Semua Bab Who's the Substitute Now?: Bab 1 - Bab 10

In a dimly lit room, two people were entangled together. The thrusting, moaning, and panting that they let out filled up the room. The heat from their activities made the windows fog up.Natasha Sullivan's eyes were damp as she subconsciously scratched her nails across Joshua Grayson's toned back.The heated atmosphere lasted for a long time. Eventually, she listened as whoever had been standing outside the room left.Natasha looked at Joshua, who seemed somewhat drunk. She panted slightly as she turned away from Joshua's sweaty face. His breathing fanned over her delicate collarbones, making her tremble."Grandpa's gone …" she reminded him gently. They didn't need to keep the act up anymore.Joshua didn't seem to hear her. He stared at her dazedly, the look in his eyes unfathomable. "Natty …"His voice was deep and hoarse. It made one tingle.He slowly reached out a hand to caress Natasha's face.She didn't have any makeup on, but her lips were still particularly red. Her no

Joshua was irritated as he drove. Suddenly, his phone rang. He answered it impatiently.Ella sounded panicked as she said on the other end of the line, "Mr. Grayson, something's happened to your grandfather!"Joshua slammed the brakes. Then, he quickly turned the car around to head back to the villa. Ten minutes later, he arrived home.The Grayson family's doctor had just resuscitated Joshua's grandfather, Philip Grayson. The anesthetic had yet to wear off, so he was still unconscious.Natasha stood by Philip's bedside. Though she and Joshua were about to divorce, the manners the Sullivan family had taught her commanded her to see how Philip was doing.The Sullivan family was an old and well-known family, and it paid great attention to manners and etiquette. Though it had been a few years since Natasha had returned home, the Sullivan family's manners and etiquette were ingrained in her.Philip was as pale as a sheet. The only spot of color he had was the faint redness of his lips

Natasha briefly greeted the board of directors before hanging up."How are my parents doing? It's been three years since I last saw them. I don't know whether …" She looked at Zack."They're fine, so you don't need to worry about them. Why didn't you think about how they'd fare when you insisted on marrying into a nondescript family like the Graysons?" Zack smirked and teased."Alright, that's enough," Natasha retorted. "Let's go. I'm sleepy."She'd been in a good mood after leaving the Graysons, but it was gone now. Zack's tongue was as sharp as ever.They didn't take long to arrive at a lavishly decorated villa.Natasha's mood had recovered. She washed up, deciding to head to the mall to buy some daily necessities tomorrow. She'd left everything she owned at the Grayson Villa. As people always said, out with the old and in with the new. After that, she'd go check out the real estate.…Joshua received a call from Natalie."Josh, I'm back," she said daintily.Joshua's heart

Natalie was positive Natasha was trying to spend as much of the Grayson family's money as she could before the divorce. She was so shameless!Natalie stormed over to Natasha. The latter was busy picking out a unit she liked when she saw a figure stomp over to her, looking fierce.Natasha looked up to see Natalie before her. She'd seen a photo of Natalie in Joshua's room before, so she recognized her. In the photo, Natalie had been wearing a white dress and smiling innocently. She was far from the haughty, furious woman she was now."Do you need anything from me?" Natasha asked calmly. She and Joshua were already getting divorced, and it wasn't like she was shamelessly clinging to him. What would Natalie want from her?Natalie did an immediate 180. She smiled at Natasha and said, "Hi! I'm Natalie Lovelace. You should know who I am, right?"Now that she, the real deal, was back, she wanted to see how long Natasha could stick around!Natasha raised an eyebrow. "Yeah. So?"She wante

Natasha's exasperation grew. She sneered at the "perfect couple" standing before her with their arms tightly wrapped around one another."I've just realized how blind you are, Joshua. Have you forgotten why the Grayson family almost went bankrupt three years ago? One big reason for that is that you don't know the people around you."The woman you're holding so tightly now isn't like what you imagine. I'd advise you to think long and hard about this," Natasha said.Joshua looked at her sharply. "I'm blind? Indeed, I am. I've always thought you were a gentle, kind woman, yet you've turned out to be someone who gets jealous easily and even gets physical with another woman. I can't believe you allowed your jealousy to make you lash out like this!"So, Joshua thought she and Natalie had gotten into a fight because she was jealous of Natalie? What was there to be jealous of?The fact that Natalie had his heart? The fact that Natalie could live a happy life with him?This was such a jok
