“What does it have to do with you?”
…
As she drove back to Eli’s place, these words echoed in Natalie’s head over and over again. There was a clash of emotions in her heart. She felt jealous and angry, but at the same time, she was at a loss for words. It was as if a huge mountain was pressing on her heart, suffocating her. She was trembling all over.
Yes, it had nothing to do with her!
Even if she was Stella Grace, she and Jasper Milton were already divorced. Even if Jasper looked for other women, it had nothing to do with her. Furthermore, she had assumed the identity of Natalie Wheeler now.
However, she still felt sad. Her eyes were dull and she wanted to cry.
It was really uncomfortable to suppress it.
She parked the car on the side of the road and leaned on the steering wheel to compose her emotions.
“Knock-knock-knock.” Someone was knocking on the car window.
Natalie raised her head and saw that it was the traffic police. She immediately rolled down the window.
The traffic police officer saw that she looked pale. “Are you okay? Did you drink and drive? You can’t stop here.”
“I did not drink and drive. I just wasn’t feeling well just now. I feel much better now. I’ll drive away immediately.” Natalie whispered.
The traffic police saw that she had a good attitude, so he let her go.
When Natalie returned to Eli’s place, it was already 5 p. m.
“Why did you take so long to deliver a phone? I was going to call the police.” Eli Wayne said worriedly.
“There was a little accident and it took some time. I’m sorry,” Natalie said worriedly.
“You’re leaving tomorrow. Are you sure that you don’t want to stay for a few more nights? My baby and I will miss you very much.” Eli said deliberately in front of the housekeeper.
Natalie smiled and immediately figured out Eli’s hint.
“I’m really sorry to have bothered you today. By the way, let’s take your baby to the amusement park tomorrow. I know a good one nearby. It’s clean and the environment is good.” Natalie cooperated with her.
“Okay, sounds great.” Eli held the child’s soft hand and played with him. “You must be bored at home. Auntie will take us out tomorrow.”
“Madam, it’s too hot outside now. The Young Master needs to take a nap. It’s not suitable for him to go out to play.” Auntie Zachary advised.
Eli looked at Natalie. “The amusement park that you mentioned, is it indoors or outdoors? Let’s not go if it’s outdoors. It would probably be too hot. My baby is still too young.”
“It’s outdoors. It’s not far from the hotel I’m going to stay at tomorrow. We can have a rest in my hotel after dinner.” Natalie suggested.
“The food outside is not clean, and the Young Master is not old enough to eat solid food.” Auntie Zachary disagreed again.
“In that case, prepare more milk powder, biscuits, and baby food. After all, my baby only eats these things at home.” Eli looked visibly angry.
“The Young Master is still too young. It’s not suitable for him to play in the playground.”
Eli was annoyed. “Are you done yet? As his mother, I’m going to take him out to have some fun. Is it really your place to speak right now? I’ll take responsibility if something happens.”
“It’s not as easy as what you say. The Master said that it is okay for you to go out for a day or two. However, the Young Master is not allowed to go out casually.” Auntie Zachary said with her head lowered.
Eli understood. She picked up her phone and called Sean Yaleman.
Sean hung up the phone and did not answer.
Eli called again.
She didn’t care if Sean had something important to do, or whether he hated her or not. In fact, she hoped that Sean would hate her and let her get out of here.
She called a few times in a row. Sean finally answered at the fourth time.
“What’s wrong, babe? I’m at a press conference right now.” It sounded like Sean was in a good mood, and he didn’t lose his temper or fly into a rage.
Eli shuddered. “Who’s your babe? Don’t disgust me.”
Sean chuckled and asked clearly, “Who made you angry?”
Eli took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. “I wanted to take my son and Natalie to the amusement park tomorrow. We will come back at night. Let us go out.”
“Well, okay, take Auntie Zachary and Auntie Yard with you. They can take care of the baby for you. You and your best friend can have time to have a good chat.” Sean said straightforwardly.
Eli kept her mouth shut.
She didn’t want Auntie Zachary and Auntie Yard to follow her to the amusement park. They would only be there to monitor her. She wanted to go abroad with Natalie and play for a month.
But if she said that she didn’t want to take them there, Sean would definitely suspect her.
“Why have you gone quiet? Are you dissatisfied with my arrangement? You don’t have other plans, do you?” After saying the last sentence, Sean’s tone became cold.
Eli felt a chill run down her spine.
Sean was really naughty ever since he was a child. This trait of his did not change even after he grew up.
“Since you’ve already made such an arrangement, even if I don’t like it, would you change it according to my preferences?” Eli asked.
“No, I wouldn’t.” Sean refused immediately. “However, you can ask me for a gift. I will give it to you when I return.”
“Are you going to give me anything I want?” Eli asked again.
“Of course not. In fact, you can only take whatever I give to you, hehe.” Sean’s mood became better.
“Ha.” Eli also laughed. Her voice was cold, with a bit of mockery.
She hung up the phone. “Bah, I don’t care about anything you give to me.”
Natalie looked at Eli worriedly. “Did he disagree?”
“He agreed, as long as Auntie Zachary and Auntie Yard come with us.” Eli took Natalie’s hand helplessly and said to Hendrick, “Send the dinner to my room.”
“Yes.”
She took Natalie to the room and locked the door. She complained, “Sean is such a fascist. He deliberately asked Auntie Yard and Auntie Zachary to keep an eye on us. He really is a b*stard.”
“How’s this? Take your son to the toilet tomorrow, and then go out using the elevator. Then, wait for me at the airport. When we realize that you had been gone for a while, I will feign an excuse to look for you. It’s best if we do it half an hour before boarding, so it will be easy to run away.” Natalie suggested.
“That’s the only way. What about the luggage? Are you going to check in the hotel first and then check out?” Eli asked.
“Let’s go to the amusement park first. You all should have fun with the rides. I will then say that I’m going to the hotel, when in fact, I’ll be storing my luggage at the airport first.”
“I remember that we’re not allowed to carry big luggage onto the plane. And it’ll take one hour to check-in.” Eli thought for a moment. “Forget it. Let’s carry a backpack and put some summer clothes in. When we get to X Country, we’ll buy new clothes. It’ll save us some trouble.”
“That’s good. You should go to bed early tonight so that you would have enough energy to escape tomorrow. Then you can have fun overseas.” Natalie lay on Eli’s bed.
“Have fun overseas. I like this sentence.” Eli also smiled and lay next to Natalie and turned on the TV.
The news was playing on TV.
Natalie glanced at the TV and then sat up in shock. Her eyes widened in surprise, and there were worry and panic in her eyes…
