Notice Me, Darling! Chapter 165 I’m Her Support
"Ms. Shepherd," Wade greeted politely before saying anything else.Natalie calmly hummed in response.He continued formally, "I'm calling to inform you that you'll be liaising with me regarding the design for that plot of land hereon. For the time being, Mr. Chase will be busy preparing for his marriage."Upon hearing that, she felt a greater sense of reality that Henry was getting married soon.Before this, he had had many scandals with various women, but those scandals were all proven false. It was different this time.Still, whether it was true or not, what did it have to do with her?So, almost immediately, she nonchalantly replied, "Sure. I'll contact you after I've completed the draft.""Alright. I shall not take up too much of your time. Goodbye." With that, Wade ended the call. He was actually in Henry's office then.During the call, he had turned on the speaker, so Henry heard every word Natalie had to say. He noticed the gloomy expression Henry wore.Leonard, sitting
Notice Me, Darling! Chapter 166 Stop Mentioning What You’ve Done for Me
"I'm actually already used to their scornful remarks. I just can't tolerate it when they target my innocent father." Natalie couldn't help but feel her temper rising whenever she recalled their sarcastic comments.At the same time, she blamed herself for it.She really wanted to overturn the verdict Daniel received, but he never agreed and always refused to bring up the incident. Now that he was gone, she was even more clueless about how to go about it."Don't take their words to heart, and don't let insignificant news get to you." Sheldon locked his gaze on her face.He was worried that the news published in the morning would affect her. So, when he saw her heading to the break room, he followed.He didn't expect to overhear that conversation.Natalie got the hint and smiled slightly. "Don't worry. I won't let it affect my mood.""That's great, then." He smiled."Oh, right. You helped me, and I promised to treat you to a meal previously. Why don't I buy you dinner tonight?
Notice Me, Darling! Chapter 167 You're Taking This Joke Too Far
Natalie returned to her senses and immediately masked her wavering emotions. "It's nothing. But yeah, I know how to cycle."Sheldon smiled faintly. "The sunset seems glorious today. Why don't we cycle over there? The restaurant isn't too far away.""Sure, let's do it," she agreed to his suggestion.Amid the hustle and bustle of city life, it was alright to slow down occasionally and enjoy life, right?"Alright, now let's go get ourselves two bikes."With that, he crossed to the opposite side of the road where they rented their bikes.Natalie cycled behind him. On the way, they idly chatted while cycling.It brought a satisfied smile to Sheldon's lips. He really hoped she would be there with him in times to come.The restaurant he was taking her to was indeed nearby. It took them slightly over ten minutes to reach by cycling.Upon reaching the restaurant, Natalie realized there were no other customers.Sheldon seemed to notice her confusion. "I reserved the entire place.""Yo
Notice Me, Darling! Chapter 168 She Is Quite the Silly Goose
Natalie didn't hold it against him. Instead, she solemnly commented, "The song you wrote was beautiful, and the lyrics clearly expressed your sincerity, too."You wrote it for her, didn't you? Then you must sing it for her personally. I think she'll understand your feelings.""You think so? She's … actually quite the silly goose." He smiled bitterly.He wrote down their past together in those lyrics, yet Natalie evidently didn't remember any of that.But it made sense, though. She was only eight or nine years old then."How would you know if you never tried?" She pumped her fist and encouraged him, "All the best!"He merely smiled and ended the topic there. "Let's continue our dinner."After dinner, they cycled back to the company and parted ways in their respective cars.Natalie received a call from the police once she reached the hotel where she was staying.The fire originated from her unit, so the police had called her once before to gather more details. They also said the
Notice Me, Darling! Chapter 169 He Was Worth Less Than a Check
Jennifer laughed inwardly as she pretentiously spoke up for Natalie. "Henry, you should let her continue being in charge. It's just a project …"Henry lowered his eyes to look at her. His tone softened as he said, "If I do that, it might lead to wild speculations from others. "Now that I'm marrying you, I'll ensure you don't feel upset in any way."Jennifer was naturally delighted when she heard him saying that.She knew the complete change in his attitude was only due to his need to cooperate with Cliff. From there, he could then find out where Owen was.However, she was satisfied with that. She believed Henry would discover her merits, and they would grow closer as time passed.On the other hand, Natalie burst out laughing upon listening to her.She didn't hold back on her sarcasm as she remarked, "It seems Mr. Chase is truly a romantic. It would be immature of me if I rejected your decision."Henry looked coolly at her and pulled out a check from his pocket.He handed it t
Notice Me, Darling! Chapter 170 The Two Figures in the Photos
The house was near the night market, and it was a lively area at night. It was also well-equipped.Natalie probably didn't know it, but Sheldon was the one who found her that house.It wasn't only convenient in terms of transport but was also quite close to Dawn Corporation.However, he feared she wouldn't accept his kindness if he were too direct, so he had Leslie take over.As for the items in the house, Sheldon was also the one who got someone to prepare them beforehand.He heard about the fire, too, and the news left him feeling fearful.So, he also arranged for bodyguards to stay close to Natalie. They would be watching out for her safety without her knowing.As much as Sheldon had done for her, he didn't think she had to know. From his point of view, it was worth it as long as Natalie could live more comfortably because of his arrangements.Leslie hung around for a while before leaving.Natalie felt bored being all by herself. She recalled the photography studio being
Notice Me, Darling! Chapter 171 You Will Be His Wife One Day
"Oh, what do you have in mind?" asked Natalie with a smile. "Can you invite Sir to my birthday party?" asked Felix with a cheeky smile.Natalie was startled. She knew that the "Sir" he was referring to was Henry."Why do you want to invite him …" She forced a smile and tried to act natural."You two are a thing, aren't you? So you should come with him," said Felix innocently."We're not really … a thing," replied Natalie, looking embarrassed.Natalie wondered if all kids were so precocious nowadays. The boy was only a few years old, but he already knew what 'a thing' meant."You're not?" Felix was confused. "But Sir told me that you'll be his wife one day."Felix might be young, but he could still understand the implications of Henry's words."When did he tell you that?" Natalie was startled again."Do you remember when you gave my mom a call back at the hospital? That's when he told me," answered Felix honestly.Natalie had mixed feelings about this.How could Henry say s
Notice Me, Darling! Chapter 172 Is It Necessary to Show So Much Skin
The sales associate was startled by Jennifer's question. Only then was she aware that they knew each other."I don't think we're on friendly terms that we'd greet each other," replied Natalie straightforwardly.She never was the kind of woman who worked to please others."Ignore her, Natalie. Let's go try on the gown," said Leslie as she gave Jeniffer a look."So what if she's marrying a scumbag? This woman seriously thinks that she hit the jackpot or something?" thought Leslie."Can you take a look at this gown for me, Ms. Shepherd? I need a little advice," said Jennifer.She walked to Natalie while holding up the hem of her wedding gown. The smile on her face didn't seem friendly at all.Before Natalie could respond, Jennifer suddenly realized something and said, "Oh, I almost forgot."You didn't have a wedding when you married Henry, so you've never worn a wedding gown before! Sorry that I asked."Although Jennifer was smiling as she spoke, even the sales associate who was

It was Henry's idea.

And fortunately, he still had the opportunity to make different choices and correct his past mistakes. …When Natalie walked out of the Yoder residence, she headed straight to the car parked at the gate.She reached out to open the door, but she realized that she couldn't even grip the handle.But this wasn't the first time such a thing had happened.Whenever she tried to pick up a bowl, it would slip from her fingers and shatter on the floor.Whenever she attempted to hold a pen to sign documents, she could barely steady it, resulting in a signature that looked like gibberish.She found herself unable to perform even the simplest of tasks, and much less when it came to lifting heavy objects.Although Henry had been reassur
Notice Me, Darling! Chapter 574 I Harbor No Resentment Toward Anyone
Natalie didn't know how to respond to such a subject.Though she didn't harbor any resentment toward Celine, it was quite impossible for her to see Celine as importantly as she did Yvonne. Celine might be her biological mother, but she was still like a stranger to her—especially after years of separation.…With Natalie's intervention, the shareholders of the Yoder Group finally calmed down.However, it wasn't because they weren't wary of her identity as Shane Yoder's daughter, but rather, it was because of her identity as Henry Chase's wife.Offending her would also mean offending Henry Chase, and they certainly wanted to avoid that at all costs. Shortly after the chaos at the Yoder Group subsided, Shane finally regained consciousness.The moment he woke up, all he saw was Jonah busy taking care of him.Just then, Jonah was walking toward Shane with a wet towel in hand.

Leonard looked up in surprise and saw that Rachel was angrily storming toward him.Apparently, she was the one who had thrown the book at him."Ra-Rachel, what's the matter?"

However, Celine wasn't aware that when she'd quickly run off, Henry had shown up at the other end of the hallway.Although Celine was quite far away, Henry could still tell that it was her.When Henry saw her, he briefly paused at wheeling himself. It was only when Celine's figure completely vanished at the elevator that he wheeled himself into Natalie's ward.He had just finished speaking with the doctor in his office regarding Natalie's condition. The doctor informed him that Natalie might not be able to hold pens for some time. And even if Natalie was able to take care of herself in the later stages of recovery, her hands might not be as agile as before. This news would undoubtedly be devastating to a designer who relied on her hands to draw sketches.On his way back to the ward, Henry had pondered how he should break the news to Natalie. However, he couldn't find an answer.As he entered the ward and wheeled himself to the side of Natalie's bed, he gazed at her with a

Lavender's gaze lifted to Jonah's well-defined jawline.Jonah's eyes were notably luminous too, just like they were in their past.Lavender had always been captivated by Jonah's eyes. They shone so brightly and clearly, like stars that were her guiding light.With the microphone in hand, Jonah surveyed the audience before commencing his address, "As you've all witnessed through those images… The past three years have been exceedingly difficult for me. "Throughout that period, I was unaware of the extent of the disgraceful actions I'd committed, nor can I fully comprehend the turmoil those close to me have endured on my behalf. "Yet, if there's one aspect of which I'm absolutely certain…"Jonah's gaze tenderly met Lavender's as he continued, "The woman standing beside me has truly done so much for me.
