"How old is your cousin?" Natalie asked.
Oliver flipped over, pressing Natalie beneath him, his strong legs holding her legs tightly, preventing her from moving.He raised an eyebrow. The impatience from earlier had vanished, but powerful and inexpressible emotions surged within.It was passion."We can do something else," he said, his voice trailing off as he lowered his head and nibbled on Natalie's lips.Natalie shook her head incessantly. "No, we can't. Tomorrow, I'll meet your cousin. It won't be good if she finds out!"Oliver sealed her lips with a kiss, letting his actions speak louder than words.Although Oliver didn't exert himself that much last night, there were still quite a few marks on her body.The next day, Natalie yawned as she picked out her clothes. Thankfully, it was late autumn, and there were plenty of high-collared clothes to cover up properly."She understands, so why bother covering up?" Oliver rested one leg on the door fLilian investigated this Watson family daughter through various means, and all she found were negative opinions. This negative image in her mind was much deeper than her idol Natalie's.Her idol and the detestable sister-in-law turned out to be the same person. It was simply unbearable!Natalie held the pineapple pie in her hands and took a step forward."Don't come over here!" Lilian pointed at Natalie as if she was a source of plague, as if she was facing a formidable enemy.Natalie paused. Her expression was indifferent, and her heart felt numb.She had never thought that she could satisfy Oliver's family members, but she also never expected it to be so terrible. What made it even worse was that this person was Lilian, her assistant."I told you not to come over here! I don't want to be with you! Natalie, you deceived me!" Lilian pouted, tears welled up in her eyes. Coupled with her doll-like face, she looked even more like a middle school student.Whe
A restrained smile appeared in her eyes.Lilian keenly noticed that her picky cousin had actually touched the three dishes in front of him—stewed chicken soup, lasagna, and pan-seared salmon. They didn't seem as exquisite and elegant as the other dishes.Could it be that those unattractive dishes tasted better?It must be, otherwise how did her cousin, who had anorexia, enjoy them so much?Lilian's fork was about to reach out when Oliver knocked it away."Natalie made this,” Oliver said with a calm expression.In other words, she couldn't eat it."But... Whatever. It doesn't seem very delicious anyway. I don't care!" Lilian was feeling down and reluctantly ate other dishes, but every time she saw her cousin pick up his fork to eat the dishes made by Natalie, her eyes couldn't help but look over uncontrollably.Who knows, maybe those dishes are really delicious?Lilian finally experienced the saying "the grass is always greener on the other side.”
Oliver lowered his gaze, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth.Natalie didn't mention sending Lilian back to her country, but she did remind Liam to take Lilian back to her place.Lilian glanced at Natalie a few times, feeling uncomfortable about giving in to Natalie earlier. She decided to leave and asked Uncle Liam to send her back.As Oliver had always doted on Lilian since she was young, Liam arranged for Jamie to accompany Lilian.Natalie found Jamie in advance and gave him a few instructions.Lilian could see from a distance that Jamie was nodding repeatedly in compliance with Natalie's words."What did she say just now? Was she badmouthing me?" Lilian couldn't wait and asked Jamie as soon as they got in the car.Jamie told the truth, "Lady asked me to find you another, safer place to live. Although the apartment you're currently staying in has a good environment, the security measures are not very sound. And Lady wants to provide you w
"I think Lilian is good. If she's willing to stay, let's use her. Actually, what Lilian said is not wrong," Natalie said."Hmm?" Oliver turned his head to look at her."In the eyes of many people, I'm really not worthy of you. Background, status, and in the future, even capability will be added to the list. Lilian's dissatisfaction with me is a normal expression, and I can understand that. From the perspective of an onlooker, I would think the same way." However, that's not what Natalie really felt. She couldn't choose her background. Oliver was excellent and exceptionally powerful, but she could only be the best version of herself. So she would not feel inferior, let alone belittle herself.After Natalie finished speaking, she felt the oppressive aura around the man holding her, a chilling atmosphere enveloping them.She turned her head and met Oliver's cold eyes."Natalie, do you want to divorce me?" Oliver asked. Not waiting for Natalie's response, he con
Having served Oliver for so many years, Arvin had never seen Oliver show any vulnerabilities before.Natalie had delicate features and good skin, so she didn't need much makeup. Arvin just outlined her features slightly and matched it with a dress in a coordinating color.After finishing the phone call, Oliver returned while Natalie was already prepared.It was an enchanting gown, and Natalie looked like a beauty stepping out of a painting, nothing short of breathtaking.With only a silver diamond-studded ribbon as a hair accessory, she exuded beauty and elegance.Oliver's gaze lingered on Natalie for several seconds before casually nodding, "Let's go."Arvin suppressed a smile. He knew Mr. Windsor would definitely be pleased!For other women, it would already be good enough if Mr. Windsor spared them even half a glance!At the same time, Natalie discreetly observed Oliver.He was dressed in a black suit today, and upon close inspection, one could
Although Natalie's deductions were not fully mature or comprehensive, they were entirely correct. Pausing for a moment, Natalie looked up and assessed Oliver. "Please, go on," Oliver encouraged her.Natalie breathed a sigh of relief, knowing she hadn't said anything wrong. "Actually, I'm almost finished. The last point is that although the Windsor Group is your family's, your father may not necessarily hand over this lucrative opportunity to you, so there is no need to pay him any attention. Um... that's all, really. I was just rambling.""Not bad," Oliver complimented as Natalie settled onto his lap. "Where did you learn all this?" His woman was indeed intelligent! Oliver leaned in and planted a kiss on Natalie's lips. "I picked up some things when I used to do part-time translation work," Natalie replied. She had earned some money as a translator for a large corporation, which provided her with exposure to certain industry information. Coupled with her
"Did you see that? The woman in the red dress up ahead is Adrian's new woman, carrying the Harrington family's child!""It's the fault of the Harrington family. There is no need to break off the engagement just because there's a woman outside who got pregnant. In the end, it's just because they look down on Hailey's reputation. Adrian himself isn't any better.""I heard that Hailey couldn't bear it and almost caused that mistress to have a miscarriage. And Hailey almost killed someone!""Kill someone? Who?""I'm not sure, it's just something I heard.""Edwin, what are you doing?!" Henry's face turned ugly. He hadn't paid much attention to his second son's potential companions, but he never expected him to bring Hailey back!"Dad, I brought her here just out of pity for Miss Watson. She wanted to meet..." Edwin explained, glancing at Adrian.Adrian and Victoria looked extremely displeased."Adrian, I haven't done anything wrong. Why don't you want me a
Oliver appeared relaxed, but in reality, his nerves were strained. Natalie was truly afraid that Henry would say something disgusting and provoke Oliver to pull out his gun and shoot Henry the next second.Such a thing couldn't be done in front of so many people.Oliver continued to look at Henry. At the same time, he flipped his wrist and held Natalie's soft hand in his palm, providing her with enough comfort. "Father, the lives taken by this knife are more than one, and they are all related to you. Do you remember? If you've become too old to remember, let me remind you.""Shut up! I don't want you to remind me! Shut up!" Henry's eyes widened in anger, devoid of any grace.The guests were startled. Henry looked like a madman in this state.The more he acted like this, the more it indicated that there was a problem.When Hillary passed away, it was announced to the public that she died of illness. Less than a month after Hillary's death, Victoria's moth
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
