Again?He had the nerve to mention it to her?She was the one being wronged. She was the one being threatened. She was the one being treated unjustly. But when it came to him, everything would become her fault. Everything was her fault. He was right all the time. He was good all the time.She was so angry! She was fuming mad!The wounds on her legs added on to her pain and she wanted to explode. She did not try to hold it in anymore. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and she retorted in an icy tone, “If I tell you, you won’t believe me. If I keep quiet, you say I’m provoking you. John Winters, can’t you have more justice toward me?”Justice…The justice that he had wanted to give her became a request from her. A nerve struck inside him, and he could not resist saying something heartless again. “Who are you to want to talk justice with me?”“If you can’t even grant me that, don’t I at least have the right to be silent?”John, “...”She did not want to cry. She also refused to show
Zoey was doing this on purpose. Even though Natalie did not notice this, John who was standing there quietly the whole time did. However, even though he knew she purposely did that to make him look at her pained face, he was oddly concerned. That feeling lasted even after Zoey left with the medical record.Despite seeing that she had covered her legs with the blanket once again, John was still concerned.“Let me look at your legs.”Before him realizing it, he had already said this. Natalie was shocked. After a long pause, she covered her legs with her arms that were already being covered by the blanket. “I just changed my dressing.”“I can’t look at them after you change your dressing?”Natalie, “...”It was not that he could not look at them, but she did not want him to look at them. Or perhaps, there was no need for him to see them.However, with a person like John, if you rejected him the first time and he immediately gave up, he would not be John Winters.So, even if Na
John never considered the possibility of his house being in chaos. After all, in his eyes, the Winters’ family house was never peaceful to begin with.However, he was unhappy with her attitude toward him as usual. “Do you want to keep calling me Mr. Winters?”When she heard this, Natalie changed how she called him. “Master Winters.”After he heard that, the man’s raised his eyebrows unnaturally high. “We’re a loving couple. Should you be calling me honey?”“…”Ew!Was this piece of trash trying to disgust her to death? She could not help but glare at him. “I don’t have such a weird interest.”“Hm?”“I don’t need to call you that, right? You can’t say it even if you don’t think it’s disgusting.”John crossed his arms across his chest. “I don’t think it’s disgusting. Not at all.”She refused. Also, she did not want to pay attention to him.Natalie fell back down onto her bed. She pulled on the blanket and said, “I’m going to sleep.”The overbearing man lifted her blanket wi
Even if the back of his collar was being tugged, the stubborn Howard did not plan to comply.However, John was from the special forces. Since he decided to take action, he would not let a 12-year-old boy out of his grip.He twisted his hand and the frail pre-teen was forced against his car door. After that move, the sound of sucking in the air simultaneously could be heard around him.“Wow! What did I just see? Isn’t that Mr. Snowden?”“So that handsome guy’s Mr. Snowden?”“My gosh! What is this? Could this be the plot of an overbearing president falling in love with a male student?”“Gosh! This is so gay! I love it.”“Ah! If it’s Mr. Snowden, we’ll forgive him. They’re so handsome. They’re so pleasant to the eyes when they stand together. We’re okay with this.”“Mr. Snowden, we support you. Please be happy!”Howard, “...”The hell did they mean by happy?This was the first time he was being mistaken like this. They were mistaking him being with a man. Howard’s face was red
When he said that he would bring his brother-in-law to identify the people, John did not plan to dilly-dally. When he stepped into the house, he asked the butler to call all of the servants in the house to assemble in one line to let Howard identify.Since they were the people that hurt his sister, Howard did not let anyone off the hook. He lifted his finger and started pointing. “Her, her, her, and her.”After seeing the three old women that had been called out, John’s cold gaze was filled with disdain. “Butler, give them their salary for this month. You don’t need to come back tomorrow.”When they heard this, the three old women fell to their knees. One of the women whose mouth was sticking out and had a chin like an ape's pleaded while sobbing. “Master, we only did that because of madam’s orders. Please don’t kick us out!”“You’re just following madam’s orders?”His tone was cold and it sounded merciless. However, he threw a curveball and said, “Hm. If that’s the case, I can’
A person like John was offering to buy porridge for someone else?Looking at John as if he had schizophrenia, Natalie turned around and looked at her brother. “Did something happen?”“Sis…”He wanted to tell her but stopped himself in time. Eventually though, Howard told everything that happened in the Winters’ family house to his sister.When he finished his story, he rubbed his hands awkwardly. “That’s what happened.”“Okay.”“Sis, are you mad?”“No, I’m just shocked.”There was a light smile on Natalie’s face. She looked at her brother. “You changed your mind on him so fast.”“Sis, I’m on your side.”Natalie waved her hand to interrupt her brother. “I hope that you can get along with him in these three months. After all, it’s best not to offend the Winters.”“Sis, you really hate him, don’t you?”“Yeah.”She did not could deny this, nor did she want to.She hated John and it was not only because of what he did to her. It was also because of the secret eight years ago.
She held it up and asked in confusion, “What is this?”John was not the gentlest man out there, and he did not have much patience to explain to her. He replied impatiently, “Change your clothes and wear it.”“Isn’t this a bit too much wearing this to your house? I have my clothes…"Without waiting for her to finish, he impatiently interrupted her again, “I’m asking you to change into that.”Natalie, “...”She felt that something was wrong, but whatever, it did not matter if it were a gown or a pretty dress that could be passed off as a gown because, at the end of the day, his satisfaction was what mattered the most.She did not have the right to say anything, so the only thing she could do was change into the gown.The naive Natalie thought that he had a weird fetish of asking her to dress in something pretty to go to his house. She did not expect him to take her to the Winters’ family house.Natalie put up a fight as soon as she got out of the car. “Didn’t we say that we’ll go
Natalie and John had entered the house separately, and Natalie found a quiet corner to sit at in the house.She had planned to be low profile and just let the night end peacefully. She never expected a group of flamboyant ladies walking over to her after she just sat down.Her first reaction was that she was in trouble. She pretended to not see them and got up. When she was about to leave, Janine called out, “Number one beauty! Long time no see!”Number one beauty!She had not heard this name in a long while. Natalie had even forgotten about this and yet, there were still people who remembered.In fact, there were still people who would call her this.If they were just greeting her, it was not necessary for them to call her that, right? So, was this an incoming threat?Natalie had been through so much that she had tried her best to remain low profile. She would not cause trouble, would not look for trouble, and would not ask for trouble…However, trouble was a peculiar thing. T
