Chapter 477 Do You Know Him
The next morning, Natalie opened her eyes and saw Bastien sitting by her bed. His chin rested on his hand, and his eyes were closed. It seemed like he had stayed by her side the entire night.
The morning light fell on his perfect face, making him even more attractive.
It was not usual to describe a man as pretty. However, Natalie felt that it was the perfect word for him.
When Natalie was engrossed in staring at Bastien, the latter opened his eyes.
Natalie was slightly startled. She immediately started a conversation. “Mr. Nine, why are you here?”
Bastien did not reply, but he took the thermos on the table and opened it. The fragrance of chicken soup filled the entire room.
“Have some soup. It will help in recovery.”
Natalie indeed felt a little hungry after a long night. Without hesitation, she drank the soup.
“How’s the taste?”
“It’s delicious.”
In the blink of an eye, Natalie finished the soup.
“Mr. Nine, thank you.” Natalie leaned forward and put the bowl on the headboard.
Bastien furrowed his brows. Why does she keep calling me Mr. Nine?
“Don’t call me Mr. Nine.”
“Then what should I call you?” Natalie asked.
“Bastien.” Bastien grabbed an apple and started peeling it. “Only my subordinates call me Mr. Nine. You are not one. So there is no need to address me like that.”
“Okay. I will call you by your name then.”
Natalie looked utterly attractive when she smiled.
“Bastien, you’ve helped me. We are friends now. If you need my help in the future, I will try my best to help you!”
Bastien displayed a complicated smile. “Okay. I will ask you if I need help.”
A short while later, there was some noise at the door.
“Get out of my way! My boss is inside!”
It was Yandel’s voice. Natalie told Bastien, “He is my subordinate. Can you ask your men to let him in?”
Bastien opened the door and made a gesture to Joseph. With that, Joseph did not block the visitor anymore.
Yandel’s heart skipped a beat as his eyes locked on Bastien.
He had never expected that he would run into the latter in Chanaea after he left Loang.
In fact, he had to bow down to the latter in Loang even though he was the son of a warlord. Never did he expect he would see the latter taking care of Natalie.
Yandel was dumbstruck for a long while.
“Yandel!”
He regained his senses only after Natalie called his name.
“Boss, are you all right?” Yandel stepped anxiously toward the bed and stared at Natalie.
“It’s just some minor injuries. I will recover after two days.”
“That’s good then.”
Yandel was worried when he heard from Wendy and Lucas saying that Natalie was injured. He had to come check on her personally.
Since Yandel had arrived, Natalie turned to Bastien. “My man is here. You don’t have to accompany me anymore. You’ve helped me too much. If you continue to stay, I wouldn’t know how to repay you!”
Natalie did not like to owe anyone a favor.
It would be a burden for her if she could not pay it back.
Bastien’s smile faded after hearing Natalie’s rejection.
Even though she sounded like she did not want to trouble him, he knew she was trying to draw the lines.
If he tried to get close at this point, she would put her guards up against him.
Plus, the current situation in Loang was unstable. If she stayed close to him, it might create unnecessary troubles for her. He figured he should settle everything on his hands first and then find other ways to approach her.
With that, he did not insist anymore. “Okay. Call me if there is anything.”
“Sure.”
Bastien left the ward with Joseph.
Yandel still stood by the bed, staring at Bastien’s retreating figure.
“Yandel, do you know Mr. Nine?” Natalie put a slice of apple into her mouth and glanced at Yandel.
