Chapter 185
Nathan held back the urge to argue with Caroline and just ignored her. After all, it wasn't worth it to engage with someone as rude as her.
"Sophie, is it delicious?" Nathan asked Sophie softly, trying to divert his attention and avoid being angered by Caroline.
Sophie, who initially wanted to be a bystander, didn't expect Nathan to suddenly call her.
She quickly nodded. "Yes."
Ryan was actually curious about gossip too, but he wasn't interested in other gossip, he just particularly wanted to know why Nathan wasn't married yet.
In Ryan's eyes, Nathan was practically the best person in the world, and he couldn't imagine any woman being good enough for him.
The only answer was something he couldn't think about.
Therefore, when Nathan unexpectedly avoided Caroline's question, Ryan was a bit disappointed.
He finally had a chance for some gossip, but Nathan didn't cooperate.
Sure enough, Nathan was never one to enjoy gossip.
After that, everyone ate in silence.
After mentioning Nathan's inability to get a wife, Caroline also felt a bit regretful.
After all, saying such things in front of Ryan and Sophie was indeed inappropriate.
Besides, everyone knew Nathan's status in Aurora City; he was the most desired marriage partner among many socialites.
So he wasn't lacking in girlfriends; Caroline only said that to attack him.
Since Nathan didn't respond or retaliate, she let it go.
After dinner, Sophie clamored to go swimming, saying she saw a huge heated pool and a children's pool at the hotel and wanted to play.
Caroline naturally disagreed, saying it wasn't good to swim after eating.
Sophie was unhappy and puffed her cheeks. "Mommy thinks I'm fat. I want to swim to lose weight but you won't let me!"
"You just want to play, not lose weight!" Caroline scolded.
"What's wrong with wanting to play?" Nathan retorted.
Why was Nathan getting involved when she was educating her child?
Sophie was thrilled to have Nathan's support, but she didn't show it because she knew it would only upset Caroline.
Instead, she put on a pitiful look. "I just want Mommy to play with me more. Mommy is too busy and hasn't played with me for a long time."
These words touched Caroline's soft spot, making her feel a pang of sadness, and she had to agree.
"Children naturally like to play," Nathan added from the side.
"I already agreed; why are you still talking?" Caroline said angrily.
"Am I wrong?" Nathan asked coldly.
Seeing another argument brewing, Ryan quickly slid off his chair to the floor. "Mommy, Uncle Nathan, let's go."
Half an hour later, Caroline was sitting on a lounge chair by the pool, bored and scrolling through her phone.
Ryan and Sophie were having fun with Nathan in the pool.
Caroline didn't expect Nathan to change into swim trunks and personally accompany Ryan and Sophie in the water.
Just then, another news alert popped up on her phone. #Caroline and Sawyer to Attend Charity Event in Mountainous Region This Weekend.
This news was clearly to clarify the previous reports. This way, the facts were clear and the evidence was solid, which almost completely turned around the negative perception of Sawyer and Caroline.
But this way, they definitely had to attend the event, or they would be heavily criticized.
While Caroline was pondering this, she suddenly saw Nathan walking out of the pool.
His muscular build was very attractive.
Nathan walked directly towards Caroline, making her heart race. What was he going to do?
Nathan took a towel and wiped the water off his body, then lay down next to Caroline and casually took a sip of red wine.
Nathan was so close that Caroline felt a bit uncomfortable and annoyed.
But Nathan looked indifferent, took another sip of wine, and glanced at Caroline casually.
"The news said I donated five million dollars to the poor mountainous area, what's that about?" Caroline asked.
"To keep Sway from being affected by you, we had to do it. The money was indeed donated, in Sway's name, and later you were given five million dollars as a donation. These are not fake news. In fact, every year, the Kennedy family donates money in the hundreds of millions of dollars." Talking about charity, Nathan seemed very proud.
"Thank you," Caroline said.
"No need to thank me, you have to repay the money donated in your name."
Caroline was stunned, asking her to repay five million dollars? That was practically a death sentence!
"You know that I don't have money."
"Just owe it; pay it back later." Nathan had already thought of a plan for her.
That debt was no small amount!
Previously, due to the crew's shutdown, she already owed 2.4 million dollars, and now another five million dollars, totaling about 7.4 million dollars.
Even if she sold everything she had, she still couldn't pay it off!
"I didn't ask you to do this; why should I repay the money?" Caroline was anxious.
"If we didn't do this, what else could we do? Do you have the ability to face the online attacks against you? Once an artist is smeared and attacked, no matter how hard you work, people only remember your stains. You deserve to be smeared and attacked, but you can't drag Sway down with you!" Nathan said sternly.
Caroline was speechless; she indeed couldn't handle this crisis.
The life of the poor was hard!
"So I really have to attend the donation event with Sawyer this weekend?" Caroline asked.
"What do you think?" Nathan retorted.
"But isn't Sway a stutterer? How can he appear in public?"
"Mind your own business; don't worry about others," Nathan said coldly.
"Mommy, come play with us!" Sophie called out loudly.
Caroline waved her hand. "I'm not playing; you guys go ahead."
At this moment, John came over. "Mr. Kennedy, the car to pick up the kids has arrived, I told them to wait in the parking lot."
Nathan nodded.
"How about Ryan and Sophie stay with me at the hotel tonight?" Caroline suggested.
"They have their own home; no need to stay at the hotel," Nathan said coldly.
Caroline thought, 'Alright, I'm the only one without a home, and destined to stay at the hotel.'
"Your room costs thirty-eight thousand dollars a night, and you pay for it yourself," Nathan blurted out.
Thirty-eight thousand dollars?
Caroline almost choked on herself upon hearing this, and before she could say anything, Nathan had already left.
