Chapter 273

Author: Bodhi Blossom
Rowan slowed his steps, took a photo of Aaron, and sent it to Landon. Then, he followed up with a voice message. "Look into this Aaron Jespier. I want the most detailed information you can find."

Landon, sharp-eyed as always, zoomed in on the image and immediately noticed that the side profile in the photo was none other than Natalie.

"Oh. So, Mr. Mattel is jealous again? He wants to go digging into his romantic rival's background… again?"

Landon couldn't help himself and asked, "A rival in love?"

Rowan scoffed when he heard that. "He wishes."

He then put his phone away. Taking a few long strides toward Natalie, he took her bag from her hands.

Natalie, suddenly finding her hand empty, turned to look at Rowan in surprise.

Rowan gave her a half-smile. "I'll hold it for you. You focus on introducing the artwork to Mr. Jespier."

Rowan was a tall, dignified man, and that only made the baby-pink handbag look even smaller in his hand. She blinked at him but said nothing.

    To be honest, Natalie hadn't meant to ask that question. It had just slipped out because of the mood between them. The feelings in her chest kept growing stronger and stronger, and suddenly, the words were out of her mouth.Rowan froze for a second before he asked gently, "Talie, do you want to date me?""If I want to, will you say yes?" Natalie retorted.Rowan stared right into her eyes, the tenderness in his eyes crashing over her like a powerful tide. "I'll give you anything you want. As long as you say the words, and as long as I have it."Her face flushed uncontrollably. Why had she never noticed how easy it was for her to get flustered?Previously, when she was with Jason—in order to make her fall in love with him so he could clear a path for Sienna—he had constantly sweet-talked her.But that feeling was completely different from now. Jason's sweet talk would make her happy, but that was it. Rowan's words, however, had joy gushing from her heart—it was an indescribable sen

    Kathy's eyes widened. Susan hadn't been lying to her after all. Natalie, the divorcee, really had gotten remarried. And to be fair, Rowan wasn't bad-looking at all."Still, good looks mean nothing if he's useless. So, he can't possibly compare to my son," she huffed inwardly.She snapped viciously, "I don't care who you are, but you injured my son, so don't even think about leaving today!"Rowan was a very protective person. Regardless of the reason, he couldn't allow anyone to bully anyone he cared about, especially not Natalie, the woman he cherished above all else.His eyes darkened dangerously. "What a coincidence. I wasn't planning on leaving anyway."No way was he going to let them off the hook so easily.When they were coming down earlier in the elevator, Natalie had already filled him in on Kathy's basic background. And just a few minutes ago, Landon had sent over Lyle's detailed information as well.It was probably the first time Kathy had met someone that arrogant. "Ha

    Natalie sprang to her feet, shocked. "What? You're saying my mom and Kathy have gotten into a fight?""That's right. And it's pretty intense, too! I've never seen your mother get so angry before," Tracy answered in a rush.Without wasting another second, Natalie hung up and rushed toward the door.Hearing the commotion, Rowan came out from the kitchen and asked, "What's going on?"Anxious, Natalie answered while changing into her shoes in the entryway, "My mom and Mrs. Chroner got into a fight. I'm going to check on her."Rowan quickly untied the apron around his waist, saying, "I'm coming with you."The two of them hurried over, and a few minutes later, they were on the scene, where they saw Susan and Kathy in a full-blown fight. Neither of the middle-aged women was backing down. Both of their hair was in a tangled mess, and their faces were scratched.Seeing this, Natalie quickly jumped in to pull them apart. "Enough! Stop fighting! You two, calm down!"She quickly pulled Sus

    Natalie glanced at Rowan awkwardly, with a tiny hint of complaint in her eyes. Rowan, on the other hand, looked like a fox who had just sneaked into the chicken coop.The three of them sat down. Susan didn't say anything and buried herself in her breakfast. She finished eating as quickly as possible, then found an excuse to leave."Natalie, I'm going to class now. You and Rowan take your time."She quickly wiped her mouth, ran to her bedroom to grab her bag, and then rushed out of the apartment as fast as she could.Only after getting into the elevator did she let out a breath of relief.She did have class that morning, but it would only start at 9:30 am. If she went now, she'd arrive an hour earlier. Since she wasn't in a hurry, she decided to take a stroll around the neighborhood and digest her breakfast.As she walked, she bumped into Kathy Kleen, a woman who lived in the same complex. She was around her age, and they would sometimes even take aerobics class together.Kathy w

    Hold himself back? Wasn't Rowan supposed to be… incapable?Natalie glared at him. "From hitting me?""From sleeping with you."Her cheeks instantly flushed red. What made her even more flustered was the fact that a certain body part of his was pressing up against her.Incapable? Ha!Her mind went blank. "You said you couldn't have kids. Did you lie to me?"Rowan's lips curled into a smirk. "Not being able to have kids and not being able to have sex are two completely different things, Talie. You misunderstood."Indeed, not being able to have kids was different than being unable to have sex. So, Rowan could do it, but it was his swimmers that were the problem?Natalie's lips had become swollen from the kissing, and even speaking felt a little uncomfortable to her."Don't forget, Rowan. We're only in a contract marriage.""You said it yourself—we're legally husband and wife," Rowan teased.She was wearing a baggy nightgown, and after messing around, the area beneath her collar

    Bella's comment below read, "I get you, Natalie."Then, Benjamin and Bella started chatting in the comments, going back and forth and roughly recounting what had happened the day before.Finally, Benjamin ended the conversation with "Deserved!"Natalie continued scrolling through the comments, and sure enough, she saw Rowan's comment that consisted only of three question marks, but she couldn't be bothered to reply.Right then, she heard the door open, followed by Susan's warm greeting. "Rowan, what brings you here?"Rowan handed the breakfast he'd picked up over to her and said sweetly, "Susan, I came to bring breakfast for you and Talie. Has she gotten up yet?"Susan stared at the bountiful breakfast and said hurriedly, "Not yet. She probably won't wake up for a little while longer. Would you like to come in and wait?""Thanks, Susan," Rowan answered with a gentle smile.Susan set the breakfast out on the dining table while Rowan sat obediently on the couch to wait.He wasn'
