Eleanor smiled and gazed at him with sparkling eyes.
"I think you're a good person."
Sebastian was surprised was the first time anyone had called him a good person.
And that person was Eleanor.
With a stern face, he simply said, "Let's eat." This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
"Sure!" Eleanor responded while picking up the chopsticks and started eating.
The food suited her tastes perfectly. After finishing, she offered to clean up.
Sebastian then asked, "Would you prefer to have a rest or to go for a walk?"
Eleanor slightly shook her head for she was not interested in going out. She was too weak to do anything and replied, "I'd rather lie down."
Sebastian noticed her pale face and said, "Then you should lie in bed."
Eleanor was speechless. How could he be insensitive?
She didn't feel like moving since her limbs were weak, which made her uncomfortable.
She lay down, pulled the blanket over herself, and closed her eyes to rest.
Sebastian watched her peaceful face and had complex feelings.
She told him the truth merely to get him to sign the divorce papers.
Such a cunning woman!
She would rather take risks just to tell him the truth!
After figuring this out, Sebastian's face turned extremely cold.
...
In a high-end club...
Michael brought Valentina over for a business meeting.
They had arrived early, and the person they were meeting hadn't shown up yet.
Michael ordered some snacks for Valentina.
Valentina leaned tiredly on Michael's arm while holding his hand.
Her face was still flushed from their moment of passion that ended not long ago.
Michael saw the enticing look on her face, smiled, and flirted with her, "Vana, are you still feeling tired?"
Valentina shook her head and replied with a bashful smile, "I'm fine. Tonight's guest was introduced by my father. If you manage to forge collaboration, it will take your business to the next level."
Her father hoped to have a connection with the prestigious Moore family. No matter which guy from the Moore family she married, it would bring only benefits to her family.
"Rest assured, I'll manage to persuade him," Michael confidently stated.
Except for Sebastian, he regarded no one as a rival.
The food Michael ordered was served. As he also felt hungry, they began to enjoy some snacks first.
Sienna happened to be the one who delivered the food. Seeing Michael eat, she gave a mysterious smile before leaving.
Unaware of anything unusual, the couple finished their meal. The dishes were cleared away just as their business partner arrived.
Sienna then went to the next place!
Caroline weighed her options and found herself more attracted to Nathan.
She spent a considerable sum to find out that Nathan would be at No. 1 Royal Club tonight.
Deciding to give it a shot, she dressed up and headed there to "accidentally" meet Nathan.
Initially, Sebastian seemed to be the ideal choice, but he was too intimidating.
The Logan family went bankrupt within just two days. The asset of over 14.2 billion dollars disappeared swiftly due to his influence.
The news about the bankruptcy sent shivers down her spine.
She then realized Michael would never surpass his uncle.
Thankfully, she made a timely retreat and decided never to get involved with that bastard again.
Now, her focus shifted to Nathan, and she was also curious about Eleanor's acquaintance with him.
Her hasty departure from the hospital earlier had left her frustrated. She was determined to discover Eleanor's true identity.
Nathan, with his mysterious background, was now a billionaire, and his enticing smile made him charming.
Every encounter with him sent her heart racing and made her even forget about Michael.
It appeared her feelings for Michael were not genuine love.
It was merely youthful obsession.
Now fully aware of his true nature, even that last bit of persistence had faded away.
The evening at No. 1 Royal Club was just beginning.
Knowing Nathan was at the bar, Caroline made her way directly to him.
Nathan stood out in the crowd, and even in the dimly lit bar, Caroline instantly spotted him seated in a booth near the bar counter, accompanied by a pretty girl who was dressed modestly. However, her skin was fair, and she looked really confident.
They seemed to be enjoying their conversation, for the girl laughed happily.
The music bar had a relatively quiet environment, with pleasant soft music.
Nathan, with his relaxed posture in the booth, held a glass of whiskey in hand and talked with a gentle smile.
It seemed as if the two were quite familiar with each other, with Nathan consistently maintaining eye contact with her as they spoke.
As Caroline slowly made her way towards them, she found Nathan's company far more pleasant than Michael's.
She must have been blind back then. She realized it was Michael's interest in Eleanor that drove her to win him over. He was the most charismatic man she had ever met in her youth.
That was why she had followed Michael these years and never spared another man a glance.
From a distance, Sienna stalked Caroline and noticed her attention on Nathan and April.
Sienna quickly sent a message to April.
April felt that her phone in hand vibrated, so she looked down.
It was a message from Sienna.
Sienna: April, ask Nathan to invite Caroline for a drink.
April secretly glanced at Caroline, and her eyes flickered. She asked in a low voice, "Nathan, Caroline is just behind you. Why not invite her over for a drink?"
A trace of disdain flashed across Nathan's eyes.
April felt a bit speechless. It was just about having a drink together, but Nathan looked as if he was being asked to sit with someone having an infectious disease.
Nathan looked up into Caroline's eyes.
Caroline hadn't expected him to notice her so soon.
It was the perfect moment to greet him, and Caroline walked over with a smile.
"Mr. Colton, what a pleasant surprise to see you here," Caroline said gently, with a shy smile and a graceful manner.
Nathan offered a polite smile and gestured to the seat opposite him. "Ms. Ryker, please take a seat!"
Without hesitation, Caroline nodded to April and sat beside her.
April cast a cold glance at her. Despite Caroline's outwardly gentle and attractive appearance, who could have guessed she was so cunning and vicious?
"Mr. Colton, shall we have a drink?" Caroline suggested and seemed to have ignored April's presence. All her attention was on Nathan.
Sitting close to him, she realized just how mesmerizing he was, and it was hard for her to divert her gaze.
Nathan slightly narrowed his eyes and replied with a subtle smile, "Of course."
He shot a glance at Sienna and frowned as if he had known Sienna's plans.
He then waved over a waiter.
The waiter quickly walked to him and asked respectfully, "Sir, what can I get for you?"
Turning to Caroline, Nathan asked, "Ms. Ryker, what would you like to drink?"
His gentle voice sounded as pleasant as a cello.
Caroline's heart fluttered, and she replied, "I'd like a glass of cocktail, please."
"A cocktail, thank you," Nathan said to the waiter.
"Right away, sir," the waiter replied with a smile before leaving.
It was then that Caroline turned to April and said, "Hello, I'm Caroline. Could we be friends?"
