"Now, you'll be slammed with me." Henry's eyes seemed to be smiling.He finally understood how stubborn Natalie was now.Even though she wouldn't admit that she still cared about him, her small actions had said it all."Don't you have anything better to do than sending someone to check out my account?" Natalie felt a bit uncomfortable.How else would Henry know that she was one who wrote that comment?She should have opened a fake account so that he wouldn't have found out it was her."Do I even need to check that out? The profile picture of this account is the same as your profile picture on WhatsApp," Henry said indifferently.Only then did Natalie realize that that was indeed the case. Suddenly, her phone rang.It was from an unknown number, but she answered anyway, "Hello?""Is this Ms. Shepherd? We're calling from Elysian Hospital. We'll be doing Felix Yule's heart transplant surgery at 10 am today. Please get Felix admitted as soon as possible."Natalie was thrilled t
Somewhere deep down, Henry's heart grew tender. Just from watching Natalie interact with Owen, he could sense that she cared for him.He didn't expect her to remember Owen's birthday.As it was, it seemed she had been genuine toward his grandparents. It was just that he had been misjudging her kind intentions with his own petty mindset.Henry gently nodded. "Yeah, his birthday is coming up."He had initially planned to hold a grand birthday banquet to celebrate Owen's 80th birthday. But too many things had happened this year. Moreover, given Owen's current condition, it was also inappropriate to throw a fancy banquet."Then let's come here on his birthday. We'll throw Grandpa a simple celebration." Natalie suggested.Henry's eyes smiled at her words. Yet, he said nothing.Natalie was confused after seeing his reaction. "Why … are you smiling?" She didn't think she said anything wrong."Nothing. I think your idea is splendid." Henry nodded reassuringly.He was pleased when
Shirley's question caught Harry off guard, and he looked uneasy for a brief moment."He's the child of a friend of mine. Life has been tough for them because they had no one else to depend on in this city. So, I thought I should help."Shirley looked at him in confusion. "Which friend? Have we met?""No, you haven't," Harry replied casually. He fervently hoped they could get over this topic quickly."Then, should I visit that child? That's your friend's child, after all. What do you think?" Shirley asked.Harry wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "It's fine. We'll think about that later. Oh, right. Let's go shopping for new clothes. The shops we frequent are launching new items.""Sure!" Shirley didn't resist as Harry led her away, distracted by what he'd said. …Meanwhile, Henry was outside Blue Ocean Group's office building. He was surrounded by bodyguards as usual when he was about to go in.Although it was initially uneventful at the entrance, a group of people suddenly
Natalie's expression wavered, but she sounded calm as she responded with a hum.She would never tell Henry how many times she had practiced putting on a tie before the mirror.She knew that Henry was meticulous, so she had practiced until she was very familiar with the steps. It was so that she could put it on for him every morning in the future.But reality proved to her that her fantasy was overly ideal. Henry had barely slept at home, and she never had the chance to put his tie on for him.It never occurred to her that she could put on the tie for him now that they were divorced."Did they do anything else to you besides hurling stuff at you?" After adjusting his necktie, she asked with deliberate casualness.Even though she was doing her best to conceal her emotions, Henry detected a hint of concern in her tone. "Are you concerned about me?""I'm just asking. Don't overanalyze it—""If you're worried something unfortunate will happen to me, you can tag along wherever I
Everyone in the restaurant instinctively turned to look toward the commotion, including Natalie and Henry.However, what happened next was beyond everyone's imagination.Those people charged toward the stage where Sheldon was. They had come in a large group and were intimidating.Natalie was puzzled. They called for "Gerald Cook" though. Why would they head toward Sheldon if it was "Gerald" they were looking for?Upon seeing that, Sheldon's first reaction was to cast the guitar aside and flee.However, the mob didn't even give him the chance to do that and captured him within the blink of an eye.The one in the lead kept scolding, "Going somewhere? Trying to flee when you owe me money? Where the hell do you think you're going?"You owe me one million dollars! When are you going to pay me back?"The restaurant manager took in the situation and tried to approach them. However, he gave up on that notion when the same man shot him a glare.There was no way the restaurant would
After returning to their seats, Natalie phoned Sheldon. However, no one answered the phone.Henry felt even less interested in the food upon seeing Natalie's deep frown. "Do you need me to look into it?"If they investigated this matter, they might discover something in no time. Surprised, Natalie looked at him. "You're helping me to investigate this?""You'll keep thinking about that guy as long as you don't have the answer, won't you?" Henry said while rolling his eyes at her.He'd rather get to the bottom of it than let that happen. That way, it would put her at ease."Thanks for the help, then!" Natalie smiled at him.She actually smiled. It was one of the few times she'd smiled recently.It suddenly occurred to Henry that doing things like this was no big deal as long as he could make her happy.Before this, he couldn't understand those who chose to compromise just because they liked someone. But now, he seemed to have understood.Sheldon's matter weighed on Natalie f
Fiona scolded, "Are you trying to manipulate the truth? I saw with my own eyes that you were the one who pushed Harpy!"Oh, Les. Harpy's your only sister. How can you dislike her so much?"After rebuking Leslie, Fiona turned to Harper and expressed her concern. "Are you injured, hm? Do you feel any discomfort?"Harper still looked frail. She simply shook her head and didn't explain anything. She merely said, "Mom, Don't blame Les."Leslie rolled her eyes, finally seeing Harper's true colors.Her only thought was that Hugh truly lacked a discerning eye. He was thoroughly deceived by such a pretentious woman.But perhaps it was women like Harper who could trigger a man's desire to protect more than any other woman.Fiona didn't plan on letting this slide. So she let Hugh make the judgment. "Hugh, why don't you tell us what you think?"Leslie lifted the corner of her lips in disdain. "Why do we need his opinion? Do I have to apologize if he says I'm wrong? He doesn't carry that mu
Natalie looked up and saw a woman in a bright yellow dress. She dashed toward Henry and hugged him as though no one else was around.Henry didn't resist her at all. On the contrary, his smile widened. "You're back earlier than expected. Why didn't you tell me? I would've picked you up from the airport."Even though they were quite far away, Natalie could still hear them talking. She somehow felt dejected.Even if Henry had been really nice to her recently, it'd be tough to get him to focus on her alone, wouldn't it?For all she knew, there might be other women out there with whom he was intimate with."It was a surprise! You specially requested me to return, so of course I got on a flight immediately." The woman let go of Henry and grinned in delight.She was pretty, and her smile was sweet.As Natalie watched their interaction, she suddenly thought her presence was unnecessary.Henry specifically requested for the woman to return to the country. So he'd be keeping her comp
