Natasya and Hardy finally stopped after a long battle in the car. She decided to drop the act since she had already made it this far. She held his neck and probed, “We are already parts of each other. You have to accept me as your girlfriend!”
Hardy did not refuse her due to the vermin effect, “Okay then!”
“Really?” Natasya did not expect him to agree with her so quickly. “Would you take me as your wife if I insist on a marriage?”
Hardy’s behavior was different compared to yesterday and he agreed once again, “Of course!”
“What about Talitha? What are you going to do with her?”
Hardy frowned when Natasya deliberately brought Talitha into the picture. He was interested in both sisters as he was under control by the two of them. He struggled to choose one candidate and said, “Well… Talitha is pregnant with me. I can’t turn my back against her.”
“How are you going to marry me then?” Natasya questioned.
“Erm… let me think about it.” Hardy still did not manage to come up with an idea despite thinking about it for a long time, “Natasya, I can’t drop my feelings for Talitha. My heart would be broken if I were forced to break up with her.”
“What about me? How could you be so heartless to turn a blind eye on me?” Natasya queried further.
“That won’t happen as my heart would be aching in pain too. I cannot choose one of you as my wife and I really don’t know what to do,” Hardy decided to lure Natasya.
He was in his sound mind and could still think rationally. He was currently being caught in a mess for having unexpected fond feelings for both sisters.
It was uncontrollable and he could not stop himself from being in love with them.
It was well evidenced that Hardy had caught feelings for Talitha and Natasya at the same time. Besides, he could not forgo one of them as he would then suffer from heartbreak. The Anderson family would soon be in a mess as this was the price that they had to pay for plotting against Hardy.
There could only be one Mrs. Anthony and it was impossible for Hardy to take both sisters as his wives. Hence, a match between both sisters would soon begin and the winner would all depend on their capability and intelligence.
“Why are you being such a bad boy? Why didn’t you sit down and have a good think about it? Why would you put us in such a tough spot?”
Hardy apologetically replied, “Natasya, I really don’t have an exact answer and I should come clean to you now. I do adore you as well as your sister and I could not control myself. I know this is a despicable thing but I really wish to spill myself in half so that I would not be in such an awkward situation.”
Natasya was out of words but was clearly aware that Hardy said this due to the vermin effect.
It had influenced his mind which had made him unwilling to give up on Talitha. Hence, Natasya decided that she was the only one who could get Talitha out of the picture.
However, Talitha and Hardy were currently indeed a couple and Talitha was the one who poisoned him. Besides, she was also currently pregnant with Hardy.
Natasya would clearly be at fault should she try to win Hardy over from her sister. Raelyn and Devon would definitely be pissed off and Natasya needed to think of a way to get things done.
She needed to ensure that her relationship with Hardy still remained a secret before she come up with something.
The footage of Hardy and Natasya was being sent to Bobby at the speed of light. He roughly glanced through it and decided to seek for William, “William, we have gotten ahold of the footage regarding Hardy and Natasya. Do you want to have a look?”
Valeria swiftly stood up and refused, “No!”
“Don’t worry honey, I won’t!” William chuckled and continued, “I am clearly aware that I would be in deep trouble if I watch those indecent things.”
Valeria felt relieved upon hearing his reply. Bobby held back his laughter and asked William, “Sir, what are you going to do with this footage?”
William thought for a moment and said, “Cut out a section of the footage and send it over to Talitha.”
“Are you planning to start your revenge trip now? Don’t you want to give Hardy a breather before things get rough?” Valeria asked.
“Of course not! I am not finished yet.” William let out an evil laugh and continued, “Blur out Hardy’s face and just get ahold of Natasya’s angle instead.”
Valeria frowned and asked, “Why would you do that?”
“Well, this is just the opening act for Talitha. She will be convinced that Natasya is playing around with some other men and would definitely report this to Raelyn. I am curious to know how Raelyn and Devon would react upon knowing that their daughter had done doing such a thing.”
“How naughty of you!” Valeria poked William’s forehead.
“What?” William squinted and continued with a smile on his face, “The best is yet to come.”
Talitha returned back to the hotel in an upset mood. Raelyn was taken aback by her expression and asked, “What happened? Who had made you in such a depressed mood?”
“Of course it’s Hardy!” Talitha sat down and told Raelyn about his broken promise to have lunch with her.
“Mummy, I’m pissed off! I have been anticipating his gift but he unexpectedly called off the date. Is he really such a busy man? He proposed to have an appointment with me but was also the one who had a sudden change of mind. He is just messing around with me.”
“Talitha, Calm down. He is the president of the company and managing the business is part of his responsibility, right? I don’t think he stood you up on purpose as he was the one who initiated the date. He would not notify you in advance if he really intends to mess around with you.”
Talitha felt much better after Raelyn’s advice. She realized Natasya was not at home and asked, “Where is my sister?”
“She went out just now.”
“How did she have the guts to set foot out during this period of time?” Talitha was surprised and questioned further, “Isn’t she afraid of people frowning upon the sight of her?”
“Talitha, mind your language. She is your sister and it is not nice to criticize her like that.”
“I said this without her presence, didn’t I? Mummy, do you happen to know where she has gone to?” Talitha questioned as she was very curious.
“Nope.”
“That’s weird! I’m really interested in her whereabouts now. Mummy, do ask her about it when she comes back home later,” Talitha wanted to know what was Natasya up to.
“Okay, I’ll ask her about it later. You should head back to your room and rest up as it is getting late. You need not strain yourself too much as you are currently pregnant.”
Talitha agreed and went back to her room. She heard the sound of the house door being opened just as she was about to take a nap. Raelyn’s voice was then heard, “Natasya, you’re finally home. Have you eaten yet?”
Natasya certainly did not have time to eat as she was busy in a hot and messy war with Hardy just now. Their date had come to an end as Hardy needed to head back to his company upon receiving an urgent call. She shook her head and said, “Nope. Mummy, help me to order a takeaway as I am really starving right now!”
Raelyn nodded and dialed the takeaway restaurant to place her order. Talitha forwent her napping plan upon hearing that Natasya had returned home. She immediately opened the door and came out of her room. Her gaze was coincidentally met with Natasya’s upon her arrival at home.
Natasya immediately avoided her stare and was acting rather awkward. Talitha asked, “Why are you still feeling hungry despite this late hour? Natasya, where did you go?”
“I had some business to deal with,” Natasya replied but still continued to avoid Talitha’s gaze. She felt a bit embarrassed although she was not on good terms with Talitha as she had betrayed her after all. Natasya, who was guilty shied away from Talitha but instead glanced at Raelyn and said, “I shall head back to my room now as I am feeling a little bit tired.”
Talitha had realized that her sister was acting weird and continued to fix her eyes on her. She then suddenly realized that Natasya had a few red marks on her neck.
