Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

543 The Runway Show

Natalie followed Peter and entered his room with him. She said, "Dad, it's still early. Why don't we play chess?"

"I'm not in the mood," Peter said flatly

"Are you mad because of what they said about me?" With a worried look, Natalie asked Peter

"Why shouldn't I? Do you want to get married to that guy simply for the business interests of our family? You’re my little girl. | won't let it happen!"

Hearing that, Natalie said with a cheeky smile, "Dad, you really don't have to worry about it. Matthew is now running the company, and | am his grandaunt. He will not exchange my marriage for anything. Besides, we don't even have to do that. Our family business is doing great!"

Much to Natalie's surprise, Peter didn’t soften his face after hearing her words. Instead, he frowned, lost in thought. Well, Natalie, actually, the Carousel Group has faced many difficulties in recent years. Moreover, ever since Matthew took over the group, the board members have been giving him a hard time because they doubt that a young boy like him isn't competent enough to run such a large group at such a young age

Moreover, Matthew is indeed inexperienced in managing the Carousel Group. And Wayne has to help him frequently even though he has already announced his retirement. Alas! [just want you to live a carefree life. So, | rarely mentioned what was going on in our family business. You’re an innocent and simple girl. And 1 want you to be yourself. But, sometimes, | fear that you will get hurt because you're innocent and simple

As Peter had remained silent for a long time, Natalie realized

something was wrong. So she asked, "What's the problem, Dad? Is there something wrong with our companies?"

"No. Everything is fine, Natalie," Peter smiled and answered

"That's good. Don't worry about me, Dad. | don't want to get married at all! | just want to be at home with you. If | get married, I'll have to care for my in-laws and my husband. | don't want to do that!"

Natalie spent every day at home watching TV shows, wishing she could stay home for the rest of her life. And she had always been content with her life and considered herself the happiest person in the world. As a result, she had no desire to get married at all ee

The next day, Lemon's runway show was held at a downtown luxury hotel

Anna was nervous because Tammy was about to walk on stage. She was afraid Tammy would make a mistake and ruin the show that Andrew had worked so hard on for the past year. So, she paced back and forth backstage with a worried look
