Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 696
He didn't know where this sense of loss came from, but it hung over Joshua like a low-pressure system and seemed impossible to dispel. His expression visibly darkened. Yet, he seemed to want to maintain his dignity and didn't want Natasha to discern his sense of loss. So Joshua pursed his lips, forcefully suppressing the feeling and putting on a blank expression. He seemed indifferent to Natasha's proposed condition."How about it? Does Mr. Grayson need more time to consider?" Natasha sat calmly in her chair, tilting her head slightly. She was confident this time that Joshua would definitely agree. Although she felt a bit uneasy about using Philip's life as leverage against Joshua, she believed it was the best option at the moment. Given Joshua's personality, using trivial things as leverage wouldn't pose any threat to him. Besides family members' lives, everything else was insignificant to him. She had no other choice.As Natasha spoke, her eyebrows furrowed lightly, and her
Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 1
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

Natasha had interrupted Joshua mid-sentence. It was the first time she'd ever done something like that.And it was a rare occasion for Joshua to be so gentle toward her, too.The meaning he conveyed was harsh, but Natasha wasn't bothered.Since Joshua's first love was back in the country, Natasha's job here was complete.She'd done plenty for the Grayson family, so she didn't owe them anything. She didn't owe the man in her memories anything.It was time for her to wake up from her dream.Joshua instinctively glanced at Natasha. Her eyes were as deep and calm as the water in a lake.The words he'd prepared to convince her were lodged in his throat. He stared at Natasha in surprise.She looked as calm and quiet as usual. She'd been this way since the first day of their marriage—she always exuded a soothing, comforting air. The calmness in her tone would make one think that she was asking what they were having for dinner.Had Natasha really agreed to Joshua's demand for a divorc

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
Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 4
Natasha's slender figure slowly disappeared from Joshua's sight. She went to her room upstairs but didn't intend to pack anything. She didn't want to take any of the things she was keeping at the Graysons'.She wanted a brand new start.Natasha's plan was to buy a new house tomorrow morning. Her priority now was to move out. Judging from Joshua's attitude, it seemed it would take a while for the divorce to happen. She didn't want to continue staying here before then.After coming up with a rough plan, she got into bed and slowly drifted off.Natasha had a dream. She dreamed of the first time she saw that person.It had happened on a hot summer afternoon. The sun had been burning with all its might when Zack Lynch had asked her to head over to the basketball court with some water.There hadn't been a single cloud in the sky or any wind. All there was was the scorching sun, and Natasha quickly started to sweat. Even the trees around the court seemed to droop listlessly under the

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
Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 6
Natalie knew Joshua had already gotten married, and his wife, Natasha, had been by his side for the past three years. It was just that Natalie couldn't ask about it if Joshua didn't bring it up.She had no choice but to find out more from the maids. She wanted to see how similar she and Natasha looked.Gina didn't dare to offend the love of Joshua's life. She hurriedly said, "Mrs. Grayson doesn't usually take photos. There's nothing to worry about, though. She looks like you but isn't as pretty as you are."She smiled sycophantically. She figured her position in the Grayson family would be stronger if she could get into Natalie's good books.Natalie smiled shyly at Gina's words, but the latter could tell the former loved her flattery.It made sense. How could a substitute compare to the real deal?Natalie supposed Natasha couldn't be ugly if the latter looked like her. She was a beauty, after all."Well, I guess Ms. Sullivan's also gorgeous." Natalie "generously" accepted Gina's
Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 7
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
