Chapter 252 The edge
Julian kept looking at Natalie’s side face with deep gaze, thinking something.
How could he feel a sense of frustration when he found her out of his control?
How could?
What kind of feeling was this? He really didn’t know how to describe it, and a deep sense
of frustration lingered in his heart for a long time.
Julian’s mood was mixed for a while.
How could Natalie not notice the gaze of Julian next to her?
However, she still kept calm, pretending not to see it, and she casually placed her hands.
on the railing, drinking in the night breeze.
She really didn’t want to talk to Julian.
She could only pretend not to see him, hoping that Julian would be more sensible and
could take the initiative to leave here.
After all, this was the only place where she could breathe.
However, Julian clearly did not fulfill her intention. A man like him would never do that.
Julian stared at her side face for a long time.
Natalie was cold, like a goddess that couldn’t be touched, making her difficult for people.
to approach.
But today, due to drinking a few glasses of wine, she was a bit dizzy, with blushing
cheeks, and moist and rosy lips.
Julian was slightly tense.
Today’s Natalie gave him a different feeling.
Natalie sipped again. Unconsciously, the wine in the glass was about to run out.
Julian spoke in a low voice, “How much wine did you drink?”
The woman had a strong alcohol smell all over her body. Although the aroma was not unpleasant and carried a intoxicating aura, Julian still frowned.
After all, drinking harmed one’s health.
“How much?” Natalie raised her eyelids and spoke casually, “I don’t remember.”
“How many glasses exactly?” The man’s tone increased, with a hint of oppression.
Natalie frowned and turned her head to look at Julian. “Why do you ask me this? Is this
important?”
Was this important?
That was the same sentence again.
Julian was even angrier, “Why isn’t it important? Drinking harms one’s health.”
“Drinking harms one’s health?” Natalie slowly repeated this sentence, seeming to find it
funny. She chuckled lightly and said, “Anyway, it’s my health, and it’s nothing to do with
you.”
Julian with anger, called out her name with a hint of warning, “Natalie.”
Natalie raised her eyebrows.
She turned her head and gave Julian a serious look.
There was a hint of concern in the man’s eyes, as if he was really worried about her
body.
This worry was exactly the same as Henry’s.
Even the frowning was a bit similar.
Natalie rubbed her eyes with a hint of confusion and spoke in a daze, “What are your
calling me for?”
She seemed a bit drunk.
The man in front of her seemed to be Henry.
Natalie rubbed her eyes and then looked up again. The figure of the man in front of her
overlapped and was indistinct.
It was really like Henry. Natalie traced the man in front of her from top to bottom, from
eyes to nose.
This was Henry. Why was he the same?
Henry’s figure flashed by one after another, in the laboratory and classroom, under the
peach blossom tree, in the amusement park and under the starry sky, until it overlapped with the man in front of her.
Damn it. She really seemed to be drunk.
Natalie stared at the man in a daze, and couldn’t hold the glass due to lack of
concentration.
The next second, Julian noticed it and quickly caught the glass.
“Natalie?” “Henry’ frowned in front of her, looking at her with some confusion.
There was something wrong with his voice.
Natalie was a bit sober now.
A gust of night breeze blew, carrying cold air, brushing her blushing cheeks, and she regained consciousness.
The figure she hoped for also disappeared.
“What did you just say?” Natalie said in a casual tone.
She really hoped that it was Henry just now, not Julian.
Julian held up the red wine glass and shook it in front of her, “Are you distracted?”
Natalie forced out a smile and said, “Ah… The wind made me dizzy.”
Julian stared at her, clearly dissatisfied with the answer.
She was lying.
She just lost her mind by staring at his face.
But Julian pressed down on his doubts and didn’t say anything.
He spoke slowly and said, “You haven’t answered my question yet. How many glasses of wine did you drink? How could you end up drinking like this?”
Natalie wanted to lift her hand and snatch the wine glass from the man’s hand.
But Julian was tall, and as long as he gently raise his hands, he can easily lift the glass
to a height that Natalie couldn’t reach.
“Answer me.”
Natalie looked at the height of the glass and silently withdrew her hand.
“How many glasses?” Natalie reached out her fingers and carefully recalled.
But she seemed a bit drunk and her memory was not very clear.
“One… Two… Three…” Natalie spread out her fingers and counted one by one, “I can’t
remember clearly.”
Julian frowned and looked at Natalie.
“I said. Can you give it back to me?” Natalie was dissatisfied and raised her hand to get
the wine glass.
He still didn’t give it to her.
The height of the glass was even higher than before.
“What are you doing? Why are you robbing my wine?”
“If
you want to drink, there’s plenty over there. You can go and get it yourself,” Natalie
pointed to the waiter inside.
“Oh
yes, this wine… What did that person tell me its name was? Dom Romane Conti?” Natalie squinted her eyes and thought carefully.
“What?”
A word blurted out from her mouth, but Julian couldn’t hear it clearly.
Natalie raised the tone and repeated carefully, “This wine is called Dom Romane Conti.”
Halfway through, she paused and waved her hand, “Forget it. You don’t understand
either.”
Julian’s face turned pale. Why couldn’t he understand? Was Natalie questioning him?
How could he not understand the name of the wine?
Natalie raised her hand again, squinted her eyes, looked inside and finally found the. figure of Carl.
“Go ask him what this wine is. He told me before. Let him take you and ask the waiter
for a glass.”
Julian looked in the direction pointed by Natalie, and the figure of a man caught his eye.
He stared at the man, and his eyes gradually turning cold.
Great.
Another man he didn’t know.
How could Natalie know these men?
“Who is he?” Julian’s voice was filled with dissatisfaction.
He suddenly remembered the last time in Greenlife villa when he found there was
another man, and his face couldn’t help but turn a bit dark.
Natalie just said a few words and watched as Julian, who was standing in front of her, turned angry, emitting a cold air.
She didn’t provoke him either.
“Just a stranger.”
Julian stared at Natalie, “A stranger? Are you sure?”
“Of course.” Natalie was a bit impatient.
He was just a stranger. Why did she lie to him? Was there something wrong with Julian?
Julian did not let go of any slight change on her face. As he found Natalie was calm and answered without any hesitation, he finally relaxed.
“What about the man in the villa?”
Julian never thought that it would happen to him before.
He had been holding it for many days.
But he couldn’t hold it back anymore.
“Hmm?” Natalie couldn’t understand.
“What?”
