Chapter 278Nathan remained silent for a moment before humming in response.
Mila lowered her gaze, her fingers gently stroking the teddy bear in her arms as she murmured, “I’ve transferred 600 thousanddollars to
your account.”Nathan's response was another quiet, noncommittal hum. Hiscomposed and indifferent demeanor sent a wave of panic through Mila’s chest.
Despite her desire to maintain distance and avoid any contact with him, she found herself torn and overwhelmed by conflictingemotions, the turmoil almost driving her to the brink of madness.
She missed him dearly, desperately longing to see him again. Feeling at a loss for words, Mila simply said, “Never mind,goodbye.”

Across from her, Phoebe sat munching on potato chips, her gaze filled with confusion as she observed Mila’s unexpectedemotional outburst.
Phoebe asked helplessly, “Mila, what did he say to you? Why are you crying?”
Mila hastily set her phone aside and wiped away her tears, attempting to compose herself. “I’m not crying. It’s just my tear glandsacting up again. They seem to have a mind of their own.”

Mila pouted, feeling aggrieved. “He didn’t utter a single word, merely responding with a couple of hmms.”Phoebe couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of the situation, sighing in amusement.
“You never fail to amaze me, Mila. You shed tears at the slightest provocation-be it nightmares, fatigue, unsuccessfulexperiments, disappointing takeout, or even a scolding from the driving instructor.
“Now it’s getting even more absurd. A few indifferent noises from Nathan have you in tears again. Do you need surgery to fixthose tear ducts of yours?”
Taking a deep breath, Mila sank onto the sofa, shutting her eyes tightly to hold back the tears.
A bitter chuckle escaped her lips. “You know, | used to cry even more when | was a child. | was quite the little drama queen,always seeking attention and comfort.”
Phoebe, still engrossed in her potato chips, replied coolly, “It's no surprise. Coming from a wealthy background, you were likelypampered and sheltered. Without facing real hardships, even minor grievances could bring you to tears.”
Reflecting on her past, Mila couldn't help but smile. “I used to a being coddled by Nate. Whenever | acted out or shed a tear, he’dru to my side, completely flustered and unsure how to handle it. And whenever | tried to be playful or flirtatious with him, he...”
Phoebe leaned in with curiosity. “What did he do then?”
Mila’s smile slowly faded as she turned and settled into the sofa, burying her face without uttering a single word. The floodgatesof her emotions reopened, and tears streamed down her cheeks once more.
