Natalie suppressed her doubts and stopped asking further....Charles quickly returned to Oliver's side.In a low voice, he whispered, "Mr. Windsor, I found out."Oliver glanced at the servant next to him, and the servant immediately tactfully stepped back."Continue," Oliver said."The person who used to flaunt wanting to marry you everywhere was indeed not Madame and was Hailey. The person who originally had an engagement with you was also Hailey. However, after your accident, Hailey no longer claimed to be your fiancee, so for these years, no one knew which Miss from the Watson family had the engagement with you. That's why she ended up marrying Madame."As long as one is not a fool, it is obvious that Hailey clearly rejected Oliver after the accident, and in the end, the Watson family married off Natalie, who was not favored.If Hailey were to find out about the young master's true nature in the future, she would probably regret it to death!"A substitute marriage?" Oliver narrow
Natalie bit her lip and lowered her head for a while before saying, "Your, your wife." "Is it embarrassing to be my wife?" Oliver raised his eyes, holding the trigger.Natalie was terrified that he would aim the dark barrel of the gun at her head if he was unhappy. "Say it again.""I am your wife!" Natalie's tone was commanding, and as she spoke, her cheeks turned red with a sense of shameful confession. Feeling unjust, Natalie couldn't help but quietly protest, "It's not like you actually like me, you don't even treat me as your wife..."Oliver pressed his tongue against his cheek and furrowed his brow. Although she was right, he certainly didn't like this woman who was forced upon him by his grandmother. However, it seemed that he didn't dislike her as much as he had imagined. She behaved like a well-behaved cat in front of him, but beneath this docile facade, there were sharp claws. Perhaps keeping her around would not only mean having a cook, but also having a pet. "Natalie,
Those eyes were deep and silent, beautiful like the stars, capable of captivating one's soul.Just by looking into those eyes, they had a deadly allure to women.Oliver quickly assessed Hailey from top to bottom and found her face less pleasing compared to Natalie's.He slightly opened his thin lips and gave her four words:"None of your business."Hailey's face instantly turned extremely embarrassed, as if someone had slapped her across the face!However, seeing how outstanding this man's temperament was, she couldn't just return like this. "Mr. Windsor, do you know about Natalie and..."Hailey hesitated and pretended there was something she couldn't say, waiting for Oliver to be curious and ask her.Who knew that this masked and cold man would lift his leg and leave, giving off an air of "If you have nothing to say, don't block my way," almost infuriating Hailey."Mr. Windsor, Natalie likes Adrian, did you know?" Hailey caught up with him in two steps.Oliver's steps halted, and a c
However, Hailey's mind kept replaying the sight of the unnamed ring on Natalie's ring finger she had unintentionally seen earlier - a seven-carat diamond that may not be too flashy but was an expensive pink diamond with astonishing clarity, top-notch cut, exquisite design, and extremely rare, worth a fortune.It could drive women crazy!That ring should have belonged to her, Hailey!Natalie didn't trust Hailey, so she went out to find a servant to ask."Hello, may I ask where Mr. Windsor has gone?" "In response to Mrs. Windsor, Mr. Windsor has gone out, and I don't know where exactly." It seems that Hailey may not have deceived her.Natalie glanced in the direction and then walked towards the west.Hailey, sitting on the sand, sneered. How could that woman still doubt her?So what if she has doubts? She still fell for it!Adrian had specifically cautioned her. The terrain in the west was complex and had not been touched for decades. When it was built, it is constructed by a world-re
Adrian ate his dinner absentmindedly.After dinner, he discreetly called Natalie from the bathroom, but he heard a mechanical female voice on the other end of the line:"I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is busy. Please try again later..."It dawned on Adrian that Natalie had blocked him ever since the incident of catching her in bed with someone else.That woman appeared cool but was actually gentle, yet when it came to relationships, she was uncompromising and didn't tolerate any nonsense.However, the more Natalie behaved this way, the more Adrian couldn't seem to let go of her. He even developed a... desire to conquer her!What if Oliver's wife fell in love with him, Adrian? His notorious Little Third Uncle had no idea how embarrassing that would be!Adrian left the bathroom and found Hailey. "Hailey, can you call Natalie and ask where she is?"Hailey's smile froze for a moment, as she tried to hide her displeasure and pretended to be sad. "Adrian, why do you care about Natal
"Mrs. Windsor hasn't returned since she left in the afternoon.""You're telling me this now, for such a big matter?" Oliver spoke slowly.Charles was startled, "Mr. Windsor, you have always had the rule of not being disturbed during the tribute, so I..."A slight frown appeared on Oliver's forehead, and Charles's words made him realize his own inappropriate behavior. He let go of his subordinate and hurriedly walked towards the main building.Charles couldn't understand, why was Mr. Windsor so nervous when he didn't even like Mrs. Windsor? Inside the main building, Henry and the others were preparing to leave and collided head-on with Oliver.His gaze quickly scanned the area.Still no sign of Natalie."Where is Natalie?" "Where did your wife go? How dare you ask us?" Henry became furious. Adrian looked at Oliver, wanting to say something but hesitated. "Where are you all going?" Oliver noticed that they were all dressed up and ready to go. "My sister had a fever after her surger
It turned out he couldn't let go of that little wicked woman!"Mr. Windsor, I'm worried about Adrian, I want to go check on him," Hailey said to Henry.Henry waved his hand, allowing her to go. He didn't have time to deal with her right now.Edwin, as an onlooker, observed the scene, and a subtle smile appeared at the corner of his lips.Night fell, silent and still.The surroundings were desolate, with only the sound of their own breathing and footsteps.Oliver was familiar with the old mansion; around the main building, there was rarely any human presence in the west side woods, often inhabited by snakes and rodents."Natalie!""Natalie, can you hear me?"The surrounding weeds grew wild and untended, shrubs flourishing. Oliver held a flashlight and used the light to search for people everywhere.Behind him, Charles quickly contacted the servants to search for people."Ah--""Help--Help!"Faint screams of a woman came from among the trees.Oliver followed the source of the sound, wal
"Natalie, why didn't you say not to hold you when the snake was wrapping around you just now?" Oliver's face turned as dark as water. She was scared to the point of being weak, scratching him as if scratching an itch, and she still wanted to walk about?Natalie was not convinced, "I don't want you to hold me! You intentionally played with me and then came to save me, all for the sake of giving me a slap and a sweet! You jerk!""If you keep causing a scene, I'll throw you back to the snake." Oliver halted and threatened."No!" Natalie reflexively held onto Oliver's broad shoulders. She probably would have a psychological trauma towards snakes for the rest of her life.Oliver slightly curled his lips, finally calming down."You said just now, it was me playing with you?" Oliver recalled the doubts in Natalie's words from earlier."It was you who had Hailey pass on the message, saying there was something and asked me to come here. I called you later, but you didn't answer." Natalie grew
