As a man, he was saved by his sister.
He felt guilty.
Nathan ran away from the Forbis family and drove his car back to home.
At home, Mrs. White just returned from a facial treatment. Although she was elderly, but she looked like a thirty-year-old woman as she was well preserved. When she saw him was in a hurry, she frowned, “How old are you? Why are you still fussy?”
“When Victoria sought for your help as her family was in trouble, didn’t you help her?” Nathan interrogated his mother.
Mrs. White was shocked for a while, then asked him unpleasantly, “Did you go the Forbis family again?”
“I’m asking you now!” Nathan had never spoken so loudly to his mother. He was anxious this time.
He couldn’t believe that his mother was the kind of person like Victoria said.
Mrs. White sat down on the sofa and looked up at him, “Your father had passed away early and it’s hard for me to support the White family alone until now. All the hardships…”
“I’m asking you whether Victoria had came to you before!” Nathan interrupted her.
“Yes!” she was getting angry as a woman could make him so anxious.
“Are you a man? Are you still my son? How dare you come and question me because of a woman?”
Nathan seemed to be struck by lightning, standing there distractingly. After a long time, he just figured it out, “Was you on purpose when you asked me to go abroad to introduce those equipment?”
She didn’t say anything.
“Was it also your trick as my phone fell into the water?”
“You arranged people to make trouble for me when I was abroad so that you can delay me from returning?”
Nathan continued interrogating her.
Mrs. White didn’t deny, “That’s right. At that day after Victoria’s birthday and you came back, I received a call from Victoria, telling me that his father had passed away. No one will know how the Forbis family is going to be after her father died as he’s the only one who is capable. Therefore, I asked you to go abroad in order to prevent Victoria from contacting you. I pretended to drop your phone into the water accidentally, so you could use my phone and I replaced your phone card with mine when you were changing it. Then, I would say that I got mixed up after you left and found out that it wasn’t your phone number. Meanwhile, I went to their house to see her father, in fact I shut down her phone and threw it away when she was extremely grieved, so that you couldn’t contact each other.”
“How could you do that?” Nathan didn’t seem to know his mother standing in front of him, “Didn’t you like Victoria a lot?”
“I like her because she is a member of the Forbis family, but is she still the heiress of the Forbis family after her father died? As expected, many things happened in succession once her father died.”
Mrs. White grabbed his shoulders, “Wake up! You’re the heir of the White family. Which type of woman you can’t have? The Forbis family was defeated and Victoria was nothing at all. She’s not good enough for you and you should find a better woman who is well-matched with your family background so that she can help you in the future.”
Nathan looked at his mother and spoke to her with his hoarse voice, “But I really like her! I want to marry her! I want her to be my wife…”
Slap!
Mrs. White was exasperated and she slapped him, “Can you be more ambitious?”
Just a woman!
“She had raised about ten million dollars of goods payment overnight. How do you think?” Mrs. White glared at him, “I saw her get into a luxury car and I’m sure that she’s not a virgin anymore. Do you want a woman who has been played by others…”
“Ah!”
Nathan couldn’t accept her mother and what she said. He pushed her away and ran outside quickly.
He ran to the river where he and Victoria liked to go before. The clear river water was trickling.
Both of them always came there to have a date and he put his arms around Victoria, enjoying the peace that only belonged to them.
At the day before her birthday, they had came there. He hugged her and said, “You’ll turn twenty years old tomorrow.”
“So?”
Nathan kissed her face, “We can get married.” He said when he was holding her waist, “You’ll give birth to many children and we don’t go anywhere, just have a simple life here. Do you think it’s good?”
She was in his arms and her eyes filled with tears, “Nathan, will you love me forever?”
He answered affirmatively, “Yes, I’ll not never let you down and I’ll love you and like you forever. I’ll protect you from suffering any harm.”
She hugged him tightly and said jocularly, “I’m willing to marry you and give birth to many children. In the future, I’ll turn Podon into White City, where all the descendants of the White Group will stay here…”
He kissed her hair and teased her, “Forget the Forbis family also.”
She hugged him and took an initiative to kiss on his lips, “I’ll follow you regardless of any circumstances…”
“You’re teasing me?” Nathan pretended to be serious.
“You would have been…”
“What did you say I was?”
Victoria was afraid that he would punish her. She pushed him away and ran away.
He chased after her, “You better stop, otherwise I’ll never let you go!”
She laughed and looked back at him, “How’re you going to treat me?”
Nathan smirked and said, “I’ll marry you and lock you in the room, then enjoy your beautiful look, look at you and love you…”
“Shame on you!” she grinned with disgust, “We don’t know each other… ah!”
She ran too fast and she accidentally stepped on a stone. Her whole body tilted down.
“Be careful!”
Nathan ran quickly towards her and caught her at the moment she was going to fall down. However, he couldn’t stand up and he could only take her in his arms due to the inclination of his body. He fell down and his back faced to the ground first.
His back was painful as there were a lot of stones by the river. He grimaced in pain.
She checked his body in panic, “Where does it hurt? Is it very painful?”
He grabbed her hands and looked at her. In the next second, he held her head and kissed on her lips.
They embraced each other and kissed by the river, enjoying the sweetness of love.
“After your birthday, I’ll ask my mother to propose a marriage. Just tell me what kind of wedding dress you want, I’ll ask someone to customize it…”
“I don’t need anything as I stay with you.”
“I don’t want you to be upset. Sure I’ll organize a grand wedding for you and marry you, telling everyone that you’re my wife!”
He shouted toward the river and the vast sky.
Even though the sweetness seemed to be in front of his eyes and the vows were still echoing in his ears, he couldn’t find the bride that he wanted to marry.
Where had she gone?
Nathan roared.
He couldn’t accept this change and he even couldn’t accept that Victoria disappeared from his world.
Once again he went to the Forbis family.
Victoria shut him out and didn’t let him in, “Our family has nothing to do with the White family anymore and your engagement had been canceled. Please leave.”
He was not resigned to leave and he knocked the door frantically, “Please let me see her, or else I’ll not leave even if I die!”
Victoria just thought he was crazy, “There’s no need to do so. Can you lose your mother? No, you can’t be unfilial. Your mother had looked down on our family, so please go back for the sake of everyone.”
Knock, knock.
The door was being knocked by Nathan frantically and his palms were numb and he couldn’t feel his palms, “Please let me see her!”
Victoria sighed, “Just stay here as long as you like.”
He turned around and went into the house after finished saying this.
Nathan stayed there for three days and three nights without eating and drinking.
Mrs. White couldn’t stand her son to suffer, so she brought people over there and took him back forcibly, “Can you be more ambitious?”
“I won’t leave even I die, unless you return Victoria back to me!” Nathan’s attitude was resolute and he kicked whoever came to pull him crazily. He was as mad as a hatter.
Mrs. White was angry with him and beat her chest, “How did I give birth to such a useless son! Isn’t it just a woman? I’ll find you any type of woman you want!”
“I don’t want! I only want Victoria! I only like her! She’s the only one I like!” His voice was getting softer and he sagged wearily on the ground.
He covered his face and said with his muffled voice, “Why did you break off our engagement? Why?
How could you do this without my consent? How could you do that? Am I your son? Hehe, have you ever respected me, asked for my thoughts and treated me as your son?”
Mrs. White was speechless and her face looked pale. What’s the thing that is most heartbreaking in the world?
There was nothing more heartbreaking than her son that she had brought up couldn’t understand her.”
She was distressed, “What I did was for your own good. Why didn’t you understand?”
“I’d rather you didn’t do it for my own good!” He still sat in front of the Forbis family, “Please leave as I won’t leave until I see Victoria.”
Mrs. White felt she would be exasperated if she continued staying there.
“Nobody will stop you if you like to spoil yourself. She won’t feel upset because I’m the only one who really love you!”
Victoria went about as usual in the morning, she waited for Jayden to leave before leaving herself, so as to avoid the awkwardness when meeting each other.
After all, their current statuses were weird.
They weren’t considered strangers, because they had met each other before; but even if they were considered close friends, they hadn’t met many times, and didn’t understand the personality of the other party.
Living under the same roof, they hadn’t even had breakfast together before.
Because Jayden would never have breakfast at home. As for night time, she would already be resting when he came back.
One left home early and came back late, another was intentionally avoiding the other, hence the both of them never got to meet at all.
