All Chapters of Opening My Eyes to Reality: Chapter 321 - Chapter 330

Natalie had always assumed Rowan was infertile, but the truth was he could have children. So, why didn't he want a child of his own?"Talie, do you really want to have my children?"The question caught her off guard. She had never really thought about it. To be honest, it felt risky to agree to have his child right now. Their marriage wasn't stable, and they didn't know each other well enough. If the relationship hit rough patches or if Rowan did something unforgivable, then the child would suffer the most.She wasn't going to let her child take that risk. That was why she had made the painful decision to terminate her pregnancy with Jason back then, too."Whether I want to have a baby or not is a different matter than you not letting me have one. I can choose not to have a baby, but it can't be because you're stopping me."Rowan's smile was indulgent enough to melt Natalie. "My wife is a genius with logic. No wonder you're so successful in your career."Natalie pushed his hand

Everyone was stunned as they exchanged meaningful glances.Pamela, as passive-aggressive as ever, whispered, "You all really shouldn't mention this in front of Ro. I'd feel awful if it ended up affecting their relationship."Howard frowned. His impression of Natalie plummeted, and he genuinely believed she wasn't worthy of Rowan.The group got back to their conversations, chatting about everything under the sun.Rowan and Natalie arrived fashionably late. The moment they walked in, all eyes fell on them. Howard had been really looking forward to meeting Natalie at first, but after hearing what Pamela had to say, his enthusiasm cooled.He didn't even spare Natalie a glance, focusing entirely on Rowan. "Ro, you're finally here. We've been waiting for you. Come, come! Here's your drink."As he spoke, he handed Rowan a glass while subtly nudging Natalie to the side.Natalie froze for half a second, during which Pamela approached her. Natalie was surprised to see her there. On the wa

Rowan just stood there, looking at Natalie and falling even deeper in love with her.She was so remarkable and so dazzling—how could he not love her? He felt like the best decision he had ever made in his life was to love Natalie."Okay," Rowan answered.After the two left, the private room fell silent for a long time.Howard lit a cigarette, his brows tightly furrowed and never relaxing. Pamela was seething, and jealousy tore through her, especially when she recalled the way Rowan looked at Natalie.Rowan had been proud and untouchable for the past 20 years, and he had never once shown his tenderness to anyone. So how could he give his last bit of gentleness to some tramp he had only known for a short while?She downed the glass of hard liquor in her hand as jealousy clouded her eyes. "What tricks did that woman pull to make the ever-rational Ro turn his back on us, his friends?"Howard wasn't mad at Rowan for hitting him. Instead, he placed all the blame on Natalie. It was jus

Pamela's expression grew even uglier. The poised and elegant facade she always wore had cracked, and underneath it was her true self—a woman twisted with bitter jealousy."It seems like I underestimated you, Natalie. You're more formidable than I thought. No wonder your ex-husband was taken down by you. But as long as I'm still here, don't even think about turning Ro into your next victim. I won't stand by and do nothing."Natalie found her laughable. "Don't make it sound so noble. Stop pretending you're doing this out of the goodness of your heart. You're just jealous of me, Pamela. Why bother dressing it up as righteous indignation?"Pamela refused to admit it. She insisted on standing on the moral high ground, casting judgment on Natalie.Now that the gloves were off, Pamela's friendly pretense had long since vanished. She stood up slowly, her gaze locked on Natalie sitting on the couch."I only see Rowan as a brother. It's you who sees everything through a filthy lens. I came

Publicly announcing Jason's identity was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Rowan.His eyes darkened. "He wants everyone to know exactly where he stands, including me."The words had just left his mouth when the office door was pushed open.Landon glanced over, his eyes far too hostile. "Mr. Mattel Senior, do you have business with Mr. Rowan?"Gregory didn't even spare him a glance as he barked, "Get out!"Landon was firmly on Rowan's side, and he only listened to his orders. If Rowan didn't say anything, then he wouldn't move. He stood his ground until Rowan said softly, "Landon, wait outside."Landon nodded and left the office.Rowan stayed seated, facing Gregory. He had no intention of standing up. He crossed his arms over his chest as his brows raised slightly, a half-smile playing on his lips.Gregory took a deep breath, clearly displeased. "Ro, I've warned you not to touch Lorcan. Why won't you listen?"Rowan grinned, looking as if he couldn't care less. "He's supposed to
