Chapter 466: Ignore Them for Now

‘It’s not like I’m bored enough to do something so stupid.’

Anne Sutton said to Nathan Fawcett, “Oh, by the way, Stella Shields came by today.”

“What was she doing here?” Hearing Stella Shields’s name, Nathan Fawcett was a little surprised.

Anne Sutton said, “She heard from somewhere that you adopted Finn, and she insisted on coming over to see him.”

“You let her see him?”

“Yeah.” Anne Sutton said, “She wanted to see him, so I let her. After she saw Finn, she seemed pretty devastated.”

“She always used to think that Ethan Linden was really into her. We all thought so too.”

If it hadn’t been for Ethan Linden, Nathan Fawcett wouldn’t have been so good to Stella Shields all those years ago.

But it turned out they were all wrong.

Hearing Nathan Fawcett’s words, Anne Sutton said, “Well, anyway, she looked pretty upset when she left.”

Nathan Fawcett said, “So, should I go comfort her?”

Anne Sutton: “…”

Looking at this infuriating man, she reached out and pinched him. “Then go! Hurry up and go! Why don’t you just marry her? Your grandfather wants you to get married anyway. Besides, aren’t you cured now? Even if it’s not me, you can be with someone else.”

Anne Sutton hadn’t forgotten that Nathan Fawcett had originally gotten together with her because he couldn’t touch other women.

But he had been cured a while ago.

Nathan Fawcett grabbed the hand Anne Sutton was pinching him with and said, “I was just kidding. Can’t you tell I was just teasing you?”

“Oh, you’re hilarious,” Anne Sutton said, rolling her eyes at him. “You’re going to be the death of me one of these days.”

Nathan Fawcett looked at her angry expression and said, “So… Ms. Sutton does have a place for me in her heart, right?”

“…” Anne Sutton looked at him and said, “Are you testing me?”

‘Why do I want to hit him so badly right now?’

Nathan Fawcett said, “When you rejected me, I was pretty heartbroken. For a moment there, I kept wondering if I held any place in your heart at all. So naturally, I have to confirm it now.”

He had been so sure before that Anne Sutton would marry him. Only at the very end did he realize that being overconfident in matters of the heart is not a good thing.

Especially when the one he was facing was Anne Sutton.

…

The woman he couldn’t get enough of, yet who could also break his heart.

Anne Sutton lowered her head, avoiding Nathan Fawcett’s eyes.

Nathan Fawcett held her hand, looking at her long fingers. “As long as I’m in your heart, I can wait. It doesn’t matter how long. If there comes a day you want to get married, remember to tell me, so I can be the one to marry you.”

“…” Anne Sutton looked at the man before her and nodded. “Okay.”

Nathan Fawcett smiled and said, “Let’s get some sleep! Aren’t you tired? You can sleep here.”

He made room for her on his bed.

Anne Sutton looked at the man and said, “Maybe I should just sleep on the couch.”

“What are you afraid of?” he asked, looking at her. “Come here.”

Anne Sutton had no choice but to lie down beside him.

The next morning, when Butler Walters came in, he saw Anne Sutton lying in bed while Nathan Fawcett was beside her, pouring her a glass of water.

“…”

If he hadn’t personally brought Nathan Fawcett to the hospital, he would have almost thought Anne Sutton was the one who had been admitted.

Nathan Fawcett was actually taking care of her.

Butler Walters was completely stunned!

Caleb Summers had come along today as well.

When he saw this scene, he was so furious he could have exploded.

He said to Nathan Fawcett, “Nathan, you’re a total disgrace to the brotherhood! You’re the patient, and you’re here taking care of her?”

Nathan Fawcett glanced at Caleb Summers unconcernedly and said, “You got a problem with that?”

“…” Caleb Summers had no idea how he could be so brazenly self-assured.

Seeing that they had arrived, Anne Sutton started to get up from the bed.

In reality, she had been the one taking care of Nathan Fawcett all night.

But she had only just fallen asleep for a little while this morning.

Nathan Fawcett felt bad that she had taken care of him for so long and insisted on pouring her a glass of water, which led to the scene they had just witnessed.

Nathan Fawcett sat down on the hospital bed and took the documents Caleb Summers handed him. He hadn’t been to the office for the past two days, so Caleb had been handling most things. For more important matters that Caleb couldn’t decide on, he would bring the documents to the hospital for Nathan to review.

Nathan Fawcett took the files from Caleb’s hands, looked them over, and gave him some feedback.

Seeing them start to talk about work, Anne Sutton said, “I’ll head out first.”

She left the hospital room.

Caleb Summers watched her leave, then his gaze fell on Nathan Fawcett. “You two made up?”

“We were never fighting.” ‘So what’s there to make up about?’

“She rejected your proposal, and you’re not even mad?” Caleb Summers stared at Nathan Fawcett in disbelief.

‘If it were him, after making such a grand proposal only to be shot down so publicly, he would never speak to that woman again for the rest of his life.’

Nathan Fawcett said, “Anne has me in her heart.”

He was very confident when he said this.

Caleb Summers was so exasperated he rolled his eyes. “I always thought being ‘lovesick’ was just an expression, but looking at you now, I finally understand what it really means! Nathan Fawcett, oh, Nathan Fawcett, can you please not embarrass the rest of us men? She treats you like that, and you still think you’re in her heart? Have you been PUA’d by her or something?!”

“…” Nathan Fawcett finished signing the documents and tossed them to Caleb Summers. “I know what I’m doing.”

“Just look at your boss.” Caleb Summers’s gaze landed on Butler Walters. “Do you think he’s still normal? Huh? He actually still thinks Anne Sutton loves him!”

“…” Butler Walters looked at Nathan Fawcett and could tell that he was in an unusually good mood.

His mood always improved when he was with Anne Sutton.

Compared to his depressed mood over the past couple of days, he seemed much more reassuring now.

‘Perhaps this was the magic of love!’

Seeing Butler Walters remain silent, Caleb Summers had no choice but to grab the documents and take off.

Butler Walters looked at Nathan Fawcett and said, “Sir.”

Nathan Fawcett looked at him and said, “You’re not going to run over here and spout nonsense like Caleb Summers, are you?”

“Of course not,” Butler Walters said. “As long as you’re happy with Ms. Sutton, that’s all that matters! Back when we were still in Westhaven, I never imagined I’d see the day you were in a relationship like a normal person.”

Hearing Butler Walters’s words, Nathan Fawcett glanced at him.

Butler Walters said, “Right, there is one thing I feel I should tell you. It’s about Charles Prescott.”

“What about him?”

“Charles Prescott has joined the Shields Group. He’s working for Justin Shields’s company.”

“…” Nathan Fawcett looked at Butler Walters in disbelief. “Are you sure?”

Butler Walters nodded. “Yes! Should we let Mr. Shields know?”

The Shields Family owed its success today entirely to Nathan Fawcett.

If Nathan Fawcett hadn’t promoted Stella Shields, they never would have developed so smoothly.

But who would have thought that Justin Shields would now bring Charles Prescott into his company.

He had no prior dealings with Charles Prescott, so bringing him in now was a clear provocation aimed at Nathan Fawcett.

Nathan Fawcett said, “Just ignore them for now. I have no interest in them at the moment.”
