After putting on the ring on her, Calvin looked at Natalie tenderly.Natalie, who had just realized what was happening, looked at the ring on her finger. She couldn't say another word of refusal.Did this mean she agreed?Natalie was bewildered. She even felt a bit unreal.Was she really off the market now? Did this mean she wouldn't be alone in anything from now on?She was lost in thought. Calvin lifted his hand and gently caressed her neck, his handsome face slowly approaching hers.Natalie raised her eyes to look at him. Seeing him getting closer to her, she surprisingly didn't want to avoid him.Natalie knew what he was going to do. She even cooperatively closed her eyes.Her cooperation made Calvin ecstatic.But just as their lips were about to touch, Natalie's phone rang. The sound broke the slight tension that had just arisen between the two.Blushing, Natalie shyly avoided the man's lips and took out her phone from her bag.Seeing that it was a call from Gabriel, he
On this night, Natalie also felt deeply happy.Calvin had been by her side all day long. He behaved like a gentleman, and considered everything for her. He took her to eat delicious food and to have fun.Growing up, Natalie had never known that life could be so carefree and relaxed. Even though she was approaching thirty, she could still be as happy as a child.At night, the two of them had a candlelight dinner together and chose to stay overnight at a nearby five-star hotel.Little did they know that just after entering the hotel gate, not far away by the roadside, the man in the car had a fierce and twisted expression in his eyes.He clenched the steering wheel tightly, his fingertips almost digging into it.Inside his chest, it felt like there was a heavy boulder pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.Gabriel had followed them the whole day.He had always believed that Natalie still harbored feelings for him, otherwise, she wouldn't always be so friendly wh
Natalie, being an experienced person, naturally knew what was on Calvin's mind. Rather than saying he wanted it, it was more accurate to say that she was also anticipating it. After all, at their age, there was no need to be coy about such matters between men and women."Not going is fine," Calvin remained squatting in front of her, gazing at the woman's delicate and fair features, her lips moist and inviting. His prominent Adam's apple rolled sexily as he admitted to himself that he was getting restless. His heart, too, was stirring. However, he lacked experience. He didn't know how to proceed.Natalie also looked at him. Seeing that Calvin seemed like a wooden block, just looking but not moving, she simply lifted her hand and hugged his head. She took the initiative to press her red lips against his. Her initiative gave Calvin great courage. Calvin suddenly stood up, reversing the roles to have her under him. The passionate kiss plunged them both into a fervent embrace. Jus
Gabriel tried to lift his hand again to hold Natalie's hand, but Natalie coldly shook it off. She looked at him coldly and said mercilessly, "Gabriel, face reality. We've been divorced for four years. Please don't interfere in my life or appear in my world."Natalie had completely lost any feelings for this man. The only connection she had with him was that he was the father of her child. That was all. Not all breakups could be reconciled, not all relationships could have a perfect ending. Their marriage had ended tragically, and even if they got back together, they could never return to their original state. How could Natalie be so foolish as to repeat the same mistakes?"Natalie, please don't be like this. I still love you. I've always loved you," Gabriel said, choked with emotion. He lowered his posture and pleaded pitifully, "Give me another chance. I'll listen to you and do whatever you say. Come back to me, don't be with other men, Natalie...""Enough, Gabriel," Natalie
"Stop it, don't fight anymore." Calvin finally stopped and turned to Natalie. He comforted her, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'll call someone to take him away."Natalie looked at the man lying on the ground, bruised and swollen. For some reason, she took out her phone and called his assistant. After making the call, she approached Gabriel and stood in front of him, saying coldly, "Gabriel, listen carefully. I don't love you, and from now on, you're not allowed to appear in front of me ever again. Even if you die for me, I won't look back."With that, she didn't show any nostalgia and turned around. She gestured to Calvin.Calvin threw Gabriel out of the room and closed the door. Gabriel struggled to get up from the corridor. His hands were covered in blood as he pounded on the door, his body weak and in pain. He screamed, "Natalie! Natalie, don't do this! We have a child together, why can't we go back?""Natalie, I was wrong. Give me another chance.""Natalie, I still love you
Calvin didn't want to pressure her. He quickly agreed, "Alright, I'll leave. Don't leave so late at night. I'll send you off tomorrow morning.""Okay," Natalie replied absentmindedly.Seeing her agreement, Calvin didn't dare to make her feel uncomfortable any longer. He quickly left after closing the door behind him.Left alone in the room, Natalie sat back on the sofa, her mind in turmoil. She suddenly didn't know what to do to make everyone alright. She couldn't deny that she liked Calvin, but Gabriel's appearance troubled her. It also made her lose confidence in whether she could continue with Calvin. She was afraid that in the end, everyone would end up wounded, without a perfect ending. She was afraid that Gabriel would harm her child. She was afraid that the Morris family would interfere in her relationship with Calvin. Too many worries made her hesitate, afraid to continue down this path.That night, Nataliecouldn't sleep at all. Before dawn, she quietly packed her t
Their arrival attracted the furious barking of the dogs. Lilac was not afraid of the dogs at all, and she wanted to run over to them. However, the subordinates quickly picked her up. They were worried that the dogs might bite the child, and reassured her, "Miss Lianlian, don't go near the dogs. Dogs might bite people."Only then did Lilac obediently refrain from approaching the dogs.The group arrived at the flat courtyard, searching around but found no signs of anyone nearby. Curtis gestured to his subordinates, "Go knock on the door."The subordinates went to knock on the door, but as before, there was no response. The door remained tightly shut.Returning to report, one of the subordinates said, "Boss, there seems to be no one inside. We've been here before and knocked on the door, but no one answered. We asked the villagers nearby, and they said that the person living here is very strange. It's hard to see his face. He always has disheveled hair and doesn't dress well."Ma
Inside the wooden house… Seeing that the group outside did not leave and even set up camp, Lena had no choice but to turn and enter the house. Passing through two wooden rooms and crossing a long natural corridor, she entered a hidden world within the cave. Inside, the lights were bright, and the sound of spring water echoed. Countless books were piled up in disorder around, and amidst them sat a man with long white hair, shrouding his features. Only a tall nose bridge and moderately thin lips could be vaguely seen beneath his long hair.He sat with a pile of books in his arms, either recording something with a pen or flipping through them. Hearing footsteps, even without seeing the newcomer, he knew the reason.Without waiting for Lena to speak, the man's low and lazy voice echoed, "Don't mind them. A bunch of merchants with nothing but the smell of copper on them. Time is most precious to them. They'll leave on their own in three to five days."Lena nodded, "Yes, Master."L
