Natalie Wheeler remembered the first time when she met Frederick Addington. He knew that she was a medical student, then he said that he knew all the directors of the hospitals in A City, and he could arrange a job for her.
Natalie smiled, “You seem to have forgotten Sean’s identity. It’s easy for me to get a job. It’s just that I want to rely on myself, so you don’t have to worry about me.”
“So, are you not giving me a chance at all?” Frederick said disappointingly.
“If I give you a chance, you will only be putting more effort into it. The more effort you put in, the more resentment you will have in the end. If you know that it’s impossible, it’s better to snuff out your affection as soon as possible. I want to go to the bathroom before the plane takes off. Is there anything else that you want to tell me, Mr. Addington?” Natalie asked politely.
“Will I see you again in the future?” Frederick asked.
“Since it’s already impossible between us, then there’s no need to waste time. Let’s just regard each other as strangers when we meet next time, unless necessary,” Natalie did not give him a chance at all.
Frederick’s possessive desire was so frightening that he would destroy whatever he could not get. She had experienced it once before, so she refused to get involved with him for the second time.
She went to the bathroom and was afraid that Frederick would wait outside, so she deliberately in the bathroom for more than ten minutes.
When she came out of the bathroom, the passengers of the flight were already waiting in line to board.
With her head lowered, Natalie walked to the end of the line and took out her mobile phone to play the game, Dog Town.
The dog had been sleeping for a long time. It needed to go to the toilet and eat. Its body was dirty as well.
Natalie got the dog to go to the toilet, took a bath, and ate. Then, she up-ranked to level 48.
After playing the Dog Town for a while, she began to board. Frederick did not disturb her. Natalie breathed a sigh of relief and got on the plane. She lay down in her seat and closed her eyes to take a nap.
“Could I change seats with you? My seat is in the first-class cabin.”
Natalie heard Frederick’s voice and she opened her eyes in surprise to look at him.
Of course, any person would definitely be willing to go to the first-class seat. Frederick sat down next to Natalie and smiled evilly, “I happen to have a customer in Paris, so I am also going there.”
Natalie was speechless.
Frederick was really good at pursuing women. If it wasn’t because she knew him well, an ordinary girl would be tempted by such a handsome, rich, and generous guy, just like how she used to be.
She did not expose him, nor did she answer him. She merely closed her eyes and took a nap.
Frederick also lay down and looked at her.
Natalie turned her back against him.
“Hey beautiful, could you please bring me two blankets,” Frederick said to the stewardess.
The stewardess smiled and handed two new blankets to him. Frederick removed the wraps and covered Natalie with one of the blankets.
Natalie did not move and she continued to pretend to sleep with her eyes closed. She did not fall asleep until a long time had passed.
She was woken up by the sound of the inflight announcement. She was almost in Paris.
Natalie looked at the time, it was 5:45 am. When she opened the window shade, the sun had not come out yet.
“We should be able to see the sunrise on the plane. The moment when the sun rays shine through the clouds is very beautiful,” Frederick said with a smile.
“Mm.” Natalie answered, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
Frederick let her through.
Natalie went to the bathroom to freshen herself. There were a lot of people lining up at the bathroom, so she did not stay for a long time and quickly returned to her seat.
“Will Allen be picking you up?” Frederick asked.
“Yeah,” Natalie took out some cosmetics from her bag, applied some face cream, and then put on some lipstick.
Frederick kept looking at her, “How long have you been with Allen?”
Natalie looked at him and asked, “Not long, why?”
“It would be great if I knew you before Allen,” Frederick said regretfully.
Natalie smiled, “Even if you knew me before Allen, the situation would be the same. To be honest, Mr. Addington, you are not my cup of tea.”
“What kind of man do you like then? A gentleman like Allen?” Frederick asked curiously.
“A loyal one,” Natalie said three simple words.
Frederick gave a wry smile, “If I tell you that I had stayed single for three years for my wife and even wanted to be a eunuch for her, would you believe me?”
“I would, but weren’t you just trying to pursue me now?” Natalie asked.
“Didn’t you ask me to let go?” Frederick asked.
Natalie smiled brightly, like a blooming flower.
The sun penetrated through the clouds, and the sunlight fell on her face through the window. Natalie said, “Everyone stands from different viewpoints, so they would think in different ways. In the end, both parties will think that they are reasonable and will resent the other for not being more understanding. This proves that two people with different life values and outlooks on life are unable to live together.”
“What if I change? What do you want me to do?” Frederick was a little annoyed.
The plane was descending, and it was announced that the plane was about to arrive in Paris, so the passengers should remain in their seats.
Natalie looked at Frederick, “There are several factors to have a happy and simple marriage. First, both of you should have similar outlooks on life. Second, you must also have similar moral values. Third, loyalty, and fourth, a sense of responsibility. Let me give you an example of the outlook on life. A girl will give a beggar ten dollars every day whenever she walked past him. Do you think this is right, or wrong?”
“It depends on the relationship between the beggar and the girl. It also depends on the girl’s economic capability. Or, whether something special had happened in her recent life. It can’t be judged with just one factor,” Frederick said with his deduction skills.
Natalie smiled and said, “For me, it’s none of my business whether the girl is right or wrong. I don’t care. After all, it’s someone else’s business. Why should I have to gossip about it?”
Frederick was speechless.
“Let’s talk about moral values then. In order to pursue a girl, you have to spend a lot of money. The first-class seat from X Country to Paris costs about 3, 500 dollars, right?” Natalie asked.
Frederick didn’t say anything.
“It doesn’t matter if you are not my husband. But if you are my husband, I don’t think I will live a good life with the way you spend.”
“That depends on one’s personal economic capability. For me, 3, 500 dollars is almost the same as one cent,” Frederick said with dissatisfaction.
“Therefore, the way we value things are different. I am not a person who cares about romance. What I want is to live a stable life. Well, Mr. Addington, I think I have said enough. I wish you a pleasant journey,” Natalie smiled.
When the plane arrived at the airport, she gathered her belongings and prepared to leave. Frederick stopped her from leaving and he looked at her deeply, “Didn’t I say that I will change according to what you want? You can manage the money in the future.”
“I don’t like to manage other people’s money, I’m sorry. Excuse me,” Natalie said coldly.
Frederick frowned and gave way to her.
Natalie got off the plane and turned on her cell phone.
The phone messages kept popping up, and many of them were missed calls from Jasper.
Natalie took a deep breath and called Jasper first.
Before the call was connected, she saw Jasper standing in front of her…
