Chapter 1382

Auteur: Marina Vittori
Ezra smirked as he watched Dustin leave the restaurant. "Did that sore loser really think he stood a chance with Eleanor? He thought too highly of himself!"

He pondered, his thoughts flowing naturally. "No matter how hard he tried to get closer to Eleanor, it only took a bit of my sweet words to win her back. That's the difference between us."

Eleanor gazed at Dustin's retreating figure, her expression a mix of confusion and disappointment. She'd always believed Dustin liked her, which is why he'd gone to such great lengths to help her.

But his nonchalant exit without even a backward glance left her wondering. "Is he heartbroken or just playing hard to get?"

She mused, "Dustin, I thought you were a good person, so I wanted to bring you into my world and help you achieve great things. I never expected you to be so oblivious to what you're missing.

" You've missed out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a beautiful life. It was your choice, and I gave you the chance, but you di

    The diners kept their chatter to a whisper, but Dustin's sharp hearing still caught every word. He didn't let it bother him.Natasha, however, seemed to enjoy the attention. The envious glances from the other women only made her feel more pleased with herself. She kept serving him food or refilling his water with deliberate affection.Dahlia sat across from them with her usual aloofness, acting as if the whispers didn't exist. But when she glanced at the pair, her expression faltered for a moment.Just then, a young server approached, carrying a sizzling-hot platter of barbecue. He must have been distracted by the two stunning ladies and accidentally tripped."Oh no!" he yelped, stumbling.The sizzling platter lurched in his grip, tipping toward Dahlia and Natasha at the edge of the table. Both women's faces turned pale. Dustin, who'd been sitting quietly until now, reacted instantly. He lunged forward, grabbed the server with one hand, and caught the platter with the other.Wi

    "What a coincidence, Ms. Nicholson." Natasha's tone was cool and distant. "Though staring at my husband like that seems a bit inappropriate, don't you think?""Husband?" Dahlia snapped out of her daze and composed herself, her face returning to its usual calm detachment. She smiled faintly with a hint of skepticism. "Ms. Harmon, if I recall correctly, you're not married. Where did this husband come from?"Natasha had expected this question. She immediately wrapped her arm around Dustin's and pressed her body intimately against him.Tilting her face up toward her, she declared, "He is my husband. We're getting our marriage license tomorrow."The announcement caught Dahlia off guard, creating a ripple of unease beneath her composed exterior. Her smile stiffened just slightly as her eyes moved back to Dustin, and something unreadable flickered across her face. She took a moment before responding, keeping her voice neutral."Well then, congratulations to you both.""Thank you,

    After buying clothes for Dustin, Natasha still wanted to shop more. She led him into the boutique next door to pick out a few handbags from the latest collection for herself.While she was browsing, a young man spotted her and his eyes lit up. He wore a flashy shirt and gold chains as he made his way over."Hey, pretty. You've got great taste. This bag just arrived. It's a limited edition and would suit you perfectly." Zayden Riche smiled as he spoke, his eyes roaming over Natasha while completely ignoring Dustin beside her.She didn't even look up and continued examining the bag in her hands.Zayden didn't give up, flashing what he thought was a charming smile. "How about we become friends? Pick whatever you like today. I'll pay for it."He shot Dustin a smug glance, as if showing off his wealth.Natasha frowned in annoyance. "Get lost."The smile froze on Zayden's face. He had status in this part of town, and no woman had ever dismissed him so bluntly. His face turned grim

    Outside Dash Corporation building, a luxury sedan sat parked at the curb.The driver saw Gilbert stumble out, clutching his broken wrist, his face pale with agony. He quickly got out of the vehicle. "Mr. Chandler, what happened to you?""Shut the hell up!" Gilbert shouted. "Don't ask stupid questions. Just get me to a hospital. It hurts like hell." He kicked the driver and climbed into the back seat.The driver didn't dare say another word. He started the engine and sped toward the nearest hospital.Gilbert winced and grimaced from the pain. He stared at his broken wrist while rage bubbled inside him. He pulled out his phone and fumbled with his working fingers to dial a number.The call was quickly answered, and a calm but slightly annoyed male voice came from the other end."Gil? What is it? I'm in a meeting.""Frederick, someone hit me. My… My wrist is broken," Gilbert cried, his voice cracked with pain and rage."What?" His elder brother, Frederick Chandler, raised his

    Dustin had declared himself Natasha's husband, and Gilbert noticed that she didn't contradict him. She gazed at Dustin with a softness he had never witnessed before. Rage surged through him, making his entire body tremble."You fucking want to die?" Gilbert roared and swung his fist, all pretense of civility abandoned."Don't you dare!" she snapped, her expression turning icy."Natasha, what's so great about this little boy toy? How am I any worse than him? I've been nothing but devoted to you," Gilbert said, his expression turning sour."Cut the crap and get out," she said impatiently."You…" Gilbert choked on his words, then redirected his fury toward Dustin. "You got the guts to fight me one-on-one? Or are you just going to hide behind a woman like a coward?""One-on-one?" Dustin's lips curved into a faint smile. He found this amusing."What's wrong? Scared?" Gilbert sneered. "If you don't have the balls to fight, then get on your knees and apologize. Admit you're a coward, a

    Natasha stood frozen, staring at Dustin with her lips slightly parted. She looked like she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Tears blurred her vision almost instantly."Is it you, Dear?" she asked, her voice shaking with disbelief."I'm home, Natasha." He smiled and opened his arms. Before he could blink, she was already rushing toward him.Natasha threw herself into Dustin's embrace without hesitation. Her arms locked around his waist like she was trying to merge their bodies into one."You jerk! So you do remember the way home."Without his cultivation, the impact nearly knocked him off his feet. Fortunately, his footwork training allowed him to steady himself, though just barely. He couldn't help thinking about how weak he had become after becoming a mortal.He wrapped his arms tightly around her, feeling her tremble and sob in his embrace. Guilt and affection washed over him."I'm sorry for making you worry about me," he whispered.Natasha buried her face in his chest
