Chapter 159: 156, Nathan, your sister is back (4000+) Watching Olivia Zane round off her explanation, Lily didnāt want to expose her, always keeping a smile at the corners of her mouth, drawing a pretty curve.
Suddenly, she thought that to live in a world of self-deception must be so pitiful.
Ariana Evans glanced at Titus Zane, then looked back at Olivia Zane.
"Always flying around, Iām used to it now, what jet lag? You donāt want me getting upset with you, so why not just have him come over for a meal? Itās not like doing any physical labor."
Ariana was already reaching for the phone as she spoke, but Olivia Zane stopped her.
"Mom, let me call him myself, otherwise Nathan will be angry."
"Alright, you call." Ariana put the phone down, then turned to Titus, "Titus, you chat with Lily for a bit. Iāll go help in the kitchen - my daughter is home, and I need to personally cook a few dishes to feel at ease."
Titus was touched, "Mom, go ahead, Iāll take care of Lily."
Titus stood up, pushing Olivia Zane toward the landline, casually asking.
"Have you been living at home all this time?"
Olivia Zaneās hands on the handles tightened slightly, a flicker of panic in her eyes, but she concealed it well.
Smiling, she said, "Yes, ever since you left, I moved back home. Nathan often travels for work, and with such a big house, itās kind of lonely without anyone to talk to."
Titus chuckled and did not reply, delivering Olivia Zane to the landline before returning to sit on the sofa.
He didnāt want to give Olivia Zane any reason to suspect eavesdropping.
Olivia Zane picked up the landline and dialed Nathan Mooreās number.
"...Nathan, have you adjusted to the time difference yet?"
Nathan Moore furrowed his brow, glanced at his mobile phone to confirm the number was from the Zane Familyās landline, then brought it back to his ear.
He heard Olivia Zane continue, "Sisterās back, mom said letās have a family dinner, have a family reunion."
Nathan Moore was about to refuse, but hearing "family reunion," he happily agreed, "Okay."
"Then you should hurry over, momās already cooking, be careful on your way..."
After hanging up, Olivia Zane turned her wheelchair around, and Titus stood up to push her to the coffee table.
Just as she sat back on the sofa, Olivia Zane sighed, looking at her knees in complaint, "Ah, Nathan, he never gives one peace of mind, always needing me to remind him of this and that, despite being a grown man."
Titus at first didnāt want to expose her, but Olivia Zaneās roundabout tactics were truly repellent.
Pretending to grumble about Nathan Moore in front of her, wasnāt it just to prove to Titus that Nathan Mooreās heart belonged only to her, and he couldnāt live without her!
Laughing lightly, her full lips curved into a pretty arc, and her European-style eyes held a charm.
"If youāre so worried, you should go back, leaving a man alone at home, of course, is not as careful as a woman."
Olivia Zane raised her eyes, her expression briefly stiffened, then she scrunched her nose and said fiercely, "Hmph, I wonāt go back, who let him treat you like that back then!"
Titus suddenly found it amusing, the curve of her lips held a hint of sarcasm as she looked at Olivia Zane.
It seemed that when Nathan Moore treated her cruelly back then, this little sister played a significant role, didnāt she?
However, she didnāt want to revisit the past, just as she and Nathan Moore agreed, henceforth they owed each other nothing.
She caused the woman he loved most to become paralyzed, and he made her separate from her childhood sweetheart, thus, they were even.
The meal hadnāt started yet, and Nathan Moore had already arrived.
He was dressed casually, a smoke-grey V-neck T-shirt with dark casual pants, a jacket on top, and sports shoes on his feet.
His usually meticulously groomed hair was not deliberately combed and fell naturally over his forehead, shedding his usually cold and stern air and adding a touch of nonchalance.
Titus used to see him dressed like this often; after showering every night, he would visit her room in casual wear, seldom in pajamas.
When Nathan Moore appeared at the door, Titus did not greet him, her gaze falling, long lashes veiling certain emotions in her eyes.
"Nathan, mom asked you to come home for a meal, why are you dressed so casually?"
Olivia Zane wheeled over, her knitted brows revealing her displeasure.
Nathan Moore casually curved his lips, "Itās precisely because itās a family gathering that Iām dressed so comfortably."
Olivia Zane did not continue to grumble and was wheeled back to the hall by Nathan Moore, glancing at Titus deep in thought with her gaze lowered, then she turned to look at Nathan Moore.
"Nathan, Sisterās back."
"Hmm, I know." His brief three-word response left Olivia Zane stunned.
"You know? Have you seen her already?"
Titusās eyes lifted, her hands by her sides instinctively tensing as she looked directly at Nathan Moore.
