All Chapters of Five Years Later, He Goes Wild for Her Again: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Natalie didn't like being regarded as a shameless bitch. She also didn't want Austin to get hurt because of her. However, she didn't have any other choice.An hour later, the car slid into the suburbs and stopped in a parking lot a slight distance away from Natalie's rented apartment."Thanks."She didn't know why Austin decided to park here. She just thanked him and got out of the car.She'd only just begun walking out of the parking lot when she realized that Austin was following her as well. She turned around and looked at him in confusion."What are you doing?"Austin put his phone and keys into his pants pocket and said, "I'm coming up with you to get my umbrella."Natalie was unusually calm about it. "I'll get someone to drop it off at your place tomorrow.""I might as well get it myself since I'm already here.""It's too late. And inconvenient for me."The warm yellow streetlights shone down on both of them, casting a soft halo around them. Their surroundings were eeri

Austin's heart would probably break the moment Natalie ever cried out in pain.However, there were exceptions.He had been quite rough and heartless with her the first time they slept together. No matter how she tried shoving him off, crying and begging him to stop, or exclaiming loudly in pain, he still wouldn't let up.He just had no idea how strong he was or how rough he was being with her. He nearly made her pass out in pain and exhaustion in the end.Afterward, he explained that since he had no prior experience, he did some "research" online, watched some videos, and genuinely couldn't tell if Natalie had been screaming in pain or pleasure.That was also the only time he apologized and felt guilty for the longest time.Memories flowed through Natalie's mind like molten lava, making her heart throb in pain. Austin turned to look at her after he was done applying the ointment to her wound.Natalie's cheeks flushed the moment their eyes met. Her thoughts quickly snapped back

After calming down for a long while, Austin forced a smile on his face that looked more like a grimace. He nodded with his lips tightly pressed together before letting out a long sigh.His eyes burned with disappointment, but he didn't say another word. He just turned resolutely, grabbed his suit jacket and tie as he passed the couch, and strode out of the apartment.Natalie leaned weakly against the wall, watching him leave.She felt as though a huge chunk of her heart had just been hacked off. It hurt so much that she couldn't breathe anymore. She clapped her hands tightly over her mouth to stop herself from making a sound as she cried and broke down in bitter tears that streamed down her face like a broken dam.She then slowly slid down to the floor against the wall until she was crouching. She couldn't stop her body from trembling, but she still held her hand to her mouth, letting the sobs escape only through her throat.Her vision turned blurry with tears, and her face and th

"I'm not going there," Natalie said with a shake of her head. This wasn't about the apartment or the price.She wanted to live here so that she could continue investigating Betty. She'd been wanting to move to this neighborhood half a year ago, but the rent had been very expensive, and there were few, if any, available places to rent. That was the only reason why her plans had been postponed until now.She'd finally managed to rent Hestia's vacant apartment for half the market price now, and she was definitely not moving out.More importantly, Austin's apartment was just across the hall from Emily's, and it was going to be incredibly annoying if she kept running into her.Austin took out his phone and opened up the chat window with Shane, showing it to Natalie."You're a lawyer. You should know better than me that verbal chat agreements and transfer records hold legal effect, don't you?"Natalie went silent.Austin continued. "I had already moved into this apartment half a month

The document even required both parties' signatures and thumbprints for it to be legally binding.Austin set down his water bottle and leaned back against the couch, going through each line meticulously. After he was done, he picked up a pen and signed his name on the line. Then, he pressed his thumb into the pre-prepared inkpad and stamped it on the document.Natalie returned just then with two large grocery bags in her hands.She looked up, her gaze meeting Austin's deep, dark eyes, and she felt taken aback for a moment.After all, she'd been living on her own for five years, and suddenly, she was cohabiting with another man who also happened to be her ex-boyfriend.It was a little unsettling, and she would need some time to get used to it.She averted her gaze and changed into some indoor slippers before entering."Have you signed the contract?""It's signed." He then took out his phone and handed it to her.Natalie looked at it and asked, "What?""About the 'mutual assist
