, “Why are you just standing there? Sit down and eat.”
“Okay!” I hurried off to wash my hands too.
We sat down at the table and started enjoying the delicious food. | picked up my phone and saw it was flooded
with messages full of New Year's wishes.
Nathan grabbed his phone too and senta gift in our little group chat. Then he looked up atwith a grin.
“Here's a gift from the group leader. Hurry up and grab it before Mr. Holcomb beats you to it.”
| was mid-sip of my soup and almost forgot to swallow.
Just as | was about to grab the gift, Jared snatched it up first. | nearly choked on my soup.
“He's so fast!” | exclaimed, a little annoyed.
Nathan let out a low laugh. “Mr. Holcomb really leaves you speechless sometimes.”
Luckily, Jared sent the gift back and even topped it up with sextra cash. He messaged, “Sorry, grabbed the
wrong gift. Victoria, this one’s for you.”
| just shook my head-Jared is honestly unbelievable.
“Why does he do stuff like that?” Nathan asked.
| raised an eyebrow. “No idea. He just loves to mess around.”
