+5 Free Coins Chapter 10 Nothing is Impossible Chapter 10 Nothing is Impossible Stella figured that revealing a bit of her own secret might help build trust . After all , something this bizarre wasn't exactly believable to most people . That gave her the chance to prove it - like how she still looked the same , or remembered all kinds of things from high school . If she could help Nathan recall their school days , maybe he'd soften up . She didn't expect him to go completely off script and say , " I believe you . " Now she was starting to think her old rival was doing this just to mess with her . Stella smiled and kept going . That's why this house means so much to me . I was literally living here the day before yesterday Can't you sell it to me , just for old time's sake ! " The handsome man turned to look at her with the same warm and polished expression . " No. " This guy was made of stone . To be fair , " old time's sake " was a bit of a stretch . Rivals like them never really had any sentiment between them . Stella was officially out of moves . She pulled out her final weapon : she clasped her hands together and rubbed them like a begging cartoon character . " Please , I'm begging you , Mr. Foster ! You gorgeous , amazing man ! " They'd both always been proud people . Stella had never imagined she'd one day have to bow her head to Nathan .. But here she was . The beautiful girl's big , pleading peach blossom eyes were impossible to ignore . The way she clasped her hands was too cute . for anyone to resist . Nathan's heart skipped a beat . His palm , resting on the couch , pressed deeper into the cushion . His head was just about to nod when he forced it back under control and shook it instead . If he agreed to sell , he'd lose any excuse to see her again . Stella flopped back onto the couch and punched the air . " Guess that's a no for me ." Ethan had to fight back a laugh , but it wasn't really the time . Plus , his sister's problem still wasn't solved . He fiddled with the black bracelet on his wrist and cleared his throat . " Sis ! " This wasn't their own house . Time to keep up appearances . Stella sat up straight , fixed her hair , and took a deep breath . " Okay . Nathan , how about this - can I rent a room from you ? Just the bedroom I used to live in ." She'd make do for now , then go see a doctor about her insomnia . It'd been eleven years . Surely medicine had improved by now . Nathan's brow lifted slightly . He pushed his glasses up with one finger to hide the flicker of excitement in his eyes . " Rent a rbom ? " Ethan's eyes lit up . He actually thought that might work . If Stella were rooming with some random guy , he'd he'd worry , But Nathan was ninety percent likely to be gay . That worked out great . 1/3 756 AM P P · Chapter 10 Nothing is Impossible Honestly , he'd never seen his sister beg anyone like this before . If she ever begged him that way , he'd hand over his life without question . But Nathan still didn't budge . No reaction at all . Fake man . +5 Free Coins " Mr. Nathan , " Ethan offered , " I'll talk to the neighbors and buy the villa next door . That way my sister can stay here during the day , and until that goes through , I'll come pick her up every morning . She'll only be sleeping here at night . She won't get in your way . " Nathan didn't immediately refuse , so Stella jumped in . " Exactly ! I won't bother you at all , you can rest easy . If you ever bring a girlfriend home , just say I'm your housekeeper . " Get in his way ? He would love that . Nathan looked up . The darkness in his gaze vanished , his voice unreadable . " Fine . " The butler looked like he'd just seen a ghost . He wouldn't sell the house , but he'd rent it ? Wasn't he famously obsessive about cleanliness ? He didn't even let the staff live here . They all had their own places . The moment Nathan agreed , Stella jumped up with a cheer , flashing a glimpse of her pale waist . " Awesome ! It's settled then . Talk to my brother about the rent - I'm going upstairs to sleep ! " Her head was spinning . If she didn't lie down now , she'd probably collapse right there . Before either of them could say a word , the girl took off , long legs striding up the stairs , her hair bouncing in soft arcs behind her . A light , sweet scent lingered in the air . Nathan took a deep , slow breath - quietly , so no one would notice . The butler stepped forward . "Mr. Nathan , should I go up and show her to the guest room ? " Nathan waved him off . " Go on with your work . She knows this place better than you . " She'd lived here for eighteen years . Now the massive living room only had Ethan and Nathan left . Ethan swallowed , picked up the water the butler had poured earlier , took a sip , and finally spoke . " Mr. Nathan , thank you for agreeing to rent us the room. Ten thousand a month - is that okay ? " Nathan stayed calm . He adjusted his glasses with a single finger and smiled . " Ethan , right ? That's too much . Just enough to show goodwill is fine . You running your company well is worth more than ten thousand to me " Ethan blinked . Then scratched his nose with the hand wearing the bracelet . " You're absolutely right , Mr. Nathan ." Smart men didn't need things spelled out . Nathan was obviously hinting at something . Sounded like all the recent scandals had really made waves - Nathan knew all about them . Investors always kept a close eye on the companies they backed . How else could they decide whether to increase or cut funding next quarter ? 2/3 Chapter 10 Nothing is Impossible Ethan suddenly felt like a student caught slacking off in class . His head nearly dropped to his chest . The air got quiet Nathan's voice remained gentle . " If you don't have anything else , you should head back . " +5 Free Coins Ethan looked up , forcing himself to meet Nathan's eyes . " Mr. Nathan , my sister's staying here - I'm counting on you to look out for her . Maybe you were just being polite earlier when you said you believed her , but she really did … travel through time . " Saying something that absurd to a man like Nathan , with his calm , high - ranking demeanor , was hard . His sister had guts . Nathan's long , elegant fingers lifted his teacup . His eyes flickered slightly . He actually did believe her . Because there was no other explanation for why Stella hadn't changed at all . Not even a split end in her hair had changed . " Nothing is impossible , Nathan said with a quiet laugh . Of course a man at the top could accept the unimaginable . Ethan smiled too - then remembered something . " There's one more thing I'd like to ask you Nathan looked at him . " What is it ? " Ethan hesitated . " Before my sister time - traveled , she was dating Lucas - you know , that actor who's gotten popular lately . She still has feelings for him , even if she doesn't realize it . So if you happen to watch TV , could I ask you not to watch anything with Lucas in it? " He knew a big shot like Nathan probably didn't watch much TV , but it was worth mentioning - just to prevent Stella from seeing something that would upset her . Nathan's expression darkened almost instantly . The hand holding the teacup went pale , veins bulging beneath the skin . He lowered his gaze . When he looked up again , his expression was calm and composed . " Got it , " he said . 3
