Natalie glanced at Bianca and said, "Why do you ask?".
"Just curious. I wonder who gave you those eyes," Bianca casually deflected.
Natalie didn't press further.
However, neither of them mentioned Cedric again.
After lunch, Natalie didn't stay with Bianca anymore because she missed Luna. Spending such a long
time away from the child was already challenging.
Bianca didn't stop her from leaving.
As they stepped out, they bumped into Zane and the fourth lady of the Entes family, Yvette.
Or was it the former fourth lady now that she seemed to have divorced Alto?
Yvette had tears in her eyes and was pleading, "Zane, let her go! Otherwise, my father..."
Before Yvette could finish, Natalie stepped forward and interrupted, "Zane!"
Their conversation stopped abruptly!
Both sets of eyes turned towards Natalie, and in that moment, she could feel Yvette's dissatisfaction
emanating from her gaze.
However, Natalie didn't let that bother her.
She approached Zane. "Have you had lunch?"
"Not yet."
"Why didn't you come back earlier, then? Bia and I have already eaten."
At the sight of Natalie, Zane's gaze softened slightly. Meanwhile, Yvette keenly felt this change.
She looked at Zane, then at Natalie.
What was happening between them? What was this?!
At that moment, Yvette felt like a huge stone was blocking her heart. It made her feel heavy and
suffocated.
Natalie said, "You go in first. I'll head back."
"You're leaving already?"
"Yeah, I have to go back."
"I'll have someone accompany you."
There was endless warmth in the man's tone that wasn't there before this.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie shook her head. "No need. I can see clearly now. No assistance necessary."
"Can you see colors clearly too?"
"Of course." Natalie smiled.
Zane nodded. "Alright."
"I'll be off then. Bia is still waiting for you." Natalie emphasized Bianca's name particularly heavily and
glanced at Yvette almost subconsciously.
During their time in Yuloria, Bianca had mentioned some things about her and Yvette. This woman
didn't seem as innocent as Bianca perceived her to be.
Just now, what did Yvette say?
Let her go...?
Who was she referring to?
This woman from Simeria wasn't as simple as she appeared, especially considering Yvette's years of
experience in the Entes family.
Bianca had been back for quite some time now. Hopefully, she had seen through this. After all, she had
undergone significant changes herself.
Zane watched Natalie enter the car and waited for her to drive off safely. Once the car disappeared
from sight, he turned away.
He looked at Yvette and said, "You should go back. Don't come here again in the future!"
The warmth in the man's eyes was gone!
Instead, there was only endless coldness.
This kind of coldness made Yvette's heart sink even more at this moment.
What was this...?!
"Just now, wasn't that the Jarvis family's daughter who has been wandering outside for years?"
"Yeah."
"You guys..."
Yvette seemed to remember something when it came to this, and her face turned a few shades paler.
She remembered...!
After Zane left the Entes family, he had been hiding within Regal Horizons International.
No matter how many people from the Entes family looked for him, there was no news whatsoever.
Zane had spent a long time working by Natalie's side, right?
Could it be that they...?!
"Zane!" When she thought of this, Yvette's lips trembled.
The suffocating feeling in her chest intensified.
Bianca's presence had already stirred up her dissatisfaction, and now Natalie...!
Thinking of the way Zane had looked at Natalie just now, Yvette felt even more threatened.
Everything had changed!
Truly... everything had changed.
Why? Why had Zane changed like this? Then what was she? What did her years of waiting amounted
to?
"You're my sister-in-law. You shouldn't be here!" Zane said sternly, ignoring the tears in Yvette's eyes.
The term made Yvette's already pale face even paler at that moment!
Cold... Zane was so cold!
At this moment, she felt not just the coldness in the air but also a chilling sensation in her soul.
She could feel how cold Zane was. It wasn't just from the coldness in his eyes but also from his
attitude.
Previously, he had only shown her tenderness and warmth.
However, why did he and the Jarvis family's daughter...?
Why?!
Zane had already turned and walked in, leaving Yvette standing in the cold wind. She was unable to
return to her senses for a long time...!
It was as if her mind had been completely swept away by the cold wind. It left her unable to react or
believe what had just happened.
Bianca... Natalie!
Previously, she thought Bianca was her biggest obstacle.
But now, Natalie had appeared...!
How could this happen!?
How could she?
She already had Cedric and Irwin. Why would she have such a relationship with Zane?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhy?
Why did this happen?! -
Inside, Bianca was on the sofa, petting the kitten. When she saw Zane return, she put the kitten aside
and approached him.
"You're back. Have you had lunch?"
Zane wrapped his arm around Bianca's slender waist without a word.
Bianca fell silent and instantly blushed!
Although they had been intimate in Yuloria, they had never brought it up after returning. Neither of them
mentioned what had happened as if it had never occurred!
Faced with Zane's overly intimate touch at this moment, the man's crisp breath almost enveloped
Bianca entirely.
Bianca took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I've more or less handled everything here!
It was a subtle reminder and also a chance to secretly observe Zane's reactions.
Since returning from Yuloria, Bianca had indeed dealt with many matters in Verdant Villa.
There wasn't a need to ask why she had done so.
Betrayal was what Bianca despised the most in her life!
Following one master but working for someone else was absolutely intolerable in Bianca's world.
So...!
Even if her relationship with Zane was merely contractual, those people indirectly touched Bianca's
bottom line.
The one thing people couldn't tolerate the most was someone touching their bottom line!
"Are you sure?" the man said meaningfully.
The certainty in Bianca's heart became somewhat uncertain at this moment.
Simeria was already a complicated place, and the Entes family was currently in a critical period. How
could she guarantee with 100% certainty that all the moles around Zane had been removed?
"Have you had lunch?" Bianca relaxed and allowed herself to be held by the man.
The man's eyes softened with a hint of amusement when she started acting so obediently.
Bianca couldn't see his smile from her angle.
It was a smile so deep, like the gentleness in the ocean's depths.
