Oliver felt a tremor in his heart. "Better than them."His woman would naturally perform the best.Hearing the answer she wanted, Natalie smiled brightly, feeling much more at ease. "Although your credibility as a layperson is not high, thank you, brother!""Not high credibility..." Oliver chuckled and pinched Natalie's chin. "Are you insulting me?""No, no!" Natalie's eyes curved as she felt a warm feeling with Oliver for the first time.A rich aroma wafted from the kitchen.It was the apple pie that Natalie had baked.The golden and crispy apple pie was now ready.The pie, with its perfect blend of buttery aroma and tangy apples, whets the appetite and triggers salivation. Natalie handed Oliver a piece, but the man furrowed his brows, showing no interest in this kind of dessert that little girls liked."Uncle Liam, would you like some?" Natalie turned to Liam, pretending as if nothing unmentionable had happened in the living room just now.Liam smiled and graciously responded, "Than
Oliver held Natalie tighter in his arms and whispered, "Go back to sleep."Natalie's head bumped against his solid chest, feeling warmth from his embrace. But recalling his gentle demeanor just now, she refrained from making any awkward movements.She fell back asleep, experiencing a night of pleasant dreams.As Natalie's breathing became steady, the man's eyes grew cold and fierce.He sent a message to Charles, mentioning a few names and issuing a second command.Natalie woke up again, and the morning light had already seeped into the bedroom. There was an empty spot next to her in bed.A note was left on the bedside table, written in Oliver's forceful handwriting that reflected his dominating personality.It read: "Announce the marriage."Natalie's heart trembled as she touched the wedding ring on her finger.He took her away from everything.But now she was already considered a semi-public figure, and if their marriage was announced... even if it isn't...Revealing Oliver's identit
That necklace rumored to be a sky-high pendant was nothing more than her wedding ring.In just a short sentence, Natalie managed to wash away any doubts."Damn, Natalie is married? She got married so young? She looks like she just turned legal!""The wedding ring was said to be a necklace. Whoever leaked that, your information is maliciously distorting the facts!""For some reason, I feel like Jane's words make sense. Women are really scary!""Am I the only one who noticed Natalie's collarbone? It's so beautiful, I could lick it for a year!"Internet users always flip-flop in their opinions, and Natalie is used to swiftly contradicting them.Because of Jane's incident, she had to revise her caption once again."Natalie": I'm 20 years old this year, meeting the legal age for marriage. The clothes were bought by my husband, and the car that night belonged to my husband. Thank you for your concerns! In addition, regardless of how The Watkins is now, Jane has never changed, whether it's h
Although Oliver was not satisfied with her being forced into this marriage, he did fulfill his duties as a husband and protected her. This was the first time, apart from Flora and Jane, that someone had treated her this way."Milady, why don't you personally thank the young master?" Liam suggested.Personally expressing her gratitude would naturally be more sincere than someone else conveying the message. However, Natalie wasn't in a hurry for now, especially considering the embarrassing incident that happened when she rashly appeared at the RK Group headquarters last time. She shook her head to refuse.Charles received a meaningful look from Liam and refrained from saying "Okay" that was about to come out of his mouth. Instead, he solemnly said, "Milady, I don't know what you want to thank him for. If you wish to thank him, please get in the car.""...Then I'll wait until my brother returns to say it. I don't want to disturb him while he's working," Natalie found an excuse."Mr. Wind
Unexpectedly, he was humiliated by an assistant! Michael picked up his briefcase and hurriedly bid farewell without mentioning his daughter again. Natalie let out a sigh of relief and brought out the food from the lunch box. Natalie's intention was simple. As Oliver had protected her reputation like a responsible husband, clearing rumors about her online, she should do her part to help him. But Oliver didn't think that way. He sat on the couch with his legs crossed, looking at Natalie with a smirk. "Just now, Mrs. Windsor was acting like a wife, eliminating other pursuers for me." Oliver didn't like women who were overly calculating, but if Natalie got unhappy because of other women being nice to him, he thought it was quite enjoyable! Was he mocking her? Natalie had the urge to roll her eyes. Who was she doing that for? "Brother, thank you for the online matter." Oliver glanced at the dishes: baked salmon, seafood rice, shrimp salad, and a spicy dish. It was a lavish spread, clearly
When he now asked her seriously and respectfully, the word "no" hesitated on Natalie's lips.Even if this marriage wasn't his true desire, he had helped and protected her after their wedding, along with her own body.If he was insistent, he would have taken it long ago.It was precisely under this subconscious realization that she had allowed his "mischievous" actions earlier."Not here."Natalie panicked and glanced around the office, still decorated in Oliver's signature gray and dark tones.This statement was tantamount to giving consent.Countless women were eagerly waiting for him, ready to be chosen and taken by him, but only the woman in front of him nodded, bringing immense joy to Oliver's heart and soul."Okay."Oliver cupped Natalie's face with both hands and fiercely kissed her sweet lips, a gleam of darkness in his eyes.Indeed, his precious baby only responded to tenderness, not force.The food in the thermal lunchbox had been sitting there for too long and was almost col
Coincidentally.Natalie didn't sleep very well that night, whether it was because she had gotten used to having Oliver by her side during this period or because of the news during the day, she couldn't tell.If it was the former, it would be terrifying.The next morning, Natalie received a call from Oliver."What gift do you want?"It was another gift.Natalie thought of the priceless necklace in the wardrobe and quickly said, "There's nothing I want.""Hmm?" Oliver was dissatisfied with her response."Oh, the things I like, you can't bring them back." His domineering nature resurfaced, and Natalie was worried that if she didn't say anything, he would buy her gifts worth millions."What's that?"The conditions at the private hospital in France were excellent, and the ward had floor-to-ceiling windows. Oliver put his hand in his pocket and could see the silhouette of the Eiffel Tower in the distance."Sunrise." Natalie said, "I really like Monet's 'Sunrise'."Oliver chuckled. "No taste
In reality, Natalie was only fond of the artistic conception of Monet's "Impression Sunrise," the flavor of that painting. It was only at this moment that she was truly moved by the sunrise. The tall wall in her heart had already been silently shattered by him, leaving a breach. "Thank you, Oliver," she said. The man in the camera tilted up the corner of his mouth, shining brighter than the seaside sunrise. Verbal thanks serve no purpose; it's not like we're kindergarten kids. "Brother, how's your appetite been lately?" Natalie had been taking care of Oliver's meals and hadn't noticed any lack of appetite. On the contrary, his appetite was quite good. Mentioning food, Oliver couldn't help but frown, taking the opportunity to complain, "Natalie, your man is starving to death in France." In the past, he had been accustomed to anorexia and could eat those tasteless things even when starving. But after tasting the food Natalie cooked, eating those things would be pure torment. Natal
