Chapter 749 Baby, I Can't Let Go
"Can you find your way there?"
"If I can't find my way, Lucas will help me!"
'Liliian, your logic is a bit flawed!'
However, under Lilian's eager and longing gaze, Natalie could not bear to refuse her. If Lilian wanted to pick up Lucas, then so be it. Nonetheless, she was still a bit worried, so she called the hotel's car service to take Lilian to the airport.
"By the way, Lucas is my brother," Natalie explained to the others, "He'll be joining us later, but he probably won't play with us. He prefers to stay in his room and watch documentaries, especially when he doesn't know anyone else here."
"Natalie, your assistant..." someone said tentatively.
"What's the matter?"
"She's so wealthy. Did she come here to experience the hardship of life?"
"No," someone shook their head and said, changing the subject, "Are your assistant and your brother in a relationship?"
Natalie's heart skipped a beat.
"Why would you say that?"
The speaker, a female model, replied, "Isn't it obvious? Natalie, your assistant's eyes lit up when she mentioned your brother. She's like a girl who's about to meet her lover... Uhh, are they not in that kind of relationship?"
Apart from the model who spoke, the others also noticed something strange from Natalie's expression and stopped talking. They were afraid of guessing wrong and embarrassing themselves.
"All of you can go ahead and do your own things first. I need some time alone," Natalie said, looking distracted as she sat back in her chair.
"Okay."
Natalie could just brush it off if just one person speculated about Lilian and Lucas being in a romantic relationship, but a group of people all thought the same!
'Could it be true?'
She tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and let her mind wander.
While one part of Natalie thought this possibility was small, another part thought it could be true. She was trapped in an endless cycle of guessing.
"Ms. Watson," an intern walked over and called out.
It took a moment for Natalie to realize that the intern was calling her 'Miss Watson'. During this time, most people addressed her as 'Natalie'.
Natalie nodded and informed the others that she had something to attend to and would return soon. It seemed that her presence made it difficult for the younger ones to relax, though she was only a few years older than them.
…
"Oliver, you're b…"
Natalie had just opened the door when a force grabbed her waist and pushed her to the side, pressing her against the wall and kissing her forcefully.
It took quite a while for him to stop.
If this intense kiss had occurred previously, Natalie would have struggled to catch her breath.
"What's wrong with you?"
Natalie gasped, sensing something off about Oliver's demeanor. His emotions seemed erratic, as if he was desperately suppressing something.
Oliver's gaze flashed as he realized his loss of control, quickly reigning in his emotions and tightly embracing her.
"Hey, be gentle!" Natalie, whose pain receptors were quite sensitive, protested, "I'm not going anywhere, so be gentle."
Susan's words kept replaying in Oliver's mind, and now Natalie's words joined them.
'She’s not going anywhere… She’s not leaving…'
"Even if you wanted to leave, I wouldn't allow it."
Natalie looked at him with puzzlement. She had no intention of leaving. After a moment, she asked, "Have you finished your work?"
Oliver maintained his position, embracing her and pressing her against the wall. The two were close; their breaths mingling subtly, and the ambiguous atmosphere between them gradually heated up.
"Oliver..."
"I know."
He knew they could not be intimate at that moment. Each of them had their own reasons; one was true, and the other was false.knew;
Natalie felt it was quite inhumane for Oliver to have endured for so long because of her physical condition. After all, he was usually...
Natalie looked at him before she shyly lowered her gaze and said, "How about… I…"
She did not finish her words, but Oliver understood her meaning. He was shocked, and it took several seconds for him to confirm that he had not misheard. He stared at her fixedly, making sure she had not made a mistake. After a moment, a deep and low laugh broke the silence.
"Hey!"
Natalie already felt embarrassed, being the one to bring up something like this. It was her first time being proactive, and she was already feeling shy and awkward. To think the man before her did not appreciate it at all. Not only did he not appreciate it, but he also made fun of her! She blushed, unsure if she was angry or embarrassed.
"Move aside!" Natalie pushed him, looking frustrated as she said, "Since you’re fine, I'll go downstairs to accompany someone else!"
The phrase 'accompany someone else' made Oliver feel uncomfortable.
"Accompany who? Your husband is here. Who else are you going to accompany?"
Oliver held onto her wrist as she took a few steps away, pulling her back into his embrace.
Natalie looked up and met his intense gaze.
He was like an intense fragrance, intoxicating those around.
"Don't be angry."
Oliver smiled and squatted in front of Natalie, holding her waist with his hands to prevent her from moving.
"Baby, it's not that I don't want to. Any normal man would want to, you know, I'm very normal," Oliver explained, kneeling on one knee, facing Natalie's stomach, and looking up at her as he said, "But I can't bear to…"
Natalie’s heart trembled.
"Since I married you, I naturally have to cherish you…"
…
Natalie returned downstairs from the ultra-luxurious suite, feeling a bit disoriented. In her mind, there were moments when Oliver passionately kissed her as if he had some uncontrollable emotions, and moments when he calmly worried in front of her on his knees, speaking with an extremely sincere tone.
There was no doubt that he was fatally attractive.
"Did you meet him?"
Leo walked over, holding a champagne flute. Despite his handsome face, he wore a slightly childish expression on his face. Especially compared to Oliver, the childishness was especially pronounced.
Natalie treated Leo completely like a younger brother.
"Him?"
"Simon," Leo reluctantly said.
Natalie readily nodded. "Yes. Do you have any problem with that?"
Leo said discontentedly, "If... if I wasn't born late, I might not necessarily lose to Simon."
Then, Leo began to recount his previous achievements.
