Chapter 189 She Rejected Me
"Seducing my brother, getting close to my sister, Natalie, you are quiet the shrew. You just broke up with Jagger and immediately found your next boyfriend." Adrian lowered his head, pressing close to Natalie. His ardent voice fell upon her ear, yet it sent a chill down her spine, making her tremble slightly.
"Mr. Howard, it just happened so. I didn't expect to come here and neither did I expect to meet Daniel."
"Mr. Howard, if there’s nothing else, I'll be leaving now." Natalie lowered her eyes, turning to leave.
However, Adrian's hand wrapped around her waist. Through the thin fabric of her dress, she could clearly feel the warmth of Adrian's arm on her waist and abdomen.
When Natalie looked up, she saw Adrian's cold eyes. "Are you in such a hurry to go out and see Daniel?"
Natalie's heart skipped a beat. "No."
"I thought you had learned to behave." Adrian raised his hand, pinching Natalie's chin with two fingers and lifting it slightly. "You really are like this." Just as the information had shown, greedy and vain. Natalie had just broken up with Jagger and was immediately playing innocent in front of Adrian, and now she was seducing Daniel.
Adrian decided that he would not be deceived by Natalie again.
Even if Natalie was the girl who had saved him before, she would never be the innocent girl he once knew again.
"Mr. Howard, I think you really misunderstood something..." Natalie slapped Adrian's hand. His grip was not strong, but she couldn't break free.
Natalie's cheeks flushed from the struggle.
Just then, Rachel's voice came from outside the door. "Natalie, Natalie, open the door. Why did you lock it?"
Rachel stood at the doorway and pushed against the kitchen door.
"Isn’t she inside? Why won’t it open?”
Rachel was about to go find Mia for the keys when the kitchen door opened from the inside. She was surprised to see Adrian coming out. "Adrian, why are you in the kitchen?"
"Mm." Adrian only responded with a grout and walked past her.
Rachel glanced at Adrian's back and walked into the kitchen, seeing that Natalie had already cleaned up everything. "Natalie, why were Adrian here?"
Natalie's voice was hoarse, her eyes slightly downcast. "I don't know. Mr. Howard came to take a look. He saw that the tiramisu wasn't ready, and since you weren't here, he left."
On the balcony.
Melissa looked at Daniel and sighed softly, "Daniel, it's not that I look down on Natalie, but she was Jagger's girlfriend until just a few days ago. What was I supposed to think about you bringing her home like this?"
"Mom, haven't you always urged me to bring a girlfriend home? I like Natalie. She has already broken up with Jagger, and I have also ended things with my previous girlfriend. I'm pursuing Natalie now."
Melissa said, "This is not a joke, Daniel. You need to think it through."
"I've thought it through" Daniel said, "You don't understand her. She's not what you think. I've been pursuing her for a long time, since she was in college." Daniel laughed self-deprecatingly. "She rejected me."
Melissa frowned. Could there really be a girl who would reject Daniel?
Not to mention Daniel's outstanding looksand his family background.
Moreover, Natalie was just a maid for the Cullen family.
How could she reject someone as distinguished as Daniel?
No matter what, Melissa would never allow someone with such a vast social gap to become her daughter-in-law.
