"I want to wash my hands," Jasper Milton said. "Oh," Natalie Wheeler opened the door and stood aside. Jasper turned on the tap and washed his hands. He looked at Natalie's reflection in the mirror. She stood aside quietly. With her eyes lowered, she looked lovely. He thought of her stubbornness and his eyes became sharper, "Why did you lock the door? Are you afraid that I'll eat you?" "Uh, well, it's a habit," Natalie explained. Jasper turned around and looked at her, "Did you call Allen?" "It's too early when I came back. I just woke up and haven't had time to call him." "Was it because of the time difference, or was it because you just didn't want to call him?" Jasper questioned, fixing his eyes on her. Natalie felt even more pressured, "Do you not believe me?" "I'm afraid that you'll run away or you'll get plastic surgery and pretend that you don't know me. You're six years younger than me, so you still have a lot of time.
Jasper Milton was such a proud person. However, she hurt him with his love willfully. She tried her best to show him a woman's stubbornness, overbearingness, unreasonableness, and just how difficult she was to get along with. She planned to push him far away as quickly as she could until his love for her was depleted. However, perhaps that did not matter. As long as she loved him, it would be fine. She knew that what she did was right. Jasper had already sacrificed a lot for her. She still remembered his look when he was wearing a military uniform. He was upstanding and righteous. He was able to gain a decisive victory with just a glance. He had that kind of arrogance. She still remembered the time when they first met. He said, "I am a soldier and I will protect you." He went to study in the military school a long time ago and he started off as a special forces soldier. From then on, he made great contributions to the army. Without the help of
"What?" Natalie Wheeler was surprised why Aneira had asked this question out of the blue. Aneira Mallon curled up the corner of her mouth, "Mr. Milton usually doesn't even want to talk to Avril. He doesn't even want to give her a glance. However, whenever he shows up, you'd show up too. Don't tell me you don't know him." Natalie understood and she smiled slightly, "It turns out that he and I have such a fate." "Don't you two know each other? If not, why did he give this cooperation to you?" Aneira said aggressively. "When I went to Stephen's island last time, Mr. Milton was also there. There was an accident and they all thought it was me who saved them. I think that's probably the reason why. Honestly, I just have lady luck on my side. Historically, many successful people have gotten to where they were with some degree of luck. I've always been quite lucky. If you cooperate with me, I believe you will be lucky too," Natalie said with a smile. "You do have
When Avril saw that there was no response from the people behind her, she turned around and looked at the picture. "What's going on?" she asked in horror. "The pirate was not smiling just now, why is he smiling now?" "This is a double-sided picture. Depending on the position you're at and the angle of view, different pictures could be seen," Natalie Wheeler explained. "Oh, I see. Jasper, I'm a little scared. Could you please take my hand?" Avril said to Jasper. Natalie chuckled. Jasper Milton pinched her waist and loosened his hand. Hearing Natalie's laughter, Avril asked, "What are you laughing at?" "Your mother is very cute," Natalie said meaningfully. "Are you sure? It's a shame that she does not have a companion even though she is so lovable. Let's keep going then," Avril said. All of a sudden, something fell from above and Avril screamed. Natalie was caught off guard. She was also scared and she took a step backward. Avri
"Do you think it was done by one person or two?" Jasper Milton asked. "Not less than two. They have to drug Avril and avoid the oil lamp from falling onto the ground. It can't be done by just one person. The person who locked the door didn't come in from the front door because the door was locked from outside. If the person who locked the door came in, that means that there are other passages in this castle." Natalie Wheeler walked to the fireplace and looked at the ashes inside, "Jasper, look." Jasper walked over and saw the drag marks on the ground, "I'll go up and take a look." He got in and retreated quickly. The oil splashed down from above, followed by a dozen pieces of lighted wood. When the wood came into contact with the oil, it lit up into a raging flame. Jasper took Natalie's hand and took three steps back. "Hit the door," Jasper said. He lifted the chair, walked out, and smashed it towards the door. One, two, three... the door was f
Natalie Wheeler looked into his starry eyes, as if she was being sucked in. Rationally, she should refuse, but her heart was being tugged in the opposite direction. She had always wanted to go on a trip with him, but she never had the chance. Could she go this time? The sentence, "There's no one there who knows you and me," hit the spot where she was most moved. "How long will we be there?" Natalie asked. Jasper smiled. "It's up to you. If you want to go longer, I'll accompany you for a few more days. If you want to come back, then I'll come back with you." These words put all her worries at ease. "Okay, then, let's not meet each other tonight to avoid other's suspicion. See you in Amsterdam," Natalie replied. Jasper lowered his head and kissed her on her lips deeply. The joy in his eyes was not hidden, he said softly, "See you there." After Jasper left, she checked out from the room and went back to pack up her luggage. Now t
Natalie Wheeler remembered the first time when she met Frederick Addington. He knew that she was a medical student, then he said that he knew all the directors of the hospitals in A City, and he could arrange a job for her. Natalie smiled, "You seem to have forgotten Sean's identity. It's easy for me to get a job. It's just that I want to rely on myself, so you don't have to worry about me." "So, are you not giving me a chance at all?" Frederick said disappointingly. "If I give you a chance, you will only be putting more effort into it. The more effort you put in, the more resentment you will have in the end. If you know that it's impossible, it's better to snuff out your affection as soon as possible. I want to go to the bathroom before the plane takes off. Is there anything else that you want to tell me, Mr. Addington?" Natalie asked politely. "Will I see you again in the future?" Frederick asked. "Since it's already impossible between us, then there's n
Natalie's eyes widened. Thinking that Frederick Addington was still behind them, she didn't have time to explain in detail. She wanted to take Jasper away immediately. Jasper Milton shook her hand off with a cold face. Natalie Wheeler was stunned. She knew that Jasper was angry, so she kept her head lowered and walked forward. Jasper gritted his teeth and held her arm. He then turned around and walked to the other side. There were two guards standing at the exit on the other side. Jasper handed his credentials to the guard. After scanning it, the guard let them in. Jasper didn't say anything after coming out from the exit. He grabbed her and continued to walk forward. Natalie saw that the corridor was pretty much empty, so she could roughly guess that this was the passage towards a private plane. He took her into the lounge and let go of her hand. He looked at her coldly and said in a deep voice, "Tell me why you came to Paris."
