Thomas pressed his lips together, not answering, and instead glanced at Natasha again.
She quietly watched the farce, her expression indifferent, showing no emotion.
Thomas sighed inwardly, realizing things were no longer the same.
Thomas eventually took Noel out of the police station because Madeline's mental state had improved, and she
wanted to see Noel.
Both sets of parents signed, and lawyers would naturally handle the rest.
After leaving the police station, Natasha offered to take Leonie home, but Leonie vehemently shook her head,
refusing.
What a joke. How could someone of her standing bother Alexei to be her driver?
She grinned, pulling her friends along. “No need to sendoff. I'll go with them. Everyone is staying at my
place tonight, and we’ll part ways tomorrow morning”

With so many people, safety wasn’t an issue. To take them home, Alexei arranged for two additional drivers to
escort them home.
Unlike the joyful scene of victory on the other side, the atmosphere between the Clark family brothers was cold
enough to freeze.
Noel watched Natasha, whose laughter was clear under a distant streetlamp, and suddenly asked Thomas,
“What you said just now is true? Will you really give up on me?”
Although there was an intention to use Natasha's soft heart to easily resolve the issue, the statement about not
wanting to deal with Noel was not an empty promise.
Noel, being closest to Thomas, was the most sensitive.
If not for the call from Madeline just now, Thomas might have left Noel alone at the police station.

“Why?” Noel's voice trembled

In just a short time, his parents were not the perfect parents he had imagined, hist sister was not the one he had
once been close to and trusted, and his brother had also revealed a cold and heartless side.
The happy and harmonious hhe had cherished for twenty-one years was shattered
“Aren't you my brother?” he asked, his voice filled with deep pain and doubt.
“Brother?” Thomas said mockingly, “If | could, | wouldn't want a younger brother.”
Noel's mind reeled as if struck, and he stood frozen in place

eyes, got into the car, and glanced at Noel, who was still standing foolishly. “Get in,” he said, “or are you walking

Noel's lips pursed into a straight line as he silently gazed at Thomas through the car window, seeing him as both
familiar and strange,
Thomas couldn’t be bothered to sort things out for Noel. In any case, he wouldn't see Madeline until tomorrow.

Leonie saw Noel, who had been left behind, from afar. Surprised, she nudged her friend next to her and
commented, “Now that’s a ‘plastic’ brotherhood.”
The relationships within that family appear to be even less close than the bond she shared with Alexei and
Natasha, her distant cousin and cousin-in-law.
Feeling the gazes from that direction, samused, ssympathetic, Noel stiffened his body and controlled
himself not to look at Natasha.

Her attitude was clear. He couldn't shamelessly ask for a ride again.
She would ignore him.

Just as he once stood with Olivia, she now stood against him, with no possibility of reconciliation.
Noel, clutching his shattered phone, walked alone into the night with an empty
heart.
After a tumultuous evening, Natasha collapsed onto the sofa as soon as she got home.
Alexei walked over, smiled, bent down, and kissed her face.. “Tired?”
Natasha rolled over, extending both arms toward him, signaling him to pull her up. “I want to take another
shower.”
After encountering a few unpleasant people, she didn’t want to go to bed without washing up.
However, Alexei didn’t pull her arm. Instead, he bent down, scooped her up, and easily lifted her in a carry.
“Ill help you.”
Twenty minutes later.
“Alexei!” A startled voice, mixed with something else, rang out from the bathroom.
Natasha, soaking in the bathtub, her face flushed, gritted her teeth and said, “Didn't we agree you would help?
I'm not washing anymore.”

Natasha was speechless. Alexei was getting incredibly good at feigning pity.
Leonie was wrong. Alexei was not cold. Instead, he vented
all his anger on her.
Natasha, who had originally hoped to avoid tonight, resignedly nudged him and shyly said, “Not here.”
Alexei chuckled, “Almost ready.”
In the early hours of the morning, in the cluttered room, Alexei contentedly kissed Natasha's forehead. Natasha,
in his arms, had instantly fallen asleep from
exhaustion.
He checked the tand turned off both their phones.
As they parted, Leonie even tried to trick Natasha into going to their school. tomorrow morning to watch the
young university men’s basketball game, didn’t she?
Not a chance.
He couldn’t compete with Sadie, the eldest legitimate daughter. Could he not overca mere girl?
His victory mindset led him to selectively overlook his own petty actions.
Embracing his sweet-smelling, soft wife, he also indulged in his sweet dreams.
Waking up near noon the next day, Natasha undoubtedly missed Leonie’s invitation. Retrieving her turned-off
phone, she immediately discovered Alexei’s
little scheme.
It was safe to say they now knew each other inside and out.
Feeling both annoyed and amused, she tugged at Alexei’s ear.
“Alexei, you're being so childish,” said Natasha.

She wasn’t even planning on going anyway. Those boys weren't as handsas Alexei, and their physiques
weren't as good as his, and their muscles weren't as
firm as his.
Alexei was already quite jealous, so she wasn’t about to create minor misunderstandings to provoke him with
other men.
If she provoked him too much, she would be the one to suffer.
Feeling guilty, Alexei submissively let her do as she pleased. Afterwards, he
appeasingly kissed her and asked. “Baby, | have a meeting this afternoon. Will you cto work with me?”
He then felt he had ruined her date, so he needed to make amends to avoid being frozen out for the entire week.
“Didn't Ramona send you an invitation to a yacht party before? Shall | accompany you then?”
Natasha remembered that the invitation had arrived with Edgar's and Madeline's birthday invitations.

Last tat Edgar's birthday party, she ran into Natasha and mentioned it again.
Natasha managed to deduce that Ramona’s enthusiasm was entirely due to her private investment in that
company.
However, Ramona was discerning. If the event wasn’t up to par, she wouldn't have specifically invited Natasha.
It's just an entertainment activity anyway. Ramona Hill candidly stated that if Natasha Clark was bored, there
would be no harm in coming to watch.
There were about ten days left.
She rubbed her chin and said, “That works.”
