Chapter 26
“I…I don’t… You…” Natalie flushed violently in a second. She wanted to explain, but…
“You what?” Oliver raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of warning.
Natalie resignedly nodded, thinking, ‘Whatever you say!‘
She really didn’t want to discuss this topic with him!
“Ol…Uncle.” Adrian looked at Oliver with an embarrassed expression. Just a moment ago, he was casually calling him Oliver. But he didn’t dare to do so in front of Oliver and could only obediently call him Uncle.
And.. Oliver was standing behind Natalie, his posture a show of absolute protection and possession!
Maybe…they really had slept together?!
Oliver glanced at Adrian aloofly, as if he was merely a servant, and said, “Adress Natalie properly.”
“Uncle Oliver, Natalie and I are friends, and we…”
Oliver’s expression darkened, and he cut Adrian off. “Adrian, she’s your aunt–in–law. You should call her Aunt Natalie.”
Adrian reluctantly turned to Natalie before muttering, “Aunt Natalie.”
The title left Natalie both amused and satisfied in an indescribable way.
Just a few minutes ago, Adrian was acting all tough, yet now he had to respect Natalie despite how reluctant he was.
“Why are you still here? Natalie and I are gonna have a moment. Do you wanna stay and watch us?” Oliver seemed inexplicably displeased by Adrian’s enamored gaze and shielded Natalie from Adrian.
Natalie didn’t pay attention to Oliver’s unusual affectionate attitude toward her. “Adrian, Hailey must be looking for you.”
She was implying that he should leave.
Natalie and Oliver were acting like a real couple and it was driving Adrian crazy.
“Uncle Oliver, since you’re back, you should say hi to Grandfather. I’m going.” Adrian glanced at Natalie with mixed feelings and left with long strides, fists clenching by his sides.
As he walked away, he thought, ‘What was so good about that ugly freak Oliver?
‘He couldn’t even show his face in public and he could have Natalie. Why couldn’t I?‘
Suddenly, Adrian had an idea and it cheered him up greatly. As Oliver can sleep with her, I can too.‘
The Windsor’s mansion was lush and serene,
After Adrian’s departure, Natalie felt the power and strength emanating from Oliver even more distinctly.
She bit her lip and tried to break free from his embrace, but with a single movement, he pushed her against the rockery. Trapped between him and the rockery, she couldn’t move. Oliver’s presence became even more overwhelming.
“You’ll take care of me and you like me?”
Oliver found Natalie’s awkward and helpless demeanor quite pleasing to the eye.
Growing up, it was the first time Oliver knew what it felt like to be protected by someone.
In the eyes of others, Oliver was so powerful that he didn’t need protection.
Even when he was merely a child, he never showed any signs of weakness.
Natalie was unlike others. She was defenseless in front of him, but she called him a good husband and told his family that she would like him even though all of them didn’t.

Chapter 26
Oliver couldn’t come up with a proper description of his feelings when Charles repeated her words to kin
Like a clear spring flowing through barren soil?
Like dawn breaking through the darkness?
Perhaps these words are a little exaggerated, but he definitely felt something similar.
“It’s not… Oliver, I didn’t know what I was talking about earlier! Please don’t take it seriously! Natalie was afraid of his reaction.
(I highly recommend a captivating book that I couldn’t put down for three days and nights. It’s incredibly engaging and a must–read. The title of the book is “Easy Divorce, Hard Remarriage” You can find it by searching for it in the search bar.
Here is the synopsis of the book:
My husband fell in love with another woman and wanted a divorce. I agreed.
Getting divorced was easy, but getting back together won’t be so simple.
After the divorce, my ex–husband discovered that I am the daughter of a wealthy family. He fell in love with me again and even knelt down to beg me to remarry him.
To this, I had only one word: “Get lost!“)
