Natalie Wheeler couldn’t sleep for the whole night, only managing to fall asleep at 4 a. m. and wake up at 7:15 a. m.
When she woke up, she remembered Jasper’s words, “Since you care about Dante so much, come see him in person. Didn’t you always want to find Dante? He is our child. Come back, come back alive to see him. Stella, Stella, I miss you so much.”
She closed her eyes and felt her heart aching terribly. It was like a flood that was about to break out of the dam.
Since she couldn’t fall asleep, she simply got up, changed into her sportswear, and went to the park behind the hotel to run.
After running for two laps, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest. She squatted down, her hands covering her heart to relieve the pain. She felt like an awl had pierced into her heart.
“Miss, are you alright?” A familiar voice sounded.
Natalie looked at the man with a pale face. It was Frederick Addington.
In the back of her mind, she didn’t want to have anything to do with him anymore.
“Go away.” Natalie said unhappily.
Frederick was stunned and he looked at Natalie from top to bottom. There was a trace of complexity in his eyes. He picked Natalie up and said, “You don’t look fine. I will send you to the hospital first.”
Natalie had no strength to push Frederick away. Before she knew it, he had already carried her to his car.
“Do you have any water?” Natalie asked.
Frederick took the mineral water from the storage box, opened the bottle cap, and handed it to Natalie.
She took a few gulps and took a breath. The pain in her heart was relieved a lot. She looked at Frederick and said, “My heart doesn’t hurt anymore. Thank you for your help. I think I should rest more.”
Natalie was about to get out of the car, but Frederick stood in front of her and blocked the exit. “I think you’d better go to the hospital. You still look pale.”
“I know best when it comes to my physical condition. It’s up to me whether I want to go to the hospital. I’m very grateful that you helped me, but if you force me to do something I don’t want to do, it would only make me feel annoyed and disgusted. Please get out of my way,” Natalie said fiercely.
Frederick did not get angry. Instead, he raised an evil smile. “I did save you. How could you treat your savior like this?”
Natalie took some money out from her pocket and selected a 100 dollar note. She put it in the compartment behind the seat and said, “Thank you.”
“Hahaha.” Frederick smiled happily. “Miss, could you leave your contact information too?”
Natalie looked deeply at Frederick’s evil and arrogant face. It was true that his appearance and demeanor could mesmerize women easily. However, she knew Frederick too well.
“Do you have a pen?” Natalie asked.
Frederick smirked. He took out a pen from his dashboard and handed it to Natalie. “Write your number on my palm.”
She held his hand and wrote down a series of numbers in his hand.
“Have you eaten breakfast?” Frederick looked at her with a strange light in his eyes and asked.
“I’ve had my breakfast. I have matters to attend to later.” Natalie got out of his arms.
Frederick did not stop her. He sat in the back seat lazily and looked at Natalie’s back.
His judgment on her was: she was a little chubby, she had a pretty face that was perfect, her skin was fair and beautiful, and her breasts were big. The point was, her voice… was the same as Stella’s. Just her voice was enough to make up for her chubby figure.
Frederick picked up his cell phone and saved her number. Then he dialed the number.
“Sorry. The number you have dialed is not available.”
Frederick frowned and looked in the direction where Natalie had disappeared to with a trace of irritation in his eyes.
Was she playing with him?
…
Natalie went back to her room, lay on the bed, and closed her eyes to rest.
She didn’t want to die just yet. She wanted to stay with Dante and him.
Perhaps her heart was not feeling well before, or it was because she had exercised. It could also be possible that she did not have enough sleep. She fell asleep shortly after.
At half-past ten, she was woken up by her phone’s ringtone.
When she saw that it was Eli Wayne, she answered, “Eli.”
“The baby is finally asleep. I’m outside your hotel now. Are you awake? Let’s go out and have some fun.” Eli sounded as if she had just been released from a birdcage and was free to fly. She was very excited.
“Give me five minutes,” Natalie said and hung up the phone. After brushing her teeth and freshening herself, she tied her hair into a ponytail, put on a purple and white dress, and went downstairs.
Eli whistled and waved her hand with a smile. “Here, pretty girl!”
Natalie walked towards Eli and got in the passenger seat. She fastened her seat belt and looked at her.
Eli’s hair was let down and she wore a high-necked shirt, but… Natalie felt guilty when she saw the love bite on her neck.
“Oh yes, didn’t you ask me to check the location of a mobile phone last night? Is everything alright? Why didn’t you need the location anymore?” Eli asked.
“The owner of the phone called me and told me where he was,” Natalie said simply.
“The owner of the mobile phone? Jasper Milton?” Eli guessed.
Natalie did not speak. She lowered her eyes. Her long eyelashes left a dark shadow under her eyelids, blocking the undercurrents in her eyes.
Eli had already figured it out. “He’s the only person you would care so much about.”
“I care about you, too.” Natalie said with certainty, “I’m sorry. Did I make you suffer yesterday?”
“That beast might have been a monk in his previous life. It seems like it’s never enough for him,” Eli said unhappily, “Ah, let’s not talk about him anymore. My waist hurts whenever I hear his name. Are you sure you don’t want to tell Jasper?”
Natalie shook her head. “Let’s not talk about him either. It hurts too much. Alright, it’s our girls’ day out today, so let’s have some fun.”
“Ha ha ha ha, Let me correct myself. The pain is not on my waist, but in my kidneys.” Eli laughed as she said optimistically.
Her laughter was infectious. Natalie also smiled and looked out of the window. “Where are we going?”
“We’re going to this pretty nice park in the suburbs. I heard that some even described that place as a paradise. Sean took me there some time ago. We can fish, ride horses, sing, play golf, and there’s various entertainment and good food. The main point is that there are a lot of handsome men there too. Hahahaha.” Eli was already happy just thinking about it, her eyes curving upwards.
“Aren’t you worried that Sean might send spies to that place?” Natalie said worriedly.
“I stole Sean’s card, so we’ll be entering the high-level VIP area. Not everyone can enter that place. Moreover, I’ve only been here once. They probably don’t remember me. Plus, I came out with you. Sean knows about it, so it’s going to be fine.” she reassured.
“As long as it’s okay,” Natalie held Eli’s hand. “I will definitely find a way to help you escape from Sean.”
“Well, we really should stop talking about him. Now, not only are my waist and my kidneys aching, but my whole body aches too.” Eli joked.
However, in this world, some people will still appear even if you refused to talk about them.
Just as Natalie and Eli entered the high-level VIP food area, they ran into Jasper, his children, and his friends.
It was too late for Natalie to leave because Jasper had also seen her…
