Chapter 269 Nathaniel still refused to speak to Eloise, and she could only sigh, “If you're unwilling to speak to me, Ill just leave.” “I see. You'd be so indifferent even after your son was in an accident,” Nathaniel finally spoke as he sneered at her.
“Didn‘t | chere to see you?” she snapped.

When people were beaten down, they could always count on someone, but Nathaniel had no one else.
“Nate! How dare you talk tolike that?” Eloise said sternly, “You know exactly how difficult it was forall these years, but I've always tried my best to help you. Ask yourself this, haven't | always given you help when needed? It's true that this time, I'm at fault. However, you have no right to talk tolike that!” Nathaniel immediately cto his senses after being reprimanded. He turned around to look at his mother. She was an elegant and graceful woman. Even though she was already in her twilight years and fine lines were visible on her face, she still looked beautiful. This could only mean she had a good life after getting remarried to someone else.
“Mother, I'm sorry. | shouldn't have spoken to you like that,” he apologized.
Eloise sighed in defeat, “It's all right! | know that you're in a bad mood because of your injuries. Also, I've seen the news report on your accident, that street wasn't narrow at all, and it was empty at the tof the accident. How could you have been hit by a car?” Nathaniel did not answer her question. Instead, he asked, “Mother, what's your relationship with Frank?” “Why do you ask?” Eloise was taken aback “It's nothing big. | just wanted to know him better since you were the one who introduced him to me,” Nathaniel explained.
“I met him by chance. | helped him once, and because of that, he oweda favor. | heard that he was well-known amongst perfumers abroad, so | brought him in to help when | heard you were in trouble. Was this because of hiin?” Eloise immediately connected the timelines of these incidents and asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You're saying that you didn’t know him very well and he wasn't a friend, yet you still —introduced him to me?” Nathaniel continued to question.
He was using a condescending tone to speak to her, and this angered Eloise.
Her face darkened as she said, “What's the meaning of this? Are you blaming this on me? I introduced him to you to help you solve your mess. Was he not useful? Did he not have that ability? Why are you so fixated on whether he's a friend or not? Isn't it enough that he could help?” “Yeah, he was helpful, all right! He even helped my fiance with her needs!” Frank was introduced to him by his mother but ended up sleeping with his fiancee. Nathaniel should have stopped them from going to Middle Valley together! Middle Valley! When he thought about what had happened the past few days. Nathaniel finally realized Frank had been interested in Melanie from the beginning. He knew something was wrong back then and tried to stop Melanie from approaching him, but she did not listen. They had been going behind his back for a long time. Nathaniel was such an id*ot to have flown to accompany her and protect her when she was alone in Middle Valley.
