Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 880 I Slept with Her Three Years Ago

Thinking about Betty, Nathan's heart got all mushy.

The beef between Betty and Aria wasn't gonna get squashed anytime soon, so he had to chill and wait for the right moment to patch things up.

Aria said, "Nathan, send some guys over. Tonight, I want Selena to have a rough night."

Nathan nodded, "Got it."

He whipped out his phone and made a few calls, telling his crew to mess with Selena.

Then, he was about to bounce from the White Mansion.

But just as he hit the gate, a delivery dude stopped him. "Mr. White, this is from Ms. Anderson."

Nathan's face changed for a sec, then he put on a soft smile. After Betty found out who he really was, she kicked him to the curb. But now she was sending him a gift? Maybe Betty wanted to make up?

He grinned, and the hard look on his face melted away. He opened the box without a second thought.

But when he saw what was inside, he slapped it away, asking in a cold voice, "What the hell is this?"

The delivery guy got all jittery. "Ms. Anderson said this is the kid she was carrying. She said it's a good thing she found out in time."

Nathan couldn't believe it, didn't know how to react. First, he was shocked, then it felt like something was crushing his chest, making it hard to breathe.

Nathan was so pissed he almost blacked out. "Say that again! What is this?"

Seeing Nathan lose it, the delivery guy freaked and took off on his bike.

Right then, Nathan's phone rang. It was Betty.

"Nathan," Betty's voice was cold as ice.

His tone turned dark, "Betty, you got a death wish?"

Betty laughed on the other end, "Nah, I suddenly wanna live well. I ain't carrying the White Family's kid. Good thing your secret came out in time. Nathan, don't come looking for me again. Seeing anyone from the White Family just makes me sick."

"Betty!" Nathan wanted to curse, but she had already hung up.

He took a deep breath and jumped into his car, speeding to Betty's place.

Betty's crib was near the slums. Ever since Aria started messing with her family, her parents lost their jobs. They went from doing okay to scraping by.

Nathan had been to the slums for some shady business and spotted Betty.

He recognized her. He was there when Betty's hand got messed up.

She didn't cry, just bit her lip hard and stared him down, saying, "I'll make Aria pay."

He should've ended her, but he felt a weird sense of pity and let her go.

He didn't expect to see her again in the slums.

She hadn't given up on ratting out Aria, still hoping for a miracle.

Nathan found it kinda funny. People at the bottom probably never realized how small their lives were, like ants.

To him, Betty's efforts were like a tiny ant struggling.

But as he watched, he found her kinda cute.

Nathan worked directly for Otis, often handling secret stuff, which made him valuable.

One night, he got hurt and escaped to that area, where Betty saved him.

Betty's fingers were weak, and she used her elbows to drag him.

It was pouring that night. He looked up in a daze and could only see her worried face.

He crashed at her place for a few days, using meds bought with the money her parents made from scavenging.

Nathan had always been ruthless, making many enemies in Silver Bay City, but he never thought he'd be saved by Betty's family one day.

His sense of pity grew stronger, so he often visited her afterward, even lying that he was just a regular guy.

Betty bought it, and so did her parents.

He became like a brother to her until they finally crossed that line.

He despised and looked down on other women, thinking they only distracted men from achieving great things.

But Betty was different. She lived openly and strongly.

When he got to Betty's house, she wasn't there.

Betty's parents saw him and started shaking with anger. "Get out! Don't come to our house again! Haven't the White Family done enough to Betty? Get out!"

The usually chill couple went at him with a broom, even though they used to welcome him with smiles.

Nathan got hit a few times and then raised his hand to knock the broom away. "I'm here to replace Betty. She's pregnant. You might not know, but I slept with her three years ago."
