Chapter 682 With a wry smile, she rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen. After frantically searching for Brandon just now. she was famished. Perhaps, Brandon had only come to her the previous night to fulfil his desires and she had thought too much of it.
The sound of the kitchen knife hitting the cutting board was heard as Natalie started cooking. From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at the villa next door through the window and then saw the lights were turned on there.
She found it rather strange because that house had been unoccupied for a while, ever since she moved in. Johanna had even mentioned that most of the houses in the area didnât have buyers because it was far away from the city. Could it be...
A sudden thought popped into Natalieâs head, and she became terrified. She immediately stopped what she was doing and ran out of the kitchen to turn on all the lights in her villa.
But then, after thinking for a moment, she realized that she might have overreacted. Her parents knew that she lived there, and they would certainly not let her live in a place where it was not safe. Besides, Malus Bay was known for its security measures. There were patrolling guards who walked around once every hour, so there was nothing for her to be anxious about.
After having dinner, Natalie heard her phone ring, so she walked over to the balcony to answer the call.
â1 heard that youâre not home yet. You and Brandon slept together last night. Havenât you two made up yet?â Laney spoke in a loud voice.
âPlease keep your voice down!â Natalie spoke in a low voice, nervously covering the phone mic with one hand. She blushed deeply and the cold night wind only made her look redder.
âItâs no wonder that when T asked Garrett about you and Brandon earlier today, he sounded rather vague. If 1 didnât ask, would you have kept it a secret from me all the time? I never thought Brandon was the kind of guy who would run away after sleeping with you. I shouldnât have let you go see him last night,â Laney said with a regretful sigh.
Last night after Natalie left, she had a stomachache, but after going to the doctor this morning, they found out that she was fine. However, Garrett didnât let her touch her phone after they came back from the hospital. Laney secretly took her phone after he left to the company to deal with some work and called Natalie.
âIt was complicated. Anyway, I was careless and let myself get seduced by him last night. But 1 swear I wonât do it again, let alone forgive Brandon!â
Natalie said firmly, raising three fingers.
As soon as she finished, she heard a casual seductive voice coming from the side. âReally? Are you sure you wonât be seduced again?â
Hearing that familiar voice, Natalie turned her head stiffly. Brandon was lazily leaning against the adjacent balcony, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, which was almost empty. >
âWhy are you here?â His sudden appearance shocked Natalie so much that she forgot Laney was still on the line. âBecause Iâm your new neighbor,â
Brandon replied with a devilishly seductive smile before refilling his glass.
Natalie frowned and argued, âBut this is my familyâs property!â
With a fierce look in his eyes, Brandon stared at her. He casually sipped his wine, his gaze glued to her body as he slowly said, âWell, it belongs to me now.â
âThatâs impossible. My parents would never knowingly sell the house to you, Brandon,â Natalie said, although she wasnât sure why she felt so confident about that.
Then she said to the phone, âI have to hang up now, Laney, but weâll discuss it soon.â
After disconnecting, Natalie called Beal.
Beal was overjoyed to receive a call from Natalie. âSweetheart, are you coming home for dinner, or do you need my help with something?â
The loving and open way Beal greeted her lightened Natalieâs mood and dispelled her gloominess.
Natalie replied in a soft voice. âDad, did you sell the house in Malus Bay to Brandon?â
âBrandon paid three times the market price. Itâs all legal and above board. We transferred the money into your account. You know we couldnât manage to sell the houses in Malus Bay for a long time. Weâre actually grateful for his help,â Beal explained, gently.
Natalie checked her messages and realized she had been so busy at work earlier that she hadnât noticed the message from the bank. She had indeed received a large sum of money.
The two of them were silent for a few seconds, and then Beal asked, âAre you angry? Iâm sorry I didnât tell you before. Do you want us to return the money to Brandon and tell him to move out?â
âNo, Dad. Youâve all signed the contracts to sell, and youâd have to pay damages if he sued you. Itâs too much trouble.â Natalie hung up the phone, took a deep breath and glared at the man on the adjacent balcony. âYouâre really something else. It only took you a few days to get my dad and mom on your side.â
The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband ï¤Chatper 681 âAll parents want whatâs best for their children. Your parents just want you to be happy.â Brandon put down his wine glass. His voice was calm, but his eyes were sharp.
Natalie smiled. âFine. Just live there. Itâs not as though you can affect my life just by living near me.â J She turned around. Laughter bubbled in her chest when she felt someone behind her.
She turned her head and stared at him incredulously. The idiot had jumped across from his balcony to hers. âWhatâs wrong with you, Brandon?â she asked, taken aback. âHow dare you?â
Brandon lowered his head and nuzzled his cheek against Natalieâs throat.
Natalie stiffened. She tried to push him away, but he only held her tighter. She couldnât move at all. Brandonâs face then moved closer.
His soft lips brushed hers in a gentle kiss. Natalie took a few steps back. It was happening so fast. One moment Brandon was speaking to her from his balcony. Then he landed behind her. She raised her eyes and cursed him. âDo you know how dangerous that was? If you want to die, leave me out of it! This is my parentsâ property. A death will ruin the resell value!â
Brandon narrowed his eyes and looked at Natalieâs collarbone. He smiled helplessly and buttoned her blouse. âI can jump a lot further than that.â
Natalie was speechless. His behavior was maddening. She felt annoyed.
Brandon hadnât changed. He was as selfish as ever. He didnât care about her feelings at all. If something happened to him, Natalie couldnât even imagine how she would survive without him. *
Tears streamed down her pretty face.
Brandon was stunned. He wiped her tears and said, somehow irritably, âWhy are you crying again? Are you women all made of water? If you donât want to see me, Iâll go. You go to bed and rest, okay?â
He was about to vault over the balcony again, when Natalie grabbed his arm.
âDo you want me to stay?â Brandonâs lips curled into a lascivious grin. He moved closer to Natalie and whispered in her ear, âDonât be mad, okay?â
