Chapter 724 Mr. Windsor is too indulgent!
Lucas and Lilian exchanged a knowing glance, seeing surprise and panic in each other's eyes.
Lucas's panic came from his respect for his older sister and his guilty conscience.
Lilian's panic came from the fear of becoming a "widow," or being scolded by Natalie.
What's even scarier is that even if Natalie scolded her, she would probably think that Natalie's scolding made sense.
"Okay." Natalie thought Oliver's arrangements were reasonable, and instructed Lucas to send her a message to ensure his safety after returning.
When Natalie and Oliver left, Lucas discreetly let out a sigh of relief, while Lilian visibly relaxed and sat down on the sofa.
"What's wrong, Lilian? You look guilty." Mia laughed.
Lilian forced a smile.
Well, of course, she looked guilty!
"Oliver, have you noticed something strange about Lucas and Lilian's relationship?" On the way back to Villa No. 1 in the Eastern District, Natalie couldn't help but discuss this issue with Oliver.
Oliver raised an eyebrow, looking at Natalie. "Such as?"
In his mind, he pondered whether to unconditionally support his wife or just say a few nice words for his brother-in-law as a symbolic gesture.
"Before you arrived, I saw Lucas actively teaching Lilian how to play pool," Natalie said. "And Casey said that Lilian has been hanging out with Lucas a lot recently, playing games together."
Natalie knew her younger brother somewhat. He was warm and responsive to her, always ready to help or answer her questions, but he was rebellious towards most people outside.
Lucas used to have this kind of attitude towards Lilian, but recently...he seemed unusually gentle?
"What do you think?" Oliver asked.
"I was thinking," Natalie looked at Oliver, "do you think Lucas might have a crush on someone and wants Lilian to help him out? Or is it possible that he has his eye on one of Lilian's friends and is using Lilian as an intermediary?"
Oliver pondered for a moment, thinking of a saying, "foolish for three years after having a child."
"No," Oliver resisted the urge to say "why don't you guess that Lucas likes Lilian?" and kept it to himself.
"Why?" Natalie asked, wanting to know how Oliver, as a man, viewed Lucas' behavior.
"With Lucas' personality, if he has decided he wants something, he would go after it directly, instead of taking a roundabout approach," Oliver reminded his foolish wife.
Natalie lowered her head and thought for a moment. "Hmm, that makes sense."
Oliver waited for her to continue. It shouldn't take long for her to guess the truth.
But after waiting for a while, the woman remained silent.
Oliver felt a slight weight on his shoulder. Without realizing it, the woman's lowered head had leaned against his shoulder.
Natalie had already closed her eyes, and her breathing became long and gentle.
She had fallen asleep.
"Tired?" Oliver couldn't help but smile. He tucked a strand of Natalie's hair behind her ear.
He maintained this position, not moving a muscle, delicately supporting Natalie's head when the car made turns, so as not to disturb her from her restless sleep.
Indeed, pregnant women easily feel drowsy.
It must be the little one inside her belly wanting to sleep.
The car stopped in front of Villa No. 1 in the East District.
Oliver carried Natalie horizontally and got out of the car. After walking only a few steps, the woman in his arms woke up.
"We're here?" Natalie murmured, seeing the familiar porch light of the villa.
The lamp was replaced by Oliver after he bought the place, as he found the previous one ugly.
"Hmm," Oliver glanced at the maid who came to greet him, gesturing for her to go ahead and open the bedroom door. He walked steadily, holding Natalie in his arms, and said, "Keep sleeping."
"I want to take a shower," Natalie, barely able to keep her eyes open due to exhaustion, but still adamant about taking a shower.
It was summer, and it would be terrifying to go to sleep without taking a shower!
"I'll wash for you," Oliver said.
"No," Natalie frowned and refused.
Oliver understood and said, "Don't worry, when I say I'll wash, I mean I'll only wash. Mrs. Fu, don't overthink it."
In the past, Natalie would have surely retorted, "Who's overthinking! It's clearly your terrible behavior that forces people to be wary of you!" But now Natalie was too tired, so forget it, she couldn't even be bothered to talk.
Anyway, Oliver promised not to touch her, so he definitely wouldn't touch her.
As for whether he would feel uncomfortable washing for her, that was his problem.
Nora knew that Chinese netizens were very gossipy and that public sentiment can influence heavily. That's why she specifically mentioned Natalie's "diva-like" behavior during the competition, waiting for this careless behavior to become the target of online criticism.
She waited and waited, and finally saw a search entry for "Natalie."
Excitedly clicking into it, she wanted to see how skillful the internet users were in mocking Natalie.
But the result was unexpectedly: Natalie lived in a private residence during her work, guess who she lived with!
The internet users responded actively:
[Guessing it's Jane or Flora Lee, or maybe all three of them together. The strong bond between these three needs no explanation. I also want to experience the blissful moments of single women!]
- This comment received positive responses from a large number of female netizens, especially those who recently encountered the ridiculous argument that women should get married and have children.
Sisters have money, beauty, talent, and an adorable shared daughter. If it comes to it, they can live together in a retirement home. Why can't they stay single?
[To be honest, Watkins, Lee, and Natalie wouldn't even be qualified to buy a private villa on this estate.]
[Mr. Windsor doesn't deserve a name? I, as a fan of this couple, disagree!]
- There were numerous comments defending this statement:
[NatalieOliverszd (is the truth)! No objections accepted!]
Although she was not a fan of CP, seeing Oliver publicly admit his pursuit of Natalie without success, she sided with Oliver. Hhhh, she even pitied Mr. Windsor.
Oliver! It's Oliver!
No matter who Natalie was living with, in her heart, that person was Mr. Windsor! Miss Watkins wouldn't do!
Mr. Windsor spoiled Natalie too much, feeding her every day on time, afraid that she would go hungry. What a sensational CP!
...
Nora had a head full of question marks.
What...is all this nonsense?
How did Jane, Flora Lee, and Oliver come to mind?
Shouldn't they be criticizing Natalie for her lack of professional ethics?
Also, what kind of petite wife is Natalie with her 175 cm height? Have you ever seen a wife who is taller than some men?!
Are these people's eyes and brains defective?
Instead of blackening Natalie, they made her even more popular. Nora was so angry that her temples throbbed and her lungs felt like they were about to explode!
