Chapter 100 Please Don&##x27;t Ask Any More

Mandy had lied to Nathan, hoping that he wouldn't find out who Bruce was. She didn't like Bruce, which
was why she didn't have any special feelings for him. For Mandy, Bruce was just a kind man whom she
could trust like he was family. However, the relationship between them seemed to have grown a little
complicated.

As she thought about this, she received a message on her phone. It was Bruce, and he was asking her
if she had eaten dinner already.

When she read his message, she sat up straight, suddenly remembering what Fiona had said to her
earlier. She looked at her conversation history with Bruce. Almost every day at around five o'clock in
the afternoon, Bruce would ask her if she had had dinner. On top of that, he would also message her
'good morning' at the break of light, and 'good night' before she went to sleep. Since Mandy was so
busy at work, she hardly got the chance to read the messages. And when she was off duty, she
couldn't open his messages because Nathan was around.

"Not yet. How about you?" Mandy replied out of politeness.

"I'm eating right now," Bruce replied just seconds later.

Mandy hesitated for a while and then decided to text him back, "Okay, have your dinner first. I'll talk to
you later."

With a sigh, she put down her phone and turned her attention to the piano. Her slender fingers glided
along the keys. They were cool and smooth. It was obvious that this piano was cleaned every day and
very well taken care of.

Mandy was in a daze as she stared down at the black and white keys. Once, there was a girl who
would come play with her. Sometimes Mandy would play and take the lead, and sometimes it would be
the other girl.



Now, with that girl gone, and Mandy felt that her music had lost its soul. No one else in the world could
replace that connection they had. The girl was always on the same wavelength as she was. Without
her, Mandy could do nothing but give up playing the piano.

Gently, she pressed her finger on one of the keys, its soft note ringing crispy in the air. At that moment,
Mandy felt so lonely in her heart.

Shaking her head, she closed the lid and turned around. To her surprise, Nathan was there, leaning
against the wall.

The sight of him made Mandy jump a bit, and a wave of thoughts came rushing through her head.

The sound of his leather shoes clacking on the wooden floors came to an abrupt end. It turned out that
Nathan had come to stand by her side.

"Why don't you play? Aren't you any good?" he asked coldly as he looked down at Mandy.

"Ah, no. I don't like playing the piano. In fact, I hate it," she lied in a panic. At that moment, she was so
nervous that her heart stopped for a second.

Once, Nathan had asked Mandy what her hobbies were.

"You can lie to me, but can you lie to yourself so easily?" Hearing this, Mandy became even more
nervous.

"I'm not lying to you. I hate the piano, and I hate music. Please don't ever bring this up to me again,"
Mandy said, feeling a bit faint. Talking about it was like opening up a scar that would never disappear.
Even touching it the slightest bit, caused a great amount of pain in her heart.

"Why not? Does it remind you of your previous lover?" There was a mocking tone in his sneer. Nathan
stood there in front of Mandy, his expression hadn't changed and his hands were crossed.



"You're talking nonsense! This has nothing to do with him."

"Really? How did you know which one I meant?"

"Nathan Jin, you're going too far," Mandy said with a frown on her face. Her clear eyes projected a
touch of anger as their conversation developed.

"Feeling guilty?"

Mandy turned around and looked at the closed piano lid. She stood up straight and said, "President Jin,
do you live by the sea? Why do you have to poke your nose into just everything?"

"If you wanted to live by the sea, just say it. My family owns several luxurious houses by the sea,"
Nathan said.

With a hint of excitement, Mandy glanced at Nathan and said, "Wow! You're so rich. I can't believe you
are showing off your prosperous family! Why are you making such a big deal of it if you're so damn
rich? Anyway, I'm going to have dinner now."

Nathan just smiled and fixed his eyes on the piano. The garden house whiffed a mixture of different
fragrances...

After eating dinner, Mandy sat on the sofa and attended to her dissertation. She had just recently
finished writing it and was now checking if it needed any revisions. Recently, Mandy was having
difficulty concentrating because of Nathan. She needed to focus on her dissertation and had decided to
ignore Nathan that night.

Nathan was scrolling on his tablet. Nobody knew what he was currently up to.

The phone suddenly rang. It was a WeChat message. Mandy had received a message from Bruce.
She didn't bother to reply and instead focused on her computer screen.



"Why don't you reply to the message?" Nathan asked mockingly. He was sneering and laughing at
himself.

Mandy ignored him. But how could he know that she had received a message?

While sitting comfortably on the sofa, the smile on Nathan's face deepened. "Have you eaten yet?"

Mandy stopped typing and looked up. She looked straight into Nathan's cold but beautiful eyes.

In the light, Nathan's thick eyelashes formed a mysterious shadow on his face.

Confused, Mandy's eyes flashed a hint of panic. How did Nathan know that she got a message from
Bruce?

While Nathan burst out in a strange laugh, Mandy was biting her lips nervously...

"Well? Is something wrong?" Nathan's cold voice was full of burning anger. It could almost burn a
person to ashes!

She closed the laptop and tried to act calm. She took a peek at Nathan's tablet and asked, "Did you
open my WeChat?"

But it was impossible, she reassured herself. Nathan had no idea what her WeChat password was.

"I'm not bored enough to do that. It popped up because you forgot to log out when you signed in the
other day." Nathan had the weirdest smile on his face, and the anger in his eyes became more
apparent. His face looked like he had been so badly betrayed.

"Okay." Mandy didn't feel the need to explain. She simply responded carelessly. The alias for Bruce
was Mr. Xu on her WeChat. She thought that should not cause Nathan to doubt anything.



"Really?" Nathan's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. His ferocious eyes looked so cruel and ferocious.

It was then that Mandy realized that something terrible might have happened. She wondered if Nathan
had seen her WeChat chat log.

Mandy was so nervous that she blinked her eyes and touched her nose involuntarily. Mandy knew that
whenever she did this, it usually meant that she had something to hide.

"Are you having a love affair with you sister's teacher, Mand?" Nathan asked as he looked straight at
Mandy. He suddenly let out a cold sneer.

Mr. Xu! His name was Bruce! Who else could it be?

"No, it is not what you think. He is the class supervisor of my sister." Knowing that Nathan was
extremely angry at this point, Mandy reasoned it out with him in a great hurry.

"Really? Will the class supervisor of your sister add you on WeChat? Will your sister's teacher send
you a message every day, greeting you good morning and good night? Who does he think he is talking
to?" The more Mandy talked, the angrier Nathan became. He wanted Mandy to stop explaining. Maybe
that would be better, he thought. As soon as Mandy finished explaining, Nathan felt cheated on. Until
now, she was cheating on him!
