An online user commented: 11 bet that this man is definitely Mr. Jeremy Herman.]

Another one wrote: [Mr. Herman's physique is truly remarkable. His waist and legs just amaze me. Why would Natalie need a sugar daddy while she has Mr. Herman? I think it must be a misunderstanding. I am just an onlooker waiting for clarification.] [The whole sugar daddy thing must be a misunderstanding. We all believe in Natalíc. Oh, by the way, Natalie and Mr. Herman look so cute together with their height. difference.] Maybe Mr. Herman will clarify it with Natalie. Ah, they are really dating.]

Remember that Smooth Skin incident. It was like a CEO comforting his cute wife. Now as these sugar daddy rumors spread around, Mr. Herman is showing off his love again. He's a real man. I hope they will stay happy together.] Darren looked annoyed, thinking, "These people must be blind. Jeremy isn't as tall as me. He doesn't have long legs either. And his charisma is nothing like mine. What makes them think he is me? He is interior to me.

Darren clenched his phone and licked his teeth. He looked at Natalie and then at the comments. Feeling a pang of discomfort, he couldn't help but ask, "What's relationship with Jeremy?"

your

Natalie slowly looked over. "Why does it concern you?"

"Why wouldn't it be my business?" Darren got more intense, placing his hands on the table and speaking seriously, "Ms. Xavier, I need to remind you something. We just got divorced six months ago. And you've already found someone else?" Natalie responded effortlessly, "They say to reflect on yourself before criticizing others. Mr. Luther, take a look at yourself first. You are about to remarry. How do you have the nerve to accuse me?" Darren was slightly taken aback, and then his eyes darkened. "Are you jealous?"

With a chuckle, Natalie thought, 'Here we go. He is being narcissistic again. "People become cheeky when they reach middle age. Would you please just shut up and eat?" she remarked, shaking her head.

Darren became edgy to get this response. He wasn't willing to let it go and asked again, "Are you going to tell me your relationship or not?"

"No, I won't, she replied.

Barren sulked. "If you don't tell me. Im not eating"

Natalie prosed, a look of surprise flashing across her face. Then she composed herself, poured a cup of coffee, and pushed it over to him "Well, drink some coffee to wash your mouth

Darren's face darkened at her mocking, but the petite woman next to him was eating with great appetite as if nothing could bother her. Thinking of the uproar online, het asked. "What's your plan for dealing with the online gossip? Natalie gave him a long, serious look. "Mr. Luther, no talking while eating?

"Nice! Now she is lecturing me. Had I known how ungrateful she was, I never would have involved myself in her business. What an ungrateful woman! Darren picked up the coffee cup to take a sip while suddenly remembering her comment about washing his mouth, and he set the cup down heavily.

Why should he drink coffee? Darren was so angry that he didn't eat a single bite during the meal.

Natalie ignored him and continued her meal. By the time she finished, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Howard's next plan for them was to go to watch a movie.

But Natalie didn't want to be alone with Darren in an enclosed space, so she decided not to go. "Let's go back to the Luther residence."

Darren felt uncomfortable about her deciding to s**p the movie, but he kept quiet on the way back.

He leaned back in the seat and closed his eyes to rest. Surprisingly, Natalie didn't say anything either. In no time, she had fallen asleep, breathing steadily.

He gasped when he opened his eyes and looked at her.

Her small, smooth-skinned face was adorned with sunglasses.

With the sunglasses draped loosely over her high nose bridge, her petite nose looked even more delicate. Her rich lips were slightly parted, glistening in the sunlight that streamed in through the window.

Her smooth, graceful shoulders came into view, and he knew just how soft she was.

Darren swallowed. The memory of that passionate night drove him to unconsciously move closer until there was just a fist's distance between them. Seeing her up close made Darren's mind run wild. Just then, a small hand pressed against his face, pushing his head backward,

said lazily. "Mr. Luther, have some self-respect."

t long ago, he had told her to have self-respect. Now, she was saying those same words to him. Darren raised his eyebrows and chuckled softly. "Heh, you think I want to do something to you?" "If not, why are you leaning over?"

Natalle shrugged and said. You were talking in your sleep just now. I wanted to hear it clearly."Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Darren kept a straight face.

Natalie made a sound of agreement. "Go on. Keep making something up. I almost believed you."

Darren was fuming. 'Why does everything she says make me so angry now?"

He retreated to his seat, purposefully maintaining a considerable distance between them to show his attitude.

couldn't fall back asleep after being woken up. She took out her phone and logged into Twitter. Her name was still on the trending topics. It had been fourteen hours since the tweet revealing she had a sugar daddy was posted. The online opinions were pretty much She quickly skimmed through the comments. They were all criticizing her messy personal life, demanding an explanation.

Natalie first sent a message to Arthur on WhatsApp.

Queen Natalie: [Did you talk things over with those men?]

YC: [Yeah.]

Queen Natalie: [OK]

She calmly retweeted the tweet revealing her having six sugar daddies and left a comment: Just wait. See you on Sunday.]

B/5

The moment she tweeted that, it went viral on the Internet.

Someone commented: [What? She's back from the dead? Natalie isn't playing dumb. anymore? Did she finally come forward to clarify it after a long day?]

[See you on Sunday? If you want to explain, do it today. If you can't, accept the accusation. Could you not keep us waiting? Are you toying with us?] Natalie, we believe in you. We know you're innocent. Let's make them eat their words. tomorrow.]

[Boohoo... Natalic, you finally show up. I thought you were never going to explain it.]

in her tweets. I wonder if she can counterattack this time too.]

I'm not a fan of Natalie. She always says tough thing she always follows through on it. Now that she says "See you on Sunday," I believe there will be some breaking news.]

[Hasn't anyone noticed? When Natalie says something,

Please share any juicy information you may have. Keeping it won't help you get off the**k. After a whole day of silence, Natalie simply said "See you tomorrow." Will she postpone it to the day after tomorrow?]

Natalie's phone kept buzzing with notifications, but she ignored them and signed off.

At that moment, Tessa sitting in front of her computer also saw the same tweet. She didn't believe Natalie could fight back. The info she posted should be enough to ruin Natalie. Just like some online users said, if Natalie had been innocent, she would have made a statement already, rather than waiting until now. Tessa thought, 'It is all just a bluff. Did Natalie think she could scare me with this? I am not afraid at all.] At 5 p.m., after the car stopped at the Luther residence, Darren led Natalie into the house.

It wasn't Kate opening the door, but Vivian.

The three of them stood there, staring at each other.

Vivian looked at Darren with confusion and then at Natalie. "Darren, Ms. Xavier, why did you come here together?"

She asked knowingly, "What's the relationship between you two?"
