The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Natalie’s words rendered Laney speechless.She was used to dealing with people straightforwardly with force, but Natalie’s outright coldness made her flustered and helpless.

Laney would’ve preferred it if Natalie beat her to vent her anger rather than cut off their friendship.

“Don’t act like we’re strangers, Natalie...” Laney forced a smile.

“If it weren’t for Mr.Larson, you and I would have been strangers, Miss Garcia,”

Natalie retorted coldly.

“Okay.It’s true that Mr.Larson hired me to protect you, and it’s true that I’ve been lying to you.For that, I’m sorry,”

Laney apologized right away.

Natalie’s anger was unsettling; it made her realize just how terrible it was when a usually gentle and nice person got mad.Natalie nodded but didn’t say anything else.

“Sorry, I just need some time to calm down,” Natalie said with a sigh after a while.She didn’t want to talk to Laney anymore, so she started to walk past her.

“Wait!” Laney stopped Natalie, and then quickly lowered her head.

“I’m sorry, okay? My contract said that I couldn’t reveal my identity nor could I reveal Mr.Larson’s.I couldn’t violate the terms.”

Natalie put on a calm smile, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes.

“I know you were just doing your job.I just feel like I had been such a fool for believing you were my friend ever since you saved me.Miss Garcia, I’ve never had a real friend since I was a child, so when you treated me well, I couldn’t help but believe that you had considered me as a friend, too.”

Laney anxiously explained, “It’s true that at the beginning, I was just hired to protect you, but I gradually came to regard you as a real friend.I wasn’t lying to you about that. You’re a very worthy friend. You’re gentle and refined, whereas I’m a straightforward person.Few girls are willing to be friends with me.When you treated me sincerely, I was really happy that I had you.”

Laney’s voice sounded genuine.Natalie’s cold eyes softened somewhat and she fell silent.

It wasn’t that she didn’t believe what Laney was saying, rather she was still hurting from the fact that their friendship was fake in the beginning.

Other than her biological parents, no one in this world would have treated her well for no reason.

With Laney, she just didn’t figure it out at first.

The more Natalie thought about it, the more distressed she felt.She didn’t say anything as her mind raced.

How was she supposed to treat Laney now? She didn’t think it was necessary to cut off all ties with Laney, but she couldn’t continue to view Laney as a friend either.

She lowered her head, walked past Laney, and unlocked the door with her fingerprint.

“I won’t invite you in, Miss Garcia. You can go back and tell Mr.Larson that I’m safe and I don’t need anyone to protect me from now on.”

Then, without waiting for a response, she closed the door on Laney’s face.

Being left outside, Laney felt helpless.

It was clear that Natalie was still too immersed in her anger io listen to reason now.

No matter what Laney said, it would likely fall on deaf ears.

Just as Laney was about to leave, she sensed that someone was behind her.

She whirled around vigilantly and when she saw who it was, she sighed in relief.

“Mr.Larson, why are you sneaking around in the daytime?”

Sebastian brushed the snow off his shoulders and emerged from the bushes. He was wearing a long face, and he was carrying a bag of food that had clearly gone cold.

Dressed in a luxurious suit, his image was full of contradictions. On the one hand, he looked like a warm partner who had prepared breakfast for his lover.On the other hand, he also looked like a mature and steady socialite. 1 Sebastian didn’t answer Laney. The truth was he had been following Natalie ever since she left the hotel. He just didn’t show himself until Natalie was inside the villa. Laney approached him anxiously.

Considering how Sebastian was her employer, it wasn’t her place to judge him. She could only shake her head wryly and say,

“Mr.

Larson, you’ve really done it this time. No wonder she’s so angry. But I think you can still fix things. Go and apologize to her right now.”

Sebastian wasn’t good at expressing his feelings. He could only nod and say, “Natalie only spoke out of anger just now. Your contract hasn’t expired, so you still have to protect her at all times.” Laney smiled.

“Even without you telling me, I would’ve protected her to the ends of the earth.” Looking at the closed door to the villa, she added softly, “Because she’s my best friend.”

Natalie opened her suitcase and began to pile her clothes in it. When she took them out of the closet, she found that every article of clothing was folded neatly.

Sebastian was good at doing housework. She had seldom done laundry ever since they got married. 3 She looked around the room quietly.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The windows and furniture were clean, and even the floor was shiny. Now that she knew that Sebastian was loaded, she wondered if he had hired maids to clean the house whenever she was away. Even so, there was no doubt that Sebastian was good at cleaning:

she had witnessed this herself.

She still remembered that when the two of them first got married and moved into that small house of his mother’s, he couldn’t do the dishes properly and even broke a few of them. A smile crept on Natalie’s face. As the CEO of such an esteemed company, he shouldn’t have needed to do such housework. No wonder he was so clumsy at the time.

Now that she looked back carefully, she realized there were a lot of clues that alluded to Sebastian’s secret identity as Brandon Larson. For example, he knew multiple languages and liked to pay attention to stock and financial reports.But she had ignored all those clues a Just then, the sound of the intelligent door unlocking interrupted her train of thoughts, Sebastian strode in. Seeing that Natalie was packing up her things, he strode over to her suitcase and closed it. Natalie glared at him and demanded, “What do you think you’re doing?”

Sebastian rested his hand on the suitcase firmly, showing no intention of letting it go.

The two of them stared at each other in a stalemate. After a long while, Sebastian broke the silence and said in a low voice, “I’m here to apologize to you. I’m sorry.” Natalie sneered coldly.

“You’ve deceived me for so long. Do you expect me to forgive you after just a simple ‘sorry’?” Sebastian pursed his lips and looked at her steadily.

‘lll do anything you want me to do, but you can’t leave.”

For the first time, he looked very humble, like a little child who knew he was in the wrong Seeing him like this, Natalie didn’t have the heart to stay so angry at him. Instead, she tried to snatch the suitcase from under his hand, but it didn’t even budge. She had no choice but to give up. She glared at Sebastian and said, “Let me go. I want to move out.”

Sebastian frowned.
