Natalie shook her head and bit her lower lip, trying so hard not to cry.
“You never thought that I’d like to be by your side as Sebastian Klein’s wife even if! found out the truth.Because of that, you lied to me countless times.I was so stupid to think that I was just lucky! I had even started to wonder if you and Brandon were either lovers or twins.Did you think it was fun to keep me in the dark like some fool?”
Seeing Natalie’s mounting anger, Sebastian was at a loss for words.He could only lower his head and keep silent, like a child who knew he had done something wrong 3 Sebastian had chosen not to tell her the truth because he believed it wasn’t the right time.
Now, he was tongue tied.
Seeing that Sebastian had fallen silent, Natalie stopped asking him questions Suddenly, a thought occurred to her.She stood up and asked in a panic, “Is it possible that you know Laney?”
Laney always showed up when she was in danger and had saved her on more than one occasion.She had always chalked it up to luck, but now, she wasn’t so sure.
Sebastian’s heart skipped a beat. He didn’t dare to deny it.He looked up at Natalie cautiously and said, “Yes.Laney is a bodyguard I
hired to protect you, because—”
“You don’t have to tell me anything more, Mr Larson.No wonder she’s so good at fighting Now I understand…”
Her voice trailed off to a whisper.
In the end, she looked up dejectedly and said, “My husband has been lying to me from the beginning, and so has my best friend.”
Sebastian rushed to Natalie and grabbed her wrist, explaining in a hoarse voice, “I did all those things for a reason I had no choice-”
“Get your hands off me! Stop defending yourself, Sebastian!”
With her mind in a mess, Natalie slapped Sebastian’s hand away and took two steps back. The memories of the past resurfaced in her mind.
“My name is Laney Garcia I was just passing by when I saw you fall into the river…”
“This is my house. Please make do with it first. When we have the money, we can move into a bigger house…”
“How do I know what’s real and what’s not?”
Natalie raised her head to look at Sebastian, unable to hold back her tears any longer.
Before Sebastian could say anything, tears streaming down her face.
She turned around and ran out, slamming the door shut behind her.
Natalie was so angry that her whole body was trembling Her mind was in a mess, and she felt like the whole world had been turned upside down she didn’t know what was true versus what was just deliberately created to deceive her Everything now seemed fake and strange
As soon as she walked out of the hotel, she saw that Garrett was standing outside, along with several senior executives of the
Larson Group Natalie often ran into them in the elevators “Hev.
Natalie!
Where’s Sebastian Garrett pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and smiled flatteringly if he got along well with Natalie, he would have more vacations in the future.
But upon a closer look, he realized that she was crying bitterly.
Garrett had thought that the two would reconcile, but it turned out to be the opposite.
So he immediately stopped smiling and stammered, “I’m sorry, I… Natalie simply ignored him.Looking around, she found that the senior executives of the Larson Group who should have been in that club were all standing outside.Perhaps they didn’t know what to do, so they had all waited for Sebastian here When Natalie walked out of the hotel so aggressively just now, everyone exchanged glances and then looked away.
pretending not to have seen her Natalie wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand and proceeded to leave, but Garrett stopped her
“Natalie, sometimes Sebastian’s terrible with words, but I’m with him every day.I know that he only cares about you.”
Garrett touched the back of his head awkwardly, glancing anxiously at the hotel from the corner of his eyes.
Damn it! Natalie was running away! Why hadn’t Sebastian come out to chase after his wife yet? With Garrett blocking her way.
Natalie crossed her arms over her chest and sneered.
“I’m now the wife of Mr.Larson How dare you stop me?”
Her chilling gaze sent a shiver down his spine.
Natalie and Sebastian had been together for a long time, so now even their tones were practically the same.
“Natalie, you misunderstand me.I didn’t mean to stop you.”
Seeing that Natalie was so angry, Garrett’s voice faltered.
Finally, he stepped aside and let Natalie go.
Only then did Sebastian come running.
“Why didn’t you stop her?” he asked Garrett harshly.
“Bro, your wife is angry as hell right now.I couldn’t stop her! Besides, whatever you say now might only add fuel to the fire.If she wants to leave, just let her be and give her some space. Just follow her from a distance”
Garrett wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
Sebastian was speechless.He had no choice but to chase after Natalie himself.
It was late winter now, and the night was freezing cold.
The surrounding trees were covered in a layer of white snow.
Under the dim-lighted street lamps, the woman in a red overcoat trudged in the heavy snow.
In the surrounding grey and white scenery, she was like a flickering red light.
When she saw a taxi approach, Natalie hailed it.
“Where to, Miss?”
After getting in the taxi, Natalie looked out of the window at the snow.She didn’t know where to go.She just wanted to leave this place.
“Wherever. If I want to get off, I’ll ask you to stop.”
The driver didn’t press her further and stepped on the gas.
Seeing Natalie get into a taxi, Sebastian immediately drove his own car and followed them.
Seacisco was developing rapidly and the tourism industry here was exceptional.
The taxi driver drove around several scenic spots until it was late, and the taxi slowly came to a stop at the river bank.
The sounds of the ferries came closer and closer.
The wind over the river, with cold snow, swept past Natalie’s face and went through the gap of her scarf.
“Miss, please close the window. It’s too cold outside to keep the windows ajar like that.”
The taxi driver went on to stop the car.
After driving for so long, it was now time to get more gas.
“By the way, where in the world are you going?” The driver snuck a glance at Natalie in the rearview mirror.
She was innocently beautiful, and the more he looked at her, the more charming she appeared in front of his eyes. From the rearview mirror, Natalie made eye contact with the curious driver.She wrapped her scarf around her neck and said, “Please stop at the nearest hotel ”
“Okay, let’s head out”
The drivej smacked his lips together and started the engine of the car. She was indeed a very beautiful girl and it was obvious that she had been hurt by love the taxi driver felt very bad for her. The cold wind made Natalie shiver in her seal.
She was way calmer now.
On second thought, she knew that Sebastian hadn’t done anything heinous.He just lied to her If this was someone else, they might not take this matter to heart.
Natalie wondered if she was being overreacted.
Sebastian had now become Brandon, the richest businessman in Seacisco who started from scratch.He had many good traits.He was not only young and promising but also handsome and rich.
She should feel fortunate to have such a husband.
However, there was one thing that Natalie couldn’t wrap her mind around.
Everyone around Sebastian knew about his true identity, except for her.
Why didn’t he tell her? Did she even matter in his heart? a Natalie didn’t want to return to “Brandon’s” villa.
Sebastian had also lied to her about this.
It turned out to be one of his many assets. The driver stopped at the entrance of a chain hotel, which also happened to be affordable.
