All Chapters of Opening My Eyes to Reality: Chapter 411 - Chapter 420

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

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.

Three years ago, Magnus had severely injured Jason while trying to avenge Rowan. Back then, Natalie had used "Ravenhold Tower" to temporarily scare Gregory into not making a move, and instead of forcing Magnus to take responsibility, Gregory let him go.But in truth, Natalie didn't really know much about Ravenhold Tower. She had only found evidence of Rowan digging into the matter in his study, but he hadn't uncovered anything crucial.If Gregory had asked her more about it then, he would've realized that she was only bluffing. But from his reaction, Natalie could tell that Gregory was very wary when it came to Ravenhold Tower. And so, for the past three years, she hadn't stopped digging into it.And now, she had finally gotten some leads.They walked all the way back to Natalie's office. Landon closed the door, and his expression turned serious."Ravenhold Tower was one of Mattel Group's projects from over 20 years ago. Many companies bid on it back then, but Mattel Group won the

The air between Natalie and Rowan thickened with tension, especially when Natalie's vibrant red lips inadvertently brushed against the corner of Rowan's mouth, making his eyes widen just slightly.As Rowan didn't give her an answer, Natalie's smile grew even more seductive. "Stephen, does your fiancée know how attentive you are with other women?"Her voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to rattle Rowan. Yet, he was a willing participant in this magnetic push-and-pull. "Natalie, tell me about my past."Ever since seeing her that night and hearing the things she said, he had been both intentionally and unwittingly testing Pamela. At the same time, he'd asked a few trusted individuals to look into things. He had never thought to dig into these matters before, but now, he wanted to know what had happened three years ago and what kind of past he had shared with Natalie.Natalie let go of his tie with a faint smile playing on her lips. "Why not ask your fiancee?"Rowan straightened up

Natalie sped the whole way, not even sure how many red lights she had run until she finally reached the hospital.Over the past three years, she had been to the hospital countless times, and at this point, she could find her way around with her eyes closed. She hurriedly dashed down the hallway and stopped at the door to Wanda's room. Inside lay a little girl so tiny that she made the bed look even bigger.Wanda's face was deathly pale, and her lips were a bluish-purple. When she saw Natalie, her beautiful eyes lit up instantly. "Mommy!"She flashed Natalie a sweet smile, trying her best to ease her worry.Natalie choked back a sob and blinked away the mist in her eyes. She plastered a smile on her face as she walked over to Wanda. "Did my little sweetheart miss me?"Wanda grinned, showing her pearly white teeth. "I missed Mommy the most. Can I get a kiss?"Natalie sat down beside her and planted a gentle kiss on Wanda's chubby little cheek. Looking at all the machines connected
