Chapter 37
Regardless of her effort, Adrian’s gaze followed Natalie. Hailey cursed inwardly, ‘It’s all that bitch’s fault.”
“Adrian, I’m so scared. Kiss me, please.” Before Adrian could react, Hailey pressed her lips against his, taking back Adrian’s attention.
Nighttime had a way of stirring up feelings.
Adrian quickly lost in Hailey’s passionate kiss. A fire started in his abdomen, and he had an urge to pin her down.
Adrian, I love you. Do you love me?”
“Yes.”
In fact, Adrian was clouded by desire and did not even know what he was saying.
When the long and passionate kiss finally came to an end, Hailey seized the opportunity and sighed with feigned concern. “It has been just half a month. And Natalie has become Oliver’s woman. However, I’m glad that they get along so well.”
Adrian thought, ‘Get along so well?‘
The words were like rubbing salt into his wound. Oliver was arrogant and never showed care toward others. Adrian was shocked when Oliver suddenly ran out in the middle of the night to look for Natalie.
Originally, Adrian had been mad at Hailey as Natalie said that Hailey forced her to marry Oliver. However, after thinking about it, he felt that Hailey only did what she did because Hailey loved him too much and did not want to marry Oliver. In comparison, Natalie was immature and couldn’t stay faithful to him. Adrian decided that she was simply not worthy of his affection!
“My goodness! What happened?!” a servant cried in shock when she saw a bloody Natalie being carried into the house.
Oliver ignored everyone and made his way upstairs, making orders without pausing. “Prepare a change of clothes for her.”
Obviously, by her, he meant Natalie.
Once Oliver disappeared up the stairs, the few servants exchanged looks and started whispering.
‘Oliver is a neat freak. However, he actually carried Natalie all the way back. Did you see how dirty she was? She wasn’t even wearing shoes. It’s disgusting!”
“That’s right. How unexpected. It seems like Natalie knows a thing or two about seducing men. She managed to capture Oliver’s heart in just a few days.”
Adrian happened to walk in and overheard the servants talking about how affectionate Natalie and Oliver were. Unsurprisingly, anger rose in his heart. He asked harshly, “What are you gossiping about?”
The servants quickly apologized.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Adrian.”
Hailey glanced at the servants and smirked. She didn’t plan this, but the servants had subconsciously helped her.
Adrian stormed back to his room, and Hailey hurriedly followed him.
As soon as the duo left, the servants could not help but start gossiping about them.
“I heard that Natalie used to be Adrian’s ex–girlfriend. Looks like Adrian still has feelings for her.”
“It’s hard to move on sometimes.”
“Although Hailey is more esteemed than Natalie, Natalie is much more beautiful and elegant. Moreover, I heard that Natalie is also much more talented.”
Natalie is Adrian’s ex–girlfriend, but she’s now Adrian’s aunt–in–law as she’s married Oliver. Hailey is her sister and Adrian’s current girlfriend. Once Hailey marries Adrian, she would have to call Natalie Aunt Natalie, right? Talk about a complicated family tree.”
“Alright, stop talking. If we’re caught gossiping about the employers, we’ll be fired!

Chapter 37
In the room.
Oliver put Natalie down and pointed at the bathroom. “Go clean up.”
“OK.”
Natalie’s head was in a muddle. So, she obediently followed Oliver’s orders, still wary of being sent back to that horrible forest.
Not long after, her scream rang from the bathroom.
Oliver rushed over and saw Natalie stare at her reflection in horror.
Natalie wore a white chiffon blouse and a pair of light khaki wide–leg pants. However, her blouse and pants were in tatters after the trip. Her white blouse was stained almost completely red by the snake’s blood.
