Chapter 66 Dirty Tricks
Shawn’s glare was so threatening that the manager felt a shiver down his spine and quickly shifted his gaze away from Natalie.
This woman… is not just here to dine with Mr. Watsons. By the looks of it, she might even become Mr. Watsons’ future wife!
After they took their seats, Natalie drank some water and said, “Actually, you didn’t have to stand up for me just now. I’m used to being judged for my appearance.”
“How could I not? You’re Grandpa’s lifesaver. There’s no way I’d let anyone hurt you,” said Shawn as he stared intently at Natalie’s face.
“I’ll keep that in mind. If I ever need help from the Watsons family in the future, I’ll make sure I go to you and Grandpa,” said Natalie with a smile.
As one of the aristocratic families, the Watsons family was not as influential as the Bowers family. However, the family’s century-old foundation in every industry was so well established that one should never look down on them.
Although Dream was only beginning to take shape, there was still a long way to go for Natalie to reach her target of creating an empire. It’s a waste if I don’t take advantage of the Watsons family’s connections.
Shawn was stunned to hear Natalie’s reply, but the corners of his lips raised almost immediately. “Ms. Nichols, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, please do not hesitate to come to me. I’m more than happy to help.”
“Promise?”
“I promise.”
The duo made a little toast and exchanged a smile.
Since the restaurant was underwater, fishes and corals could be seen dancing in the clear blue water.
Not only was the ambiance amazing, but every dish was also quite delicious too.
However, Shawn barely touched his food as he was busy staring at Natalie as she ate.
Natalie was unaware of it at first, but she soon realized that Shawn’s gaze was glued onto her face.
Unconsciously, she thought that there was something wrong with her hyper-realistic mask.
“Is there something wrong with my face?” she asked.
“You’ve got something on your lips.” Having said that, Shawn leaned forward slightly and was about to wipe the stain off of Natalie’s lips, but Natalie was quicker than him.
She leaned back and quickly wiped the corner of her lips with the back of her hand when Shawn closed in.
“You…”
Natalie looked up at Shawn and asked, “Is it gone now?”
“Yeah, it’s gone.” Shawn did not realize that Natalie intentionally avoided him. Although he felt disappointed, he was not discouraged.
He was fond of everything about her, including her medical skills, her easygoing attitude, and her calm and composed nature.
It was the first time in his life that he felt this way toward a woman.
Despite Natalie’s appearance, he could not hold back the urge of wanting to be with her.
Meanwhile, Belle and Natasha were hiding behind a marble column not too far away. They stared at Shawn and Natalie who were having their meal with a look of disgust on their faces.
Natasha gritted her teeth and said, “Belle, that’s the ugly woman I was telling you about! She was the one who humiliated me in public.”
“What did you say? D-Didn’t you say she’s Ross’ new lover? Why is she with Shawn now?” asked Belle in disbelief.
“I’m telling the truth. She’s the one.”
Belle’s eyes were filled with anger as she continued to glare at Shawn and Natalie. Why is Shawn staring at her with such gentleness in his eyes? She’s hideous! I’m a thousand times prettier than that woman, but Shawn had never been interested whenever I tried to talk to him. If it weren’t for the friendship between Old Mr. Watsons and Grandpa, I’d probably be invisible to Shawn even if I were to stand right in front of him.
Belle could not accept the fact that she and Natalie were treated differently. “Why? Why is that woman sitting with Shawn?”
Although Natasha was not interested in Shawn, she was still green with jealousy when she saw the two dining together.
“I’ve fallen into her trap once. She’s not a simple woman. I bet she used some dirty tricks to make Mr. Watsons hang out with her,” said Natasha.
