Chapter 144 Your Man Is Impressive
"How’s that possible..." Natalie was puzzled.
Meanwhile, Robert asked suspiciously, "Natalie, who’s this? Aren’t you going to introduce us?"
Given Oliver's expensive attire and the rare Patek Philippe watch, Robert was polite and even a little flattering. He did not care whether Natalie was faithful to Oliver or not. As long as the other party could benefit him, he would welcome the other party with open arms.
Not knowing how to introduce Oliver, Natalie looked at him for help.
‘Is an introduction necessary?’
Oliver did not feel like explaining anything to Natalie’s contemptible father. He held her hand and said before leading her away, “You should be grateful that your daughter doesn’t want anything from you.”
Robert’s expression turned unsightly for a moment.
Indeed, he had neglected Natalie. Who could have predicted that she could be so useful now?
At this moment, Robert noticed Mrs. Watson trembling, and he asked impatiently, "What’s the problem now?"
"I must be mistaken, I must be mistaken," Mrs. Watson muttered in a daze.
"What’s wrong?"
"Didn’t you notice it?"
"Notice what? Speak up!" Robert was already frustrated by the failed discussion.
"That man, the ring he wore on his left ring finger is identical to the one Oliver wore at Hailey's engagement party!"
Mrs. Watson struggled to accept that the striking man they had just seen was Oliver, the man Natalie married.
Although men's wedding bands tended to resemble one another, Oliver's stature and presence were exceptionally rare. Upon closer inspection, the resemblance between the man they had just encountered and the Oliver they remembered from the cruise party was undeniable.
Realization dawned on Robert, and he shuddered at the wild speculation. "No, it can’t be. Oliver is disfigured..."
"What if it’s not?" Mrs. Watson said fearfully, "Previously, everyone thought Oliver was on the brink of death. Did he look like he was on the brink of death at the engagement party? Who knows what he might be concealing behind that mask?"
…
"Let go. Your actions will only arouse my father's suspicion!" Natalie protested. She knew that Mrs. Watson was quite observant. As she attempted to free herself from Oliver's grip, she saw him frowning at her.
He said impatiently, “Father? They mistreat you, and you still regard them as family! I try to treat you well, but you don’t seem to see it at all. Look at how you treat me!”
"What’s wrong with the way I treat you…"
Natalie trailed off. Indeed, Oliver had been kind to her. However, after a moment, she said, “But you have a terrible temper. Look, this morning you left because you were upset. I even sent you breakfast and brought it to you!”
"Who said I was upset?" Oliver retorted
Natalie fell silent.
‘If he wasn’t upset, then did he just feel… awkward?’
Natalie could not help but feel amused by this thought, thinking he was just like a child.
"Why are you laughing?" Oliver demanded.
"Nothing," Natalie replied, her joy unmistakable. Realizing they had gone off topic, she reminded, "You're making it too obvious, and they will discover you."
Oliver scoffed disdainfully. If he did not intentionally leave clues behind, those people would not have been able to discover anything. He had no intention of hiding his influence and power for a lifetime, after all.
Seeing that he was unconcerned, Natalie also no longer said anything, trusting his ability. After that, she explained Robert’s purpose of calling her out and emphasized that she refused Robert.
"Do you wish to help the Watson family?" Oliver asked. All she needed to do was nod, and he would help her.
"Of course not!" Natalie responded firmly.
"As you wish then," Oliver said.
Natalie sensed that if she had said yes, he would have helped her without hesitation.
Oliver's Rolls-Royce Phantom waited outside, and Charles opened the door for them.
Suddenly, Natalie asked curiously, “What’s your position in RK Group? Are you the CEO of this region?”
Oliver scoffed. "Do I seem like someone who would work for others?"
Charles glanced at Oliver before he smiled at Natalie and said, "Young Madam, he founded RK Group.”
"Charles, you must be jo..."
Natalie trailed off as she considered the possibility.
The chairman of the RK Group was seldom seen in public, but both Wyatt and Isaac greatly respected Oliver.
Natalie looked at the man next to her in awe.
"What do you think your husband is amazing?” Oliver asked, amused by Natalie's astonishment as he gently pinched her cheek.
"I think you're terrifying!"
Seeing Oliver's conflicting expression, which was caught between wanting to hit her and refraining from doing so, Natalie could not help but laugh out loud. After spending this time together, she knew he would not harm her.
Oliver was not angry when he looked at the woman next to him laughing at him. However, he still had to teach her a lesson.
Without any warning, he pulled Natalie into his arms and kissed her fiercely.
Natalie widened her eyes in surprise but did not resist.
Oliver was pleased with her reaction and continued to kiss her.
Charles, catching a glimpse of them in the rearview mirror, quickly raised the privacy partition, wondering how they could have forgotten about him.
At this time, Natalie suddenly recalled that night, and she trembled involuntarily.
