"Did you major in philosophy or something?"
"No," Nathaniel laughed. "I studied and still do study life. I never went to college. I do read a lot though. Mostly, I have just been lucky. I am very comfortable with what I have."
"So, you didn't come from money?" Dominique asked.
"My family had money. We were not millionaires but we were comfortable. I never lacked for anything material that I needed."
"Material? The way you say that sounds like you were lacking something else you needed."
"My mother was a sweet woman. She was strict when she needed to be. But I never lacked love from her. She died when I was 17. My father became a drunk after she passed. He was never really a good man anyway. He died when I was 22. I did not mourn his passing. Instead, I took over his company. My wife was there for me every step of the way. She could have the worst temper but she was usually always sweet-natured."
