My Sweet Wife

The banquet was still wrapping up, some businessmen were still climbing into conversation with each other, and some of the things that they hadn’t finished talking about because of the auction were still being talked about.

At this time, Larissa’s dad was theorizing with one of the old bosses, “Mr. Loup, you’ve already promised me everything, aren’t you too much without a bit of credit if you’re going back on your word like this?”

“Credit?” Mr. Loup sneered, followed by a look at Larissa’s dad from top to bottom with a tempered gaze.

“I say to you, don’t use those two words on me. It might work better if you moved on to something else, and besides, I was just drunk and talking out of my ass, I didn’t sign a contract with you guys.”

Larissa’s dad’s face reddened with anger at him and he glared angrily, “You …”

“Don’t you you. We’re all people of status and position, it’s too degrading for you. You are also a businessman, and you also know clearly that our interests are important before businessmen. When I first wanted to cooperate with you, it was also because I valued that you have such a son-in-law as Nathanael Lora, and thought that if you do business, it’s impossible not to make a profit, and based on your son-in-law’s status in the city, we should all give a face.”

“But now that I’ve come to this banquet, I realize that I thought wrong. The relationship between your daughter and Nathanael Lora doesn’t seem to be very good, and Nathanael Lora is bringing other women, to this kind of occasion. Since Nathanael Lora and your daughter don’t have a good relationship, he definitely won’t take care of your business because of your daughter.”

“Besides, I was just casually talking to people about you before, and your son-in-law didn’t help you once.”

“Don’t get on my nerves either, we’ll always have to meet in the future.” After Mr. Loup finished those words, he turned around and held up his abdomen, and was about to stride away with great pomp and circumstance.

Just as he turned around, his figure froze, and he looked at the person in front of him in surprise, “President Nathanael …”

He couldn’t say that he was weak, although he didn’t say anything bad about Nathanael Lora just now, but looking at Nathanael Lora this face, he felt afraid.

For a good half a minute, he stammered again and asked, “President Nathanael … how long have you been here?”

“Mr. Loup, what you should want to ask is how much I heard.” Nathanael Lora slowly lifted her lips, extremely slow and methodical, her narrow danfeng eyes slightly half narrowed, seemingly smiling.

Mr. Loup vainly afraid and buried his head a little lower again, “Eh … yes. You …”

“Mr. Loup, don’t be afraid. I heard everything you just said, but what you said is just the truth, there is nothing to be afraid of. I’m here and haven’t gone away, and it’s only to have a word with you, Mr. Loup.”

“It’s not that my wife has no weight with me, it’s that Mr. Loup you don’t know that my wife and this Mr. Elbert, have gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau to disassociate themselves. So this Mr. Elbert has nothing to do with my wife, much less with me. I’m telling you this because I don’t want any more like you, who are looking at me, The Lora family, Nathanael Lora, to work with this Mr. Elbert.”

A statement whose tone was light, as if it were a simple narration, yet had the force of a knockout punch.

The words were spoken so bluntly, the surrounding old bosses who were passing by, heard these words from Nathanael Lora, they were remorseful, “No wonder, no wonder President Nathanael didn’t help Mr. Elbert. some time ago, I cooperated with The Elbert family, I really lost a lot of money. ”

“This Elbert’s company is like the grasshopper in the fall, there is no prospect of development, and it probably won’t last long. These first few years are still good, these days, have to give up the industry, with others to start up what it biotechnology, to now is really lost a lot!”

“That’s right, I’ll go back and remind my friends that they can’t work with Mr. Elbert anymore.”

Mr. Loup also nodded his head and responded, “I know, thank you President Nathanael for your reminder. It’s getting late, I still have things to do, so I’ll leave first.”

“Uh-huh.”

Only after hearing Nathanael Lora’s response did Mr. Loup let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly left with quick steps, as if he was fleeing.

Mr. Loup was also afraid of Nathanael Lora, after all, Nathanael Lora is a smiling tiger in the shopping mall, in fact, the wrist is poisonous.

Watching everyone, one by one, talking about him, walking away. Elbert wanted to say a few words for himself, didn’t have that chance, he caught up with Nathanael Lora who turned to leave, “Nathanael Lora … why, why did you do this to me?”

“Don’t you know better than to ask?” Nathanael Lora threw the question back at him.

Elbert shuddered, his back bending momentarily, “Even if I broke off my paternity with Larissa, but after all, I gave birth to her and raised her. I don’t ask you to help me in my career, but you can’t fall on your sword like this. For you to be … like this is tantamount to pushing me to my death!”

“I’m just telling a few words of truth, you’re really good at putting a label on me.”

Suddenly, a smile tugged at the corner of Nathanael Lora’s mouth, “Compared to what you did to Larissa, this is really nothing for me. Think about what you’ve done to Larissa, she’s only strong enough not to be driven mad by you.”

Elbert had been pushing Larissa for a little share.

After all these years of not caring or asking questions of Larissa, Larissa didn’t care and put up money to help him. If it weren’t for him, where would Larissa be so short of money that she’d go to bars, escorting people for money? Where would she have gotten into another scandal? Where would he have done that to her? Lately he’s been thinking about all the shit he used to do to Larissa.

Always wondering if Larissa was punishing him by being indifferent to him now.

“I …” Elbert saw Nathanael Lora stride away, momentarily bewildered and in an endless panic.

After all was said and done, all he had done was want to keep their family business with the last name of The Elbert family and didn’t want the company to be destroyed in his hands. What he did to Larissa, he was just angry that she was a traitor. Now that he and Larissa have severed their relationship, Nathanael Lora’s words just now are undoubtedly telling everyone not to work with his company anymore.

So, in the end, he still can’t keep his company, and The Elbert family’s business is still going to be destroyed in his hands.

Zafirah, who followed Nathanael Lora out of the banquet hall, couldn’t bear to look at Elbert twice more.

She hadn’t said anything just now, but now she couldn’t help but sigh, ”Alas, he is also so old. When I look at him like this, I’m really worried that one day, my father will also become so fragile because of business matters. But he’s really strange too, why would he want to cut ties with his daughter?”

“Brother Nathanael …”

Zafirah realized that she shouldn’t have said those words and spoke again in a hurry, “I’m really sorry Brother Nathanael, I won’t ask if you don’t want to answer.”

Nathanael Lora’s wrinkled brow made her blame herself, “You have been sick for so long, it’s not easy for you to recover physically. As promised, I accompanied you to this banquet to give you a break. It looks like you’re not in a good mood here, Brother Nathanael, and you’ve gotten a bellyful of upset.”

“It’s my fault, I shouldn’t be curious and talkative and ask what I shouldn’t.”

She bowed her head like a child who knew she had made a mistake. She had only just gotten out of college and had been well protected by her family, so she was more innocent than normal people. She couldn’t hide any emotions like that, so Nathanael Lora liked to spend time with her, treating her like a little sister.

“You’re right.” Nathanael Lora reached up and rubbed the top of her hair, following up with, “I can tell you anything you want to be curious about.”

During the time he had been sick, Zafirah had visited him every day to talk to him and relieve his boredom, he now thought of Zafirah as someone to talk to as well, and he saw the smile return to Zafirah’s face, following it up with, “I’ll tell you when you’re done, when you’ve finished, what you promised me.”

The family Old Lora was really in a rage and thought of urging Zafirah and Nathanael Lora to get married.

Nathanael Lora didn’t have the heart to deal with his grandpa, so the matter, was left to Zafirah. to help stall and also not let the Old Lora give up on finding her as his daughter-in-law, after all if he gave up on Zafirah, the Old Lora would surely go on to mull over some other candidate, and that’s when the matter would get complicated again.

“Oh, okay. brother Nathanael, I suddenly have a slight stomach ache and want to go to the toilet.” Zafirah covered her stomach, finished and rushed off.

Nathanael Lora looked at her back, when his cell phone rang, he glanced at the caller ID, it was Phoebe calling.

He put the phone to his ear and answered it, “Hello.”

“President Nathanael, the party should be breaking up by now, right?”

“Uh-huh.”

“I have something temporary here, I can’t go to the banquet venue to pick up Sister Larissa, please President Nathanael, you can pick up Sister Larissa back by the way.” Phoebe on the other end of the phone said with a smile.

It wasn’t that she had a temporary problem at all, it was just that she was resourceful and deliberately wanted to create an opportunity for Larissa and Nathanael Lora to be alone with the two of them.

She’d also made sure that Nathanael Lora was at the party, or she wouldn’t have said what she did.

Phoebe’s tone was extraordinarily ambiguous, ”I think you, President Nathanael, would be more than willing to do me this favor. Just please explain to Sister Larissa for me, I have something temporary to do, so that she must not deduct my salary ah!”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Without waiting for Nathanael Lora to speak, Phoebe continued, “President Nathanael, I won’t talk to you anymore, I’m going to get busy.”

Phoebe knew that Larissa was already a frequent hospital resident in order to take care of Cleo, she didn’t know that Larissa had refused to go home in order to do so, and Nathanael Lora hadn’t gone to the hospital to look for Larissa again lately. She, an outsider, could feel that the air pressure between them was so low that one couldn’t tell how depressing it was.

“By the way, President Nathanael, Sister Larissa, she presses the days, her regular vacation is going to visit, these days President Nathanael you watch her a little bit, the first day of her days to arrive, there will be little spirit, these days don’t let her be too tired.” Before hanging up the phone, Phoebe gave another advice.

Admittedly, Phoebe was a good assistant and was very sweet. She was the one who took care of Larissa before, and with Larissa’s strong nature, Nathanael Lora hadn’t even noticed the symptoms that would appear on the days of Larissa’s period.

Nathanael Lora responded, “Uh-huh. I know.”
