Chapter 708 The Cat in the Middle

• When Nathaniel approached with the cat, Linda instinctively stepped back, prompting a wave of frustration in Nathaniel. He wondered how long it would take to warm up their frosty relationship. He even selfishly wished Linda had remained asleep indefinitely, as he was more than willing to provide for her care indefinitely, especially now when he and Freya were trying to start a family.
• Bringing the cat directly to Linda, Nathaniel's presence only intensified the tension. Linda, raised as a refined lady, was unaccustomed to Nathaniel's more direct, almost bandit-like approach, as he forcefully opened the doors to the Gomez family's home and now seemed to impose on her freedom.
• Linda looked to Freya for support, and Freya quickly intervened, positioning herself between Nathaniel and Linda on the couch to mediate the situation.
