Chapter 42
When her mind cleared slightly, she finally remembered that she was on Oliver’s bed. If memories served, she had slept at the edge of the bed. But she was lying in the middle of the bed at the moment. The spot next to her was empty. Oliver was gone. She reached out and touched the warm sheet that carried Oliver’s unique scent, blushing.
She covered her face, wondering how she had moved to the middle of the bed, but nothing came up. After all, she was a heavy sleeper. Soon, she quickly lifted the blanket and checked her clothes. She sighed in relief when she saw that nothing was out of the ordinary. Before she could relax fully, Oliver’s voice made her tense up again. “I’m not interested in your flat chest,” he taunted.
A fully dressed Oliver walked out of the closet with a cold expression. Nobody could tell from his indifferent exterior that he moved Natalie to the middle of the bed at night and woke up with her in his arms that morning.
“I was just checking,” Natalie said sheepishly. She felt bad for jumping to conclusions and misunderstanding him.
Oliver ignored her and left the room.
Natalie clicked her tongue and looked down at her chest. ‘Flat chest? I’m a C cup!‘ she thought.
In the living room.
Henry and the others were seated on the couch.
Oliver sat alone on another couch. He leaned on the couch lazily with his legs crossed as he tapped at his phone. As usual, his face was hidden behind his mask, enhancing his aloof and elegant vibe.
Natalie looked at the crowd and felt that Oliver was deliberately putting on a façade for the others. Those who looked down on him had no idea about his true strength at all.
Sitting next to Adrian, Hailey smiled gently and said teasingly, “Natalie, you and Mr. Oliver are so lovey–dovey. Look. You’re even wearing matching clothes.”
In the morning, the maid had brought Natalie a white half–sleeved dress with black prints. She looked graceful and elegant in the dress. As for Oliver, he had always liked dark clothes and was wearing a black shirt with white stripes. At first glance, it looked like they were wearing matching clothing, even though it was not intentional. Nonetheless, they still looked good together.
When Natalie glanced at Oliver, he happened to look up, and their eyes met briefly. She quickly averted her gaze, feeling a little uncomfortable.
However, Oliver found their matching clothing was a fancy coincidence.
Adrian clenched his fists, annoyed by their matching clothes. He agreed with Hailey. Natalie was fickle and immature. It hadn’t been long since their break up, yet she had already started playing a loving wife for Oliver!
“Hailey, you’re Adrian’s girlfriend. Although they’re close in age, Oliver is still Adrian’s senior. It’s not appropriate for you to make fun of him, right?” Natalie said, deliberately bringing up the fact that Oliver was Adrian’s uncle.
¡
Hailey’s smile froze, but she could not refute Natalie’s words.
A faint smile flashed across Oliver’s face over Natalie’s words,
Suddenly, Edwin asked, ‘Natalie, where did you go last night?”
Natalie looked at Hailey coldly and replied, “Well, didn’t you know the answer.”
“How would I know? Natalie, I was worried about you all night. I even went out with Adrian to look for you. You shouldn’t run off. This isn’t your house. More importantly, you made everyone worry.” Hailey said with a hint of reproach, sounding like an elder sister educating her naughty younger sister. Her tone wasn’t harsh, but she effectively shifted all the blame to Natalie.
