Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 671

Chapter 671: A life with content

[Present Time]

"It’s perfect!" Jonathan mused, looking up at Nina across from him. "It’s amazing, Miss Reed."

Nina bit her lips as she smiled, her cheeks turning a shade of pink. "Thank you," she expressed, pleased to hear that he liked her presentation.

"You’re amazing, Miss Reed." He glanced at the designs she created, nodding in satisfaction. "Very... much."

"Thank you, Mr. Russel. I really appreciate it."

Jonathan nodded as he gazed at her again. "Send me the contract. I’m signing."

"Really?!" Nina bit her tongue, her face now turning red with embarrassment. "Uh, sorry."

"Haha. It’s alright, Miss Reed." Jonathan laughed, leaning closer to look at her face. "You don’t have to be embarrassed. Though I think it’s cute."

Nina pursed her lips, drawing away slightly. She smiled awkwardly, trying her best to appear natural.

"Thank you," she repeated for the third time. "Then I’ll send the contract. Once it’s signed and notarized, we can start the project right away."

"Sure."

"It was a pleasure, Mr. Russel." Nina slowly stood up, extending her hand to him.

Seeing her action, Jonathan also rose to his feet and clasped her hand. "The pleasure is mine. I’m glad I didn’t choose the wrong firm for this."

"Thank you. I’m looking forward to working with you, Mr. Russel."

"The feeling is mutual."

The two of them smiled at each other before Nina tried to retrieve her hand from him. However, when she did, he held her hand a little tighter. Deep lines appeared between her brows as she glanced at their hands before looking up at him.

"Mr. Russel?" she called awkwardly. "My... hand."

"Oh, sorry." Jonathan chuckled and let her go, earning a soft "it’s alright" from her before he said, "Miss Reed, you seem a little happy."

"Yes?" Her brows rose as she noticed him smiling amicably.

"You seem... happy."

"Oh, of course, I am, because this is a good project."

"Not that," he pointed out, shoving his hands into his pockets. "I’m saying you seem happy... with your life."

Nina furrowed her brows, confused by his remark and finding it odd. But then again, thinking about her life, Nina was content. Even so, she only smiled at him in reply. He was a client, but that didn’t mean she had to disclose her personal life to him.

"It must be nice to live such a good life," he commented casually. "Shall we walk out together?"

’Hah. How interesting,’ he thought. ’This isn’t how I remember my wife.’

’Though I’m glad she has a happy life now.’ The corner of his mouth stretched while his eyelids drooped. ’That only means... there’s a life I can ruin.’
