Natalie breathed a sigh of relief, pulled up her clothes reluctantly to cover herself, and tentatively asked, "You're the best?"Oliver shook his head."I want to take a bath?" Natalie asked.Oliver continued shaking his head.Natalie thought about her nutrition-less and content-less words from earlier, and the only thing left was the way she addressed him. "Oliver?"The woman looked sincerely anxious, extremely doubtful, and adorable to the extreme.Oliver held Natalie's chin and couldn't help but nibble on her lips. "No.""...Darling?""Good girl.""Ah!" Before Natalie could finish her sentence, Oliver picked her up and walked towards the bathroom, informing her with actions, "You finally got it right!""You go out, I'll wash by myself." Natalie extended her hand to push him away.Oliver prepared the water and stepped into the extra-large bathtub that could accommodate four or five people, saying, "Let's wash together."The night was still long.On the other side, at the ballroom. H
"Good morning, Natalie!" Isaac and Wyatt stood up, smiling mischievously.At this time, Natalie truly realized"I can't say 'morning'."Isaac guessed Natalie's thoughts and smirked, saying, "Natalie, Wyatt and I have something to discuss with brother. We'll be here at eight o'clock, but who would've thought that brother, who usually gets up and showers on time, hasn't left the room today? You guys must have just woken up, so isn't it more appropriate to say 'morning' instead?" She could tell that this guy was intentionally teasing her!Of course, Isaac could guess the reason why brother and his sister-in-law woke up late; he wanted to intentionally playfully provoke his thin-skinned sister-in-law.Wyatt beside him also smiled and said nothing, enjoying the spectacle."He's in the room, just go." Natalie said goodbye to them both as soon as the elevator arrived and went inside.The scenery in the estate was beautiful, and with good lighting today, Natalie casually took a few pictures
Although Susan's manuscripts were not that great, her beauty and renowned talent did not hinder these rich second-generation individuals from spending millions of dollars on something beautiful."Six million dollars!""Six million three hundred thousand dollars!""Seven million dollars!""Fifty million dollars!"Suddenly, a male voice shocked the entire room.All the gazes turned towards the source.Natalie looked at Oliver next to her in astonishment.With a calm demeanor, Oliver lowered his paddle. His expressions were cold and merciless, his gaze as indifferent as ever. He looked at the high-definition images of the manuscript on the screen as if he had carefully considered the astronomical figure he just bid, rather than casually playing around.The paintings on the manuscript were far from mature, and upon closer inspection, there were even flaws in the aesthetics of the human body. These manuscripts were previously rejected publicly. To put it bluntly, they were worthless, yet O
With just a glance, Natalie inexplicably disliked this woman.Could it be because of Hailey's words?If that was the case, then her heart was indeed a bit dark.The sound of water in the bathroom ceased.Natalie quickly turned off her phone and pretended to continue sleeping under the covers.There was a faint halo in the bedroom.Oliver hadn't come to bed yet, and Natalie was unsure whether he was still reading the manuscript or dealing with official matters.She forced herself to clear her mind and fall asleep as soon as possible.This feeling made her uneasy, reminding her of the unreasonable forcefulness she had faced from Oliver over a month ago, when she had prepared to open up to him.And now the situation was even worse, as her emotions were already spiraling out of control.On the other side, the auction manager made an international call, saying, "Susan, your manuscript was won by Mr. Windsor, and it fetched a high price of fifty million dollars! Congratulations!"Susan smil
Natalie was feeling a little annoyed. Ever since she stepped into Rosewood Estate, she knew there were many people who envied the position next to Oliver. Cadence had taught her that lesson.She was fed up with that feeling.Such behavior made women seem like they were born to defend their men, just like...she couldn't find the right adjective.But it didn't make sense to make her life, marriage, and personal life so ugly, right?Natalie and Lucas's own mother were interlopers, but in reality, apart from not having a father since childhood and facing cold eyes after entering the Watson family, she had never experienced the life of a mistress.In her memory, her mother didn't go to the Watson family to destroy Robert and Mrs. Watson's marriage.Watson's feelings had never cost the Watson family a cent, even when he joined the family, Robert took the initiative to bring him in, and by the way, he brought Natalie as a substitute to take care of him.Later on, Natalie learned that the so-
Oliver waited for his wife to come back and cook for him, but the night fell and she still hadn't returned. Seeing her behavior last night was a little unusual, Oliver didn't rush her and let her have some fun outside.It wasn't until 9 o'clock in the evening that Oliver called Natalie several times, but there was no answer.Worried that something had happened to Natalie, Oliver grabbed his coat and hurriedly left, asking about Natalie's whereabouts at the hotel reception. The hotel staff replied that they only saw Mrs. Windsor leave but hadn't seen her return."Mr. Windsor!" Hailey, who had been wandering around the hotel lobby for half an hour, hurriedly ran over, her face filled with anxiety. "Mr. Windsor, I finally caught you. Natalie is at the bar... you should go and check!"Hailey had already learned Oliver's room number, but to avoid appearing too purposeful, she deliberately didn't go up and knock on the door.Seeing Hailey, Oliver frowned in disgust.Thinking that Oliver was
Oliver lowered his gaze. Hailey's timid and coquettish posture, coming to find him under the pretense of worrying about Natalie, was actually meticulously made up and she even wore a low-cut.Leaning in her ultra-short skirt, he took a glance at this spot and caught a glimpse of cleavage.A cold gleam flashed through Oliver's eyes, but he stepped aside to let her in the room.Inside the bar."Natalie, I genuinely want to make things right with you," Adrian whispered in a voice only they could hear, his tone sincere.However, Natalie saw his restlessness in his eyes.He came to find her, definitely not just for a simple chat. His intention wasn't to publicly display any relationship between them either. After all, this scene was chaotic, and no one would take it seriously. It would only become gossip for others during tea time.He must have more ruthless tricks up his sleeve.Regardless of what Adrian said, Natalie refused to respond.Adrian reached for the cocktail she had placed on t
"You're still pretending!" Adrian was so angry that he walked up to Natalie, wanting to grab her collar.Little did he know, before he could approach her, a man who had been standing idle by her side took a step forward, blocking Natalie. The silver mask on his face shimmered in the morning light, revealing a face that was breathtakingly beautiful.His voice, however, was chilly and dangerous, "Adrian, what do you think you're doing?"Adrian licked his lips, took a deep breath, and unwillingly stomped his foot back down.In Adrian’s eyes, Oliver was just a waste.Fearing this waste of a person!Adrian couldn't afford to provoke Oliver, so he pointed at Natalie behind him and angrily exclaimed, "Natalie, it was you who planted a woman in my room. And now you've brought these journalists here. What is your intention?""What do you think my intention is?" Natalie calmly asked. She just wanted to see what crazy and conscience-defying words he could come up wi
