Chapter 134 Issues with the Surgery
Natalie was still unaware of what had happened at the Johnson Manor.
She had been in meetings the whole day in the office. When she returned to Elegance Bay, Stephen was already waiting for her at the dining table.
He had told her that he had planned to leave in three days, but then had extended his stay for some
unknown reason.
“The dishes tonight look good,” Natalie sat down and remarked to Stephen.
Stephen glanced at her and said, “Of course! They’re all your favorites.”
“Thank you, Uncle.”
“You’ve settled everything on your end, so I should be heading back tomorrow,” he mentioned,
He had received the news in the afternoon. Rebecca had revoked all actions against Natalie, indicating
that the Johnson family was now aware of their relationship. As long as they knew their limits, he felt
reassured.
Natalie raised an eyebrow at him. “Tomorrow?”
“Yes.”
Natalie was silent.
“I stayed because I was worried about you, but now it seems there’s nothing to worry about!‘ he teased.
This girl knew exactly what to use to her advantage and was not shy about it. Otherwise, how could the Johnson family easily revoke those actions?
Looking at Stephen, Natalie said, “Yeah. I think it’s about time for you to go home.”
Although she felt a bit reluctant, Heather was still waiting for Stephen, and she was an extremely fragile woman. In the past few days, he had received countless calls.
Stephen took a bite of vegetables. Then, he glanced at Natalie and asked, “What do you think of Irwin?”
Natalie paused, a bit surprised by the sudden mention of Irwin.
a good she replied indifferently.
know much about Irwin’s character. They had only collaborated on a project and shared a leve
Natalie only cared about the success of her studio and their business quality, personal qualities were
irrelevant to her.
Stephen noticed her casual attitude and said. “You need to learn how to judge people, hmm?”
“As long as the project is successful, payments are on time, and business quality is good, what else do I need to care about? What more do you expect me to see in people?” Natalie retorted.
Stephen sighed internally. This wasn’t working!
“What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong? These are all teachings you gave me back in Simeria!”
Stephen was speechless.
That was true!
After all, he never cared about what kind of person each business partner was in private; he only cared about the quality of their business.
Typically, the bosses who manage to grow a business to a large scale wouldn’t have poor business qualities.
As for their personal lives, whether they were humane or not.
Well, that remained unknown.
“…Ahem!” Stephen cleared and put down his utensils.
He looked at Natalie and said, “You need to understand, now, you’re not just looking at business partners but also your life partner,”
Natalie stiffened, and the utensils made a faint clattering sound as they dropped on the table.
Stephen picked them up and handed them to Natalie.
His gaze remained sharp as he continued, “Even if Cedric has some intentions towards you, you wouldn’t want to return to the Johnson family.”
Putting aside Natalie’s thoughts about the situation, Stephen would still have the final say even if she told him she still had feelings for Cedric now.
When Stephen mentioned the Impossibility between her and Cedric, Natalie felt a sudden, piercing pain in
heart.
The pain felt as if it came from another lifetime

However, it was just a fleeting moment. The feeling disappeared soon after.
“So, why did you bring up Irwin?” she asked.
“The situation with the Frazier family is somewhat complicated, but he is a responsible man!” Stephen
considered for a moment before explaining.
Natalie frowned.
She understood her uncle’s concern–was he worried she wouldn’t find a suitable match?
Taking a deep breath, she said, “Alright, Uncle.”
With that, he slid a ticket to a concert in front of her. “Tomorrow night at seven. Be on timel
“But I…” Natalie started,
“Irwin likes this kind of concert,” Stephen interrupted.
But don’t you have any business dealings with the Frazier family?” Natalie asked.
“What? Are you suspecting that I’m arranging a business marriage for you?”
had seen Stephen arrange several blind dates for Winona back when she was in Simeria, but
tended any of them,
Hmph!” Natalie snorted.
It’s for your own good, can’t you see? Or do you want to wait for Cedric?” Stephen continued.
