While taking a shower, Natalie remembered the intelligent voice communication system next to the bathtub and called Jane to assure her that everything was okay. She had planned to lie and say that nothing major had happened, but little did she know that Jane had already found the Rosewood Estate."Jane, I have prepared myself for worse outcomes even before marrying Oliver. Our marriage isn't equal to begin with; he's bound by the engagement, and I'm bound by reality. So, it doesn't matter. You be good and don't mess things up," Natalie told Jane in this way.Natalie's conservatism stemmed from a lack of trust in emotions.She wasn't prudish; her body should have belonged to Oliver a long time ago.What she found difficult to accept was disappointment.She had already started to let down her emotional barriers. She thought that even in a marriage without a foundation of love, she could still live harmoniously with him.But, as expected, she had been too presumptuous, too laughable!Nat

Oliver only wore a towel around his waist, his well-defined chest adorned with water droplets. The V-line disappeared into the towel, revealing six of his solid eight-pack abs.He knew Natalie wasn't sleeping because her breathing pattern was different.In less than two days, she had lost weight. Her already slim face had become even thinner, showing signs of exhaustion from her illness.Oliver stood by the bed.Bending down, Oliver kissed Natalie's forehead.Natalie couldn't help but tremble her lashes."I will take you to the engagement banquet tonight," Oliver said.Natalie kept her eyes closed and remained silent, neither agreeing nor objecting.After all, she had grown accustomed to his overbearing and domineering nature, and expressing her opinion would only be a waste of breath.Noticing Natalie's calm face and lack of color, Oliver, feeling downcast, left the room and made a call to Charles.Jane was very worried about Natalie but couldn't gauge her current situation and didn'

It was supposed to maintain some surface peace, why was it so difficult?Jane turned around. "Are you offering me a ride?"Not counting the period of discreet monitoring, Anthony had been by Jane's side for two years, three months, and twenty-three days, and during half of that time, she had been with him.He understood Jane very well. This ambiguous expression on her face meant that she was either angry or planning something against someone.Sure enough, the next moment, the woman's smile widened. Her stunning beauty paired with her well-proportioned figure could defeat the once formidable Anthony with just a glance."I am of low standing and not worthy of riding in the same car as your boss. I am the enemy's daughter.""Get in the car." Out of Jane's sight, the man clenched his fists, veins visible on the back of his hands, suppressing something forcefully."If I get in the car, will you get out? Logically speaking, it would be disrespectful to my family if I shared a vehicle with y

Arvin inwardly criticized Oliver's taste once again and took out the first dress that he eliminated."This is the dress with the most fabric; there's nothing more than this."The assistant was also disappointed at first. Mrs. Windsor clearly had a slender figure like a clothes hanger, but it wasn't until the moment she helped Natalie put on the dress that she understood why. Mr. Windsor looked cool and ascetic, and she didn't expect him to exhaust his wife like this...Natalie felt shy, completely unaware that the assistant had already regarded Oliver as a pervert.After changing into the dress, she took off her diamond wedding ring from her neck and put it on her right ring finger."Mrs. Windsor, you're so beautiful! You have a beautiful face and a great figure. You could easily become a model." The assistant had been flying all over the world with Arvin for years and had no time to keep up with online news, hence her unfamiliarity with Natalie.Natalie was satisfied with this dress;

The long-absent feeling of relief washed over Natalie, sweeping away her frustration, and she couldn't help but lift the corners of her mouth.She also cooperatively smiled and said, "Hello!"Oliver glanced at Natalie from the corner of his eye, and that cold and somber face finally showed a hint of delight. He couldn't help but reveal a faint smile in his eyes.Oliver glanced at Hailey again. "You're still not a member of the Harrington family, so you don't have the right to call me that."Having to address her sister as "aunt" and being told that she doesn't have the right to do so is truly insulting!Adrian's face turned dark as coal instantly, and Hailey pursed her lips in silence.As darkness fell and the sunset bathed everything in a beautiful glow, a romantic cruise ship sailed towards the inland sea.Before the engagement ceremony began, guests chatted in groups of two or three, enjoying the buffet snacks.The pastry chef hired by Michelin was in charge of the snacks today, an
