Chapter 447 Elena replied , " I just finished eating , Mom . ' Esther asked , " At a restaurant ? Should I send a few chefs over ? Your dad's checking out a Draventh property . He'll get you one . ' She didn't think that living in a hotel all the time would be good for her . " At Nathan's private home , " Elena replied . It took several minutes after sending the message before getting a reply . " ... Sweetie , did you eat like usual ? Control yourself . Don't scare him ! " Elena glanced up . Nathan , holding his water glass , stared blankly at the empty plates . He was definitely scared .

" ... Mom , I think you said that a little too late . " Esther replied , " You ... Never mind . I still think you should have your own team of chefs . Next time , have a bite at home before you meet up with Nathan . " She didn't think eating a lot was a bad thing , but Elena's actual appetite was genuinely intimidating. The Ravelles were a prominent family . She didn't want them to think that Elena lacked proper etiquette . Elena set down her phone . " Nathan , I have a big appetite . Does that bother you ? " Nathan finally snapped out of his daze . He studied her for a moment .

" Respecting food is a virtue , and being able to eat well is a blessing . I don't think it's a problem . " Then , he added , " It's no wonder you're so tall . " Elena blinked in surprise at that . Just then , Ruby called . Nathan got up to answer . " Yes , Mom . " " You're awake ? " It seemed like there were quite a few people at Ruby's end of the line .

" She had heard a bit about Nathan's situation .

She was waiting for Nathan so that they could go to the Ravelle residence together , but he never came .

She told Rowen , then went upstairs to look . " Nathan ? " Elena peeked into his bedroom from the door without stepping inside . " Nathan , are you okay ? " However , the room seemed empty , which she found strange . The study door was open , but he wasn't there either . She wondered if his hangover had made him feel so poorly that he had fainted somewhere . Feeling worried , Elena rushed into the bedroom and raised her voice . " Nathan ? " She searched for a while , but the sound of flushing water made her stop . Elena turned toward the bathroom . Nathan emerged , his face slightly pale .

His right hand rested lightly on his lower abdomen . " What's wrong ? " Elena stepped closer . " Not feeling well ? " Nathan waved his hand , but he looked a little unwell . " Is it a stomachache ? " " No , " he replied . " Food poisoning ? " " No. " 2/3 Chapter 447 +25 BONUS Elena paused , then hesitated . " ... Hemorrhoids ? " Nathan's lips twitched , and he turned to her . " I'm fine .

However , her steps felt unusually heavy as she left the villa . Usually , she chattered endlessly around him , yet now she was strikingly silent . After a while in the car , Nathan asked , " What's wrong ? You don't want to go ? " " No , no . I'm just worried about you . " Elena kept glancing at him , suspecting that he was going through irritable male syndrome .
