Chapter 641
Nathaniel’s hand, holding the hot tea, paused momentarily. His eyes were hidden
underneath his long lashes, making it hard to gauge his emotions,
Sheena pretended not to notice his visibly displeased expression and continued probing,
“In Proania, you’re the fourth son of the Nicholls family, a wealthy and influential clan.
What status do you have here? Why should I believe you can really get Clear for me?!
Nathaniel calmly took a sip of tea, set down the cup, and then replied, “It’s true that I
have no significant standing here, but my mom is the current king’s only sister.”
Sheena was taken aback, not expecting him to be so straightforward.
He continued, “You just arrived and don’t understand the situation in Laubabwe. My mom
holds an imposing position as the current king’s sister. As she didn’t raise me all these
years, she felt guilty, and she promised me one request. Getting my hands on Clear is
simply too easy for me.”
Sheena thoughtfully processed this information, commenting, “So, your mom didn’t return
to Froania with your dad because she’s the royal princess, and she couldn’t leave?”
Nathaniel’s expression grew increasingly serious as he spoke of Kelly, replying, “No, it’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbecause she was already engaged at that time.”
Sheena remarked, “If that’s the case, your mom has likely been married for years, perhaps
with children of her own. While she can make promises to you, her current husband might
not easily agree, right?”
Nathaniel’s face darkened completely. “I confessed my background to you because you’ll
eventually marry me, and I wanted to be honest between us. But if you’re trying to get to
the bottom of this and sow discord, there’s no need to continue this topic.”
Sheena was surprised.
Was Nathaniel upset?
It seemed Nathaniel and Kelly’s husband did not have a good relationship.”
Perhaps she could use this to her advantage.
“If you don’t want to answer, that’s fine,” Sheena said, shifting the topic effortlessly. “I’ve
never seen a real European–style grand palace. What does it look like? Staying cooped up
here isn’t very interesting. When can you take me for a stroll?”
“No problem,” Nathaniel responded promptly. “You’ve had a tiring journey today. Rest
early, and tomorrow, I’ll arrange for you to visit the palace and meet my mom. She’s been
eager to meet you ever since she heard we’re getting married.”
The constant mention of marriage irked Sheena.

She promptly ordered him to leave, saying, “It’s getting late, and I’m sure you have other
matters to attend to. I won’t keep you for dinner here,”
“I do have other matters to attend to. Nana, you truly understand me!” Nathaniel smirked,
picking up his coat from the sofa. “Anyway, have a good night’s sleep, and we’ll meet
tomorrow. Oh, by the way!
Remember to call me Charles.”
Sheena remained silent, showing no intention to accompany him or see him off.
Nathaniel did not expect a more enthusiastic farewell, turning toward the door.
Just a few steps away, he recalled something and turned back with a skeptical look at
Sheena.
“I heard from Jamie that you brought a bodyguard. Why haven’t I seen him?”
“He’s traveling abroad for the first time and having a hard time adjusting. He’s down with
stomach issues and throwing up all day. He’s resting now,” Sheena explained.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNathaniel nodded thoughtfully.
Sheena poured herself some tea. However, she noticed that Nathaniel not only had not
left, but he had also walked back to stand in front of her.
Perplexed, Sheena asked, “Want another couple of cups of tea?”
Nathaniel smiled, slightly bending forward, pointing to his left cheek.
“Before I go, I’d like a little parting gift, a kiss from you!”
Sheena’s gaze instantly turned ice–cold, and a surge of anger burned within her chest.
Without hesitation, she emptied the remaining tea from her cup onto his face.
“Is that sobering enough for you? If not, I have a whole pot here! I can even boil some
water to help you freshen up!”
Nathaniel did not seem bothered at all; in fact, he appeared to relish it. “Tea that you have
tasted is fragrant even in its scent!”
His remarks repeatedly tested Sheena’s patience, and she clenched her fists.
“Get out!”
“Sure, I’m leaving.” Nathaniel took a tissue from the coffee table, wiped the tea stains off
his and strolled away casually. “Nana, you’re truly a feisty little beauty. I’m growing fonder
of you!“
