Natalie frowned.Was he not going back to the office?For the past few days, he had been staying at the office, so she assumed that he would go there again today.As expected, this guy would never follow the usual routine."Let's go. I'll go back with you," Henry said, glancing at her before walking ahead.At the hospital, after nearly a week of recuperation, Juliet had improved a lot.Although the doctor advised her to stay for another week, she insisted on being discharged.She told Stanley that staying any longer would drive her crazy, and she wanted to leave.Stanley, feeling sorry for her, agreed to everything she wanted.When Stanley went to handle her discharge procedures, Juliet waited on one of the chairs in the lobby.She glanced at the fixed steel plate on her fingers.Just a couple of days ago, she had undergone surgery to insert a steel plate into several fractured fingers.However, at this point, it was uncertain to what extent her fingers would recover. She d
Natalie's immediate reaction was to look at Henry. She knew that these things would trigger him."You can tell that Mr. Chase Senior is looking forward to the arrival of this little one. I took a quick look, and he has prepared everything," Amos said with a smile.Henry, however, suddenly spoke in a cold tone, "What's there to look forward to? Put all these things in the storage room for now! Without my orders, no one is allowed to bring these things in!"With that, he walked upstairs with a stern face, leaving an intimidating figure.Amos was accustomed to Henry's unpredictable moods, but he couldn't understand why Owen's purchase of these items touched on Henry's sensitive nerve.He couldn't help but look at Natalie with puzzlement. "Mrs. Chase, is Mr. Chase … Should we just put these things in storage?"Natalie felt uneasy. After all, these items were intentionally sent by Owen.Just stashing them away in the storage room felt like wasting Owen's heartfelt gesture, creating a
"What's there to say? He helped me, so I'm buying him a gift. Isn't that a perfectly normal thing to do? "You can give gifts to so many women, but I can't give Sheldon a token of appreciation?" Natalie retorted nonchalantly."What kind of gift are you giving? Does the baby in your belly count as a gift?" Henry stared at her intently.If this baby weren't dealt with soon, he might go insane.He had to admit that he was extremely bothered by the presence of this baby."You're crazy! Insane!" Natalie shot him a disdainful glance, unwilling to argue further.Henry gripped her shoulders forcefully, locking eyes with her. He questioned with deliberate emphasis, "Whose baby is this? Whose is it?""Do you dare to swear on the person you care about the most that you don't know who the father of this baby is?"After the interrogation, he did not shift his gaze for a moment, keeping a steady and unwavering stare at her because he was afraid of missing any crucial expressions on her fac
The few people who could gain Natalie's trust and make her speak her mind were scarce.And these people couldn't possibly help him coax words out of Natalie.It seemed like he had to come up with another way for this matter.Leonard, not getting an answer from Henry, teased, "What's this? Feeling uncomfortable? "Can't sleep at night? I never thought there would be a day when Natalie would torment you like this.""Get lost! Me losing sleep because of her? That's impossible!" Henry hung up in frustration. But in reality, he did have insomnia that night.The next day, he came out with heavy dark circles under his eyes.Amos's first words upon seeing him were, "Mr. Chase, did you work through the night again?"Henry glanced at Natalie, who was sitting at the dining table having a meal.She seemed to have slept quite well, with a rosy complexion and a lively spirit."Hmm," he casually responded and then walked over to the dining table.Just as he sat down, Natalie wiped her mo
Sensing that he might have misspoken, Sheldon quickly explained."Sorry, I might not have slept well these days. My mind is a bit unclear. Even my mouth is a bit uncontrollable."Natalie still convinced herself with the same reasoning.He might have just casually said it like it was a gentle banter between friends.She didn't need to overinterpret these things.Natalie's mouth twitched, having figured it out. "It's okay.""Come with me. I'll take you somewhere." With that, Sheldon had already stepped outside his office. Natalie didn't ask much and obediently followed Sheldon.Sheldon led her a few steps and arrived at another office."Go in and take a look.""Hmm?""I asked you to go in and take a look." Sheldon continued to smile mysteriously.Natalie, still puzzled, scrutinized him but eventually reached out and turned the doorknob.As the door opened, she discovered that it was an empty office."What is this?""The company will arrange for someone to decorate and set
Natalie felt a surge of frustration upon hearing this.She turned slightly, furrowing her brows as she looked at him. "Just took it casually? Did you even bother to ask for my opinion? Why is it that every time you make decisions on your own? Are my thoughts so insignificant to you?"Henry glanced at her, perpetually wearing that disdainful expression."Yeah."Natalie became even more infuriated. She turned away decisively. "I won't do it! I don't care what kind of program it is. If you want to record it, go ahead and do it yourself.""It's a couples' program, interview style. The host will ask you, as well as me, some questions. Just go with the flow," Henry finally explained the details of the program.However, he merely provided an overview of the program he had taken on, not taking Natalie's attitude into serious consideration.Natalie coldly smiled. "What, performing in front of reporters isn't enough? Now you want to act in front of such a large audience?""It's just
She let Juliet in?Since she had spoken those words, Henry didn't intervene and sat quietly as if he were an outsider.After a short while, the staff escorted Juliet in.After the car accident, Juliet looked noticeably thinner, and her face carried a weary expression.Of course, the accident was one reason. The setbacks in her career and personal life also had a significant impact.Juliet's arrival drew the attention of all the staff present.Although no one dared to openly discuss it, they exchanged furtive glances. Those glances seemed to convey, "Here comes the excitement!"Juliet walked straight up to Henry, speaking with a humble tone, "I heard you were coming here to record a show, so I came over."Natalie watched Juliet from start to finish with a gaze that seemed to enjoy the spectacle.Juliet saw her but deliberately avoided making eye contact. It seemed Juliet was quite arrogant.Henry looked at Juliet indifferently, his voice devoid of any emotion. "Why are you h
Natalie's eyes widened into the size of saucers.Although this wasn't the first time Henry had kissed her in anger, such intimate interactions between them were rare. Natalie couldn't help but feel disoriented from it.When Natalie came back to her senses, she began to struggle, but Henry firmly held her hands, leaving her with no room to resist.His kiss lacked any tenderness. It was more of an expression of anger. Natalie could even feel her lips aching from the force.Perhaps sensing that she was about to bite him, Henry quickly let her go. Not only that, but he also gave her a punishing bite, causing a sharp pain at the corner of her lips.Although Henry released her, the anger on his face hadn't dissipated. "Don't get smart with me, Natalie! There are things you simply wouldn't understand!"Natalie was breathless from the kiss and gasped for air. She slowly touched her lips before a self-deprecating smile slit across her face. "Of course, I wouldn't know what hap
