Her Marriage: The Night is Still Young-Chapter 100: Nathaniel Gallagher, What Are You Doing Here?

Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Nathaniel Gallagher, What Are You Doing Here?

Julian Grant listened and pushed Evelyn Thorne aside, "Get out, if you become my wife, I might as well become a monk."

Evelyn Thorne stumbled from the push, "Hmph~ You think I want to marry you because I love you? Dream on!"

"If you don’t marry me, I’ll keep pestering you."

"Scram, scram, scram."

"You scram, you scram!"

Josephine Thompson frowned, "You two stop arguing."

"Lynch, sorry, sorry, these two love to joke around, you don’t have to take them seriously."

Shane Lynch listened and gave a shy smile, "No worries, no worries."

Julian Grant chuckled, then said seriously, "Why not take it seriously? I’ll definitely be your husband in the future."

Evelyn Thorne: "That’s not certain, if you want to get Ms. Thompson, you have to marry me first."

Julian Grant, frustrated, "Why are you everywhere? Can you stop bothering me? Aren’t you... hooking up with someone else? Please go annoy him, alright?"

"Hmph~, none of your business! Marriage is for marriage, relationships for relationships, fun is for fun, don’t you understand?"

"What the heck!"

Josephine Thompson and Shane Lynch listened, both looking shocked.

They were both the same type.

Top students in school with similar personalities, both being quiet and refined types.

In their worldview, it was simply unimaginable.

"Alright, stop arguing, let’s go eat instead."

"Hmph~" Both snorted at each other.

"Let’s go to the nearby Kingsley’s Private Kitchen!"

Shane Lynch nodded and said with some reluctance, "...Alright then!"

If he had known she would bring these two friends.

He wouldn’t have asked her out for dinner.

"Whose car are you two going to ride in?"

"I’ll ride with you, I’ll ride with you." The two of them scrambled to get into Josephine Thompson’s car.

This time, Julian Grant grabbed the passenger seat.

Evelyn Thorne had no choice but to grudgingly sit in the back seat.

All the way.

The two of them acted like arch-enemies from a past life, starting to bicker as soon as they got in the car.

Josephine Thompson drove while trying to mediate between them.

Unfortunately...

The more she mediated, the fiercer they argued.

Her head was about to explode.

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing, it’s affecting my driving."

Julian Grant listened and immediately shut his mouth, "Okay, okay, we won’t argue, you focus on driving!"

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Evelyn Thorne’s phone kept vibrating.

She couldn’t be bothered to argue with Julian Grant anymore, and immediately picked up her phone with a wide smile, texting with Nathaniel Gallagher.

Nathaniel Gallagher: [What are you doing?]

Evelyn Thorne: [Getting ready to eat]

Nathaniel Gallagher: [With whom?]

Evelyn Thorne: [A few friends, I’ll send you a pic later]

Twenty minutes later.

The four of them arrived at Kingsley’s Private Kitchen.

This was also the most upscale private kitchen around, it was said the head chef’s ancestors once cooked for the royal palace.

So, it was themed around royal palace cuisine.

Josephine Thompson had been here a few times before, the taste and atmosphere were both quite nice.

"Here it is, I’ve already called ahead to book a private room, let’s go in!"

"Mm-hmm, okay."

The four got out of the car.

Entered the restaurant one by one.

The hosts and waiters were all dressed in traditional Lumian Dynasty attire, "Welcome, dear Brothers and Misses."

Then, they led the four into a private room.

The decor inside was especially royal and aristocratic.

Julian Grant and Evelyn Thorne were here for the first time, finding it amusing.

Evelyn Thorne: "Looks so tacky! The Lumian Dynasty ended a long time ago, why still do this?"

Julian Grant rolled his eyes at her, "If you don’t want to eat, then leave."

"Why should I leave?"

"Enough, stop arguing."

"Josephine, what’s the main dish here?"

Josephine Thompson said gently, "There’s no menu, the dishes change daily. The chef decides what to prepare based on the ingredients bought each day."

"Rest assured, all their ingredients are top-notch and fresh, we’ll eat whatever they serve."

"...Okay then!"

Eating here, there’s no need to order.

Dishes are served per head.

And, it’s limited in quantity every day. The preparation is meticulous, the taste is indeed not bad, and the ingredients used are high-end and fresh. It’s the epitome of less is more, with a focus on ambiance.

"Click click"

Evelyn Thorne snapped several photos.

"Ms. Thompson, let’s take a few more photos together!"

"...Uh~, actually, I really hate taking photos!"

"Just a couple, as a memento."

Evelyn Thorne didn’t care, holding her phone up to take selfies with them, pouting playfully at the camera.

"..." Josephine Thompson wanted to refuse, but she was, after all, a friend of Julian Grant.

Plus, she had just bought several antiques in one go.

So, she could only reluctantly oblige.

During the wait for the meal.

"Whoosh whoosh--"

Evelyn Thorne sent her and Josephine Thompson’s photo to Nathaniel Gallagher.

[This is my new good friend, pretty, right?]

Nathaniel Gallagher received the message but didn’t reply.

He could tell at a glance where Josephine Thompson was dining.

After all, he was the one who brought her to this restaurant.

"Dear Brothers and Misses, please enjoy the pre-dinner desserts, your royal meal will be served shortly!"

Julian Grant tasted his tea, "Hey~, I have to say, it’s quite authentic, I really feel like I’m a Brother."

Josephine Thompson laughed as she explained to them, "You can also try their desserts, they’re said to be passed down from the palace."

"Alright, let’s all try it."

Julian Grant and Shane Lynch each tasted the almond cake.

Evelyn Thorne had no mind to eat, always waiting for Nathaniel Gallagher to reply.

[Why aren’t you replying to my messages?]

Fifteen minutes later.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Nathaniel Gallagher directly initiated a video call.

Seeing this, Evelyn Thorne hurriedly hung up the call.

[I’m at dinner right now, it’s inconvenient to take a video call]

A minute later.

Nathaniel Gallagher sent a message: [Come out, I’m right at the restaurant entrance]

Boom!

Evelyn Thorne’s mind went blank after reading the message, completely dumbfounded. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Oh my God, this is a big deal, how did he get here so fast?"

"What should I do? What should I do?"

Josephine Thompson was completely unaware, "Evelyn, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you eating?"

Evelyn Thorne was panicking, sweating coldly from her head, "Uh, I... I have a stomachache, I’ll go to the restroom first. You all don’t need to wait for me, just continue eating!"

After saying this.

She swiftly got up and walked out of the private dining room.

Julian Grant said dejectedly, "Lazy people have more potty breaks, don’t mind her."

"..." Josephine Thompson had a face full of black lines.

The three continued dining.

...

A little while later.

Evelyn Thorne sneaked out of the restaurant.

She leaned against the door gap and sneakily peeked outside.

A Maybach was parked at the entrance.

You could faintly see someone sitting in the driver’s seat.

No need to guess, it was definitely Nathaniel Gallagher.

"Sizzle sizzle, what should I do now?"

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Nathaniel Gallagher kept calling her through video.

She didn’t dare answer, nor did she dare run out to meet him.

"Didn’t you say you missed me? I’m here now, why are you hiding and not seeing me? Are you messing with me again?"

Listening to his gloomy voice message.

Evelyn Thorne grew even more flustered.

"What to do? What should I do? I’m about to be exposed, this is not fun at all."

No choice.

She could only muster the courage to send Josephine Thompson a message.

[Ms. Thompson, I’m having that time of the month, could you please come out and bring me a sanitary pad?]

Josephine Thompson received the message, furrowed her brows, and stood up immediately.

Her bag always had a spare sanitary pad.

Girls are bound to encounter these situations when they’re out.

Julian Grant was stunned, "Josephine, where are you going?"

Josephine Thompson was embarrassed to say she was going to give Evelyn Thorne a sanitary pad, so she could only vaguely say, "Oh, it’s nothing, I’m just going to find Evelyn."

"Why are you looking for her? Don’t mind her."

"You all keep eating, we’ll be right back."

Saying this, Josephine Thompson took her bag and left the private room.

Outside.

She couldn’t find Evelyn Thorne, so she could only call her.

"Hey, Evelyn, where are you?"

Evelyn Thorne spoke in a low, sneaky voice, "I’m by the entrance, come out for a moment."

"Is there a restroom at the entrance?"

"Never mind, just come out first, then we’ll talk."

"Oh, alright!" Josephine Thompson didn’t suspect anything, heading straight for the entrance.

As she reached the entrance.

She saw Nathaniel Gallagher getting out of the car with a gloomy face.

The two immediately crossed paths.

Josephine Thompson gasped, subconsciously taking two steps back, "...Nathaniel Gallagher, how did you end up here?"

Nathaniel Gallagher’s eyes narrowed sharply, striding towards her.

His leather shoes ground over the gravel steps, making a faint sound. His gaze was like a blade tempered with ice, sweeping over Josephine Thompson’s pale face.

"What are you hiding from? Didn’t you say you missed me?" He reached out, grabbing her wrist, the distinct joints of his fingers almost digging into her flesh, "Eating with another man in front of me, now you don’t even dare to see me?"

Josephine Thompson was pulled stumbling, her phone "clattered" to the ground.

"Uh, let go, what are you doing?"

The air suddenly froze.

Nathaniel Gallagher’s pupils constricted violently, his other hand already squeezing Josephine Thompson’s jaw, with a chilling smile as he pulled her into his arms, "What? Seeing me doesn’t make you happy? Huh?"

Josephine Thompson’s eyes shook, completely unable to comprehend what he was saying, "You’re crazy, let me go, get out of here, I don’t want to see you."

"..." Nathaniel Gallagher furrowed his brows, looking at her incredulously.

As expected.

Her attitude changed again.

Just now, she was calling him baby on the phone, saying she wanted to hug and kiss him.

Now, face to face, she turned cold as ice.

"Josephine, what do you mean exactly? How long are you planning to toy with me?"

Josephine Thompson threw herself into a struggle, fiercely raising her leg to kick him, "Let go, if you don’t let go I’ll call for help."

"Call for help, mmm..." Before she could shout.

Nathaniel Gallagher reversed his hold, pulling her into his embrace, covering her mouth with one hand, lifting her like a chick with the other.

"Mmm, let go~, help..." Josephine Thompson whimpered and struggled to call for help.

Unfortunately.

Her strength was insignificant compared to him.

Under his control, she had no chance of resisting.

Nathaniel Gallagher encircled her waist, and walked straight towards the car.

"Snap"

He opened the car door and stuffed her inside.
