The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Natalie believed he could protect her.His presence would make her feel safe and secure Kent was a bit miffed by the way Natalie was looking at him.How could she act so differently in just a blink of an eve? She was still thanking him in earnest just a few moments ago.

“Is there anything more important than your own safety? If you really want to spend some time with me, then let's go get a room.We can talk all night.” He grabbed her by the wrist, fully intending to drag her away with him.

“I have nothing to talk to you.! have to stay here; it's important.Don’t worry about me.” Natalie's reply was blunt and firm, and her eyes flashed with determination.

“I want to deal with the person who orchestrated this trap.l am grateful for what you did just now, Mr.Perkins.But we should part ways here.” “Are you sure you can handle it by yourself?” Kent asked, frowning.

Natalie was so small and frail; he doubted she could even go

against a woman her own size.

“It's none of your business anyway,” she retorted wryly, not appreciating his condescension.

Natalie had already made up her mind.

Even though she had clearly severed her ties with the Quinn family, Lauren and Cassie still persisted in making trouble for her again and again.She needed to settle this matter once and for all, and let them know that she was no pushover.

Kent rubbed his nose in frustration.He wasn't a meddlesome person on principle, yet he had somehow broken his own rule several times in less than an hour.

“How can you expect me to just leave you alone? We have no way of knowing what might happen if you pursue this.” Natalie narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath.

“Stop messing with me.Don’t you have the exact same intentions towards me?” Kent let out a helpless sigh.

He wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.

“You think the worst of me, don’t you? | am interested in you, yes, but | still have my standards.| would never resort to drugging people. If I truly had evil plans for you, | wouldn't have warned you in the first place.! would have just let you drink that coffee,

then intercept you once you were out cold.” Natalie blinked and considered his words.

They did make a lot of sense. She still thought that Kent was a piece of scum to a degree, but he wasn't the type to play dirty tricks on other people.

In any case, his reasoning made her calm down a little.

“Thank you for your concern, but I'll be fine.I"ve already asked my husband to come and get me. suggest you get going now.It won't be good if my husband sees you.He misunderstood what happened last time.” Kent instantly perked up at the idea that Natalie had fought with her husband.He was a very patient man.

If he couldn't get Natalie through his bold advances, then he would just wait her out from the sidelines.

Judging by today’s encounter, he was confident that she was already mellowing out towards him.He shouldn't ruin his chances by being too hasty.

“All right.” Kent stood up and buttoned his suit jacket.

He gave Natalie a friendly smile.

“Please call me if you feel like you might be in danger, Miss Quinn.I'd gladly be your bodyguard any time you are need of such

services.” Then, he took out a business card from his jacket's inner pocket and handed it to her before walking away.

Kent mentally patted himself on the back.He had made considerable progress today.

At the very least, Natalie was no longer disgusted with him.She will learn to see his good side soon enough.

He could wait.

As for Natalie, she barely glanced at the business card and just left it on the table, not caring if she lost it altogether.

Kent had asked for her contact number before, under the pretext of their business partnership, but she had dodged his request even then.

The music inside the cafe shifted to a melancholic melody, one that was best suited for a gloomy, rainy day.

Natalie decided to order the same coffee for George.

This time, it was a waitress who attended to her.

She breathed a small sigh of relief. There shouldn't be now.

The night fell. Several towering buildings dotted the streets.

Between two buildings stood a woman in a black windbreaker and

red high heels. The enormous sunglasses seemed to conceal her face Cassie tucked a strand of hair behind her ear,her cautious gaze still fixed on the cafe across the street Natalie was sitting at a table beside the French window in the cafe.

Cassie had a clear view of her from where she was standing The man had stopped Natalie just as she was about to take a sip of the coffee Who the hell is he? Cassie grew anxious. She wanted to run over there and pour the coffee down .Natalie’s throat.

Fortunately, the man left after a while. Natalie ordered another cup of coffee and seemed to wait impatiently without drinking it.

Cassie angrily stomped her foot.

She saw Natalie take out her phone and called someone, probably Berre. Before leaving the house, Cassie had secretly taken George's phone with her, fearing that he might find out her pain.

Since her calls went unanswered, Natalie sighed and stood up to leave.

However, if she left now, Cassie's plans would fail. She didn’t want to miss a great opportunity.

Cassie rushed to the cafe to stop her.

She wanted to make sure Natalie drank the coffee. The moment Natalie stood up, she saw Cassie walking into the cafe.

A knowing smile emerged on Natalie's face.

She was right about Cassie planning all this and watching her in the dark. Now that she pretended to take her bag and leave, as expected, Cassie grew anxious and showed up. What a coincidence! What are you doing here?” Natalie asked, pretending to look both surprised and confused Cassie grabbed her wrist, feigning reluctance.

“Dad asked me to meet you.He has been busy with work so be couldn't come today.He asked me to meet you on behalf of him.” She gripped Natalie's shoulders and forced her to sit down.

“He said he wanted to apologize to me in person.He said he despises you and your mom for the things you have done to me.Are you going to apologize to me on your own?” Natalie stirred the coffee as she glanced coldly at Cassie. Well, Dad has taught me a lesson.I'm a changed woman now.

“Cassie dropped her gaze to the floor, pretending to look guilty Wait.Are you really apologizing to me, Cassie Quinn?”

Natalie sneered ‘Wow, is it the end of the world? Some people were born vicious, and Natalie believed Cassie was one of them.

Natalie's piercing gaze sent a shiver down Cassie's spine.She bit her lip and sat opposite Natalie.

“Although | didn't like you, | never thought Mom would do something like that. | want to apologize on behalf of her as well.” However, Natalie remained unconcerned.She felt Cassie was a terrible actress “Okay, apologize now.” she smirked, crossing her arms over her chest.

Cassie hadn't expected things to turn out like this, Her purpose of coming here was to make Natalie suffer.

But her plan seemed to come back and bite her in the as Worse still, she had to apologize to Natalie in public This was a famous cafe.

There were a lot of customers even though it was a weekday.
