<b>Chapter 695 </b>


    Nathaniel was enraged, veins pulsing on his forehead. He clenched his fist and struck Reba hard. Despite the intense pain coursing through her body, Reba didn’t scream or beg for mercy like before. Instead, she burst intoughter.


    Sheughed at how she and Nathaniel were like two pitiful creatures, harming and despising each other yet unable to leave one another.


    At first, she nned to live this pathetic life, but that changed when she saw that N was still alive. Even if she were to die, she wanted to drag those who had hurt her down to hell with her!


    The next morning, after N woke up and washed up, she began making breakfast for Mason.


    By 7:30 am., Mason was awake. Once he brushed his teeth and got dressed, he walked out of his bedroom.


    Seeing N bringing breakfast to the table, he cheerfully called out, “Mommy, good morning! What’s for breakfast? It smells so good!”


    “I made bacon and eggs, as well as some pancakes and waffles,” N replied.


    “I love pancakes! Thanks, Mommy!” Mason cheered as he sat down.


    He grinned when he saw the bacon and pancakes before him, his eyes squinting with joy.


    “Dig in!” N encouraged.


    “Okay!” Mason eximed, taking a bite of the pancake and savoring its soft, delicious vor.


    Seeing him with syrup all over his mouth made N chuckle as she wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin. She said gently, “By the way, I want to discuss something with you.”


    “What is it, Mommy?” Mason asked.


    “Remember how you told your dad you wanted to go to the zoo this weekend? Uncle Oliver wants toe along, too. Would you mind if he joined us? If you don’t want him to, I can talk to him, and we can go out together another time,” N borated.


    Mason took another bite of pancake and thought about how he wanted them all to be together.


    He shook his head and replied, “I don’t mind! I really like Uncle Oliver! Let’s have hime along!”


    If Oliver came too, his mother could build a connection with his father while also bonding with Oliver–it


    was a win–win situation!


    The more Mason thought about it, the smarter he felt. He decided he would always invite Oliver from now N?velDrama.Org is the owner.

    Seeing he wasn’t troubled at all, N nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll let Uncle Oliver know.”


    After finishing breakfast, N went to work, leaving Mason with the nanny at home.

    On her way to the office, she called Oliver to let him know Mason was okay with himing along.


    After hearing this, Oliver chuckled happily and said, “Great! I’lle by Saturday morning to go to the zoo with you.”


    “Sounds good! What time will you arrive? If youe early, I can make breakfast for you, too,” N offered.


    “I’ll be there around 8:00 a.m.,” Oliver answered.


    “Alright,” N replied.


    After hanging up, she hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should mention to Damon that Oliver would be joining them. Ultimately, she decided to tell Damon anyway.


    As soon as she sent the message, Damon called her back.


    “Why is Mr. Raynoring? We’re taking Buddy to the zoo. Bringing along an outsider seems a bit inappropriate,” he said.


    Hearing Damon refer to Oliver as an outsider made N feel ufortable. To her and Mason, Oliver would never be an outsider.


    “He wants to spend time with Buddy, and I asked Buddy this morning. He hopes Oliver cane too,” she replied.


    “Are you sure Buddy wants him toe?” Damon asked.


    Noticing the slight edge in his tone, N frowned as she answered, “I’m sure. I said I asked Buddy.”
