The Heartbreak Prescription (by Glazed Snow) novel Chapter 1180

The crowd quickly chimed in. "We don't mind waiting. Mr. Lowe must just be tied up with work."

"Getting to see Mr. Lowe at all would be an honor."

Tabitha leaned closer to Ivy and lowered her voice. "Is he here yet?"

Ivy looked at Roger. "Grandpa, Nathan isn't coming today."

What?

Roger stiffened. "What did you just say? Nathan isn't coming?"

Tabitha frowned. "Why isn't he here? It's your grandfather's birthday. Didn't you say he'd come with you?"

Ivy stayed calm. "There's a problem with one of Lowe Group's overseas projects, so Nathan had to fly out overnight. He feels terrible about missing your birthday, but he asked me to pass along his wishes and hopes you have many more years ahead."

So Nathan had gone on a business trip.

Roger wasn't pleased. Of all times, it had to be today. Still, he kept it off his face. "I see. Work comes first."

Tabitha quickly smoothed things over. "Men have responsibilities. The Lowe family runs a massive operation. Nathan's the heir, so it's only natural he's busy. We should be understanding."

Roger nodded.

Edric, however, didn't look happy. "No matter how busy he is, skipping a birthday like this doesn't look right. Aren't you pregnant, Ivy? And he still left you alone? You should focus more on your husband and your family instead of chasing after other things all the time."

There was clear disapproval in his voice. He had always believed Ivy was mean to Kate.

However, Ivy's expression didn't change. She simply smiled.

Tabitha bristled. "What are you…"
