Chapter 76
“Nathan!”
Seeing Nathan drag Emilia away, Fiona hurriedly tried to catch up to him.
“Stop!”
Noah slammed his cane onto the coffee table before him heavily. This frightened Fiona and Caroline so much that they shuddered
subconsciously. They looked at Noah’s furious expression as he scolded, “Are you trying to piss me off?”
“No, Dad. I was just worried…”
Ultimately, Noah was the one holding all the authority. Fiona looked in the direction where Nathan and Emilia left and then back at Noah. She could only sigh and slump back into her chair.
“Nathan, what are you doing? You’re hurting me.”
Nathan forcefully dragged her out of the room, and with her legs. comparably shorter than Nathan’s, Emilia could only trot after him, staggering and barely following Nathan’s pace.
Soon, Nathan stopped at a corridor in the Miller mansion.
“You…”
Emilia felt a little confused about Nathan’s sudden behavior.
Nathan looked down and saw a red patch on Emilia’s wrist due to his grip. He instinctively loosened his hand.
Nathan pressed Emilia’s shoulder and looked straight at her.
“Emilia, why did you approach me on purpose back then? As Grandpa said, you didn’t need to do any of this with how the Saunders family was back then. What was your motive?”
Nathan’s voice was tense, laced with a hint of questioning.
Ever since their divorce, this was the first physical touch they had. This made Emilia feel uncomfortable. She could only take a few steps back until Nathan forced her into a corner where she could not retreat any further.
Her back was against a slightly cool wooden pillar, as Emilia was Confronted with a face she had loved dearly for years. Hearing his interrogating voice, a memory from ten years ago came to her mind.

“You’re going to be fine. Don’t be afraid.”
“Don’t worry. I’m here.”
“Don’t look…”
After the car accident, due to the pain inflicted on her body and despair in her heart, she could not help trembling in Nathan’s arms. It was then Nathan comforted her with a tender voice.
“I told you…”
She sensed a familiar scent on Nathan’s body, a faint fragrance of sandalwood created specifically for him by a top perfumer. She had chosen it for Nathan to dab it on his clothes. Emilia quietly lowered her head, trying to hide her true feelings..
“It was because I liked you and wanted to marry you.”
Hearing Emilia frame her words like a confession, Nathan’s heart skipped a beat.
“So, the one and only daughter of the Saunders family became so lowly because of her love for a man? So much so that you even went so far as to hide your identity and refused to have a wedding?”
Although Emilia repeatedly mentioned that she liked him, he
instinctively denied her words. Perhaps Nathan’s unwillingness to acknowledge it was to be blamed.
Emilia raised her head to look at him and saw his cold lips, tall nose, and suspecting eyes.
With a wry smile, Emilia shrugged helplessly. “It’s up to you to choose. whether to believe it. I’ve already spoken the truth.”
Nathan gazed at Emilia and could not help but frown, as if he was considering whether Emilia was trustworthy.
“I thought I had expressed my feelings quite obviously after putting so much effort for past three years. Yet, you always thought I
Du for the had ulterior motives. Well then, I’d like to ask you, the wise Mr. Miller, what intentions do you think I have?”
Nathan’s eyes widened at Emilia’s question.
He suddenly thought about the time before his divorce from Emilia. Back then, he had gotten drunk once.
“Excuse me, I’m here to pick up Mr. Miller. Is he here? I heard he had too much to drink.”

Back then, Nathan, although slightly drunk, had not reached a point where his mind was a blur. When Emilia entered through the door, the men’s expressions changed drastically upon seeing her glorious appearance.
“You’re here to pick up Mr. Miller? Who are you to him?”
“Maybe you’re someone who wants to take advantage of Mr. Miller while he’s drunk.”
“Haha! Mr. Miller is one of the best eligible bachelors in Radford. It’s normal for women to have these thoughts.”
“Miss, I’m afraid Mr. Miller won’t let you touch him. Why don’t you come to me? I have a few assets under my name. Perhaps I can satisfy you.” Emilia’s face turned pale after hearing those vulgar remarks.
“What did I say back then?” Nathan thought.
Nathan could not remember anymore.
Based on his memories, he could only recall Emilia with her back facing him as she said, “I’m Mr. Miller’s friend. I must bring him home today. As for the wine, I’ll drink it in his stead.
Nathan, who had always been indifferent, was affected by Emilia for the first time.
“Are you stupid, Emilia? How dare you drink wine with those people?”
Nathan dragged Emilia on the way home. Unlike his usual cold voice, his tone was tinted with frustration.
However, Emilia said nothing more. She merely accompanied him quietly and allowed him to take her home. She also made him a hangover remedy, helped him change out of his soiled clothes, and wiped his body, knowing he was a germaphobe.
He scoffed and said, “Emilia, you don’t need to put up an act. It’s useless. I won’t love you. Don’t you love money? I’ll give you money, so you can step down from your position. You’re just a scheming woman, but you deliberately act like this. You disgust me, Emilia.”
Now that he thought about it. Nathan acknowledged he had crossed the line. In addition to what Emilia said now, she married him not to obtain anything from the Miller family but because she simply loved him.
Nathan’s heart surged with a wave of conflicted emotions.
“Emilia, when did you start liking me?”

Nathan’s tone changed slightly as he looked down at Emilia with deep
eyes.
