Five Years Later, He Goes Wild for Her Again의 모든 챕터: 챕터 51 - 챕터 60

Natalie wondered if Austin had had a girlfriend all these years.After all, if he was anything like her and remained single over the past five years, just how pent-up and frustrated could an impetuous young man like him be?They went into the apartment complex lobby and entered the elevators one after another. Natalie pressed herself against the back of the wall, while Austin pressed the button for the seventh floor and turned around to look back at her.She had been staring at the back of his head when he turned around, and the moment he turned his head around, their eyes met.They could still hide the awkwardness and shame while out in the dark woods earlier. However, now, it was extremely bright in the elevator, and the awkwardness crept back in again from the moment their gazes crossed. Natalie felt her face turn warm as she shyly averted her gaze to avoid his eyes. Her breathing became erratic, and she felt as though the elevator was too tight and cramped. She felt hot and b

Natalie was the first to regain her composure. Her voice was hoarse as she muttered under her breath, "Good night."She was extremely flustered, and her heart was in turmoil. She just tightened her hold on her water glass and hurried back into her room. She shut and locked the door behind her.Austin was left alone in the hallway, watching her retreating figure. He smiled wistfully, lowered his head, and exhaled softly.…One early morning during the weekend, Natalie was in the midst of washing up in the bathroom when she heard the doorbell ring.She hurriedly finished with her usual morning routine and grabbed a hair tie to tie her hair up while heading toward the door.Austin came in with a huge box and set it down on the coffee table in the living room."These are snow pears from Mom," he explained.Natalie was stunned. It didn't seem to have anything to do with her. So, she said, "Oh, okay," and was just about to return to her room when Austin added, "They're for you."She

If it weren't for the Coxes, Franklin would never have been wrongly imprisoned, and Natalie would never have had to fake the "cheating" scandal with Austin to make him suffer from the breakup for so long."Fine. I won't touch you. Let's go," Zeke said, swallowing again.Natalie secretly wiped away her tears and strode forward, heading toward a sandwich place.She ordered herself a lemon tea and a sandwich and began eating. Meanwhile, Zeke leaned back in his seat, putting an arm around the back of the chair while holding a cigarette in his other hand. He dangled it by the edge of the table. His legs were crossed, and he sat in a rude manner. He kept staring at her while she ate."Your ex-boyfriend killed my dog. This is obviously your fault, but now, thanks to you, the property management has been changed, and my cousin was fired. Yet you still dare to sue me? You're so shameless."Natalie remained silent and continued eating her sandwich elegantly.Zeke got angry and began shouti

Natalie walked in the direction of home while carrying a few shopping bags.Both sides of the neighborhood sidewalk were lined with tall trees. Sunlight spilled over the thick canopy of leaves, scattering dappled shadows on the ground. A cool breeze blew past, lifting the strands of hair at her forehead and bringing a hint of freshness."Nat." A clear, gentle male voice came from behind her.Natalie froze in shock and spun around. Before she could see the man's face clearly, a body that smelled heavily of cologne lunged forward and wrapped her in a hug."Surprise!" His arms clamped around her as he spoke, and his voice was full of excitement.This was no surprise. It was a scare.Natalie gently pushed him away.Caleb cupped her face in both hands. "Babe, I've missed you so much!"She gave him a bitter smile. "When did you get back?""Yesterday. I went to see Hessy first. You moved and changed your number, so I got your address from Hessy. I rushed over today to see you, you kn

Austin frowned, feeling beyond irritated. "You're a grown man. Why are you bawling like some drama queen?""Because I'm miserable! I'm in pain! My best buddy ditched me over a woman. Isn't it normal for me to cry?" Caleb exclaimed.Austin grabbed him by the collar again, forcing back his anger as he snarled, "You're sure you don't love her?"Caleb pressed a hand to his heart. "Cross my heart and hope to die. I've known Natalie for over 20 years, and I've never once been in love with her. I swear.""Then, stay away from her.""I can do that, but you can't cut me off. We need to restore our friendship and start hanging out again."Austin's eyes darkened. "Do you think that's possible?"Caleb lifted his chin. There was a fierce light flashing in his eyes as he threatened, "If you won't do it, then I'll just get together with Natalie. She's crazy about me, anyway. Even knowing I don't love her, she's still head over heels for me."Austin's grip on his collar tightened. His knuckles
