Chapter 415

Author: Bodhi Blossom
As if compelled, Rowan picked up a quiche and took a bite. The flaky crust enveloped a medley of creamy and savory ingredients. He had never known that quiches could be so delicious.

In just two bites, Rowan had finished the quiche.

With perfect timing, Natalie handed him another just as he swallowed the last bite. Before long, all the quiches in her lunchbox were gone, but he still felt like he hadn't had enough.

Natalie beamed. "They're really good, aren't they?"

They were. They suited his taste buds perfectly. But how did she know that he'd like quiches?

Rowan asked a question that had been on his mind since the night before. "Did we know each other before?"

Natalie wasn't in a rush to answer. Someone as smart as him didn't need her to spell things out. She fastened her seat belt and sat up straight.

"You don't trust me, so I can say it until my mouth runs dry, but it still won't matter. But I can tell you one thing for sure—I like you. I really, really like you, and I would

    Rowan froze for a moment before answering, "I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk downstairs."That was the first time in three years that he had ever lied to Pamela. And he couldn't quite explain why. He just subconsciously didn't want her to know that Natalie was living next door.Pamela walked over gracefully, reaching to wrap her arms around his waist, but Rowan dodged instinctively.Her hands froze in the air, and she looked up at him in confusion. "What's… wrong?"Rowan shoved his hands into his pockets, a trace of doubt crossing his expression. "Pamela, were we really dating before?"Pamela's face instantly paled. Flustered, she asked, "Do you think I'd lie to you, Stephen? Besides, you've seen the photos. Those are proof of us being together."When he first woke up three years ago, Pamela was the first face he saw, and she had claimed that she was his fiancée. At first, he didn't believe her, not until she showed him a whole stack of photos of the two of them together.

    Natalie was wearing a champagne-colored silk nightgown, with her long, shapely legs peeking out from underneath it. Her feet, in crystal slippers, tapped lightly on the floor, each step landing squarely on Rowan's heart. The slightly open neckline fell right within his line of sight. Her expression was part innocent and part enticing, and when her lashes lowered, the shadows they cast hinted at something that couldn't be verbalized."Pamela has said a lot of bad things about me, hasn't she?"Her fingers were still hooked in his belt, and since they were so close, she could clearly see every change in his expression.Her beautiful eyes locked onto his pupils, her red lips moving closer to his jaw. "Have I ever said anything bad about her to you? So, I'm sure you have some idea of who the two of us are as people."To be honest, she did want to spill all of Pamela's true colors to Rowan, but she wasn't sure how much he'd believe her or whether he'd even believe her at all.At least

    Okay?Natalie froze. By the time she looked back up, Rowan had already disappeared from the balcony. Seconds later, there was a knock at the door.Her heart leaped to her throat. She hurried to open the door, and sure enough, Rowan was standing right there.He didn't hesitate either, striding inside with long steps. She closed the door behind him.The layout of the apartment was the same, but Natalie's place was considerably more minimalistic. After all, this was just her temporary residence.She followed after him but saw that he didn't sit down. Instead, he stood by the window before turning around to face her. His eyes stared straight at her, unblinkingly."Care to explain, Ms. Sutton?"They stood less than ten feet apart.Natalie didn't rush. She grabbed a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and poured two glasses—one for herself and the other she offered to Rowan."Have a drink?"Rowan glanced at it. "I'm worried it's tainted."Natalie chuckled. "I wouldn't stoop to su

    Seeing the mess, Aloysius immediately grabbed a tissue to help Natalie clean up.At the same time, new guests arrived at the restaurant.Rowan spotted Natalie right away, along with Aloysius, who was fawning over her attentively.Pamela felt smug. She had just been wondering how to badmouth Natalie, the bitch, and now the opportunity had just fallen into her lap. Feigning surprise, she exclaimed, "Isn't that Ms. Sutton?"He wasn't blind. He could see her. He clearly had no relationship with Natalie—they were barely even friends—yet the scene before him felt especially glaring.Rowan grunted in response without even bothering to avert his gaze.Pamela seized the chance to continue, "Stephen, I'm really not trying to speak ill of her, but she has a habit of seducing men to get them to do her bidding. She seduced you in Mirethia, and now that she's back in Grendale, she's started seducing other men. There's no way a woman like that is a good one."She clung to Rowan's arm and said

    In Grendale, news of Rowan's arrival reached Natalie as soon as the plane touched down. Landon delivered it, but he stammeringly added, "And… Pamela came with him."Natalie's gaze cooled, though her tone remained even. "I expected her to come with him."Landon let out a long sigh. Honestly, what was Rowan thinking to have gotten himself tangled with Pamela? Just that thought gave him a headache.As he was murmuring to himself, Natalie added, "Buy the apartment next door to his unit and the gym closest to it."Landon's eyes went wide in shock. It took him a long moment to recover before he finally said, "So, this is what it's like when a wealthy woman tries to win a man over. That's quite an eye-opener, Natalie."Money wasn't something Natalie cared about. Right now, she was focused on creating every possible opportunity for herself.She shot him a look. "Just go and get it done. Stop talking.""I'm on it," he replied, grinning from ear to ear.…After landing in Grendale, Rowa
