Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 777

It was eleven o'clock by the time Natalie got into bed.

She was exhausted after cleaning and fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Natalie mused that it was true—when you're exhausted, you don't have time for overthinking.

She slept so soundly in the winter that she didn't even notice when Sebastian came in late at night.

He moved quietly, slipping into bed behind her. Seeing how deeply she was sleeping, a gentle smile touched his handsome face.

Then, he felt a bit disgusted with himself. This was his wife, yet he had to sneak into bed with her as if he were a thief.

They hadn't been intimate since the day they got married.

He had always been disciplined, but Natalie was so soft and smelled so good that she made his mind wander. He felt a stir of desire as he moved closer, inhaling the scent of her hair before closing his eyes to sleep.

The next morning, when Natalie woke up, it was already past nine.

The deep sleep had left her skin looking rosy and her whole body feeling refreshed.

She sat up, took a deep breath, and smiled faintly at the snowy landscape outside the window. A new day had begun.

A good night's sleep put her in a good mood.

She didn't even notice the traces of Sebastian having slept beside her.

She picked up her phone from the nightstand to check the time. Seeing that it was already nine, she figured Sebastian had already left for the office, so she didn't need to make breakfast.

Besides, she had to meet with Matthew today.

She needed to show him the design sketches for the spring collection.

After freshening up, Natalie went downstairs for breakfast.

To her surprise, breakfast was already prepared and sitting on the dining table.

It was oatmeal. Natalie was quite taken aback.

There was a note next to the bowl.

The woman with Sebastian was gorgeous, with a stunning figure. Despite the cold, she was dressed provocatively, with fiery red lips that gave her the commanding presence of a powerful woman.

Natalie paused for a second when she saw them.

Her eyes met Sebastian’s. She gave a slight nod and then looked away, pretending not to know him.

Sebastian frowned. Natalie had glanced at him for only a moment before turning away.

She was clearly trying to act like they were strangers.

Sean noticed the strange dynamic between the couple, a flicker of interest in his eyes.

Had they gotten into another fight?

The four of them entered the elevator. As a gust of cold air blew in, it carried a strong wave of the woman's perfume.

Natalie was taken aback. How much perfume had she put on? It was overpowering.

She recalled that Sebastian disliked perfume, just as she did.
