Chapter 440

Author: Bodhi Blossom
Rowan had referred to himself by name and not "Dad" or "Daddy". The small gesture appeased Rowley by a little.

Rowley slipped into his soft bedroom slippers and padded toward the window. "I can't sleep anyway, so yeah, we can talk."

Rowan couldn't see Rowley's expression, but he could picture Rowley's proud expression. He sat in his car and lifted his gaze to the bright bedroom window on the second floor of the villa. "Thank you."

Rowan was so polite that even Rowley felt a little awkward. "So, uh, you can go ahead and tell me what this is about. I'm listening."

Landon had told Rowan before that if he wished to get Natalie back, he had to first win Rowley over. Rowan hadn't understood the advice before, but after what he went through the last two days, he finally did.

His fingers clenched around his phone. "Rowley, I wanted to apologize to you for not recognizing you the first time we met. Also, I wanted to make my position clear—no matter how hard or impossible it gets, I will ne

    Natalie studied Marie for a moment before turning to the socialite behind her. "Have I ever offended you, ma'am?"The socialite had heavy makeup and was dressed in polished, opulent clothing from head to toe. "I'm Aloysius Hoffman's mother. I've heard quite a bit about you, Ms. Sutton."So this was Aloysius's mother, Felicia Weaver. He didn't resemble her much.Though Felicia's tone was rude, Natalie decided to show her some courtesy for Aloysius' sake. "Oh, so you're Mrs. Hoffman. Since you like this lipstick, I don't mind buying it for you as a gift."As a regular at the boutique, Natalie only needed to give the sales assistant a look. "Wrap it up for Mrs. Hoffman and put it on my account.""Right away, Ms. Sutton," the sales assistant promptly responded and moved quickly, pulling a fresh lipstick from the display. After boxing it neatly, she handed it over to Felicia.Felicia accepted it from the sales assistant with a cold glance, and her expression hardened even more. "Did y

    The woman flinched under Rowan's unfriendly stare. She hadn't expected a so-called kept man to carry that kind of intimidating presence. Even her husband, who made millions of dollars a year, couldn't match.She said nothing more and quickly looked away, embarrassed. Instead, she struck up a conversation with someone else.When the parenting class began, Rowan was the most attentive person in the room.Outside, Landon waited and watched through the glass wall, amused and impressed. Rowan was honestly a genius to even think of coming to parenting class.He pulled out his phone, filmed a short video, and sent it to Natalie.At that moment, Natalie was hanging out with Bella. When the latter learned that Rowan had regained his memory, her jaw dropped in disbelief, and it took her a while to cover."This is it, Nat. Your hard days are finally over. With his memory back, he'll come back to you without you having to win him over."Natalie took a sip of juice, looking utterly melanchol

    After a moment's thought, Rowan asked, "How is it going with Lucius?"Landon almost laughed at that. "At first, he thought Jason would be easy to punch around. Leveraging his status as the major shareholder, he tried to suppress Jason, who played dumb and acted gentle and compliant until Lucius let his guard down."Then, he struck back hard and left Lucius completely devoured."Rowan let out a quiet laugh. "Lucius has always paid the price for his arrogance, but he might still be useful."Landon nodded. Though Lucius had been terribly manipulated by Jason, he held shares in Mattel Group and remained one of its biggest shareholders. There was value in that.After a pause, Rowan's smile faded as he sternly asked, "Is there any progress on the curse?"All this time, he'd believed his failing health was due to some rare illness. It wasn't until after his fall from the cliff that he learned the truth. It wasn't a natural condition. Instead, someone had planted a fate-bound curse ins

    Rowan told Pamela the truth and left nothing up for interpretation. "You were wrong. I never loved you. The love you thought we shared was strictly one-sided on your part. Besides, I only showed up here to hash things out with you."We were never intimate in the last three years, and from now on, we aren't friends anymore. Do you understand?"With that, Rowan left. As he brushed past Pamela, she tried to grab his sleeve. Her fingers came close to grazing him, but he dodged slightly as if already anticipating contact, moving so instinctively that one might think he was side-stepping a branch that got in his way.Pamela watched in devastation as he left. She scrambled to get out of bed and chased after him, yelling, "No, I won't give up so easily, Rowan! Did you think Natalie would take you back just because we didn't sleep together? She wouldn't!"She's too proud to tolerate your betrayal! You and I will end up in the same boat, Rowan. We'll never get the love we want!"The hem of

    Rowan shot to his feet. "I understand."After hanging up, he regarded Natalie with some diffidence and said, "Natalie, something came up, and I have to go."Natalie might not know what had been said over the phone, but she could guess it. She asked softly, looking unfazed, "Does it have something to do with Pamela?"Rowan didn't want to lie to her, so he frowned and nodded. "She attempted to take her own life. I should go check up on her."Natalie was right about Pamela being involved somehow. She said nothing, but Rowan walked up to her anyway and said, "Natalie, I need to sort things out with Pamela. Wait for my call."He hurried out of the restaurant after that.Natalie was surprisingly calm despite Rowan's sudden leave. The waiter came by her table and asked kindly, "Miss, would you still like us to bring out your order?"Now that she was alone, there was no way she could finish all that food, hence the waiter's question. Natalie flashed the waiter a smile nonetheless and re
