Chapter 149 Oliver, Have You Gone Mad!
In everyone’s opinion, Natalie was an illegitimate child. It was not surprising if she was treated like the help after she married into a wealthy family.
…
Night fell, and the contestants returned to their respective rooms.
Natalie had just settled down when her phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Oliver.
Oliver: Open the window.
Startled, Natalie jumped out of bed and rushed to open the window. She saw Oliver balanced precariously on the rain gutter and the windowsill, still looking as handsome as ever.
"Oliver! Are you crazy? This is the second floor! What if you fall?!" Natalie exclaimed as she quickly pulled him inside.
Oliver had been involved in extreme sports like rock climbing since his teenage years. He did not need her help and effortlessly made his way inside. Seeing Natalie's worried expression, his fatigue from a long day of dealing with work disappeared immediately.
"Why are you here?" Natalie poured a glass of warm water for Oliver.
After taking a sip and placing the glass aside, Oliver was about to sit on Natalie's bed when he suddenly glimpsed a black French-style sleeping gown on the bed.
Natalie hurriedly ran over and hid it under the covers. She feigned ignorance and averted her eyes, hoping he would leave soon. After a moment, she asked, “Why aren’t you at home sleeping? What did you sneak in here?”
Oliver glanced at her for a few seconds before gesturing for her to come closer.
Oliver was still dressed in a suit, so Natalie assumed he had just come here from work. Thinking that he was tired and had no strength to speak loudly, she hesitated for a moment before she finally walked over.
However, before she even came to a stop, he had already pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
Oliver had missed her a lot. In the end, he could not help but drive over after work.
“You!”
Natalie pounded Oliver’s chest with both hands lightly as their foreheads rested against each other and their breaths intermingled.
Oliver coaxed gently, "Baby, can you kiss me?"
Natalie glared at him. Her refusal was apparent.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
"Someone's here, what should we do?"
Natalie panicked and tried to stand up, but Oliver held her waist firmly, preventing her from moving.
‘If someone sees him here, there’ll be trouble!’
"You should hide first!" Natalie pointed to the closet.
Oliver remained calm as he tapped his lips lightly.
“You're taking advantage of the situation!" Natalie was once again shocked by his shamelessness.
"Okay, then let others see what your husband looks like."
Oliver acted as if he would not leave unless she kissed him.
The sounds of knocking rang in the air again, sounding more urgent than before.
Annoyed, Natalie kissed Oliver twice.
"Is that enough?"
Her face was red. She was both anxious and annoyed, unaware of the storm of emotions brewing in Oliver’s eyes.
Oliver, being the proud person he was, naturally did not hide in the closet. Instead, he stood near the bedside, which was a blindspot.
Natalie thought the other party was an assistant who came to inform her about tomorrow’s shoot. However, when she saw the other party’s face, her expression turned frosty immediately.
"Mr. Evans."
"Natalie, I honestly believed you to be virtuous, but you’ve visited All Night Manor in the past. Why are you pretending to be aloof now? Let me tell you; it was Noah who orchestrated the selection of male models this time around. If you offend the investor, there’ll be consequences. However, if you satisfy me, everything will be fine. I must say, I particularly like your slender waist…”
Mr. Evans touched his bald head, exuding confidence as he stared at Natalie lecherously and continued to say, “Aren’t you going to invite me in to sit down? If you feel your room is too small, you’re welcome to come to mine…”
‘Noah…’ Natalie repeated the name silently. She did not expect that after the lesson Noah learned on the ship, Noah would scheme against her again so quickly.
"Mr. Evans, I didn’t go to All Night Manor willingly previously. Moreover, I’m now a married woman," Natalie said calmly, “Please leave. If you persist, I’ll call for help. At that time, the outcome will be unfavorable to everyone.”
"You! Do you think I care about you? You’re nothing but a pretty face with a good figure!"
Mr. Evans scoffed.
It seemed like he was going to continue scolding, but Natalie rolled her eyes and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
In that fleeting moment before the door closed, Natalie overheard Mr. Evans mutter something under his breath.
Mr. Evans might possess some capabilities, but his greed overshadowed it. Such individuals were not uncommon in society. Natalie could not change him, but she preferred to minimize her interactions with him.
Natalie turned away and saw Oliver holding onto her nightgown. Who knew if he was studying the design of the nightgown or thinking about some other matters?
"Oliver, put that down!" Natalie hurried over, attempting to reclaim her clothing.
Oliver quickly moved his arm, causing her to stumble. A hint of ridicule and anger could be seen in his eyes as he looked at her.
Natalie’s fierce demeanor when facing Mr. Evans had disappeared completely at this moment. She quickly explained, “You know these secret rules are common in the industry. However, I have no intention of participating in such a thing. You heard me refuse him earlier!”
Without extraneous movements, Oliver's countenance conveyed a trace of hostility and derision as he regarded her.
Oliver toyed with the black shoulder strap with his fingertips, exuding a hint of sensuality.
Natalie continued to explain, "You’re aware of the incident at All Night Manor as well. You were there, and I even looked for you. I was coerced into it. At that time, I was under contract with G Entertainment, and I had to comply with the company's orders. Didn't I escape afterward?"
"You weren’t in the wrong, so there’s no need to explain,” Oliver said, still playing with the strap of the nightgown.
Natalie's heart raced as she watched.
Oliver, a 26-year-old chairman, was behaving unexpectedly like a ruffian! What was even more astonishing was that he did so without a trace of vulgarity. Instead, it looked rather alluring.
Natalie tiptoed and made several attempts to retrieve the clothing, but each attempt was fruitless.
"I’m explaining because I respect you and wish to prevent any misunderstandings!" Natalie said, giving up on snatching back her nightgown.
Naturally, Oliver would not misunderstand her regarding this matter. Was there a need for his wife to seduce those ugly men?
‘What was his name again? Mr. Evans?’
Having derived sufficient amusement, Oliver nonchalantly tossed the clothing to the ground.
Natalie promptly leaped over and seized the nightgown, quickly stuffing it into the closet.
Oliver's gaze landed on Natalie's slender and supple waist. The hem had lifted when she moved, exposing her waist.
