Oliver's gaze fell on Natalie, not on the stage. He knew exactly what video was about to play - the one he had substituted for Victoria's during the family meeting. "Adrian, didn't I tell you that marriage is a grave? Why rush to bury yourself?" The conversation in the video echoed through the speakers."Who said I'm burying myself?" Adrian held a scantily clad model tightly in his arms and passionately kissed her. The party was wild, and Adrian, heavily intoxicated, promptly removed the model's remaining clothing and intimately leaned in for a kiss.The model playfully scolded Adrian with shyness, and the rich young men around them cheered and shouted. "A suitable partner at home is for having kids and taking care of my mother, but I can still find beautiful women outside!""Hahaha! Adrian, I thought you were deeply in love with Hailey!" The young model teased, her hand reaching below Adrian's navel. "Adrian, you're aroused!"Adrian laughed mischievously and pushed the model onto the
Natalie glanced at the stage; she didn't want to embarrass herself by hurrying up there."You..." Robert was so angry that his face turned red, but he couldn't find any words to refute her!Is it just insisting that Natalie seduced Adrian? Now Natalie has a legitimate reason to avoid suspicion!Under the half-mask, Oliver's lips curled slightly, arrogantly and proudly.Their little cat finally dared to show its claws and scratch her so-called loved ones. Not bad, some improvement!With this smile from Oliver, several female guests around him were dumbfounded.How did he become so handsome, charming, and doting! I can't even remember that just a few hours ago he was full of murderous intent!Disfigured? With this half of his intact face, he is already handsome enough, okay?!The guests were all watching the dramatic engagement ceremony in the grand hall, and there were only a few people quickly adjusting on the deck of the luxurious cruise ship."Where are we going?" Natalie asked."Ho
"No, I'm not." Oliver gently pushed her to sit on the nearby sofa, sat down beside her, and took a sip of water, making his lips look slightly redder.Natalie suddenly remembered that she hadn't cooked for Oliver in half a month. At first, it was because he suddenly went abroad, and later it was due to their conflicts.The pain in his stomach eased a bit after drinking water, but then it struck again, fierce and relentless.Oliver couldn't alleviate it even after drinking several glasses of water.Seeing his unpleasant face, Natalie couldn't help but sit beside him and gently rub his stomach with her soft hands, trying to relieve his physical pain with this method."Do you have any stomach medicine?""I don't take that stuff." He spoke with a disdainful tone.In fact, before Natalie, his stomach problem was not so apparent. It was only after discovering the taste of delicious food that he could no longer stomach tasteless dishes. He used to be able to force down some food."What shoul
"Liam said that while I'm still unfamiliar with Lady, the success rate of deception is higher," Jamie replied seriously. "...You really have inherited Uncle Liam's skills," Charles admitted with self-deprecation, giving a thumbs-up. "I suppose it won't work after a few more times." Oliver's stomach problem turned out to be more severe than Charles expected; he had developed a stomach ulcer and was receiving a drip. After the drip was finished, he would need to remain in the hospital for observation. Natalie delivered meals to the hospital on time, but always through someone else, never showing herself. On the third day, Jamie looked at her with a troubled expression. "Lady, please personally take the young master's meal inside. If you don't accompany him, he won't eat." Natalie sensed a certain tension and low pressure among the bodyguards and medical staff, indicating that the person in the ward had a bad temper. "He'll eat when he's hungry," Natalie said, seeing that Jamie d
After delivering the meal, Natalie accepted Jane's invitation and the two met at a private dessert shop in the commercial district."Jane, have you hurt your lip?" Natalie looked at Jane's lips in surprise."Huh?" Jane subconsciously touched her lips that were kissed and injured by Anthony that day. She said, "It's inflamed.""Oh.""Natalie, are you okay after falling into the sea?" Jane was shocked when she heard the news."I just swallowed a few mouthfuls of water, but it's not a big deal.""I heard Oliver went down to save you. At least he has a bit of a conscience," Jane commented.To be precise, it was Roger who saved her. Natalie touched her phone and thought of the text message Roger had sent, naturally obtaining his phone number.Seeing that Jane was in good spirits and her body had recovered, Natalie felt relieved and brought up today's topic.Today's topic: The aftermath of Adrian and Hailey's engagement farce!Although Jane's current status couldn't be considered as an elit
Oliver was equally shocked by this scene.She just went back like that?She actually listened and went back?She's never this obedient normally!Oliver was so angry that he threw his pen.After a while, he called Charles in and asked, "Where's Natalie?"As hopeless as Charles felt inside, he maintained a blank expression on his face and replied, "Lady has returned to the Rosewood Estate." It was you who told her to leave.Oliver gritted his teeth, not having been this frustrated in years.Charles continued, "Sir, the competition for 'Top Avenue' is in two days, with the second and third rounds held simultaneously. It will last for a week. Lady is going to the competition, and if you don't leave the hospital, you won't see Lady for over ten days, which practically amounts to half a month!"As Charles finished speaking, he saw the young master's face becoming even colder.In the past, Natalie would have cautiously asked if he allowed her to go, and if he was unhappy, she wouldn't have b
In the dim light, the woman's bright eyes gazed at him.Oliver's breath caught, his pupils shrinking. "...You...aren't asleep?"The man's voice carried a subtle awkwardness.He specifically waited until she fell asleep before returning.Natalie was shorter than him, so even lying in bed she needed to lift her head to look at him. Her deer-like eyes blinked, her voice soft and sweet. "I was waiting for you."Perhaps it was the night that fueled courage and impulse, as Natalie's eyes now bore a playful glint.An unnatural expression flickered across Oliver's eyes, causing him to adopt an even sterner expression. "Waiting for me for what?""Let's reconcile!" Natalie said, her voice gentle. "I accept your apology, and I also apologize for my impolite behavior these past few days. Please forgive me."Oliver's already unappealing complexion darkened further.Reconcile?Is your behavior just a matter of impoliteness?You intentionally provoked and annoyed me as your husband!And now you're s
Oliver couldn't explain the mixed feelings in his heart. He had deliberately left early in the morning just to avoid seeing her... Okay, he admitted he was annoyed by the fact that she wouldn't let go of the apology matter, feeling uncomfortable inside.And now she had brought breakfast for him, giving him an unprecedented sense of warmth.If she wanted to make fun of him, let her.Oliver waited for about ten minutes, but he didn't expect to see only Charles carrying the food container.Embarrassed, Charles said, "Lady suddenly had something come up and had to leave...""It's open; I heard from the front desk that it seemed to be because of a phone call." The man's face instantly turned black."Gone?""...Um, yes."Charles thought, didn't you just not want she to come earlier? Talk about a face slap.The place Robert arranged to meet was a prestigious upscale restaurant in Paykston, decorated in a purely European style.To their surprise, Mrs. Watson was also there.Mrs. Watson made e
