Chapter 66 Dirty Tricks
Shawnâs glare was so threatening that the manager felt a shiver down his spine and quickly shifted his
gaze away from Natalie.
This woman⦠is not just here to dine with Mr. Watsons. By the looks of it, she might even become Mr.
Watsonsâ future wife!
After they took their seats, Natalie drank some water and said, âActually, you didnât have to stand up for
me just now. Iâm used to being judged for my appearance.â
âHow could I not? Youâre Grandpaâs lifesaver. Thereâs no way Iâd let anyone hurt you,â said Shawn as
he stared intently at Natalieâs face.
âIâll keep that in mind. If I ever need help from the Watsons family in the future, Iâll make sure I go to you
and Grandpa,â said Natalie with a smile.
As one of the aristocratic families, the Watsons family was not as influential as the Bowers family.
However, the familyâs century-old foundation in every industry was so well established that one should
never look down on them.
Although Dream was only beginning to take shape, there was still a long way to go for Natalie to reach
her target of creating an empire. Itâs a waste if I donât take advantage of the Watsons familyâs
connections.
Shawn was stunned to hear Natalieâs reply, but the corners of his lips raised almost immediately. âMs.
Nichols, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, please do not hesitate to come to
me. Iâm more than happy to help.â
âPromise?â
âI promise.â
The duo made a little toast and exchanged a smile.
Since the restaurant was underwater, fishes and corals could be seen dancing in the clear blue water.
Not only was the ambiance amazing, but every dish was also quite delicious too.
However, Shawn barely touched his food as he was busy staring at Natalie as she ate.
Natalie was unaware of it at first, but she soon realized that Shawnâs gaze was glued onto her face.
Unconsciously, she thought that there was something wrong with her hyper-realistic mask.
âIs there something wrong with my face?â she asked.
âYouâve got something on your lips.â Having said that, Shawn leaned forward slightly and was about to
wipe the stain off of Natalieâs lips, but Natalie was quicker than him.
She leaned back and quickly wiped the corner of her lips with the back of her hand when Shawn closed
in.
âYouâ¦â
Natalie looked up at Shawn and asked, âIs it gone now?â
âYeah, itâs gone.â Shawn did not realize that Natalie intentionally avoided him. Although he felt
disappointed, he was not discouraged.
He was fond of everything about her, including her medical skills, her easygoing attitude, and her calm
and composed nature.
It was the first time in his life that he felt this way toward a woman.
Despite Natalieâs appearance, he could not hold back the urge of wanting to be with her.
Meanwhile, Belle and Natasha were hiding behind a marble column not too far away. They stared at
Shawn and Natalie who were having their meal with a look of disgust on their faces.
Natasha gritted her teeth and said, âBelle, thatâs the ugly woman I was telling you about! She was the
one who humiliated me in public.â
âWhat did you say? D-Didnât you say sheâs Rossâ new lover? Why is she with Shawn now?â asked Belle
in disbelief.
âIâm telling the truth. Sheâs the one.â
Belleâs eyes were filled with anger as she continued to glare at Shawn and Natalie. Why is Shawn
staring at her with such gentleness in his eyes? Sheâs hideous! Iâm a thousand times prettier than that
woman, but Shawn had never been interested whenever I tried to talk to him. If it werenât for the
friendship between Old Mr. Watsons and Grandpa, Iâd probably be invisible to Shawn even if I were to
stand right in front of him.
Belle could not accept the fact that she and Natalie were treated differently. âWhy? Why is that woman
sitting with Shawn?â
Although Natasha was not interested in Shawn, she was still green with jealousy when she saw the two
dining together.
âIâve fallen into her trap once. Sheâs not a simple woman. I bet she used some dirty tricks to make Mr.
Watsons hang out with her,â said Natasha.
