Chapter 207: 203. Get engaged after returning."As Ariana Evans said this, Titus Zane had no choice but to take the apple from Nathan Moore, his lips reluctantly curved into a slight arc as he politely said, āThank you.ā
Nathan Moore did not respond, and casually grabbed a napkin to methodically wipe the fruit knife.
āThanks, brother-in-law,ā the half apple in Titus Zaneās hand was still unsteady when Jon took it over, stretching his head past Ariana Evans and Titus Zane to thank Nathan Moore.
āBrother-in-law,ā a single word, made Nathan Mooreās face change instantly.
Turning his eyes to Jon, who had been expressionlessly peeling the apple just now, his handsome face now clearly showed an icy chill.
Olivia Zane had just brought the apple to her lips but stopped again, staring blankly at Jonās cheeky expression, feeling a mix of emotions inside.
This was Jonās first visit to their home, and it was evident that Nathan Moore was interested in Titus Zane, hence the deliberate reminder, and she...
Instinctively looked towards Titus Zane, who seemed to enjoy the competition between the two men for her attention.
With a slight curve at the corners of his lips and his eyebrows relaxed, he even poured himself a tea and drank leisurely after Jon called him ābrother-in-law.ā
The resentment in Olivia Zaneās heart grew stronger.
She only hoped that Dr. Smithās vacation would end soon, and by then... this woman, Titus Zane, would no longer exist in this world!
"If Iām not mistaken, you and Titus Zane are not engaged yet."
After the silence was a counterattack, Nathan Mooreās thin lips curled up with a clear sneer, as if reminding Jon, he had no right to address him that way.
"You donāt need to worry about that, brother-in-law," Jon shrugged nonchalantly, a gesture foreign friends seem to like, still holding half an apple, "When I return this time, Carry and I will hold an engagement ceremony, and I hope then, brother-in-law, you can grace us with your presence as our witness."
After saying that, he took a big bite of the apple, smiling as he watched Nathan Moore.
Although his words seemed polite and gentlemanly, they were filled with provocation, deliberately calling Nathan Moore ābrother-in-law,ā as if reminding him not to covet someone he shouldnāt, like Carry!
"Is that so?" Nathan Mooreās smile deepened, he casually threw the fruit knife on the coffee table, leaning back with an arrogant posture.
"Nathan!" Olivia Zane knew, an argument was inevitable, worried that her parents might get angry, she quickly reminded him.
Unfortunately, Nathan Moore completely ignored her.
Leaning in the sofa, his legs elegantly crossed together, he appeared even more noble than Jon, the aristocrat.
"How come I never heard her mention this important matter?"
"Weāre back this time specifically to discuss it with uncle and auntie."
Jones had a smiling expression, meeting Nathan Mooreās half-smiling eyes, clearly two polite and courteous gentlemen, but their words were laced with undertones of tension.
Before Jon and the Zanes could even speak, Nathan Moore already shifted his gaze to Titus Zane with a serious look that betrayed no emotions.
"Titus Zane, are you getting engaged to him?"
"What?" The sudden question startled Titus Zane, momentarily at a loss.
Nathan Moore repeated the question again.
"Are you getting engaged to him?"
Although it was the same context as before, this time, every word carried a chill.
"Mom, I..." For a moment, Titus Zane didnāt know how to explain to her parents, regretting letting Jon come if he was going to cause trouble.
Although she knew that everything was just Jon upsetting the man in front of her, Titus Zane worried that if she and Jon were in agreement in front of her parents, acknowledging it, and Jon pressed her on this matter, it would be a loss too great to recover.
After all, Jonās attitude was too suspicious.
