Natalie didn't expect that Marcel would come out and call her Natalie instead of Rae.
She was frightened and looked at him with her beautiful eyes wide open.
Looking at her pale face, Marcel felt funny and said, "I'm so terrible, huh? Why are you so scared? When you pretend to be Rae, you should have thought of this day! "
All of a sudden, Natalie came to her senses. She turned around and forced a stiff smile at him. "You, you've already known that I'm Natalie?"
"Are you?" Hearing her heartbeat, Marcel looked at her strangely, who was trying to calm down.
Facing Marcel's emotionless eyes, Natalie was frightened. She was very scared, but she knew that she couldn't escape this time!
Marcel had forced her to face it!
It was as if Natalie had fallen into an ice cellar all of a sudden. Her skin was scratched by the cold all over her body. She felt that her whole body was sinking into the endless abyss, and there was nothing to cling to.
She was still held by him and couldn't see his expression, but she knew that he must have known it. She could only be petrified and held her breath. It was not until she heard Marcel chuckle that he whispered in her ear gently, "Natalie, look at you. Why are you so nervous?"
His tone had never been so gentle before. It was not like him at all. His calm and attractive voice was like a frightening devil's voice in Natalie's ears. She knew that he was angry. He was absolutely angry!
"Listen to me. I know I'm wrong, but..." Natalie's forehead began to sweat and her voice was trembling, but her heart was in a mess and she couldn't organize her words.
Marcel let go of her and looked down at her indifferently.
As time went by, there was a terrible silence between the two of them. Looking at Natalie's trembling lips, Marcel couldn't help but press his fingers to rub them along the beautiful lips.
Her lips were as attractive as fresh cherries. He knew it was extremely great to kiss her, as if he had eaten the most delicious dessert in the world
Marcel waited patiently for a long time, but she didn't say anything. With a cold smile on his face, he said, "tell me, I'm listening to you."
Seeing his expression, Natalie became more and more flustered. She quickly held his fingers lingering between her lips and said, "I know you are angry. Please don't be angry first, okay? I really don't want to hide it from you, but I... "
Marcel withdrew his sight and pulled his hand back. With a fake smile on his face, he said, "I'm wondering when you are going to tell me the truth. I've waited for you for a long time and repeatedly hinted you to give you time, but you didn't respond at all. Natalie, I hinted you last night, but you refused to admit it! You've been in a trance all day long, including seeing Reuben. You've probably told Reuben everything, but you don't believe me? Natalie, what do you think of me? Five years ago, I was your senior fellow apprentice, and now, I am your man. But you don't believe me! "
"..." Natalie stared at his eyes and became more and more scared. Her voice was trembling beyond words. "I don't doubt you. I'm just afraid!"
Marcel ignored her and walked slowly to the window of the corridor. He looked out of the window for a long time without saying anything.
"I want to turn myself in when my investigation is almost done, but..." Natalie followed him anxiously and found that her legs were weak. He was much calmer than before, but she had never been so afraid.
She felt that there seemed to be many layers of airtight glass between them all of a sudden. He seemed very close, but there were so many suffocating barriers that made her desperately want to get closer to him.
"It's okay. Don't bother to explain. I know you don't trust me." Marcel looked at Natalie, who was trying to make her believe him. He thought that she was so arrogant that she hadn't told him the truth yet.
She suddenly stretched out her hand and faced Marcel. She took a deep breath and said to Marcel as if she had made up her mind, "Captain Hopkins, I turn myself in now!"
When she reached out her hands, Marcel finally heard what Natalie said. He was relieved and sad, and his eyes could not help but be gentle.
The way Natalie looked at the man gradually turned into gentle and concerned eyes. The fear in her heart was a little peaceful, and then she calmed down a little and said, "I'm Natalie. I turn myself in. I've pretended to be Rae for five years!"
Seeing her like this, Marcel smiled and took her hand, “I've received your confession and put it on file now! But before that, you go in with me and have dinner with our teacher first! You don't need to say anything. It's up to me! "
Rae was speechless. She didn't know what Marcel was up to!
She wanted to ask, but Marcel had already grabbed her hand and pulled her into the hotel room.
When Natalie came back, she saw everyone's expression and didn't dare to look at them anymore!
Everyone looked at her. Natalie lowered her eyes, allowing Marcel to pull her to sit down at the table.
They sat next to Professor Watson.
Natalie's heart skipped a beat.
Marcel smiled at them and said calmly, “This is my girlfriend, Rae, and also my future wife!"
When he introduced them, everyone was stunned.
And Natalie's heart trembled even more!
She looked up at Marcel and didn't know what he was thinking!
Marcel looked at her with a smile, as if comforting her restless heart.
After that, Natalie didn't know how to enjoy the meal.
Professor Watson was sitting next to her and looked at her several times. Natalie couldn't sit still anymore!
But she refrained herself.
This was what she should endure!
When everyone was gone, only Professor Watson was left.
Holding Natalie's hand, Marcel said to Professor Watson, "teacher, we need your help!"

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
