My Past is Just Prologue (Janet and Nathaniel)
Chapter 262

Chapter 262 Do You Like Me?

The three of them turned around at the same time.

As soon as Janet saw Nathaniel, the smile on her face disappeared.

Nathaniel showed his great figure in a black suit. His legs were long and straight. With a tie, he looked extremely decent and composed.

However, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were as cold as a pool of winter

water.

Ernest and Orville changed their expressions as well. They stared at

Nathaniel in disgust, as if they saw someone annoying.

"What are you doing here?" Janet was propped up in bed casually, looking at

Nathaniel with an indifferent face.

Nathaniel felt extremely unhappy as Janet treated him totally differently from

Ernest and Orville. She had been joking with them.

He held back his displeasure and other feelings, walking to Orville with a straight face.

As Nathaniel was a little taller than Orville, he looked down at Orville from

above. All of a sudden, he reached out and grabbed the pocket watch in

Orville's hand.

Orville opened his eyes wide and tried to grab it back.

Nathaniel fiddled with the pocket watch. With the sapphire on the watch shining faintly in his hand, he seemed to be more noble and unrevealing. In addition to the sneer on his face, he looked intimidating. Although he had a pretty appearance, one wouldn't have a good impression of him when hearing him speak. "I'm curious about what a beautiful pocket

watch looks like."

In an instant, Janet wore a sullen look and looked at Nathaniel with a hint of

mockery.

She found it funny since it was the first time she heard Nathaniel praise her things.

Unlike her, Orville was angry at Nathaniel's mocking tone. In particular, the

pocket watch was the only gift Janet had given her.

He could no longer remain calm and tried to snatch the watch from

Nathaniel's hand. However, he failed as the latter raised his hand.

Nathaniel laughed at Orville, "Mr. Southey, what's wrong? Isn't it just a pocket

watch? Why are you so anxious? I just want to take a look."

With a gloomy face, Orville said straightforwardly, "I value it deeply. I can't

bear to part with it. Are you unsatisfied with it?"

Nathaniel was lost for words for a while. He looked at Orville in disbelief.

Ernest laughed out loud when seeing Nathaniel's startled and dark

expression. He made fun of Nathaniel and wasn't afraid of annoying

Nathaniel at all.

Janet worked hard to hold back her laughter. It was because the wound on her stomach would hurt if she laughed loudly.

Orville looked up at Nathaniel and curled his lips up in ridicule. He shot daggers at Nathaniel. "The pocket watch is mine. Give it back to me."

The smile that flashed in Janet's eyes was caught by Nathaniel. Anger,

shame, and dissatisfaction arose from his heart at the same time. Nathaniel

said as his face turned gloomy, "Mr. Southey, here you are."

Get Boje

Suddenly, Nathaniel released his hand, and the pocket watch fell straight to

the ground before anyone else could react.

Orville's expression changed, and he had no time to argue with Nathaniel anymore. He rushed to catch the pocket watch. He lost his balance and fell to the ground by accident.

Janet sat up straight, and the smile on her face was replaced by worry.

"Orville..."

"Janet, I caught it!"

Orville lay on the ground, holding up the pocket watch and looking at Janet excitedly. He was happy even though his expensive suit was stained and

wrinkled.

As soon as Orville's innocent face came into her sight, Janet's heart sank. She had planned to give the pocket watch to a collector. Surprisingly, it was given to Orville by accident. She could tell how Orville cherished it.

Not only did Orville treasure it, but Janet also liked it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have used it as a return gift.

However, Nathaniel threw it out like a piece of trash.

What if Orville failed to catch the pocket watch? It would fall to the ground

and break into pieces.

It made sense. Nathaniel didn't care if the watch would be ruined or not at

all.

She loved him deeply and did everything she could to please him for three years. Nathaniel had never taken her seriously, let alone a pocket watch.

Get Bou

Nathaniel was rich enough to get whatever he liked. It was natural that he thought lowly of Orville's pocket watch.

Janet curled her lips in self-mockery.

Since Janet was depressed, Orville stepped forward and showed her the pocket watch in his hand. He comforted her in a cheerful voice, "Look, it's fine. It's not broken. I can protect it well."

The pocket watch in Orville's hand reminded Janet of how Nathaniel treated

her over the past three years. She let out a light breath and said to Ernest and Orville, "Can you go out for a while?"

Orville had wanted to refuse, but he at last stopped as Ernest pulled his

sleeve.

Ernest knew that Janet wanted to talk with Nathaniel alone. He was

confident in her. Since she had the courage to divorce Nathaniel and cut off

her relationship with him back then, she wouldn't change her mind and be together with him anymore.

Ernest cast a glance at Janet before pulling the reluctant Orville out of the

ward.

Moreover, Ernest ordered the servant, who was responsible for taking care of Janet, to leave as well. Soon, there were only Janet and Nathaniel in the

ward.

Just as the door was closed, it became deadly silent in the ward.

"What are you trying to say? Are you blaming me for throwing away that

pocket watch?" Nathaniel asked Janet with a serious face.

Without a word, Janet sat on the bed and fixed her eyes on Nathaniel. It

seemed that she had met him for the first time.

Nathaniel frowned slightly, noticing that Janet was in a bad mood. He took a few steps closer, "What's wrong?"

What did she want to say?

Janet had never looked at Nathaniel so calmly.

She was desperate to gain his heart and thought herself inferior to him over the past three years. After they separated, she could hardly suppress the resentment and hatred in her heart whenever she saw him

It was the first time she had scrutinized Nathaniel like this.

"Nathaniel, do you like me?" Janet asked suddenly.
