He stood up, his tall figure heading towards the bathroom.


    Natalie watched him go, not even bothering to consider his proposal. The man would only be more ruthlesster on. Anyone who stood in his way would meet a terrible end.


    She really didn''t understand how Sebastian could change so drastically.


    He had already married Joanna, so why was he still so malicious?


    He and Joanna were two of a kind. In fact, Joanna was a master maniptor. She had fooled everyone and eventually became the richest woman in Yaro.


    But in this life, Joanna was in for some bad luck. Because this time, she had parents who would drag her down.


    Aside from her vicious nature, Joanna was actually very filial to her parents. To make her mother Nathan''s legitimate wife and to avoid beingbeled an illegitimate child herself, she had willingly given up a wonderful mother like Wendy.


    It was a shame. Natalie had grown up without a mother and never knew what it felt like to be doted on. Even after returning to Wendy''s side, she had never been shown any maternal love.


    *Knock, knock...*


    Natalie got up to open the door.


    It was Zenobia and Susan, back from their outing.


    She opened the door to see them returning in high spirits.


    “Quick,e in,” she said, ushering them inside. “I bought cake, let''s have some."


    The two girls entered shyly.


    After they sat down, Zenobia started excitedly, "Natalie, you missed out! It''s such a shame. There were these two incredibly handsome muscr guys. They had chiseled features, gorgeous eyes, perfect noses, and their bodies were so sexy. Absolute works of art. How do they manage to be so ripped and have such sharp faces at the same time?"


    “Ahhh! It was pure testosterone. It was enough to make any woman swoon. Ahh... I


    really want to sleep with one of them just to see what it''s like."


    Natalie was speechless.


    She actually wanted to sleep with him!


    Susan was even more worked up, her eyes flushed. "Natalie, I liked the other one He was like 6''2", broad shoulders, narrow waist, and every muscle was perfectly defined. His solid chest and powerful arms made meimagine how warm and safe it would feel to be held tightly in his embrace. I just couldn''t resist that feeling."


    Seeing her two friends so excited they looked ready to take the men home with them that very night, Natalieughed and asked, “So, did either of you get their contact info?"


    Susan nodded. "Natalie, I


    identally bumped into the guy! liked, and got to feel his muscles Oh my god... it was incredible. I almost dragged him back to the room for a wild night. But I got a little scared. His eyes weren''t... clear. I saw a calcting look in them. When we were kids we were afraid of ghosts because they looked monstrous. Now that we''re grown, we''re afraid of people because they look so well-dressed and proper."


    “So I made myself let it go. Sincerity has to go both ways, otherwise you just end up hurting yourself. Oh well, it was nice to look. I can just fantasize,” Susan said, not sounding too disappointed. She knew she could find someone better next time.


    She had a clear head now. She wouldn''t force any rtionship, no matter how much she cared for the person.


    Natalie smiled. “Susan, most people get fixated on the first person or thing they like. You''re between rtionships right now. If you like him, you could always just chat and see."
