"So... did you come here today just to obliterate my final chance?" Allen's face darkened. "There is one more thing. I would still like to ask for your favor to help Eli. If you have any conditions, just tell me, and I will try my best to fulfill it," Natalie Wheeler raised her chin and said with determination. "What if I asked you to stay with me for a year?" Allen asked. Natalie was silent for a moment. Allen chuckled, "I'm joking. That's not something I would want to do, to force my dream girl to do something which she clearly doesn't want to do. Don't worry, I'll still help you without any conditions. I just hope that we could still be friends. I still remember you said that you were going to cook for me." Natalie looked at him gratefully. Allen rubbed her hair and said, "Actually, I've thought a lot over the past few days. I know the reason that you wanted to date me was not that you liked me. You have too many thoughts and misgivings and that m
Jasper Milton did not call her for the whole day. When she returned to the hotel arranged by Allen in the evening, she gave Jasper a call. "Hello," Natalie Wheeler spoke first. "Yes?" Jasper answered in a deep voice. "It is done," Natalie said. "Oh," Jasper just responded calmly. "Good night. See you in Amsterdam tomorrow." "Okay," Jasper then hung up the phone. Natalie had a strange feeling in her heart. It felt so heavy as if a stone was pressing down on her heart. She wanted to call Jasper again, but she didn't know what to say. She was never a good conversationalist after all. She put her mobile phone on the side table and went to the bathroom to take a bath. She thought of an article she had read before and felt that it was particularly useful. The article was about a man who wanted to return home after working for three years. Before he left, his boss gave him three pieces of advice. First, he should not sear
Stella Grace gave Eli Wayne a call after showing her final respects to her mother. "Natalie, I have some good news. Sean has signed the contract with Aneira. He promised me that I could travel for a month with my baby. Hahahahaha, my happy days are finally coming," Eli said happily as soon as she answered the phone. "Ah, I am also happy for you. You must live a wonderful and magnanimous life for yourself. Although it will be ordinary, at the very least, you would be safe. You will be happy for sure, because it is what you have longed for all this while," Natalie said with a smile. "Yes, I have to leave Sean first. He has a wife and he is the President too. If I were to be exposed, I will be a sinner forever. Maybe I will be recorded in history and be known as the enchantress who brings calamity to the country and its people. Then I will be unlucky and my reputation will be ruined forever, hahaha." "Well, when are you going to leave?" Natalie asked in a low voice
Natalie didn't want Eli to worry, so she called her. "What did my parents say?" Eli asked anxiously. "Not only did your mother agree to retire, but she also wanted to leave with you and take care of you in the future." "Really?" Eli was excited. "Yes, but she still needs to convince your father. You don't have to worry about it. Your father loves you more than your mother does. If he knows that you have had your difficulties, he would most definitely leave with you without a doubt. Also, since your parents have been informed, for the sake of safety, it would be better if you don't meet them for the time being. Sean is very cautious and we should be careful too." "Okay, it's great that my parents are willing to leave together with me. The money I have is enough for us to live for a lifetime. Apart from not being able to meet you again, I don't think I have any other regrets in this life," Eli said with tears flowing down her face. "All good things in
"Your parents could sign up for a tour that goes to a place near France instead. I'll contact Allen and ask him to pick your parents up," Natalie Wheeler suggested. "You're really smart. My thoughts were too simple. I'll do as you say. Please contact my parents for me then." "Okay." They went to a bar nearby after dinner. The two of them had a lot of wine and they were already starting to get tipsy. Then, they went to karaoke to sing. Natalie selected a lot of songs, singing and shouting hysterically. Eli Wayne also drank a lot of wine. She couldn't hold on any longer and she eventually fell asleep on the sofa. Natalie asked for a blanket from the waiter and continued to sing after covering Eli with the blanket. The last song which she had picked was "See You". "I am afraid that I have no chance, so I will say see you because maybe I will never see you again. I will leave tomorrow. That familiar place. The familiar you. We are going to be
"Oh." Natalie Wheeler responded, her eyes cloudy, "I came with my friend, so I won't bother you anymore." "Oh, okay," Elvis Zachary responded. "Miss Wheeler, the original price for the yacht is 108 million dollars, but we are having a promotion now, so the price is 98 million dollars. You will be able to enjoy a 100 thousand dollars discount. In addition, we also have special gifts available for you, such as a microwave or an oven. We will hold a lucky draw as well, you will stand a chance to win a refrigerator, an electric motor, a motorboat, and so on," the salesperson explained enthusiastically. "Leave your business card with me and I will tell my friend about it. If she wants it, she will contact you later," Natalie said with low spirit. "Oh, okay." The salesperson handed over the business card with enthusiasm. Natalie came out of the sales office and did not go back. The place was not far from the beach, so she went to wander around the dock. Th
Natalie Wheeler came to the door and looked out from the peephole. There were two men in suits. She had a bad feeling in her heart and did not open the door. "Miss Wheeler, we know you're inside. Open the door. Mr. Yaleman had asked us to come," one of the men said. Natalie frowned. Mr. Yaleman? They were Sean's men. It would only show her guiltiness if she ran away. She opened the door and asked, "Is there anything I could do for him?" "Mr. Yaleman had asked us to pick you up. You'd better ask him the details in person." "Okay," Natalie closed the door and followed them. After getting into the car, they took her handbag away and put a blindfold on her. Natalie had already expected it. Sean Yaleman had never been easy to deal with. He had to step on so many corpses to get to his present position. His viciousness was self-evident. She leaned against the seat calmly. Once a person had let go of everything in their li
She had seen a lot of partnership, as well as, separation in this world. Some people would fall in love and get married to each other eventually. However, they would divorce after ten or twenty years. After the divorce, they would stop contacting each other again. Marriage was as fragile as paper. Most of the time, the best way to maintain a marriage was to have children. Children were something that held actual weight, which was more useful than marriage certificates. Besides, despite how much he loved Eli, it was a fact that they had a child together. He had seen too much sorrow, joy, separation and reunion, and also the weakness of the relationships between family, friends, and lovers. Sean Yaleman was willing to take the risk of losing his reputation to keep Eli Wayne by his side. Although he was rather overbearing, at least Eli could still be her true self in front of him. In other words, it meant that he really doted on Eli. Eli might nev
