Natalie was stunned

She twitched the corners of her mouth.

Danna breathed a sigh of relief. She held Natalie’s hand gently and patted the back of it. “I’m glad you’re fine. You guys go ahead. I’ll get out of your hair now.”

“Why don’t you stay and have lunch with us?” Natalie asked.

Josh also pretended to ask her to stay for lunch. “Mom…”

Dunna winked at him and then turned to leave.

Dianna got into her driver’s car.

She was concerned about Natalie after reading those hurtful remarks on the Internet. She came to check on her but caught them making out unexpectedly.

Dianna blushed as she thought of the scene!

She didn’t expect her son to learn to coax.

x women! And he coaxed Natalie in that way!

Her husband had never coaxed her like that!

She felt both sad and happy, hoping his son would win Natalie’s heart as soon as possible. In that case, she would be a grandma soon.

At last, she texted her son a message to encourage him.

[Josh, come on! Let me be a grandma as soon as possible!]

In the living room of Galaxy Manor, Josh pinched Natalie’s red face after his mother left. “You cried like a baby. My mom

saw it.

Natalie’s flush deepened. Her ears became even redder.

She bit her lip and whispered, “No, I didn’t.”

“Really?”

Josh bent his waist and looked into her eyes. “Your eyes are still very red. You’re 22 years old now. Who just cried as a big girl?

Natalie felt embarrassed. She turned her head away and ignored him.

Josh chuckled and pecked her on the cheek. Suddenly, his phone beeped.

He glanced down at the message.

Natalie, who was standing in front of him, saw it, too..

The atmosphere was a little awkward

Josh curled his lips into a smile and swiped the message. Then he picked her up in his arms and strode upstairs.

Natalie was startled

“W–What the hell are you doing?” she asked.

Josh smiled evilly as he noticed her nervously clenching his shirt “You’ll know it later, he replied.

After entering their bedroom upstairs, he put her down on the bed.

Josh locked eyes with her, looking wild and aggressive.

He stared at her as if she were a prey.

He seems ready to leap on her and devour her the next second.

Natalie couldn’t help but clench the sheet and recoil

Josh pulled her back by grabbing her ankles. Then he bent down to appreciate her nervous expression.

He raised his eyebrows and stared at her playfully for a long time.

After a long time, Josh suddenly stood up and walked to the bathroom

Natalie was taken aback.

She thought. What a bad man! He frightened her on purpose! He’s evil!‘

After a while, he came out of the bathroom.

He returned with a basin of water and wrung the towel dry with his hands after laying it down. “Close your eyes,” he said softly, sitting on the edge of the bed.

Natalie was stunned and then closed her eyes obediently.

Josh put a warm towel on her eyes for a long time. Then he soaked it in warm water and put it on her eyes repeated it several times.

At last, he smiled with satisfaction. “Well, your eyes are much better now.”

Natalie’s heart was pounding

She had been crying herself to sleep and swallowed all her sorrow at night even since the doping scandal. She then pretended that nothing had happened when she woke up the next day.

But things were different now that he was by her side.

“By the way, the text your mother sent you…” she said.

“Ignore her. Just let nature take its course,” Josh replied, rubbing the back of her head. “Are you tired, babe? Do you want to sleep?

Natalie shook her head and said, “I’d like to read a book.”

“It will hurt your eyes, Josh said, rubbing the back of her head. “Let me read it to you, okay?”

Natalie nodded obediently and replied, “Sure.”

Josh took The Moon and Sixpence from the bedside table and began to read.
