NovelEnglishChapter 243
Nathalie was a bit puzzled. "Nathan, you've got a blind date today. | can take care of the work for you."
"Work's important. We'll head out right after visiting Grandpa," Nathan replied, all serious and no-nonsense.
Nathalie sneaked a glance at his odd outfit. Whether it was for a blind date or a business meeting, he really
should've put more thought into his appearance.
Still a bit lost in thought, she suddenly found herself being pulled into the hall by Nathan, playing the role of his
sidekick.
"Grandpa, we're here to see you," Nathan announced, holding Nathalie's head and bowing in sync with her to
Mason.
Mason's expression soured the moment he saw Nathalie. But being the seasoned diplomat he was, he lightly
explained Nathalie and Nathan's relationship to the Stewart family, "Ms. Nathalie, Nathan's an adult now. It's
tto let him spread his wings. You don't need to shadow him everywhere."

Nathalie had a lightbulb moment and quickly clarified, "I'm just here to take Nathan to work."
Mason's face brightened with a smile, but when his eyes landed on Nathan's bizarre getup, his grin faded.
"Nathan, what on earth are you wearing?"
Feigning innocence, Nathan said, "Grandpa, | spent ages on this look today. Isn't it ruggedly handsome?"
Mason covered his eyes in exasperation. "You... really overdid it."
Ashley, standing nearby, examined Nathan, shaking her head all the while. "Mason, you said Nathan was
stunning and incredibly talented, right? But the man standing here... is just so average."
Worried Nathan might miss out on a good match, Nathalie jumped in to save the day. "Mr. Nathan's just having
an off day. His makeup skills are hiding his usual... dashing looks."
Suddenly, Nathan pulled her into a hug, clamping a hand over her mouth. He whispered warmly in her ear,
"Nathalie, sometimes silence is golden."
Nathalie reluctantly zipped it.
Their cozy display made Mason's face turn stormy.
Ashley, however, took it in stride. Realizing her blind date wasn't her type, she politely told Mason,
"Nathan's got a unique vibe, but he's not my type. Let's just skip the blind date, shall we?"
Mason, now thoroughly peeved, glared at Nathan.
Seizing the moment, Nathan made a quick exit, "Grandpa, Nathalie and have surgent work to handle, so
we'll be off. I'll make it up to Ms. Ashley another time."
Mason was fuming, but Ashley's father Regan was more relaxed, "Work's important. Let him be."
Mason grudgingly waved them off.
Once Nathan hopped into Nathalie's car, he couldn't wait to borrow something. "Nathalie, where's your makeup
bag? | need it."

Nathalie, a bit mystified, handed over her stuffed makeup bag.
Nathan dug out the makeup remover, poured a hefty amount into his palm, and rubbed his hands together
before scrubbing his face vigorously. Nathalie watched, wide-eyed, now certain. "You messed up your look on
purpose."
Nathan dropped the act. "I wanted to see if she'd judgeby looks alone. Turns out, Ashley's just another one
of those."
Nathalie gently advised, "Nathan,
magic of love often starts with a
spark. Everyone loves
things; there's nothing wrong with that."
She added, "Ashley's not only pretty and lively but also from a powerful family. Being with her could make your
future a lot easier.”
