Chapter 338

"Hello! Jennifer, Easton is with me. Hurry and come get him," Natalie said. "Hello..."

There was no response. Confused, Natalie looked at the phone, noticing it had run out of battery and was shutting down.

"Ugh..." She stomped her foot in frustration. Of all times, the battery had to die now.

"Seriously? Dead battery now?" she muttered angrily, tossing the phone aside,

wave of sleepiness swept over her, and she yawned. Kicking off her slippers, she stepped onto the plush carpet, climbed to bed, and pulled the blanket over herself, falling asleep almost instantly. She tried reminding herself that Easton was still here and that she couldn't sleep, but her heavy eyelids wouldn't cooperate. Before slipping into unconsciousness, she vaguely felt someone holding her. Easton watched her drift into a deep sleep, a sly smirk playing on his lips. He had slipped something into her glass of milk, and she drank it without the slightest suspicion.

He had done the same last time; otherwise, Natalie would never have let him share the bed with her.

She'd been away for half a month, and during that time, he hadn't slept well once. Tonight, he was determined to get a good night's rest.

He realized that Natalie was like a sleeping potion for him. With her beside him, he could sleep soundly.

Recalling what she had just said, he looked grim and thought, 'She really doesn't love me anymore. She even tried to push me toward Jennifer and sounded happy when Jennifer called.*

Ignoring the dead phone, Easton gently pulled Natalie into his arms. Gazing at her peaceful, stunning face, he smiled softly and whispered, "Natalie, with your little schemes, how do you expect to outsmart me? "Do whatever you want and chase your dreams boldly-I'll be here to support you. My only condition is that you stay by my side

He glanced around the room and thought, 'Did she grow up here? Everything in it seems frozen in time from years ago. why did Jason bring her back from the impoverished town all those years ago?

'She'd rather let the Simpson family misunderstand her than reveal her true identity. But it makes sense. In this way, she could see their true colors clearly.

Easton turned off the light. Outside, the snowstorm raged. On this snowy night, they lay quietly in the warm bed, and the sound of their heartbeats was like the most beautiful melody in the world.
