Nate and Flo have dinner together. They looked so happy as they ate and talked about many things. Nate doesn't even feel embarrassed anymore when he talks about his relationship with his wife. And Nate felt that Flo was a good listener."I'm glad you're willing to be a good listener for me, Flo. Thank you," Nate said sincerely."It's okay, Nate. I'm glad you're willing to share your problems with me. At least it can ease your sadness. If you have any problems you're having or anything you're thinking about, you can tell me. I will listen to your every problem, Nate," Flo said with a smile. She wiped her lips because she felt some food residue sticking to them, but Nate quickly grabbed a tissue and gave it to Flo. It made Flo's heart flutter to be treated so sweetly by Nate."You too, Flo. If you have a problem you're dealing with or something that's bothering you. You can tell me right away. I'll be ready to help you," Nate said. smiling as Flo smiled at him and thanked him for bringi
That morning, Erica woke up early because, at 5.30a AM, Nick Lawson would pick her up in front of the house to go to the office together. She got ready while Nate was still fast asleep in bed. Erica didn't intend to wake him up because he looked exhausted.She didn't want to disturb Nate's deep sleep and she intended to leave once she was ready. Erica sighed repeatedly because she felt that her day had been very boring lately. Coming home at night and leaving early in the morning just to work until she felt like her body was about to collapse from exhaustion.What's more, her relationship with Nate was on the rocks so she felt like half her enthusiasm had disappeared. If only their relationship wasn't deteriorating, Erica would have confided in Nate and at least it would have made her feel relieved to have told Nate all her problems.Because that's what Erica always did before their relationship fell apart. And Nate will provide support, encouragement and say everything will be fine w
Nate was getting ready to go to his company, but before that, he would go to Flo's house to help her change the bandages on her head, and put medicated cream on Flo's hands and head. Nate was very happy that Flo's wounds were slowly getting better. It meant he had done a good job treating Flo.And he wanted to see Flo move her hand again so that she could do her activities without difficulty. And maybe, later Nate will help Flo to get some work that Flo can do so that Flo can regain her life that was destroyed during Flo's life. He had to work very hard to pay off all the debts owed by his uncle.Moreover, Flo was about to be sold at a women's auction. Nate will make sure Flo gets a better life after this. Get a good job, have a boyfriend, and then get married. Nate's only hope is to see Flo happy because she has been so kind and caring to Nate.Nate has considered Flo as his precious friend because Flo has been willing to listen to his complaints. They had an exciting time and Nate f
That morning, Erica went to the office with Nick. They chatted all the way about work or something they would do again later, and about Nick taking Erica to lunch at the restaurant he had looked up earlier."I heard that restaurant is very famous for its delicious cuisine and good service," Nick told her, "but if you don't like it, we can find another restaurant for lunch later."Erica turned her head sideways to look at Nick. "That's okay. I have no problem with the restaurant you chose," she replied with a faint smile."Perfect!" Nick exclaimed in a very good mood that day.Erica and Nick Lawson finally arrived at the company. As they got out of the car and entered the lobby, everyone who saw them walking together felt that they looked very compatible. But they couldn't say that for fear that they would be fired.But the staff preferred Erica to be with Nick Lawson who was of the same level as Nate who had no job at all and was just a poor man. Compared to Nate, Nick Lawson was more
Elsewhere, Nate was still at Flo's house. They had just had breakfast together and Nate also told Flo all his complaints. He felt relieved because he had told all his problems so that now Nate felt a little lighter. Before Nate felt so sad and didn't know who to tell."Flo, I am very grateful that you have been a good listener for me. I haven't known who to tell my problems to, and I've always kept everything to myself without telling anyone. Because I didn't have any friends who could listen to my problems," Nate said."You're welcome, Nate. You can make me your confidant. You can come to me whenever you have a problem and you can tell me everything until you feel relieved. That way, your burden is a little lighter," Flo said as she patted Nate's arm a few times with a smile.Nate smiled too. He hugged Flo as a thank you. "And thank you for breakfast. Everything was delicious and you're a very good cook despite the injury to one hand. Your future husband will be very lucky to have a
"Here! Wash them properly, you lazy swine!"A shrill voice called out and Nate turned around, only to find a bundle of stinky and dirty socks being thrown at him.He caught the muddy socks in his hands while stepping backwards, still shocked by this unexpected gesture. Standing at the door was Maria, his mother-in-law. Her hair was pinned up delicately and there was a layer of perfectly polished makeup on her face, but the effect was spoiled by her upset frown. "Why don't you wash these thoroughly? Can't you see how dirty they are, I can't have my precious laundry be handled so carelessly!"Her words were dripping with arrogance, while Nate, the dutiful son-in-law in this opulent household, found himself caught in the crossfire. Before Nate could reply or react properly, Erica, his wife, entered the scene. Horrified by her mother's audacity, she rushed forward, trying to intervene. "Mom, please! What is this? Nate has dignity too, you know!"Erica's frustration was clear in her v
In the grand hall of the McKinney family Mansion, all branches of the family had gathered, their faces reflecting the gravity of the situation. As Erica's uncle, the patriarch, stepped forward, an uneasy hush fell over the room."I am sure everyone gathered here knows the reason behind this meeting. The Rossi family has agreed to come to our aid, and they are willing to give enough resources that our financial troubles can be dealt with. But they do have an unusual bargain…"The gathering was waiting for him to explain further, and give his opinion on who the most suitable candidate was. But right then, Nancy, one of Erica's cousins, broke the silence;"Thank God! I know that at least I won't be the one to marry that ugly old man. You know, because I am already engaged to Victor! He is not only handsome, kind and intelligent, but he is quite well to do. And once we get married, his family can also help us out."She declared with an air of confidence, and her statement found favor amo
The collective surprise and confusion that had settled in the room after the announcement was suddenly interrupted by an unexpected eruption of laughter, when everyone realized that it was none other than Nate! Laughter rippled through the gathering, as nobody could believe that he had actually barged into the grand hall so freely. "What does he think he's doing?" whispered one family member, their eyes narrowing with scorn. The amusement spread like wildfire, and soon the room echoed with mocking remarks directed at Nate. "He says he doesn't agree? But who even asked him in the first place?" "Oh, look! This tramp also has something to say? What's next, should we call every servant in the mansion and ask them for their opinions? Or should we take the advice of all the bums from the street?" "I think we have tolerated this freeloader for too long, that he has started to think he can participate in a family meeting now!" The relatives quickly dismissed Nate's opinion with a wav
