Natalie breathe heavily as the oxygen rushed back into her lungs.Oliver looked at her intently while his arm supported her body."...Good, I, I will try to like you, to fall in love with you." Natalie compromised, afraid that he would suddenly kiss her forcefully again.Well, those words could simply be a form of lip service right?The reason for being good someone with all your heart and soul could simply be due to duty, commitment, or gratitude.But to love someone with all your heart and soul was akin to digging your own grave.Oliver pressed his body against Natalie, sandwiching her between himself and the car.Natalie squirmed her body that was in discomfort in resistance, recalling her previous experiences and thinking that it was better to temporarily obey a dominant man like Oliver."Do you have any requests for me?" Oliver rubbed her lip corner with his thumb."I can have requests for you?" Natalie couldn't help but be surprised."Hmm."Natalie pondered, "Can you allow me to
The delicate and soft little hand of Natalie patting his face was being accompanied by her soft voice with a touch of crying, sounding unusually sweet.Oliver was conscious momentarily, but he closed his eyes to rest due to the intense pain and exhaustion. Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes, he saw a woman with red eyes looking at him.Tears filled her eyes. The instant Oliver opened his eyes, Natalie gave a smile but her tears fell onto his lips.He licked his lips. Although it tasted salty, there was also an indescribable feeling."Aren't we escaping? What if that person catches up to us?" Oliver asked in a weak tone.Natalie hadn't taken into consideration of the impact her answer would have on Oliver and asked blatantly "If I leave, then what about you?"Oliver's heart collapsed like a landslide, completely softening him.This was an unexpected joy for Oliver as he did not expect to be blessed during a calamity. Oliver, in his weaken state from being shot and suffering injur
A killer from the DIE organization revealed your target, but that killer was a new hire at the organization. When Oliver came out of the bar last night without his bodyguards, he decided to take action.Natalie had unintentionally gotten involved because of Oliver. If Wyatt and Isaac hadn't suddenly called Natalie out last night, she wouldn't have experienced those terrifying things.Thinking of this, Wyatt nervously touched his nose."Brother, few people know about your identity as the CEO of the RK Group, and practically no one knows your appearance as Mr. Windsor. If someone wants to kill you, it's probably an insider leaking information," Isaac analyzed."We had a few suspects previously, go investigate," Oliver's voice was as cold as ice shards as he said this, with a hint of anger.Someone had disgustingly betrayed us!"Alright." This is usually Wyatt's task, and Wyatt continued, "Brother, there's something strange about this. After the incident, the leader of the DIE organizat
Natalie pretended to turn around to search for the person who was stalking her multiple times but did not find anyone suspicious in the crowd.Could it be her own imagination?Or... was the person too good at hiding?After experiencing a life and death situation last night, Natalie became much more alert.It is better to be safe than sorry.She deliberately walked to the area with the refrigerators, trying to observe if there was anyone suspicious behind her using the mirrored surface of the refrigerator.However, she was unsuccessful again."Be careful! Goods coming through, watch out!"A supermarket staff member came out of the employee channel, holding a stack of crates that were almost two meters high.Natalie was about to move to the side to make way for the crates when, unexpectedly, two young lovers who were playfully fighting behind her didn't notice and pushed her into the middle of the aisle.As the shelves were too high, the workers pushing the crates couldn't see Natalie s
Roger Wild's smile remained, enchanting like a cactus flower, captivatingly alluring.She claimed that she was only loyal to her marriage, not to her husband or love.Indeed, she married Oliver not out of love.She had the chance to ask him to take her away, but she refused.Is this delicate and fragile woman the one my little brother adored to the core?Unfortunately, my little brother, the woman you once longed for is now someone else's wife.It was a coincidence that he found Natalie at the hospital that day.When he saw her face, he had doubts. After all, he had only seen her once when Roger Wild died - the slender and frail woman who repeatedly sneaked to that forbidden cliff, as if refusing to believe that Roger Wild had fallen.It wasn't until she asked for her brother's name that he knew he hadn't been mistaken.Since his brother's death, he had been living in this world as Roger Wild.If she despised his help, then so be it. The D organization can simply refuse any assassinat
The beef needed to be stewed over low heat for a long time. The sliced onions were added ten minutes before it was done. The soup is ideally meant to be enjoyed in the afternoon. The soup emitted a rich aroma as it was brought into the ward.Rosy May and Wyatt happened to be in the room.Rosy May asked Wyatt in a low voice, "Has brother's anorexia improved?"Wyatt shook his head, "It seems like he only likes to eat the dishes made by his sister-in-law.""Oh, showing affection, huh?" Rosy May teased, rubbing imaginary chicken skin bumps on herself.Wyatt rolled his eyes at this drama queen.Natalie opened the small table attached to the hospital bed and placed the food on it one by one.Oliver frowned, "Woman, you're spoiling me too much.""What did you make for breakfast? It's so light."After spending some time together, Natalie had a sense of Oliver's preferences. He liked heavily seasoned dishes like braised and spicy food. However, Natalie avoided cooking those types of food as
"Brother, sister-in-law, Rosy May and I can go get the vegetables ourselves!" Wyatt immediately stood up and pulled Rosy May away.It's a good thing that they left as it reduced the awkwardness of being watched by others.However, Natalie couldn't relax at all. The pressure she received by being alone in the ward with Oliver, was even more intense."Would you like to have some porridge first? It's good for your health."Natalie asked in a dry tone, and when he didn't object, she put down the chopsticks and the empty bowl, picked up the bowl of porridge, and stirred it with a spoon.The aromatic mushrooms and the fragrance of chicken blended in the fragrant rice, was accompanied by waves of steam.Natalie scooped up a spoonful of rice and blew on it, before bringing it to Oliver's lips.As she raised her head, she unexpectedly met his intense gaze.Oliver still had the image in his mind, the woman pouting her rosy lips, exhaling gently, reminiscent of the most delicious cherries, h
As a matter of fact, Natalie's French was excellent.When she spoke, it had an authentic Parisian accent.There has always been a saying that French is the most romantic language in the world but it is difficult to master its pronunciation, and many people do not have the opportunity to learn it.It wasn't until this moment that Oliver agreed with this statement.He had never heard anyone speak French so gently and nobly before. Each word she spoke sounded like a melodic song, turning the stiff contractual documents into poetry."Um, brother, I don't recognize this word," he said.The woman's voice suddenly paused."Inflation incontrollable, uncontrollable inflation," Oliver repeated once, then explained.Such specialized vocabulary was not usual.Natalie blinked and was shocked by what she heard.He spoke French... and it sounded so good!"How long have you been learning French?" Oliver asked curiously."Well..." Natalie thought for a moment. "I became interested in it during middle
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
