Chapter 166: 162, Nathan Moore, you have left a shadow in my heart (Another update, subscribe and get going!)"Thank you," Titus Zane picked up the wine gracefully, signaling to Nathan Moore with the gesture that was meant to be a courtesy, not expecting Nathan Moore to clink glasses with her. Looking at Titus Zane, Nathanās obsidian eyes held emotions sheād never seen before, as dark as ink, yet filled with something else.
Titus Zane forced a slight smile and turned towards the bar, casually resting a hand on something and bringing the red wine to her lips, taking a leisurely sip.
Her face slightly tilted upwards, facing forward, the corners of her lips slightly raised, her expression willful and casual.
Nathan Moore sipped his red wine, his gaze hazy under the neon lights, looking at Titus Zane and speaking softly.
"Youāve become prettier than before."
Titus Zane was taken aback, turning to him with a slight frown on her beautiful brows.
After collecting her thoughts, she raised her hand to touch her cheek and smiled coyly, "Of course, it would have been a waste of money on fine-tuning if I had gotten uglier!"
Nathan Moore looked down at the red wine in his hand, his lips curving slightly, and said faintly, "You were quite pretty before, too."
"Really?"
Titus Zaneās eyes widened in surprise, incredulously staring at Nathan Moore, not knowing how to react.
"You, from before..." Nathan Moore caressed the wine glass, his thin lips pursed, hesitating before speaking.
"You looked very..." He furrowed his brows again,
"No need, thank you." Nathan Mooreās gaze lingered on the pack of womenās cigarettes in Titus Zaneās hands, his lowered eyes hiding his emotions. Only after Titus Zane placed a cigarette between her lips and lit it did Nathan Moore ask softly.
"When did you learn?"
Titus Zane took a drag, turned her eyes to him, and exhaled slowly, the exquisite lighter still in her hand, "A few years now."
Nathan Moore knew that the "few years" Titus Zane was referring to must have been since she left. Before that, she always turned to alcohol to drown her sorrows, but she never touched such bad habits.
Once again dropping his gaze, his lips lifted into a faint smile, Nathan Mooreās voice was very low, as if he was muttering to himself.
"Try to smoke less in the future, itās bad for your health and can make your skin rough. Women are better off not smoking."
Titus Zane turned her eyes to him, exhaling the smoke from her mouth, and the words slipped out without thinking.
"You care about me, huh."
Nathan Moore...
Lifting his obsidian gaze, he stared blankly at Titus Zane, only to see her lips curve into a mocking yet slightly bitter smile.
"Nathan Moore," Titus Zane called his name, "Do you know, youāve cast a shadow in my heart," Titus Zane laughed, the curve of her lips growing, but her enchanting eyes shone with a hint of moisture.
Nathan Moore felt a tightness in his chest, watching as she lowered her gaze and continued, "Really, I couldnāt get past it for so many years."
