Adrian's eyes went wide. He almost couldn't believe his own eyes.He instinctively rubbed his eyes, only to realize that the person standing before him really was Natalie.This meant that she was the very woman Carlton had called "the woman he loved".Adrian asked, "Nat? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at home?"Natalie wasn't surprised to see him. She met his gaze coldly and replied, "Mr. Carter, thanks to you, I didn't end up dying at the Carter residence. Disappointed?"Adrian looked utterly confused, as though he couldn't understand a single word Natalie was saying.She was the person he cherished most in the world. How could she possibly have died at his house?"Nat, what are you saying? I don't get it. Come on.

With his eyes closed, he looked like a meticulously sculpted piece of art.Back at the orphanage,

She no longer had to dodge the judgmental glares, stomach the cold scoffs of the Carters, or let Adrian keep her locked away.There was a time when she wasn't even permitted to set foot inside a Carter family banquet.On Adrian's birthdays, she could only watch from afar as he cut the cake, holding Olivia's hand.Even the few happy moments she had with Adrian were dictated by the Carter family's approval. She had to tread carefully, as if she were some pathetic thief who had stolen someone else's love.Now, she arrived on the red carpet. The train of her haute couture gown swept past the lights, and a pearl necklace cast a soft glow against her throat.She looked like a brand-new person—a true high-society lady.Facing the elite guests at the gala, she carried herself with effortless grace and confidence.
