I won't disturb you . " After finishing speaking , he picked up the cooked steak and walked towards the restaurant . Seeing this , Lena smirked at Nathan .

" Really confused , didn't even realize I had flour on my face . " Lena's cheeks burned as she elbowed him in the chest . " What were you guys just talking about ? Lena asked , blinking her eyes . " " Just now , Auntie was telling me about your embarrassing childhood stories . She said you used to bully other kids when you were little , and even wet your pants in kindergarten . " " Nonsense ! Upon hearing this , Lena was so angry that she grabbed the cutlery and hit him , but he just laughed as if he didn't care . In the midst of the struggle , Nathan laughed as he caught her wrist , " Just teasing you . " The two of them locked eyes , with many emotions flickering in their gazes .

" I was going to turn off the TV , Kody started to get up , but was stopped by his daughter . " " Never mind , Dad … " Lena took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down . " Now that I have come out , I know that he has already faced his final retribution , and that's enough for me . " G The family watched the news in silence and finished the meal deep in thought .
