Chapter 167

The night of Jennifer’s birthday party, when Easton threw the divorce papers at Natalie, defending Jennifer at the same time, he saw the love in Natalie’s once-loving eyes crumble and vanish quickly.

Even then, he firmly believed that Natalie, who had always loved him, would never leave him. Now he’s finally realized that nobody will wait for him and love him forever, unconditionally.

Easton’s voice was husky and deep. “Keep investigating that man. Find out who he is no matter what.”

Xavier looked at Easton’s mysterious face, unable to read his thoughts, and said, “Alright, I’ve always been handling the investigation myself. If they could find out more about this guy, maybe things would turn around.”

Xavier turned and left, while Easton gazed at Natalie’s radiant smile in the grid of photos.

Maybe someone like Natalie only comes around once in a lifetime. If that’s the case, he wasn’t going to let her get away.

Easton thought, “Natalie, I’ll make it up to you!”

Easton had Xavier give Natalie the previous 30 million dollars for medical expenses and added another 30 million as interest.

After reaching the shore, Natalie saw the message Xavier had sent her. Natalie returned the extra 30 million to Easton. She included a note:

Natalie: I don’t deserve it.

Xavier saw the note, didn’t say anything, and handed the message to Easton. “Mr. Garcia, Ms. Shawn returned the excess 30 million."

Reading the message, Easton realized how deeply his thoughtless comment had hurt her.

Easton nodded softly, signaling for him to leave. Xavier shook his head and walked away slowly.

In the afternoon, Natalie posted her treasures on her social media: Four big lobsters, two octopuses, and a few groupers. She was still in her diving suit, her eyes curved with joy—she seemed really happy.

Easton’s lips couldn’t help but curl into a smile. When he couldn’t see her, she smiled so brightly. That lively smile left a deep imprint on Easton’s heart. His gaze at Natalie was exceptionally bright, mixed with hints of tender emotion.

Natalie spent three days with Zoe, who was thrilled and saw Natalie off with a car full of seafood.

The day Natalie returned, Maurice also came back.

Maurice’s grandpa, Patrick, often invited Lambert out for some fun.

Natalie was grateful that Patrick made sure her grandpa was happy every day. She picked out two boxes of the finest seafood to give as a gift to Patrick.

Patrick and Lambert hadn’t returned yet, so Maurice, who was refreshed and a bit travel-worn, greeted her instead.

Maurice had been away for a few days and had lost quite a bit of weight. His handsome face looked even more chiseled. Maurice smiled as he took the seafood from Natalie’s hands.

He lowered his eyes and gazed at her softly. “Natalie, it’s so heavy. You should have let me come over and get it for you.”

His voice was gentle, and not far away, a reporter captured this tender moment along with Natalie’s brilliant, smiling profile.

As the two entered the mansion, for some unknown reason, this news quietly made its way onto the trending list.

It’s already late autumn. The night wind was quite chilly.

Maurice wore a white casual outfit, and Natalie was wearing a white hoodie. They looked at each other face-to-face, creating a warm atmosphere.

[Oh my gosh, their looks are out of this world. They’re such a perfect match!]

[Did anyone notice Mr. Chambers’ expression? It’s so tender. I could willingly drown in those eyes.]

[If he’s so gentle outside, I can only imagine how gentle he is at home. My dream guy finally has a beautiful girl with him. I’m so jealous…]

[But who is this beautiful girl?]

As this post started trending, someone responded in the comments below:

[I know her. She’s the adopted daughter of the Simpson family. She’s quite dramatic, always causing trouble for the Simpsons’ daughter. After being kicked out, she went after Mr. Chambers for money.]

[Wow, I just thought she had amazing looks, but it turns out she’s a shameless woman. Let’s find out everything about her!] Below were various comments insulting Natalie.

It was Natalie’s first visit to Maurice’s home. The layout of their villas was the same, but the interior design differed.

The style of her villa was designed by her, reflecting her taste.

Lambert always said that living in such a luxurious and modern villa felt a bit strange for an old man like him, but he slowly got adjusted to it.

He didn’t wear typical senior’s clothes. All his outfits were chosen by her and were trendy and modern. With his hair dyed black, he looked no older than a man in his prime.

Natalie and Maurice were chatting happily when Luna called her.

“Luna.”

“Natalie, check out the trending topics, you and Mr. Chambers are trending now.”

Natalie glanced at Maurice sitting across from her, ended the call, and looked down at the news notifications on her phone. Seeing those insulting comments, Natalie scrolled down further and finally found a familiar account.

Vance from the Simpson family answered the question above. He said she was an adopted daughter of the Simpson family.

Natalie’s eyes showed a flash of pain. All four brothers from the Simpson family disliked her intensely. Clearly, she had never done anything to wrong them.

Maurice also saw the trending topic. As he looked into Natalie’s eyes, filled with pain, his heart trembled slightly. “Natalie, if you don’t like this trending news, I can have it taken down right away.”

His voice was soft, carrying a comforting power.

Natalie’s uneasy heart settled a bit, and she sincerely apologized. “I’m sorry, Mr. Chambers, for affecting you. I have some unresolved grievances with the Simpson family, which might affect our future collaboration.”

She wanted to explain things to him in advance.

Maurice shook his head and said with a gentle tone, “Natalie, do you think I’m like Easton? Before agreeing to work with you, I looked into your situation. I know how you were treated by the Simpson family and how Easton treated you after marrying you. Yet, your complete trust in me makes me believe you are worth trusting.”

Natalie’s eyes warmed, and she smiled brightly. “Mr. Chambers, don’t worry. Let’s meet tomorrow night to discuss the design plans. I won’t let you down.”

Maurice knew her capabilities. When Carl handed the company over to her, he was confident she could make it thrive.

“Great! Natalie, I believe in you.” His brown eyes were full of sincerity, and Natalie was deeply moved. She thought, “Wow, that divine face was just perfect for me."

Inside the Radiance Lounge. In the private room, Easton and Wesley sat facing each other.

Wesley held a glass of red wine, talking to someone next to him with his usual laid-back tone.

Meanwhile, Easton was idly scrolling through his phone. When he saw the news about Natalie and Maurice, he suddenly jumped up and left to call Natalie.
