Unbeknownst to Lucas, there were two forces at play in this absolute control. One was Oliver, and the other was Roger.Soon, it was time for dinner. Lucas volunteered to cook for Natalie. Natalie initially didn't want Lucas to tire himself out, but she couldn't resist his insistence and had to compromise.The kitchen door was left open, and the excellent ventilation system prevented the kitchen fumes from spreading to the dining room and living room. Natalie knelt on the sofa, her arm resting on the back of the armchair, watching the young figure in the kitchen with a content and happy expression on her face."Natalie, sit properly!" Oliver's face looked displeased as he slapped her buttocks when she didn't obey."Ah!" Natalie exclaimed in shock, looking at Oliver with disbelief. "Oliver, you hit my butt again!"Oliver lifted his chin, indicating for her to sit properly.Liam, who was watching nearby, found it amusing. The young master couldn't stand it when Lady's gaze was fixed on s
Oliver took a bite. He ate everything with elegance, chewing expressionlessly twice before swallowing. Then, he glanced at Lucas."Although my cooking skills were taught by my sister, the apprentice is not as good as the master. You can't measure my sister's level by my standards!" Lucas quickly spoke, afraid that Oliver would criticize his sister because of his cooking skills.Natalie nervously watched Oliver, unsure of what he would say next. After all, Oliver even snubs Michelin-starred chefs with his picky taste buds.His sense of taste is abnormal in the first place. It was just a coincidence that he happened to like her cooking, whereas Lucas's dishes... they were tasteless and hard to swallow."Let's eat." Oliver commanded the two, forcing himself to swallow the food he just ate.Natalie breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of amusement in her eyes. Could it be that Oliver's peculiar eating disorder had improved?Lucas behaved like a big boy.Smiling, she sat down and continued to
Natalie felt embarrassed being held by him like a child, and there was something even more embarrassing.Oliver scooped up a ravioli and brought it to Natalie's lips."I have a cold. If we eat together, I might infect you with the virus," Natalie hesitated inwardly. Sharing the same bowl of ravioli and using the same spoon felt too intimate.Oliver's face darkened. "Natalie, do you still dislike me?""No, I don't! Really!" Natalie felt wronged. Why couldn't this man let go of his biases?She tried persuading him, "You eat it yourself. I've already eaten enough tonight."Oliver scoffed, then looked at the woman in his arms.Natalie's scalp tingled from his gaze and felt trapped, unable to escape. She reluctantly opened her mouth and ate, muttering, "Serves me right, getting infected.""Want to infect me?" Oliver glanced at her red lips and said, "You can try kissing me."Fuming, Natalie turned her head away, refusing to speak to him.Oliver continued with his dinner. This slight intima
Maria decided to publicly argue with Hailey online, accusing Hailey of considering Natalie as a thorn in her side and implying that she should do something about Natalie.Natalie, including her previous provocation towards Natalie, Hailey naturally protested. Both of them had their arguments, and internet users were engrossed in the gossip for several hours. However, it didn't take long for someone to anonymously expose Natalie's past as a G Entertainment artist. They claimed that G Entertainment had redirected resources meant for Natalie to Hailey, sacrificing Natalie to promote Hailey, and even listed various pieces of evidence to support their claims. Hailey initially thought that only Maria would be targeting her, but she never expected to come across such a bombshell! Despite searching for quite some time, they couldn't find out who the informant was.The Watson family could never have imagined that these solid pieces of evidence were all the doing of their seemingly plain Lucas.
"Ah! What are you doing!"As the man's hand touched her back, Natalie was startled and hugged her chest, trying to hide."Don't move," Oliver said softly.He brought some ointment, "I'm applying medicine for you.""...Oh," Natalie lay on the bed, exposing her entire back to the open air. Her skin felt a tingling and cool sensation, giving her goosebumps, but it was comforting.Natalie slightly turned her head and saw the man looking at her, with a serious gaze that appeared somewhat devout.Even getting dressed became Oliver's responsibility.Natalie felt a bit uncomfortable, but after her resistance proved futile, she could only accept it since it wasn't the first time he did something like this.Her gaze quickly glanced at the position of Oliver's belt.Oliver noticed everything and deliberately asked her, "What are you looking at?"Natalie looked away, "I wasn't looking at anything."After Oliver helped her put on the underwear, he gently pinched her waist.The soft flesh pressed a
The Rolls-Royce continued driving with people bustling about on a typical workday. Lucas, naturally intelligent and with a photographic memory, quickly realized that they were heading towards the hospital. Sure enough, five minutes later, the Rolls-Royce stopped at the finest private hospital in Paykston. "Do you really want me to get checked?" Lucas looked at Oliver suspiciously, feeling that this guy had ulterior motives. "Get inside!" Oliver impatiently urged him. The hospital had made arrangements beforehand, and Rosy, a professor and specialist, personally received Lucas. After understanding Lucas' situation, Rosy arranged for colleagues specializing in leukemia to assist him. The test results indicated that Lucas was in good health and could stay at home for recovery, taking medication to control the condition while waiting for a suitable bone marrow match for a definitive cure. Lucas took a photo of the medical report and sent it to Natalie to ease her worries. However,
If he did care, there wouldn't be rumors over the years saying "Mr. Windsor is extremely hideous and won't live long.""Are you asking me to help you talk to Mr. Windsor again? I won't do it," Natalie said. "In fact, you haven't sincerely treated me as a daughter or Lucas as a son all these years. You have not fulfilled your father's duty, and you do not want to be our father, so what qualification do you have to expect us to fulfill our filial obligations?" "Natalie, we must repay our parents for raising us!""If such filial piety means using Lucas' life and body as a bargaining chip, I would rather be seen as heartless and unfilial. Unfortunately, you dare not spread the word about our disloyalty and unfilial behavior, as it would also bring disgrace upon your reputation. Many people initially thought we, siblings, were the children of the Watson family servants." Natalie said angrily.Sitting in the aerial garden on the second floor, Natalie basked in the warm autumn sunshine, lis
In the end, shame prevailed. Being able to resist wearing her usual conservative sleepwear was already quite difficult, so she put on a silk sundress. The watermelon-red sleep gown, worn against her naturally fair skin, became even more enticing.Oliver had a good sense of aesthetics, but he always felt that girls would like pink. Most of the clothes he chose for her were in shades of pink and red, mostly dresses.Natalie made all the preparations and sat on the bed, waiting for Oliver.Lately, he seemed unusually busy and hadn't returned to the room. Natalie waited and waited until she fell asleep, only to wake up at 2:18 in the morning.Oliver still hadn't returned.Natalie threw on a robe and went out. When she arrived at the study, the study doors were open, and it was pitch black inside with no one around.Oliver wasn't there.Did he go out?Natalie was puzzled. Just as she was about to go back to her room, she noticed a faint light coming from the kitchen downstairs, along with
