Chapter 479

Author: Bodhi Blossom
The entire private room had erupted in an uproar that night. Rowan only learned what had happened much later, when Natalie casually mentioned it during a chat.

Bella's expression immediately darkened. "Of all things to bring up, you pick that? Let's replace him, Natalie. His mouth runs too loose."

She grabbed her glass and downed it in one gulp.

Now that she recalled the scene back then, the only men present were Victor, Aloysius, Benjamin, and Landon.

Bethany had been sitting right beside Victor, and Aloysius was openly trying to win Natalie over. Besides, Benjamin was too much of a close friend whom she met all the time. Kissing him would make her a lifetime joke.

That left Landon, whom she was not too familiar with but was acquainted with. Most importantly, he was someone she might not see again for ages. So, to go big or go home, Bella kissed Landon.

Listening to Rowan and Bella's banter, Natalie offhandedly remarked, "But I can't bear to give him up."

Her words pleased Rowa

    Before Marie could react, Rowan had already stood behind Natalie and begun kneading her shoulder. "My wife has enough on her plate as the breadwinner of our family. How could I possibly add to her burdens?"The fact that other men have their eye on her just proves what a magnetic force she is. They've got excellent taste."Marie gaped at him, tongue-tied. Why did Rowan sound like a gigolo? Could he truly be one? But that seemed at odds with the way he carried himself. As far as she was concerned, he should be someone rich and powerful—the boss of a big, successful company, at the very least.Natalie tried to keep herself from laughing. Rowan, on the other hand, had completely immersed himself in the role. "How does that feel, babe? Let me know if you need me to go a little harder. I'll adjust accordingly."Marie pointed at Rowan in disbelief. "A-Are you her pet? Like a gigolo or something?"Rowan gave her an aggrieved look. "Well, that's just plain rude. Does being a stay-at-home

    The beautiful woman wore a puff-sleeved, light yellow dress that cut off at her knees. Her skirts flared out from her waist, which was cinched with a matching yellow bow.On her feet were white Mary Janes, paired with ankle-length, lace-trimmed socks. The outfit was tied together with a small, pearl-chain purse.The woman approached Rowan and Natalie's table, though her gaze was fixed on the former.Natalie thought the woman looked familiar, but she couldn't quite recall where she'd seen her until the woman stopped in front of Rowan."Isn't it funny how fate works? We keep running into each other like this! How about we exchange numbers?" the woman asked.Natalie finally remembered where she'd seen the woman before. Wasn't this the young lady whom Felicia wanted Aloysius to settle down with? If Natalie remembered correctly, the young lady's name was Marie.Smiling, Natalie continued eating her pizza, only to hear Rowan say, "Sorry, but I'll only give my number if my wife agrees t

    Rowan glared at Malcolm, wondering if the latter was oblivious or simply an idiot. "Are you full?""Huh?" Malcolm blinked."If you aren't, I'll ring up ten pizzas for you to-go. Surely those are enough to fill you up back home," Rowan bit out.Malcolm couldn't believe his luck, and he didn't hesitate to accept Rowan's offer. "You sure are generous, Mr. Mattel! Thanks."With that, he hunkered down on the rest of his food.Rowan drew a deep breath. "Aren't you going to leave?"Baffled, Malcolm lifted his gaze to Rowan, then blinked. It took him a while to process what Rowan was implying. "Oh, right, got it!"As he rose from his seat, he stuffed a slice of pizza and several mozzarella sticks into his mouth like a chipmunk would with acorns. Then, he mumbled around the food, "Could you throw in the seafood platter for me, too, Mr. Mattel?"Rowan didn't know if he should be impressed or exasperated with Landon's choice of friends. He let out a low, sullen hum of agreement, and it wa

    Rowan shot Malcolm an icy glare. "Necromancy?"Malcolm let out a dry chuckle. "Just kidding. I'm a little caught off-guard by your sudden return. That's all. But from the looks of it, you do look and sound like a living human being."Malcolm and Landon were friends, a fact that Natalie learned only after Rowan had fallen off a cliff and disappeared. As it turned out, Malcolm had reached out to her years ago and offered to help her find incriminating evidence on Jason because of Rowan.She often wondered how much Rowan had been secretly helping her. Landon had told her he wasn't sure, either, but in any case, Rowan had helped her on so many occasions that he'd lost count.Malcolm had been investigating on Natalie's behalf this round, too. He was arrested for trespassing after he broke into a private residence in search of leads and evidence.Natalie transferred Malcolm 100 thousand dollars after they piled into the car.Malcolm grinned. "As always, it's a pleasure doing business w

    Jason chuckled, breaking the silence. "Grandpa, surely you realize that if anyone else finds out about Ravenhold Tower, your hopes and dreams will be dashed for good."Gregory shot Jason a grave look. "Is that a threat?"Unfazed, Jason sneered, "Don't make it sound like I'm doing something bad, Grandpa. I'm simply looking out for my own interests. You'll enjoy your old age for as long as I'm alive and well."Besides, if my identity is exposed, the fact that you pulled me out of death row would come to light. You'll be implicated. I doubt you'd be so foolish and brash as to dig your own grave."Furious, Gregory burst into a violent coughing fit. Jason pretended to be civil as he handed Gregory water, but Gregory pushed his hand away and snapped, "All of you are useless ingrates!"Jason wasn't the least bit angry with Gregory. He'd never known a family's warmth, and the only love he'd ever experienced was from Natalie.Looking back, the three years of their marriage had been the ha

    Gregory was well aware of what Natalie wanted, but he had his own concerns. "Be careful not to cross the line, Natalie."Natalie laughed. "You're quite the loving grandfather, Mr. Mattel Senior, but have you forgotten that Lorcan isn't your only grandchild? More importantly, from what I've heard, you people haven't been able to make him conceive a child despite years of effort. Is that right?"She glanced at Jason, only to see him scowl. He glowered at her menacingly.He'd always believed that any woman who underwent the necessary biological changes could give him a child, but little did he know, his genetics were so special that he'd already lucked out when he found Natalie. Even so, she was his one-in-a-million chance.The women who'd undergone biological changes for him had been a waste of time and resources. In other words, they were meaningless experiments.Gregory fell silent, as if considering Natalie's words.Jason, however, raked his predatory, vicious gaze over Natalie
