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
Adrian had never intended to make their engagement news public, let alone announce their wedding plans online. It was enough for their circle of friends to know. How else could he continue his affairs, especially with innocent students? But of course, Adrian couldn't tell Hailey his true thoughts. Instead, he made up an excuse that the news might affect the stock market and their business dealings.Having achieved her goal, Hailey was in a good mood. She sweet-talked Adrian, promising him a wild night in the field to appease him. Finally, she managed to calm him down.As the end of summer approached, the temperature began to drop. The weather wasn't exactly bad, but it wasn't particularly good either.Oliver had been out of the country for a week, and in two days, it would be Hailey and Adrian's engagement party. Natalie wondered whether she should go alone if Oliver still hadn't returned, or if she should just skip it altogether.As Natalie sifted the low-gluten flour and mixed it wi
Jamie was Oliver's personal driver and bodyguard, an influential figure by Oliver's side.Liam went to contact Jamie with a subtle expression on his face. He came back and told Oliver, "Young Master, Lady went to All Night Manor.""Tell her to come back immediately!" Oliver's face suddenly turned cold, changing his words, "Tell her to roll back to me, now!"Liam was taken aback, it had been a while since he had seen Oliver so emotionally exposed.He knew All Night Manor was the most famous entertainment venue in Paykston and guessed that Young Master wouldn't be pleased, but he didn't expect such a reaction."It's so big.""...Master, Lady arrived there ten minutes ago."Just then, Cadence called.Oliver didn't have time to deal with her and hung up directly.Seeing the call being ended, Cadence refused to give up and tried to call twice more until finally being connected."You better have something important to say!"Each word from Oliver felt like it was forced out of his teeth, chi
Jane was not confident in finishing the fight quickly, so she lowered her head and called Natalie with her phone, but Natalie hadn't answered the call.One of the men said to Jane with ill intentions, "Beauty, why don't you spend a night with us, and we won't accuse you of maliciously injuring someone."One of the men wanted to touch Jane's face, but she skillfully avoided it, leaving marks on him.Jane's previous actions might have left bruises, but it didn't constitute malicious harm.However, if these spoiled playboys really wanted to frame her, they had ways and "evidence" to do so.With so many people around, the person pulling her moved quickly and without regard for others. Natalie bumped into people several times and got glared at and cursed at. She even had to quickly apologize to people after getting hurt."Hey! Let go of me! Who are you? If you don't let me go, I'll call someone!""Mr. Windsor, please let her go!"Adrian was preparing to go to the bathroom when he coinciden
Adrian tried to stop Oliver, but Oliver easily kicked him away.Oliver's mind was fixated on Natalie, and only then did he feel Cadence's hand resting on his.In his embrace, he spread out repulsively, giving a warning glance to those around, and pulled Natalie away with big strides.Adrian and the others wanted to catch up, but a group of bodyguards appeared out of nowhere and stopped them.The leader was Jamie, who had brought Natalie here."Who do you think you are? Do you know who this is? He is the young master of the Harrington family! His grandfather is the chairman of Windsor Group! Move aside!" someone shouted. But soon, it was replaced by sounds of fighting and yelling.Charles waited anxiously outside. Dealing with violent incidents like bar fights was Jamie's specialty.Finally, Charles greeted them when they came out."Sir, lady!" Seeing Oliver's dark and gloomy expression and Natalie, who usually had a good temper, filled with anger and indifference, Jamie didn't know wh
Jane rushed out of the All Night Manor. Outside, there was only the howling night wind and the dazzling light of the All Night Manor sign.She anxiously looked around, but couldn't find any trace of Natalie."Jane, let us take you to the hospital," a man approached, exuding a strong aura of dominance.Just now at the bar, Jane was worried about Natalie. Unusually, she lowered her head and owed a favor to those people, hoping to leave quickly and find Natalie.However, those people had been waiting for a long time to see Jane fall from grace, seizing the opportunity. How could they let her off easily?Jane was furious and in the end, resorted to violence.The bar became chaotic, with several men and one woman fighting without any regard for their dignity.Someone punched Jane in the back, and the fight came to a halt. Within the blink of an eye, four or five men in plain clothes came rushing in, shielding Jane from any danger.The tall figure before her had his features hidden under a
Oliver furrowed his brows, looking at the spaghetti in the thermos.But in his mind, he pictured the seafood soup Natalie used to make.Susan's spaghetti was simple and hadn't changed over the years.Natalie, on the other hand, would carefully consider the pairing and nutritional aspects when cooking and use more diverse ingredients."I'll eat it later," Oliver said.Susan's eyes lit up with joy, and she sweetly smiled at Oliver. "As long as you want to eat it, I can make it for you from now on!"Oliver's brow twitched imperceptibly upon hearing "from now on", feeling an inexplicable resistance, and Natalie crossed his mind."Susan, I called you here to ask about this. What's going on?" Oliver took out his phone, displaying the news article about him and Susan."I... I just came back to the country and needed some attention and publicity, so... I'm sorry, I didn't know the netizens would speculate like this." Susan subconsciously glanced at Oliver. Although he often appeared expressio
"Because Zoey is so good at makeup, and there's only Jacob in our group, how could I lend you makeup." Jane's smile is mischievous, as if it were a joke, making people feel no disgust, "You have Zoey's makeup technology, we use cosmetics to make up for Jacob's poor aesthetic, just to even out the odds!"Zoey chuckled, thinking that Jane, the former top socialite, was indeed not bragging. She managed to manipulate people without offending anyone unrelated, hitting the target precisely."Jane, aren't you going to scold me to death?" Jacob exclaimed in anger.His hands trembled as he applied blush on Natalie's cheeks. Having never done makeup for a woman before, he was already nervous, and then there was a woman next to him who kept making sarcastic remarks.Jane laughed, "You won't die, but you might feel happier."Lily looked at Natalie, hoping she would speak up and exchange props with her, but Natalie closed her eyes and allowed Jacob to do her makeup as if she hadn't heard anything.
"Lily!" Sharon frowned and reprimanded her.Lily pretended to suddenly understand, "Ah! I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?"Zoey looked at these two people and a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. She had seen through the tricks of these young people as if watching a show.Jane sneered at Lily and her lips moved slightly as she quietly asked Natalie, "Natalie, do you think I should throw this lunch in her face?"Natalie calmly held Jane's wrist and calmed her down.It wouldn't be good for Jane's reputation if she were to have conflict with Lily in front of so many people.Instead, Natalie smiled and said, "Why do you care about what I do with my husband? Are you interested in my husband? Whether or not I cook for him, isn't it my freedom to decide?" If Natalie's husband were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but unfortunately, he's Oliver. If she speaks carelessly, she could easily be labeled as someone who harbors ill intentions towards him, becoming the laughingstock and g
Jacob was shocked, his captivating fox eyes widened, "You...""Jane won the National Junior Amateur Shooting gold medal prize in high school. Haven't you heard of it?" Natalie said as she picked up the note to read it.Jacob was still stunned and thought, "I've only heard that Jane used to fight and go to bars. Who knew this girl would also play with guns? Is this a joke?""Both fighting and shooting? What's the point of being reincarnated as a woman?" Jacob couldn't help but comment."Just to make you feel ashamed. A man who wasted three bullets!" Jane laughed, her beauty extraordinary.Look down on my best friend? I'll curse you until you question your life!Natalie spread out the notes and said, "There are seven words."NPC Reminder: "Not every clue is a valid one."Jacob had an expression of "what the hell."What's the point of a clue if it's invalid?!The directing team loves this kind of teasing plotlines."How can we tell what this
Although the online photos didn't reveal Oliver's face or provide any indication of who he was, Natalie recognized him at first glance. It was the man she had once shared a bed with.He was the man who said he had work that night when she called."Natalie, don't overthink it. Maybe that's not Oliver? You can call him and ask." Jane advised, though she was already cursing Oliver inwardly."That person is Oliver." Natalie lowered her gaze and sneered. She recognized the cufflink he was wearing, the one she had given him.Not only that cufflink, but almost everyone in Paykston's upper circles knew that Mr. Windsor's most commonly used car was a top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce Phantom, with a black body and subtle luxury, bearing the license plate "7".And the car that was exposed online met all the requirements for Oliver's vehicle!"Take your positions, we're about to start!" The director's team urged.Lily touched up her makeup and walked over with a smile. "N
When Natalie finished her class and arrived at the recording site, most of the other guests had already arrived. The area was cordoned off, and there were many onlookers standing outside the designated area, including students from other universities who had rushed over after hearing the news.Natalie spotted someone in one of the guest's seats from a distance, her gaze flickered and then she smiled with joy, "Jane!"Jane stood up and embraced Natalie as she ran towards her.The surrounding students whispered to each other:"Natalie is also a guest?""Natalie's beside Jane? I can't believe it!""Who is that person? Such a strong presence!" "You don't know Jane? The former top socialite was not boasting." "Because birds of a feather flock together, beautiful people naturally become best friends with other beautiful people, right?" "Jane, why did you agree to be on a variety show?" Natalie asked, puzzled. Jane's personality was clearly not s
"This way to your seat." the assistant said to the tall man behind him.Even with sunglasses on, Natalie still recognized him at first glance. He was Joseph, the country's top male international supermodel!With wheat-colored skin and not particularly delicate features, he exuded absolute sophistication, making him a darling of several luxury brands. He had an inherent sense of nobility, fitting for a male model."If all goes well, we should be finished filming today and return home the same day. You will have a day off tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, you'll join the team to record the variety show." Emily stopped mid-sentence when she noticed Natalie's peculiar gaze.She followed Natalie's line of sight and locked eyes with Joseph, who had taken off his sunglasses.After a moment of bewilderment, Emily averted her gaze and continued discussing the schedule and today's points of attention with Natalie.Joseph casually spun his sunglasses on his fingerti
"Mrs. Windsor, are you going to deny it after hugging me?" Oliver said, his emotions unclear."What do you mean by ‘deny it after hugging'? What is there to deny?" Natalie replied, confused.Confronted with Natalie's baffled expression, Oliver instinctively pulled her into his arms and gave her a kiss.Natalie subconsciously glanced toward the company's entrance gate, and sure enough, she saw multiple pairs of curious eyes staring at them.Quickly, Natalie pulled Oliver toward the car, her ears burning red.Meanwhile, Oliver stood motionless, allowing Natalie to pull and tug, like a sulking child.Natalie looked up at the sky in disbelief, wondering what this man was up to. Suddenly, a thought flashed in her mind. She tiptoed and quickly pecked Oliver's lips, whispering softly, "Darling, shall we go home?"Her voice, unbeknownst to Natalie herself, carried a gentle warmth, sounding almost coquettish. Oliver had originally intended to defy her and stand th
"Go and apologize to her!" Just minutes before Storme brought Lily to apologize, Emily had discovered that Lily was the one who had used an employee card to enter and had brushed shoulders with Mrs. Watson. "Emily, Natalie, I'm truly sorry. Lily made a mistake today. She didn't recognize Mrs. Watson and thought she was one of Natalie's relatives with an urgent matter. That's why she brought her in. We came to apologize!" Storme, being a top-tier agent at HHY, possessed excellent skills and emotional intelligence.Lily sincerely apologized to Natalie, echoing Storme's explanation.Emily and Natalie exchanged a subtle glance- they were surely lying!Emily's smile remained unchanged as she said, "What a coincidence indeed! Lily brought in Mrs. Watson to create a scene. It seems even the security guards didn't hear anything. If I hadn't made the call, they might not have come at all."What did she mean by "Lily brought in Mrs. Watson to create a scene"! Emily k
