"You tell me," Nina tried to keep her demeanor as casual as possible. This was after so many years a good-looking man had approached her, "What brought YOU here, Andrew."
"Nothing," suddenly there was a bitter smile on his face, "I am here to wrap up my business. Most of it is either sold or transferred," His gaze was fixed on some unseen spot on the table.
Nina felt strange at the sudden shift in the air. He had gotten more serious, his initial playful smile was gone.
"Is everything alright?" Nina asked in concern. Now she could see sadness in those eyes.
"Yeah. Just consider yourself lucky to bring a daughter-in-law to the club. It means you love your son. I lost everything a few years ago. After that, there wasn’t much left for me in Kanderton. That’s when I decided to move away from this place."
"What happened to Kanderton?" she knew she had overstepped so she quickly shook her head, "I’m sorry, don’t answer that."
"No, no. It’s OK. A few years back, I lost my twenty-four-year-old son," he said it so easily and so casually that Nina felt her heart going out to him.
The music was still loud but not as wild. She couldn’t believe they had been talking loudly all this time, "I’m sorry."
"No. Don’t be. By the way," he looked around, "I can’t find your daughter-in-law nearby," Nina shrugged and glanced at the bar that seemed crowded.
"She’ll be back any minute," she said with a tight-lipped smile. A few youngsters stopped by to greet him.
"They all seem to know you!" she remarked after they left, and he shook his head.
"Not me. It’s my home that got quite popular after the construction. It was a dream come true for me. I got it made for my son but..." there was pain on his face, "He couldn’t live in it. Life didn’t allow him much time."
Nina felt sorry for him.
"I hope you get to find your happiness in your dream house."
He shook his head with a chuckle, "It’s no more a dream house. For me, it’s a cursed house that took away his life. That’s the reason, I moved away from there."
"I can understand," she nodded at him and then pointed to his glass, "Should I order more wine for you?"
"Huh?" he looked at his glass and then smirked, "No. I don’t let beautiful women buy me drinks. It should be me to buy you a drink, actually."
Nina liked him. He seemed to be a gentleman.
He signaled a waiter and asked him to bring two wines, "B...but my daughter-in-law must be back any minute. There is no need!"
He didn’t look convinced, "If she returns have your drunk with her. No issue."
Nina got quiet after that. Being a hot-headed woman, it wasn’t an easy task to convince her of anything and he did it so easily.
She wondered if he lived near her hotel. That area also belonged to the elite class.
"Which hotel are you staying in?" Nina asked him.
"Hotel? Oh, no no. No hotel. I have sold my property, and the new owner has allowed me to stay there for a few nights."
"That’s so nice of him,"
"If you want, I can give you a visit to my former home," he offered her meaningfully and Nina wanted to decline the offer. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

I was into the story but then the translator who was translating it for whatever language to English stopped translating half the words are half English and another language it's very hard to follow a book when you can't understand what the written word is translators need to do better...
