Chapter 323: Get To Know Him
Getting on the first flight he could possibly get to Country A, Nathan practically sped through all of the arrangements he needed to give the Convel Society away to Aspen. As much as he said that he was abdicating immediately, he still couldn’t help but at least brief his replacement about the things that needed his immediate attention such as logistics and other pressing matters. But as soon as he was done, he jumped on the nearest private jet he could commission and fly right on over to his waiting mate.
Unfortunately, his arrival had gone off to a rocky start...
"Please, Raine?" Nathan pleaded, almost begging his wife as he stood by the doorway of their current home. "Can you please forgive me?"
He had arrived in front of the house where Raine and her father had been staying for some time now. In fact, almost an hour had already passed, but his wife was still standing by the doorway, barring his entry as she crossed her arms underneath her chest.
"I still haven’t forgiven you," Raine pouted, her lips pursed as she avoided looking at him directly. "You even distracted me from what I’m about to do today. I’m already late as it is."
Nathan winced. Sure enough, she currently had a few bags beside her feet containing some of her stuff to go. He wanted so badly to compliment her for her taste, but her prior experience with doing so just a few minutes ago told him that trying to break her composure through sweetness wasn’t going to work like it usually did.
"Can I at least do something to earn your forgiveness then?" Nathan asked, already running out of options in trying to placate his irate wife. "Maybe I can drive you to work? Treat you out on a date?"
He almost cheered to himself when he saw her cheeks blush at his words. However, his joy was short-lived as she rebuffed him. "I can drive myself to work just fine. And you can do those things you said after I’ve forgiven you."
"What should I do then?" Nathan pleaded. "Come on, my sweet vixen. Can I at least make it up to you?"
