CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1716 Make You Leave

Upon hearing this, warmth filled Stanley's heart, and his cold, stern eyes relaxed considerably. “Thank you.”

Natalie chuckled. “You look much more pleasing to the eye now than before.”

“What does it mean?” Stanley frowned.

Natalie looked at him. “In the past, even though you always maintained a gentle and warm smile, something seemed off. I couldn't quite put my finger on it until later. That so-called gentleness was just a mask you wore. It wasn't the real you. The real you wasn't as wonderful. On the contrary, the real you was gloomy, unpredictable, and quite frightening. Although the real you made people uncomfortable, at least you were easier on the eyes and didn't give me that unsettling feeling.”

Stanley snorted, “Aren't you afraid I'll be upset when you say that?”

Natalie shook her head. “You won't. I know you well. Since you dare to expose your true self and choose to live with it, I know you're not a petty person. Besides, the Stanley I know may have a bad temper, but he's a good person.”

Stanley fell silent for a while before speaking again, “I'm sorry, I might not be as good as you think. I'm not a good person. It's true that I saved you, but I also hurt you at the same time.”

Natalie lowered her eyes. “I know that you were the one who kidnapped Connor, and you caused Connor's car accident.”

There was not much change in Stanley's facial expression.

Now, he also understood that she might find out about this matter.

After all, Jacqueline was dead. Before her death, she would have definitely revealed these things to disgust Natalie.

“I want to know why you did that.” Natalie clenched her fists, her eyes reddening as she looked at the person in front of her.

In fact, she did it on purpose.

She deliberately called him a good person and treated him as a friend to evoke that touch of tenderness within his heart.

As long as her words moved his heart, it was quite simple for her to get answers.

However, when she decided to awaken the tender side of his heart, she could not help but feel apprehensive, as she did not know if she could succeed.

After all, she did not really know the current Stanley as well as she thought.

Fortunately, the softness in his heart still remained despite being a changed man, and she had succeeded.

Stanley looked at the somewhat emotional woman, pursed his thin lips, and remained silent.

With her heart filled with urgency, Natalie leaned forward slightly. “Stanley, can you please tell me why? For the sake of our friendship and for the fact that you are the godfather of two children, can you please tell me the answer? You have no idea how heartbroken Connor was when he found out you were behind everything. Before he discovered Shane was his father, he truly saw you as his dad, Stanley.”

Her voice was somewhat choked up.

Stanley looked at her, almost in tears. His thin lips moved slightly, and he finally sighed. “All right, I'll tell you.”
