Typically, high-end restaurants like these had live entertainment. However, the sudden music made them stare.Natalie was especially alert. She knew the particular piece had a deeper meaning behind it. Henry had played the piece the first time she met him.Later, she found out that it was the only song he knew how to play on the piano and that Juliet had taught it to him. She was sure it was some sort of love song between them. Juliet must have played it intentionally to get Henry to remember their relationship.Instinctively, Natalie looked over at him. He looked much calmer than she'd expected, averting his gaze after only a few moments. If Natalie hadn't known better, she would've assumed, from his aloof expression, that the pianist was just a stranger.Owen, on the other hand, was furious. "This woman is so annoying!" he said coldly.Harry lowered his voice. "I'll get rid of her, Grandpa."Owen stopped him and turned to Henry. "Are you still hung up on her?" he asked tentativ
Henry hadn't wanted to explain anything to Natalie, but her obtuseness and relentless questions were getting to him.Natalie blinked at him, taken aback by his sudden outburst.Was Henry … explaining his actions to her? Why was he doing this?"If you keep asking these stupid questions, I'm going to make you pay!" Henry gave her a warning look, effectively silencing her.In any case, it didn't matter whether he'd had an affair with Juliet. Nothing changed between them.Juliet wasn't the only reason why she wanted to divorce him. For the most part, it was because she was thoroughly disappointed by him. At this point, she wanted to end it all so she could have some room to breathe and let her wounded heart heal.That night, Natalie and Henry returned to the house they used to live in.Henry headed to the study, citing unfinished work. Natalie took a shower and sat on the bed as she called her father.Daniel had been out of prison for two days, but she hadn't had the chance to spea
Natalie went up to the table and took her seat.Henry glanced at her as he said into his phone, "Alright, I'll head over later."He ended the call and picked up a piece of toast. Out of the corner of his eye, he gave Natalie a once-over. It was clear that she'd dressed up that morning.Feigning nonchalance, he asked, "Are you going out?""Yeah," Natalie answered shortly.Henry leaned back in his chair and stared at her. He was displeased by her curt attitude, but he was curious about where she was going."Where are you going?""Do I have to report my daily activities to you?" Natalie countered, giving him a cool glance."I'm not busy today. I plan on following you," Henry sneered at her.Natalie paused. "I just heard you tell someone on the phone that you're going somewhere.""Maybe we're heading to the same place," Henry countered without missing a beat.Exasperated, Natalie said, "I'm going out with Leslie. You won't want to join our girls' day out."Ah, so she was going
Natalie was also watching the screen. She heard every single word the newscaster said.Henry and his father were pictured on the screen, along with a beautiful woman, who looked similar in age, and her family. Clearly, it was a meeting between the two families, and it seemed to have gone well.Was this what he had meant when he said he was heading out for work? Meeting the Browns? How was there any hope for this marriage if he was doing that?He kept saying that he did not want a divorce, but everything he did just deepened her resolve to leave him.Sheldon observed Natalie. Despite her best attempts to hide her emotions, he could see the hurt in her eyes.He looked at the yacht by the pier and said, "Let's take the yacht out. It'll make you feel better."Previously, Natalie was worried that it wasn't appropriate for her to go on a yacht with Sheldon, but she changed her mind. If Henry could meet another woman, she could enjoy herself on a yacht.Moreover, there was nothing betw
"Be careful!" Sheldon held Natalie's arm tightly as he urgently asked the staff, "What happened?" The yacht's crew members were clearly startled, too. They exclaimed, "We're not sure! We'll check right away!" They left swiftly to conduct the necessary checks. The intense shaking made Natalie uneasy. "Why is this happening … And why do I feel like the yacht is sinking?" Natalie swallowed nervously, filled with fear. She had to admit that she was terrified of death because there was a little life growing inside her belly. She had so much she wanted to do that she couldn't let anything bad happen to herself. Sheldon felt her anxiety but tried not to startle her further. He reassured, "Don't worry, the staff is checking. It might return to normal soon …" The yacht suddenly tilted to one side. Natalie fell over the railing. "Natalie!" Sheldon's heart skipped a beat as he quickly grabbed her hand. Holding her hand was challenging for him. Natalie hung outside the yacht. Half
"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be having dinner with the Brown family?" Natalie asked, pretending not to care. News about his dinner with the Brown family had spread, and rumors were circulating. However, it was just a misunderstanding. The whole thing was a setup by Cliff. After what happened, Henry planned to have a serious talk with him. But, of course, he didn't mention any of this to Natalie. Why would he bother explaining to her if she never took him seriously and lied to him? Henry approached her and looked down at her, asking, "Don't you have anything to explain to me?" "Explain what?" Natalie asked, unfazed."You said you were going out with Leslie, but you were actually out alone with Sheldon?" Henry questioned with a cold expression. His anger was written on his face.However, it all seemed extremely ridiculous to Natalie. She replied disdainfully, "You can dine with a wealthy young lady, but I can't go out with other men? Henry, isn't that a bit h
"After you fell into the sea, he risked his life to jump in and rescue you …" Amos' words made Natalie's heart tighten for a moment. "What? He jumped into the sea to save me?" Natalie asked, surprised. She couldn't imagine Henry risking everything to save her. When she saw him at the hospital, there was no sign of worry on his face.She even started questioning him immediately. Why …She thought the yacht company's staff had rescued her.Amos nodded, "Yes, you didn't know? After rescuing you, he immediately took you to the hospital and stayed by your side the entire time …"Amos had initially thought their relationship would improve after Henry did such a thing. But surprisingly, things stayed the same. After hearing this, Natalie remained restless for a long time.Her hands at her side clenched involuntarily. Why did Amos' description of Henry differ so much from what she had seen?Did Henry really do that for her? He was worried about her safety?In the end, she refrai
"Why don't we wait until tomorrow morning to discuss it, Mr. Chase …"But Amos couldn't stop him. Henry kicked open Cliff's door, his stern expression making others step back. Amos stood silent, sweating nervously, too afraid to say a word. The loud noise startled Cliff, who was already asleep. He sat up in bed, looking at the door with an alarmed expression. The moment he saw Henry, his face darkened, and he angrily said, "Are you crazy? What are you doing at this late hour?" "Who's the one acting crazy here, you or me?" Henry walked in expressionless, emanating frustration. "Mr. Chase Senior, I couldn't stop Mr. Chase …" Amos stood there, head hanging low, visibly guilty. Cliff rubbed his temples and gestured for Amos to leave the room. Amos closed the door quietly. The room fell into silence, and the atmosphere felt oddly suffocating. "Henry, did I give you permission to barge into my room like this?" Cliff frowned at Henry. Henry was really challenging Cliff. He
