Sheldon walked onto the stage under Natalie's confused gaze.It was unsure what he had told the band, for Natalie saw the band's lead singer handing the microphone to Sheldon.At that, Natalie felt even more puzzled.It seemed that Sheldon was about to sing.Natalie didn't know that Sheldon could sing.Perhaps it was because Sheldon was handsome. When he slung the guitar over his back, some of the girls started screaming. However, Sheldon's gaze went through everyone to land on Natalie.Sheldon also had a nice voice. "There's a woman in this crowd that I want to dedicate this song to. I hope that she will be happy. I also wish that she would smile when she thinks of this day."Some jealous mutters sounded in the crowd. Indeed, it was a lucky and happy thing to be treated like that.However, Natalie never thought Sheldon would be the one to do such a touching thing to her.He was just a man that she had met for less than a month, after all.A warm sensation filled Natalie'
Although it was just an assistant role, Natalie was extremely satisfied. After all, she was just a newbie in this field. She had to start from somewhere.Natalie was extra emotional. "Can I really be your assistant? Are you really letting me be your assistant? I'm a bit flustered."It was a known fact that a lot of reputable architects still wished to learn from Sheldon.Now that he was willing to give her a chance, she was more than willing to accept!There was a small smile on Sheldon's face. "So, do you agree?""Of course!" The gloom in her heart immediately disappeared.When Sheldon heard her answer, he let out a sigh of relief. "I'll be waiting for you to come to work, then?"Natalie nodded eagerly. "Yes! I'll definitely go to work on time.""Alright. You should hurry back and rest." Sheldon waved goodbye to her."Okay. Goodnight, then." Natalie waved back at him before turning to the residential area.After returning to her house, Natalie lay in bed after washing up.
Seeing Juliet like that, Henry grew angrier at her.Meanwhile, Juliet turned pale from his words. She could only watch as he left, unable to say a thing.It seemed that he absolutely hated her.Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so harsh with his words.Although tears welled in her eyes, Juliet stopped herself from crying.At that moment, a shop employee walked over and asked carefully, "Ms. Weaver, do we still need to serve the dishes?""No need. Throw all of them away!" Juliet quickly regained her composure and left the restaurant.She'd arrived at the restaurant early in the morning.All the dishes prepared today had been made under her supervision.Initially, she wanted to celebrate an unforgettable birthday together with Henry.However, she no longer was in the mood to do so.Not long after she exited the restaurant, a shrill voice sounded from across the road. "You're here, Juliet! Is your phone just for show? Why didn't you pick up my calls?"Juliet turned around and s
Henry didn't mind all of the gazes on him. His entire focus was on finding Natalie.Henry was scanning his surroundings as he tried to find the familiar figure."Up ahead is Mr. Cook's office," Trevor introduced while leading Henry. "Okay. Let's go and have a look," Henry replied seriously. He had kept his intentions well hidden."Mr. Chase, please." Trevor still maintained an extremely respectful attitude toward him.When they reached Sheldon's office, Trevor knocked twice on the door. "Mr. Cook, are you inside?""Yes. Wait for a moment." A voice sounded in the office.A few seconds later, the office door was opened from the inside.Sheldon was stunned for a moment, confusion spreading across his face.Sheldon wondered why Henry was there.Plus, Henry looked like he was there to stir up trouble!"Mr. Costa," Sheldon greeted Trevor first.Just as Trevor was about to say something, Henry spoke first, "I've been hearing of Mr. Cook's name for quite some time. Can I speak to
Henry completely ignored Sheldon and walked before Natalie.Henry reached out and touched the employee ID card she wore. A smirk appeared on his face. "Assistant architect?""Mr. Cook, she's just an assistant. It's not like you can't do anything without her." Henry looked at Sheldon menacingly.Just as Sheldon was about to speak, Natalie butted in, "Sheldon, I'll escort him to the cafeteria then."Natalie understood Henry's nasty temper well.If Henry didn't get what he wanted, he would definitely stir up trouble.Natalie didn't want to be a laughing stock for Sheldon, nor did she want to make any trouble for him.Sheldon nodded. He would always respect her decision. "Okay."Sheldon watched her leave with a hint of concern in his eyes. Natalie and Harry would still be involved in each other's lives until they got divorced.Although Sheldon was scared that Natalie would get hurt, he wasn't in a position to interfere too much.Sheldon only wished that Natalie could get out of
Juliet had a vicious look in her eyes.She didn't expect Henry to come to Dawn Corporation, either.Henry had only heard that Natalie was getting close to another man, but he was already rushing over to see it for himself. Couldn't he bear it even a little?Was this how much he cared about Natalie?Moreover, when he saw Natalie getting hurt, he had an anxious look on his face.Juliet was very familiar with that expression.Because, many years ago, he would have the same expression on his face when he saw her getting hurt.Stanley's voice pulled Juliet back to reality. "Henry's appearance is unexpected, and it has also affected my plans to an extent. But it's alright. Community Care Hospital is the nearest hospital around here."Stanley's gaze darkened as he continued, "Henry must have sent her there. As long as she's hospitalized there, I'm sure I can find another chance …"He knew very well that Juliet was wary of the child's existence.If so, then he would do his best to he
Moreover, as a fellow man, Henry was very sure that he wouldn't be mistaken.When Sheldon gazed at Natalie, the look in his eyes wasn't what a superior should have when they were looking at a subordinate!He must have ulterior motives toward Natalie!Sheldon looked at Henry defiantly. His voice sounded like he was trying his best to hold in anger. "Is this how you take care of Natalie? You told her to eat with you, but now, she ended up like this!"Henry's expression turned even colder. With a cold voice, he reminded Sheldon, "Don't forget. She's Mrs. Chase as well."It's my business how I want to take care of her or what becomes of her after that. You have no right to interfere!"Looking at the two angry men, Natalie hastily spoke up to stop them, "Stop it, you two!"Then, she turned to look at Sheldon. She said in a sincere tone, "Thank you for coming over to visit me, Sheldon, but my baby and I are truly fine. As for me getting hurt, it was also an accident."Natalie didn't
Harry turned off the stove, shaking his head helplessly. "Dad is looking everywhere for reputable doctors."But after they came over and checked, they all said that there was nothing they could do about it … I think it may be … truly hopeless now."Henry lowered his gaze. He felt as if his heart was ruthlessly torn apart, sending a searing pain through him.He knew that everyone would have to eventually grow old and die.Yet, he couldn't help but feel sorrow.Of course, he also felt hatred.No matter what, he would catch the person who did this to Moira!Harry sighed again. "I've always thought that they could see my child being born. Then, they could hear the child calling them 'great grandpa' and 'great grandma.'"With that, Harry couldn't help but purse his lips. After calming down, he said, "But now … I'm scared for real. I'm worried that … the day won't ever come.""Don't think too much for now. We shouldn't scare ourselves." Trying to be positive, Henry lifted the corner
Once Henry and Natalie arrived at the competition venue, Henry made a beeline for the participants' entrance. Meanwhile, family members like Natalie headed straight to the lobby.Natalie had already spotted a few prominent figures in the architectural design field. Some were competing, others were judging.After seeing Henry disappear into the exclusive lane, Natalie strolled toward the lobby.When all the competitors and judges took their places, the host took to the stage to kick off the competition.Due to the language barrier, Natalie could only catch the gist of what the host was saying.Eventually, a sentence flashed on the big screen. After translating it, it read, "A theatre."It seemed that the challenge would be to design a theatre.After the theme was announced, the screen switched to a live feed of the competition area. Competitors had their own designated space.Within the competition area sat dozens of top-tier architects, who all had produced significant works be
Henry cleared his throat and smiled at Mercy. He tried to keep his smile gentle and even spoke softly.But it only took a few seconds of him singing to cause Mercy to burst into tears, her face filled with resistance.The corners of Henry's mouth twitched. Was he that scary?Natalie was stunned by this. What was going on? It seemed that Mercy was a difficult child!Henry and Natalie had arrived in the city a few days before the competition. It was Henry's idea. He said he still owed Natalie a honeymoon trip, so he decided to make it up to her during this overseas trip.They visited many places and took many photos during their free time.Looking at the photos on her phone and then at Henry sleeping beside her, a satisfied smile appeared on Natalie's face.She tiptoed over and pecked Henry on the forehead. "Henry, I never felt more happy."But as soon as she leaned back, she saw Henry with his eyes opened. Under the dim light, his eyes shone brightly with a hint of danger."Ste
Why was Harry here?Time sure flew by. In the blink of an eye, it had been almost three months since Shirley divorced Harry."Shirl, I'll excuse myself since the guest is here. Take your time!" her boss said and retreated to the nearby restroom.All of a sudden, the entire coffee shop fell quiet, and the atmosphere became tense.Shirley and Harry stared at each other, feeling as if time had come to a standstill. In the end, it was Harry who broke the silence. "Let's start.""Why are you…" Shirley still found it hard to believe."It's your birthday today. How could I miss it?" Harry offered a faint smile.Shirley wasn't sure how genuine Harry's feelings for her were at the beginning of their marriage. But she had to admit, Harry never missed any of their anniversaries, or her birthday during the time they were together.But she never thought Harry would still show up and celebrate her birthday with her after the divorce."It's my birthday, yet you're still making me draw
"I see. Then I'll visit Cece after you return," Shane said as he cast a loving gaze at Natalie.As he watched Natalie leave, he couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude and relief.Thankfully, he had realized life's true meaning before it was too late. 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
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. He was startled to see that Shane was awake."Dad… " Overwhelmed with joy, Jonah called out to Shane.
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?" Leonard's mind was racing, but he couldn't figure out what he had done to anger her.Nevertheless, he was ready to admit his mistakes and correct them accordingly."See for yourself!" Rachel picked up the book she'd thrown at him and tossed it to him.Leonard calmly took the book and noticed a striking headline on the book cover."Shocking! Former CEO of Velvet Star Entertainment Is the Boss Behind Sky Entertainment?"Well, the cat was out of the bag.Leonard cleared his throat and pondered on how to explain this to Rachel. But before he could say anything, Rachel spoke up instead, saying, "How could you lie to me? Do you know that I couldn't sleep for nights, worrying that you couldn't find a job?"I felt so guilty that you were kicked out by your father and even lost your job because of me! Every day, I
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
When Natalie was pushed off from the seventh floor, her phone had fallen out of her pocket and had subsequently gotten smashed.And so, her phone had been turned off since, rendering Lavender unable to reach her.Lavender frowned, feeling uneasy.When Celine noticed Lavender's strange expression, she quickly asked, "Did you get through?"Lavender shook her head and said, "I'll try Henry's number again." Celine's heart leaped into her throat as she waited.Luckily, Henry quickly picked up the phone this time."Mr. Chase, may I know where Natalie is right now? She missed my wedding today," Lavender anxiously said."She's in the hospital," Henry honestly told her.Lavender furrowed her brows. "Which hospital?""Community Care Hospital.""Got it. Thank you." Lavender hung up the phone. "What did he say?" Celine immediately asked as her heart pounded.Meanwhile, Jonah stared at Celine in confusion and wondered why she was so concerned about Natalie.Such excessive concern di
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. The mere thought of what she endured, and the resilience she displayed during those challenging times, fills me with both awe and fear. "And the commitments I made to her have be
