Chapter 1107

Nathan was surprised to see Michelle at the amusement park.
“What brings you here?” he asked.
Michelle held up the design sketch in her hand. “I’m here for work. I saw you right as I walked out!”
She turned to Adam and Celine. “Aren’t you going to introduce your friends to me?” Nathan began, “They’re my good friends, Adam Alvarez and Celine Tate.”
Michelle turned to Adam. “Hello, Mr. Alvarez.”
She looked to Celine next. “Dr. Tate, I’ve heard of you before. You’re famous and respected.”
Talented ladies always treated each other with respect. Both of them were impressed with each other.
Celine beamed. “Hello, Mrs. Lynch.”
Bella cooed, “Hi, pretty lady. I’m Bella.”
Nathan interjected, “Bella, you call me Uncle Nathan, but you don’t call her Aunt Michelle. That’s so unfair.”
Bella insisted, “I like it this way.”
“Fine. It’s okay as long as you like it.”
Celine suggested, “Michelle, since we’ve run into each other today, why don’t you join us for dinner?”
Adam offered, “I’ll pay.”
Michelle checked with Nathan. “I’m free. What about you?”
“Sure. Let’s go.”
The group of five arrived at a restaurant and picked a table near the window. Adam and his family sat on one side, while Nathan and Michelle sat across from them.
Celine inquired, “Michelle, are you a designer?”
Michelle nodded. “Yeah! My family started a design business. I’ve been learning design from a young age!”
Nathan looked at his wife. “You didn’t have to work so hard.”
She was a typical workaholic who’d work late into the night every day.
She glanced at Nathan. Honestly, she was jealous of Nathan’s background. As the eldest and only son of the Lynch family, his life was pretty much comfortable and secure.
Unlike Nathan, she needed to work hard to get ahead in life.
Smiling, Adam explained, “I think what Nathan is saying is that he wants to be the breadwinner.”
She returned the smile. “A woman needs to hold down a job. I hate being financially dependent on someone else.”
Celine couldn’t agree more. “Great minds think alike! A career woman is so cool!”
Michelle and Celine exchanged a smile as their appreciation for each other deepened. Much to Nathan’s surprise, the two ladies got along very well. They became friends in no time.

He whispered, “Michelle, I must say I’m surprised.”
“What is it? Are you surprised that Celine and I hit it off? Well, I know everything.”
“What do you know?”
“I know you have a crush on Celine, but it’s okay. It’s only normal for men to pursue a great woman like Celine, just like how they scramble after me. Women shouldn’t stoop so low as to fight over men.”
Nathan couldn’t help but smile at her witty remarks. Michelle was undoubtedly an interesting woman with her own beliefs.
Their food was served at that moment.
Adam said, “Let’s dig in.”
During dinner, a familiar voice rang out. “Michelle!”
Michelle looked up and saw her stepsister, Madelyn Landon. Their father, Kyle, had Madelyn with a mistress. He had favored Madelyn over Michelle for the longest time.
Michelle was surprised to see her stepsister in the Capitol.
