Natalie Wheeler knew exactly what Eli meant.
Eli Wayne loved freedom most. For the sake of her freedom, she could leave her parents and stay in a rental house outside. For the sake of her freedom, she could leave her stable career in obstetrics and gynecology without hesitation.
She had been compromising and staying by Sean’s side for two years for her.
“The good days are definitely coming soon,” Natalie comforted her.
“What’s coming soon?” At this moment, Sean Yaleman came into the room. His eyes swept over Natalie and fell on Eli’s face.
“Are you interested in our girls’ talk too? Sean, you should be a woman in your next life. No, you could be a woman in this life too, especially since the medical industry is so well-developed now,” Eli did not answer his question.
Sean walked to her side and looked at her with his eyes drooping. He replied naturally, “If I become a woman, what will you use in the future? Your fingers are not as pleasurable as my tool.”
Eli was speechless.
Her face turned red instantly.
Sean was so shameless that he could talk about this topic even in front of others.
Eli leaned on Natalie’s bed lazily, smiled, and said slowly, “Don’t worry. It’s not that hard to find a man with two legs, am I right?”
Sean’s face turned livid instantly, and his cold eyes contracted. He snapped, “What did you say?”
Eli realized that he was angry.
Sean was a terrifying monster whenever he was angry, but she refused to be back down, “Is there something wrong with your ears?”
Sean sneered, “Don’t worry. If I become a woman, I will definitely make you a man and work for me in the future. Your disobedience tires me. Not only do I have to use my physical and mental strength, but I need to make you feel good too. It’s so tiring.”
The more Sean said, the more flirtatious he became. He looked at Eli with keen eyes and full of possessiveness.
Eli was not as bold as he was, “Get out. I want to chat with Natalie.”
“I’ll give you an hour,” Sean said coldly. Then, he turned around and walked out of the room quickly.
Natalie looked at Sean’s retreating back and frowned.
If Sean was not the President and was still single, she would actually try to bring them together. After all, they had a baby together.
Unfortunately, Sean was already married.
After Sean left, Eli hurried to close the door and lock it.
Sean heard the sound of the door locking behind him. He frowned even more and he turned back to look at the door.
“I’m going to sleep with Natalie today. No need to wait for me the hour is up,” Eli said with her hands on her hips. Hearing that there was silence outside, she turned around and sat on Natalie’s bed.
“Natalie, listen, if you recover, perhaps I would be able to go far away,” Eli said happily.
She had always been straightforward, and her temper changed quickly.
“Sean can be very unpredictable, so we can’t let down our guard,” Natalie reminded her.
“Well, he had promised to allow me, you, and my baby to go traveling for a month as long as I successfully bid for ‘The Dreamy Girl’ with eight million dollars. I’ve already prepared my ID card in D country. Sean has no influence in D country. Besides, he has a grudge against a powerful man in D country. As long as he enters D country, he will die terribly. As long as I go to D country, I have nothing to worry about,” The more Eli thought about it, the happier she became.
“Still, you should keep a low profile. I’m pretty sure Sean is not that easy to deal with,” Natalie said worriedly.
“We’ll talk about him later. My concern now is using eight million dollars to bid for ‘The Dreamy Girl’ successfully. How do I make sure that my plan is foolproof?” Eli asked.
Natalie sat up and turned on her mobile phone to search for information about ‘The Dreamy Girl’.
“‘The Dreamy Girl’ was the early work of the famous painter, Stephen. The girl in the painting was the daughter of a jeweler in X Country. It is one of the masterpieces of abstract paintings,” Eli read out loud and looked at Natalie.
Natalie searched about Stephen and found that a painting of his was sold for seven hundred thousand dollars.
“That painting was sold for only seven hundred thousand dollars. I suppose eight million dollars should be enough, right?” Eli said uncertainly.
Natalie looked tense, “There must be a reason for Sean to give eight million dollars to you. It is either that the painter had died, so the value of the work had soared greatly. Or that the value of the painting is not the work itself. If you want to buy it, you have to find out the meaning behind the painting.”
“How do we find out?” Eli asked, feeling puzzled. She took out her mobile phone and searched “Is Stephen, the painter dead?”
“Stella, look, there is a reply online. Stephen has disappeared for two years, so he may really be dead.”
“It’s just a rumor. However, it may cause the value of the work to increase within a certain range. However, the range from 700 thousand dollars to 8 million dollars is too wide. I think there must be another reason. When is the auction?” Natalie asked cautiously.
“It will be held the day after tomorrow. It should be the night after tomorrow,” Eli answered.
“You should ask Sean if he knows Stephen’s address. We’ll visit him tomorrow,” Natalie suggested.
“Bingo, great! You are a master in psychology, so you will find out the hidden value of the painting for sure. You should rest first, and I will look for Sean,” Eli went out excitedly and forgot that she said she wanted to sleep with Natalie tonight.
Compared to eternal freedom, temporary grievances were nothing.
“Sean Yaleman!” Before Eli came into his sight, Sean could already hear her voice from afar.
In the whole villa, no one dared to call his full name except for her. He put down his phone and looked towards the door.
Eli rushed in and went straight to the point, “I want to visit Stephen tomorrow. He’s the artist of ‘The Dreamy Girl’.”
“I don’t know where he lives.”
Eli was speechless.
Did he really not know, or was he just refusing to tell her?
Eli walked to Sean with a frown, “Then why do you have to bid for ‘The Dreamy Girl’?”
“The girl in ‘The Dreamy Girl’ is Aneira Mallon. She is not only a jeweler, but she also owns countless diamond ores. She wants to exploit the market of A country and she is looking for business partners,” Sean explained.
“You are the President of A Country. With your status, if you wish to cooperate with her, does anyone else even stand a chance to compete against you?” Eli was puzzled.
“One plus one may not equal to two. Eight million dollars is my highest estimation. If I can’t get it, I would then miss this opportunity, because sometimes chances are accompanied by risks,” Sean said meaningfully.
Eli had a feeling that he was warning her on purpose.
“Then I’ll tell Natalie first.” As soon as she turned around, Sean had already lifted her up.
Eli’s heart tightened. She said in a panic, “Sean, what are you doing? Put me down.”
“Didn’t you say that my skills leave a lot to be desired? I want to learn and improve,” He said evilly and walked to the room, carrying her in his arms.
Eli understood what he meant, “But we’ve already done it earlier.”
“After you’ve already had your meal, do you not eat anymore in the future?” He said confidently.
“But we’ve already done it today,” Eli stressed the word ‘today’ on purpose.
“Didn’t you eat more than one meal today?
Eli was speechless.
She struggled to get down.
Sean was helpless. He had to force her every time. This resulted in her not enjoying it well, but she blamed him for not being good at it instead. “Be obedient. If I’m in a good mood, I will tell you a secret that you want to know.”
