Chapter 223
When she got up in the morning, Tobias had already left for work.
It was already very late.
Natalie realized her mouth was red and swollen when she was brushing her teeth.
How could it not be red and swollen after what Tobias did to her?
Natalie sighed silently. She knew all of this was brought on by herself.
She thought, "I asked for it..."
When she went downstairs, Selina had just finished her breakfast.
She sat on the sofa watching Spongebob Squarepants.
Natalie was tongue-tied. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
She thought that Spongebob Squarepants was a cartoon for kids. This was not the first time Selina was watching it, and she even munched on snacks every time she watched the show.
"Natalie, you're up!" Selina greeted Natalie and then she froze.
Her gaze fell onto Natalie's lips. She said in surprise, "Natalie, did both of you kiss the whole night? Why is your mouth so swollen?"
Panic flashed across Natalie's face.
"I knocked into something," she said, trying to cover it up.
"Oh." Selina didn't think much about it.
After Natalie finished her breakfast, she had nothing to do.
Selina asked Natalie to watch the cartoon with her.
Natalie had her own principles, so she did not want to watch the cartoon with Selina.
"I don't want to watch these childish things," Natalie refused Selina's offer.
Selina tried to tempt her, "Natalie, I'll give you my chips if you watch with me. It's really interesting!"
Natalie's eyelashes fluttered.
The chips in Selina's hand looked very tasty; she really wanted to try it.
She was really tempted by them.
In the end, Natalie accompanied Selina to watch Spongebob Squarepants as they ate the chips together.
Natalie was completely fascinated by the
cartoon.
Jack visited the Godfrey family.
With his power and ability, he found the Godfrey family in no time.
He had no other motive. He just wanted to know why Madison lied to him.
He came up with thousands of reasons but failed to figure out why Madison would lie to him.
Madison could not recognize the tall and handsome man in front of her for a long time. She only remembered who he was when Jack reminded her.
Madison trembled in fear.
She had never expected Jack to come to her after so many years.
Hadn't Jack already gone to Europe after believing what she said? Why did he come back?
Jack's eyes flashed with hatred when he looked at her.
If Madison hadn't deceived her, he wouldn't have lost touch with Natalie. He would never let Natalie get together with Tobias!
"Why did you lie to me?" Jack stared at Madison with his dark eyes. The usual gentleness in his eyes disappeared. "Natalie is not dead. Why did you lie to me before?"
Madison's mind was in a mess.
At that time, she knew Jack's real identity, so she concealed the truth that Natalie was still alive.
Now that Jack had found her, he could take his revenge easily.
Madison knew that she had to find a reason to prevent Jack from destroying her.
Madison was on the verge of tears.
She was someone who had a much larger figure, hence when she used her puppy eyes, it was just disgusting.
"Mr. Perry, I did not do it on purpose. After all, I am her mother. I did it for Natalie's sake. When I brought her away, she lost her memory, hence I brought her to a doctor. The doctor told me not to trigger her memories to prevent her from losing her mind. This was the reason why I decided to lie to you. Mr. Perry, I did it for the sake of my daughter. You have to forgive me."
Jack's eyes darkened.
Natalie lost her memory and his appearance would only trigger her.
However, when he met Natalie that day, she did not recognize him.
Even so, he was scared that Natalie would be triggered.
Were Natalie and Jack destined to be separated?
They missed each other ten years ago and they missed each other again ten years later.
A bitter smile appeared on Jack's lips.
Later, after Jack left, Madison breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the couch.
Fortunately, she made up a false excuse and Jack believed it.
If Jack wanted to take revenge, Madison's life would be in danger.
A moment later, Queenie pushed the door open and entered.
Queenie looked at Madison and said, "Mom, Jack just left."
There was a trace of fear on Madison's face. "Yes, I don't know how he got the news. He knows that Natalie is not dead, hence he came to me for clarification. Fortunately, I was clever enough to make up an excuse."
Queenie frowned and said, "Mom, you shouldn't have lied to Jack. Didn't Jack always like Natalie? If you told him the truth, he would take Natalie away and we can save her from the trouble here."
When Queenie mentioned Natalie, she gnashed her teeth with hatred.
She would be satisfied if Natalie was still treated badly by the Godfrey family.
However, Natalie married Tobias! Queenie could only sit back and watch her Cinderella story.
How could she be satisfied?
It was better for Jack to take Natalie away so that Queenie didn't have to see her.
Madison glared at Queenie and said, "What do you know? Jack likes Natalie so much, so if I told him the truth, Natalie would be living happily with him now. I cannot accept that!"
She hated Natalie so much.
This was because Natalie was that woman's daughter.
She hated and envied that woman so much.
That woman was a beauty, and every move she made was elegant.
Madison felt a pain in her heart when she thought about her.
Though the woman was beautiful, it was a pity that she was dumb.
For example, she still regarded Madison as her best friend.
She entrusted her daughter to Madison.
She asked Madison to raise her daughter for her.
Madison vented all her hatred for that woman on Natalie. She treated Natalie badly because she hated that woman.
Queenie curled her lips disapprovingly and said, "Mom, Natalie is married to Tobias. Isn't she living happily ever after now as well? Besides, Tobias and Jack are both reputable."
"What do you know?" Madison replied in a sarcastic tone, "Even if Natalie is married to Tobias, it's not going to end well for her. He will abandon her one day due to her background. Nevertheless, if she is with Jack, she will live a better life. Jack is addicted to her, so he will not abandon her. He will only love her wholeheartedly."
