Chapter 219 It Was Not an Accident
Adrian was engaged to Alice; he was always gentle with her, never showing the same disgust he had for Natalie. All his tenderness was directed at Alice, and now Alice was pregnant. But if he truly loved Alice, how could he sleep with Natalie?
Natalie said, "You're her fiancé; you'll marry her in the future."
Hearing this, Adrian seemed to lose interest. He got up, and Natalie quickly closed her eyes, her ears turning red. Seeing this, Adrian couldn't help but smile slightly. He opened the wardrobe and took out a set of clothes to change into.
Adrian said, "Natalie, you know, rich people have their way of living, and poor people have theirs. Everyone has moments when they aren't free."
Besides, the child Alice was carrying might not even be his. The Howard family had strict requirements for heirs. He wouldn't marry Alice until she gave birth to the child. Whether he would marry Alice was still unknown.
It was no accident that Alice showed up at his hotel room door that night. She didn't have any friend's birthday to attend. Considering that Alice had saved him, he didn't want to expose her.
He didn't want to associate Alice with Donte.
However, if Alice and Donte were in cahoots, with Donte drugging him first and Alice helping him later just to become Mrs. Howard, then he would definitely not let Alice off the hook.
Alice was at the door, and she couldn't get through to Adrian on the phone. She stomped her foot, not knowing what Adrian was doing. She knocked on the door, but Adrian didn't open it.
She thought, 'Adrian probably drank too much yesterday and isn't feeling well.'
At this moment, a waiter came over. "Ms. Cullen, Mr. Howard asked me to tell you to go to Pearl Island first. He will follow shortly."
Alice asked, "Isn't he leaving now?"
The waiter replied, "Mr. Howard drank too much yesterday and is still resting."
Alice nodded. "Alright then."
She looked at the door and had to turn around.
Inside the bedroom, Natalie grabbed the blanket to cover herself. She saw that Adrian was already dressed and got a bit anxious. "Where are my clothes?"
Adrian was adjusting his cuffs. "They're in the bathroom."
Natalie quickly grabbed the bathrobe. Although her body was seen naked last night, her cheeks were burning red. She hurried to the bathroom. Her clothes from last night were on the rack, but they were no longer wearable!
Natalie said, "Adrian, you didn't give me clothes or money. Sleeping with you is really a loss for me."
Adrian retorted, "A loss for you? I was the one doing the work. You were the one enjoying it. Weren't you very happy just now?"
Natalie's cheeks suddenly turned bright red as she heard this.
She couldn't out-argue Adrian. "I wasn't. I didn't."
Adrian raised an eyebrow. "It seems your memory is bad. Do you need me to reenact it for you?"
Natalie gritted her teeth.
A phone started buzzing. This time it wasn't Adrian's phone, but Natalie's.
Natalie picked up the phone from the bedside table and glanced at the caller ID.
It was Daniel calling.
Natalie answered the call, "Hello."
Daniel asked, "Natalie, where are you? We're going to Pearl Island. Aren't you in your room?"
Natalie replied, "I drank too much last night, and I have a headache. You guys go ahead."
Daniel asked with concern, "A headache? Did you bring any medicine? I can bring you some."
Natalie said, "No need. I'll be fine after some more sleep."
Natalie was still talking to Daniel when she heard the sound of a door slamming. She looked up to see that Adrian had already stormed out.
What a temper!
Daniel asked, "Natalie, what was that noise?"
Natalie replied, "Oh, It's nothing. Just a cup fell."
After hanging up, Natalie was still worried about how to leave. If she went out in a bathrobe, people would think she was mad!
Her gaze fell on Adrian's wardrobe.
She walked over and opened it. Inside, everything was neatly arranged with sportswear, suits, and casual clothes. She picked a gray tracksuit, but it was too big on her.
Natalie really didn't know what to do. She didn't have any friends here. She couldn't ask someone to bring her clothes. She walked out of the bedroom into the living room and suddenly stopped.
There was a gift box on the table. Natalie walked over and opened it.
Inside the gift box was a pale yellow dress and a set of underwear.
Adrian had already prepared it for her.
