Chapter 306 Birthmark
Ryan was in a tank top, and she noticed it right away.
Raymond said, "Natalie, don't you think you're being unreasonable? I don't even know you, so why should I show you?"
After speaking, Raymond saw Natalie's eyes redden. Her clear eyes, full of silent pleas, looked up at him. Suddenly, he felt a strange emotion he couldn't shake.
Feeling uncomfortable, he said, "Fine, I'll show you."
Raymond took off his shirt and turned around, revealing his back.
Natalie saw a scar on his shoulder where a birthmark should have been. Her eyes widened as she walked over.
"What happened here?" she asked, gently touching the scar.
Raymond tensed up at her cool touch. He quickly put his shirt back on. "An injury from when I was a kid."
Natalie bit her lip, thinking, 'Such a coincidence? The same face, same age, a birthmark that got injured.'
Raymond finished dressing and took a few steps forward. He turned around, saw Natalie in a daze, and tossed her the car keys. "You drive me back."
Natalie didn't refuse.
On the way, she drove carefully, following the GPS. She wasn't familiar with the limited-edition car.
"Mr. Newman, have you always lived in Vachilit?" she asked.
Raymond rolled down the window, letting the cold wind in. "Natalie, don't you think you're being too obvious? Plenty of girls chase after me. Don't you think you're being too straightforward?"
Natalie didn't know how to explain, so she let the misunderstanding stand. Looking at Raymond's face made her feel at ease. This was her brother, after all.
She focused on driving. "Mr. Newman, since I'm straightforward, please answer me."
Raymond looked at her. Natalie was indeed beautiful, with delicate features. She wasn't asking anything too personal, and she felt familiar to him.
"I came back a month ago. Before that, I was living with my aunt in Verono," he replied.
Natalie dropped Raymond off at the Newman Villa around 1 AM.
Raymond got out, a bit unsteady. "It's late. You can take the car. Just leave it at the Imperial Nightclub, and I'll have someone pick it up."
Natalie agreed. "Alright, Mr. Newman, thank you."
Natalie returned home and went to the kitchen, where she saw Rosalie had made some seafood soup.
Feeling hungry, she took a sip and sat down.
Her phone rang. It was Bella.
Bella had called several times, but Natalie had been busy and had her phone on silent.
Natalie answered, "Bella."
Bella shouted angrily, "I'm so mad, Natalie. My dad wants me to marry Austin Reynolds. Do you know him? He's the eldest son of the Reynolds family, the one who got disfigured."
Natalie frowned. "What did you say?"
Bella was furious. "Natalie, what am I going to do? I don't even know him, and ever since he got disfigured in a fire, he hasn't shown his face much. My dad actually wants me to marry him!"
