His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 410

Nathaniel had been drinking for quite a while since feeling down. He had never felt like this before, and it was like everything was over.

“Hey, handsome, it’s such a bore to be drinking alone. Why don’t you join me?” An attractive woman approached Nathaniel and started to hit on him.

Nathaniel raised his head to look at the woman but could not make out who she was as he was already quite wasted, “Sure, why not.”

Suddenly, someone came over and shoved the lady aside, ignoring her yells of protest. Nathaniel roared intoxicatedly, “Who are you?! How dare you…” Before he could finish his sentence, someone dragged him to the bar entrance by his collar.

“W-Who are you? W-What are you trying to do?” He was slightly sober now as he stood outside the bar shivering from the cold wind that blew. Although the commotion attracted some attention, it was normal at a bar, so everyone continued having fun after a while.

Bang!

The person shoved Nathaniel into the backseat of a car, and the door slammed beside him. Since he was drunk, he was half-kneeling in his seat, trying hard not to throw up.

“How dare you?” Nathaniel started again before someone splashed him with a cold glass of water. It was already winter, so he shivered and opened his eyes.

“Are you sober now?” He finally realized who had splashed him with water when he heard the familiar voice. When the lights inside the car turned on, he saw his mother’s arrogant yet beautiful face.

“Mother, waa….” Nathaniel cried, unleashing all his pent-up frustration and unfairness he felt. He lay his head on Eloise’s lap and sobbed uncontrollably. Nathaniel was just like a child who got bullied at school, finally able to release his anger and frustration to someone he trusted.

“B-But I…” Nathaniel started.

Eloise ignored what he had to say and continued, “Remember what that sc*m father of yours wanted to do at the casino? He wanted to trade us like some commodity to continue gambling. I could overcome all our early hardships alone, and do you think it was all rainbows and sunshine that I got to remarry into the Knight family?

“Do you know how many challenges I had to overcome? Do you know how many dirty schemes I had to avoid? Now, you’re crying over such a small matter!”

“I…” What Eloise said made Nathaniel feel ashamed, so he stayed silent for a while.
