Natalic looked puzzled and asked, "Why are you sighing? You re till young Sighing won't make you grow up"
Luna was exasperated. She said. "Natalie, I'm all grown up now.
Natalie said, "Alright! Keep an eye on the stuff online, and let me know if anything happens. I'm working on my spring designs
This season's sales were fantastic, giving Natalie a boost of energy. She quickly shook off her negative mood, and her beautiful eyes regained a touch of brightness.
Luna chuckled and said, "Sure thing. I'll keep an eye on Jennifer Once she makes any move, Fll let you know right away. Don't go all love-struck again. Remember your favorite saying: become a lady of luxury Natalie replied, "Alright." Then, she hung up the phone.
Natalie felt a slight uncase deep down. Because of Maris's issue, she knew the Wayne family would try to crush her completely. She wasn't sure when they'd make their move.
Whether it was Jennifer's or Camellia's, they both wanted Natalie to take the blame in Maris's matter. However, Natalie had a trump card, so she wasn't afraid.
Her only fear was that they'd be reckless with people's lives in framing her.
Natalie pressed her lips together, thinking about the false accusations online. Her pretty face turned cold as she murmured. "I wonder what they'll do next?"
"Do what?" A deep, pleasant voice came from above.
Natalie looked up to see Easton. His expression remained cold and indifferent, but he appeared even more dazzling under the light.
Natalie was furious. She asked, "Don't you know to knock before you enter? And why do

walk so quietly?"
Easton, with deep and scrutinizing eyes, replied, "I did knock before I came in. And the reason I walk quietly is because there's a carpet."
His eyes were slightly lowered, with an air of grace and aloofness. His captivating eyes held a hint of a smile. When he came in, he had indeed knocked. Natalie just hadn't heard it because she was lost in thought. Easton placed the warm milk on the desk and said, "Have some milk. Don't just focus on work."
Natalie was slightly surprised; this was the second time Easton had brought her warm milk. She said, "Thank you!" She hesitated to drink it. She pressed her lips together, wanting to say something but holding back. Easton knew what she wanted to say. He replied, "Don't worry, it's not poisoned."
A hint of discomfort flickered across Natalie's face. She was surprised that Easton saw through her thoughts.
She said, "I'm afraid you might poison me because Jennifer is pregnant with your child. You have a good reason to scheme against me to make room for her." Easton's calm eyes was laid-back.

He sat on Natalie bed, the light scent making his heart race. He felt a desire for Natalie..
Natalie was momentarily taken aborck. She looked at Easton. She was always unconsciously drawn to his exquisite looks when the way with him.
She asked, "What news are you talking about? I've been by drawing designs and haven't followed any he
Easton explained, "The baby Jennifer is carrying isn't mine. How many times do I need to tell you before you believe mez I've never been with Jennifer, and I've never been with you either. His eyes were steadily fixed on her. Natalie was surprised Thinking of those photos Jennifer sent, she said. "But those photos weren't edited"
Easton replied, "They were edited, just very skillfully done. Jennifer was young then. At the age of marriage, she left after 1 had a car accident. She came back this year.
"Although she often stayed with us, I was rarely home. Why would you think I'd be with her?" This was the first time he had explained.
Since Natalie couldn't recognize that the person in the photos wasn't him, Easton decided to explain himself.
Natalie laughed in frustration. She said, "Easton, is it that hard to admit you were with her? I can tell you, real, and everyone in them is real too."
those photos are
Hearing this, Easton felt rather helpless. He finally grasped the situation. Natalie had initially assumed he would have something to do with Jennifer, just as he had initially assumed Natalie was lying.
The more Easton thought about it, the angrier he became, his teeth slightly clenched.
Natalie was hurt by it all. She thought, 'Easton is a jerk, brave enough to love but not to admit it.'
She said, "Easton, in the past, I would rather have tortured myself than give up on you, but you never understood how small that made me feel.
"Love and having loved are only a letter apart, but for us, it's only a memory."
Easton suddenly stood up. Noticing the hurt in her eyes, he softly said, "Natalie, it won't just be the past. You'll understand this someday."
He strode out, and at the door, he said, "I'll have dinner at home tonight. I'll be in the study and come down when dinner's ready. And from now on, I'll trust you. Try trusting me once, too Easton didn't look back at Natalie; he just walked away briskly.
Natalie wondered if Easton had changed if he finally cared about her. But the next moment, she shook her head. She thought, 'No, Easton is just following the agreement. She wouldn't let her heart fall for Easton in this lifetime. Her pretty eyebrows furrowed slightly as a bit of frustration built up inside. She took a deep breath, intending to return to her design sketches. When she looked down, her phone buzzed again from an unknown number. Natalie said, "Hello?"
Wendy said, "Natalie, it's Mom. Are you alright? I had no idea Jennifer and Camellia would throw dirt your way like this." Natalie was a bit surprised to hear Wendy's voice on the phone. Wendy was the last person she expected to call.
She laughed and said casually, "Isn't Jennifer your perfectly raised daughter? Why are you calling me? My life or death isn't your concern. Your precious daughter is now involved with a superstar and is pregnant. "Why aren't you comforting her instead of calling me? I've said before, I won't have anything to do with the Simpson family,
not even you, my birth mother. I've repaid everything, so stop calling.

"Jennifer is your beloved daughter. You even said yourself that you'd only ever recognize Jennifer, not me. Please, don't treat your own words like they mean nothing." Natalie hung up the phone right after saying that. Wendy truly spoke those hurtful words. There was no mother-daughter bond between them. So, hearing Wendy's concern made Natalie incredibly angry.
Wendy was her biological mother, someone she had once hoped to be loved by.
Wendy had five children from four pregnancies. She suffered from migraines, so Natalie secretly swapped her vitamins to cure her headaches, afraid Wendy wouldn't believe her otherwise.
In every life she's lived, Natalie could never understand why Wendy didn't love her. However, as Wendy's daughter, despite knowing her fate, Natalie wished for Wendy to live well until the end.
Even though Natalie didn't care for Wendy's life, Natalie still wanted Wendy to live well as long as Wendy didn't interfere in her life anymore.
Natalie hated that Wendy and Nick brought her back with hidden agendas. Although she understood it all, she still chose to believe that Wendy loved her.
Natalie forced a bitter smile because one's heart could become lifeless only after experiencing true despair.
