Chapter 782
Chapter 782 Get Used to Being with Me It had been many years.
Despite Natalie's repeated attempts to end things with them, these two men continued to follow her like a curse and always appeared by her side.
After observing Rebecca's recent conflicts with Natalie regarding Luna, Bianca believed that Irwin and Cedric were ultimately unable to protect Natalie! Since they came into Natalie's life, she hadn't experienced any peace. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Natalie didn't want to talk about her own affairs now, so she asked, "What about you and Malcolm?"
"Malcolm?" Regarding Malcolm, Bianca's attitude towards him resembled Natalie's behavior towards Cedric and Irwin.
Bianca's cold smile indicated that Zane had brought back something different.
Perhaps Malcolm was going to fall soon.
Bianca didn't elaborate. She simply said, "Lord Austin's recovery dealt him a heavy blow!" Austin had been lurking for many years, causing confusion with his sudden announcement of his recovery.
It caught everyone off guard, and many plans were overturned.
"Nat "
"Yes?" ¥ ""Zane said that Lord Austin went to Verde City a few years ago. Do you have any memories of that time?" Bianca asked.
n n ""Zane made it clear that Lord Austin wouldn't entertain marrying just any woman casually." n n ""He even gave up all the benefits he could have gotten from the Jarvis family. There must be some connection between you two!" Was there a connection between them? Natalie didn't know. But as long as it didn't involve the interests of the
Jarvis family, she didn't care anymore, She had been stubborn about Austin before because she was worried he would exploit the Jarvis family. Now, she didn't need to worry about those things anymore.
So, there was nothing for her to be concerned about, right? Zane returned to Verdant Villa for dinner that night, so Natalie planned to return to Lotus Villa. However, she was picked up by Austin's men again and ended up at Orchid Bay.
The man across from her looked at Natalie and said, "From now on, you'll have to get used to being with me." Natalie was silent. She felt a little
uncomfortable with Austin's sudden words.
But she nodded. "Alright." "Luna is on her way back," Austin said.
Natalie looked up sharply at his words.
"What?" Luna was on her way back? For a moment, Natalie couldn't react.
"I've already told the world that Luna is my daughter, Nat. I know you're worried, but there's no need to be n At his words, Natalie's heart clenched tightly.
Austin spoke with such a gentle tone.
"With your status, there are plenty of women who would marry you. Why would you marry someone like me when you gain nothing?" Natalie asked.
"I only want you. I don't need anything else," Austin replied.
Was it that simple? In this world, even ordinary men would think about their interests and benefits when marrying a woman.
But Austin was saying something different.
Back then, Cedric's proposal to marry her had ulterior motives. Even Irwin had been the same.
At this moment, Natalie thought of
what Bianca had said. She looked at Austin and asked, "Have you ever been to Verde City?" "I have." "Did we meet back then?" Natalie asked.
When Bianca mentioned this earlier, Natalie racked her mind but found nothing. She didn't remember ever meeting Austin.
However, when Natalie asked this question, Austin looked at her with a mysterious smile on his lips.
Natalie fell silent.
He was staying silent and acting so mysteriously again! Austin said, "Nat, I don't have any hidden motives or external factors
influencing my decisions for wanting to be with you. Do you understand?" What? "You've held my heart for many years," Austin said in a deep, restrained tone that made Natalie's mind freeze momentarily.
"After I saw you that day..." Austin paused for a moment. Then he smiled and continued, "If I had known that you were the daughter of the Jarvis family who caused such a commotion in Simeria, I would have announced my recovery a long time ago and appeared before you." "What..." Natalie felt like someone had hit her hard.
She had held his heart for many years? That meant they had really met in Verde City before this! Natalie looked at Austin and asked, "What happened between us?" Austin shook his head. "There wasn't any deep connection whatsoever. We only met once at the airport." "n n "Your eyes were beautiful." They met at the airport? So, she really hadn't met this man? He had only seen her once?! "How many years ago was this?" "It happened when you were still a student."
Natalie was speechless, When she was a student? How many years ago was it when she last flew as a student? And because of her eyes, this man just...? Natalie was stunned.
Austin looked at her with a smile and asked, "Nat, have you ever heard of love at first sight?" Love at first sight? Natalie didn't know what that felt like.
"It's the feeling of a lifetime at first sight... I guess that's the best way I can describe it," Austin said, his smile deepening as he spoke.
Natalie felt her heart uncomfortably twist when she saw Austin like this.
"I know that both Cedric and Irwin have caused you a lot of pain, and 1 know you won't fall in love with me." Natalie remained silent.
He was right.
She wouldn't fall in love with him.
She didn't dare to.
But when the man uttered his last sentence, the bitterness in his voice involuntarily touched her heart.
"Since you know, then why would you..." "you should still know that not everyone in this world is like them, right?" Austin interrupted her again, and his gentle tone made Natalie's
heart twist even more.
Although people said not to judge everyone by the same standard, Natalie had lost all her courage.
Wasn't she like this because of that? "Instead of talking about whether you'll fall in love with me, why don't we talk about our marriage?" Their marriage? Natalie had long lost any princess-like fantasies and expectations for marriage.
"You can decide on the details," Natalie said, feeling gloomy.
Her words made Austin somewhat unhappy.
"Nat, despite your current state, [ hope
you take this seriously. What do you say?"
