The necklace comfortably pressed against her skin, the gems cool and the pearls lustrous. Natalie stood there like a model, waiting for Oliver's admiration.Oliver nodded in satisfaction.Indeed, the necklace looked even more stunning on her than he had imagined. It wasn't the necklace complementing the person, but the person enhancing the necklace."How did you know I got you this gift?" Oliver asked.Even Mr. Liam wasn't aware of this."Isaac told me," Natalie carefully took off the necklace, intending to put it back in the wardrobe later for safekeeping, letting it serve as a decoration.Oliver narrowed his eyes. "That idiot Isaac!"Having woken up late, Natalie cooked a bowl of plain soy sauce noodles for breakfast.Soy sauce noodles were a simple dish in the Su style. After boiling the noodles in a pot of water, they were lifted and placed in a bowl, along with the toppings, using long chopsticks. Natalie deliberately used a bone broth and sprinkled some chopped scallions. She a
"So, this dish is delicious?" Isaac eagerly reached out to grab the beef, but Oliver pushed him away so fast that he couldn't even react."Buy it yourself if you want to eat," Oliver warned him with his eyes."Where did you buy this?" Isaac couldn't recall a place that offered such delicacies.You should know that brother is very picky when it comes to food. Anything he thinks is tasty must be heavenly!"Natalie made it.""Oh, Natalie made it..." Isaac paused halfway through his words, remembering something. "Natalie is so virtuous! Wow, she's a great wife."Oliver's cold gaze swept over him."Uh, brother, I swear on my life, I have no ill intentions towards your wife!" Isaac raised four fingers and swore, "Friends' wives should not be deceived. I know better now. I was just bluffing before... you shouldn't mind me!"Wyatt broke off one of his extra fingers and exposed him, "You're just scared of death."Isaac really wanted to kick Wyatt.But gossip was still important, "Brother, I've
Natalie stood there for over an hour, letting out a deep sigh, and finally walked in, hoping to fall asleep before Oliver returned, or at least pretend to be asleep, to avoid the awkwardness of facing him. The only consolation was that this oversized bed would allow her to stay as far away from Oliver as possible.Just like at the old mansion, Natalie slept on the edge of the bed, covering herself with a blanket she brought from the guest room. However, the sheets and pillows carried Oliver's scent, making her body tense with unease.Although they had slept together on the same bed at the old mansion, that was under special circumstances. Now... it was completely different."Click."The door opened.Natalie was startled and fell off the bed with a loud thud.Oliver turned on the light and saw a fluffy head poking out from under the blanket. With damp, big eyes blinking at him, the person sat on the ground, resembling an innocent and tender little kitten.Natalie noticed a dim coldness
Last night, the curtains weren't drawn, allowing a beam of morning light to shine on the bedside.Oliver opened his eyes and saw the woman in his arms, avoiding the light and snuggling into his embrace like a cat.She seemed a bit cold, and her soft, delicate hand was touching his lower back for warmth, making him feel tender.From his perspective, he could see her curled lashes and relaxed brow, a different kind of gentleness.Oliver suddenly felt that this kind of life was not bad at all.Without moving his body, he reached out his arm and grabbed the smart remote control on the bedside, pressing two buttons. The curtains closed automatically, and the temperature of the air conditioning rose from 16 degrees to 26 degrees.After a while, it was time for morning exercise, and Oliver carefully got up.Who would have thought that as soon as he sat up, he would grabbed by a little hand.Natalie was still asleep, her brow furrowed, holding onto him, as if his departure would disrupt her s
"Natalie, you will come to Adrian and my engagement banquet early next month, right?" Hailey said coyly. "Adrian promised to give me the best engagement banquet, so the preparation time is a bit longer. Look, this is the engagement ring he prepared for me, designed by a Milan designer that I really like."Hailey extended her right hand, revealing a dazzling seven-carat diamond ring on her right middle finger, shining brightly. The design and clarity of the diamond were top-notch.But compared to Natalie's wedding ring, it was not worth mentioning."Hailey, Natalie likes my brother. How could she have the heart to come to your engagement banquet with my brother? What if she starts crying at your engagement party? That would be such a downer!" Noah raised his chin, disdainfully smirking."Miss Watson is so lucky!""Congratulations in advance to Miss Watson and Adrian for a hundred years of happiness!"The surrounding models were congratulating Hailey. During the interview, they had alre
"As for why I slapped your brother, it's simply because he was disrespectful towards Jane! Back when the Harrington family and the Watson’s were in business together, we treated each other like family. Now that your brother is acting against us, if this were to get out, I'm sure it would be Jane who would feel embarrassed, not me!"Jane smiled and looked at Adrian. "Adrian, not to criticize, but you're playing a bit too much. Our Natalie has no relationship whatsoever with you now. Noah is your brother, not Natalie's"Adrian's face turned sour for a moment. Jane was reminding him that Natalie was no longer his girlfriend."Adrian, look at Noah's face..." Hailey intentionally reminded him of what happened to his brother."Fine!" Adrian's expression turned cold. "Miss Watson, Ms. Jane, the two of you have resorted to personal attacks against a younger family member. Since you are unwilling to apologize, I will have to involve the police for mediation."Since Natalie has lost face and ha

Natalie, you are so beautiful!" Arvin couldn't help but exclaim after finishing the styling.The other models and makeup artists all turned their attention to her with amazed expressions.Natalie looked ethereal in a white dress, with her long hair in loose curls and a white baby's breath as a hair accessory, perfectly complementing the boldness within her wavy hair.
