Chapter 26
Tm worried about you, John. Just let me take you home.
Natalie held onto the mans arm and blinked coquettishly at him. If he were to reject her again, even after I spoke on Natalie’s behalf, it would definitely arouse her suspicion
Thus, he didn’t refuse this time and agreed to have Natalie send him home. After the two of them left. I settled the bill and took a taxi back to Natalie’s house.
As I was officially starting work the next day. I made sure to prepare everything! needed in advance, lest I ended up lale on my first day
Glancing at the wall clock. I noticed that it was already mine. I assumed that Natalie would be back home late and prepared to call it a night.
However, the front door opened moments after and Natalie walked in. Upon seeing her back so soon, a frown formed between my brows and I made my way toward her.
“Why are you back 50 soon? Why didn’t you spend more quality time with your boyfriend7 | draped an arm over her
shoulder and teased
“He said he’s tired. He told me to go home before I could even go upstairs with him. Anna, did I do something wrong? Otherwise, why was he so cold to me Today?”
Natalie raised her head to look at me with
a dejected look on her face
After hearing what she said, rage surged in my heart once again. Tired” is just an excuse. He probably feels guilty, that’s why!
And this silly girl thinks she did something wrong when it’s clearly thar priek who’s cheating on her
I took a deep breath to quell my rage. I already gave John a wavring earlier today. If he changes, then all is wo. But if I find out he’s playing with Natalie’s feelings. Y never let him off the hook
“What are you talking about, Natalie? Do you know how hard it is to find a girlfriend who is as lund and sweet as you? John is lucky to have you as his girlfriend, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.”
Natalie usually seemed unconcerned, she
was, in fact, kind and very loyal to her friends. All in all, she was a very likeable person.
“Well, this is a first. I don’t recall you ever praising me like thai before.”
My words seemed to work like a charm as made her break into a pretty smile.
“I have some advice for you. Pay closer attention to John from now on. Observe him and his demeanor more.”
Worried that she would put her whole heart into this relationship. I couldn’t help myself from giving her a reminder. If John didn’t change, she would be the one who got hurt, and that was the last thing | wanted to see
“What’s that supposed to mean, Anna7 You don’t believe he truly loves me? Your previous relationships musi’ve scarred you Preily badly for you to be this cynical.”
Natalie looked at me with amusement, not taking my advice seriously whatsoever.
Perhaps she was already convinced that John Loved her and that the two of them would live happily ever after.
Natalie seemed to realize that she had slipped up and ripped the band-aid off my wound. She wanted to say something, but I didn’t give her the chance to speak and directly went back to my room.
