The Ties of Fortune

After seeing the entire contents of the refrigerator, Natalie's thoughts began to drift. What food does a CEO like Anthony like?

If the food is not good, will he get angry?

Well whatever, after all he is not a professional chef.

He took the cooking apron and put it on. She then tied her hair into a ponytail, and started washing the ingredients.

He chose to cook the black pepper beef after seeing the very fresh and good peppers. Now that the beef has been cut, it's time to wash the peppers before cutting.

Because the size is quite large, Natalie suddenly dropped one while washing it. Before the pepper fell to the floor, a pair of hands caught it.

When he looked back, there was already a tall figure of a man behind him.

"Why did you come home so soon?"

Natalie was quite surprised. In his mind, a CEO like Anthony would obviously come home late at night or even stay at his company. He didn't expect him to come home so soon! Couldn't he have been home a long time ago?

"This is my house, do I need permission to come back here?"

That tone still sounded cold and oppressive, not to mention matched with his deep gaze.

Honestly, he couldn't say he was home early because he couldn't wait to taste the food Natalie made.

He was still curious as to what this woman's cooking skills were like.

"Hahaha, of course not!" Natalie then continued to cook.

While Anthony stayed behind him the whole time.

Really stressful!

The feeling of being stared at by Anthony Stevano is very stressful. From time to time, Natalie accidentally dropped her spatula or picked up the wrong seasoning.

Luckily, Anthony's cell phone vibrated and he went to pick up the call.

With this he can cook with ease!

After finishing cooking, he brought the plate of black pepper beef to the dining table. While washing his hands, he said with a smile. "Master Anthony, the food is ready!"

When he turned around, the pair of hands grabbed him and forced him to lean against the wall. The hand then lifted his chin. "It looks like this food is delicious."

Anthony then 'devoured' Natalie's lips ferociously.

"Let's eat quickly before the food gets cold!" Natalie's face was completely red as their lips parted.

Anthony laughed a little when he saw Natalie's cute behavior, his fingers also caressed her supple cheeks.

"Are you afraid of me?" His finger stopped on her lips.

Natalie quickly shook her head. "No, I'm not afraid!"

However, what happened next did not match Natalie's imagination.

After pressing his lips gently, Anthony suddenly released himself and walked towards the dining table. It seemed the smell of the food had caught Anthony's attention.

After taking the rice, Anthony began to devour his food.

Natalie stood beside him tensely, watching him chew in terror.

"Do you want me to deal with it?"

Anthony suddenly spoke, his words making Natalie look at him in confusion. "It means? I don't understand what you're saying."

"You cried so much that time, tell me who made you like that?" His voice was low, but his eyes were filled with danger.

"…."

Natalie thought about it for a long time, but she didn't dare say it.

Even though he approves of their relationship lasting 100 days, getting him involved in his revenge journey doesn't sound right. And just as he had thought, the end result of this trip was not good, he didn't want other people to be dragged along with him.

After a while, she looked at Anthony and gave him a cheerful smile.

"Thank you for your concern Mr. Anthony, but I can solve my own problems without the help of others."

Anthony could only be astonished in his heart, he was likened to other people!

Her lips pursed tightly, but her eyes were filled with admiration. This woman is different from the others.

After he finished eating, he stood up. His eyes fell on the necklace Natalie was wearing. He reached out his hand and held it. His voice is deep and melancholic. "This necklace is so good… who gave it to you?"

This question had been in his heart for a long time, but it was only today that he finally asked it. That restlessness kept swimming in his heart, making him restless all the time.

For four years, he never gave up a single day.

Natalie was a little confused by Anthony's question, she finally answered after a moment's hesitation. "This is a relic from my mother."

"Mother?" Anthony's gaze deepened. It seemed like he was asking her a sensitive topic.

"Yes!" Natalie gave him a genuine smile.

"Then take good care of it." He then took her hand back and walked towards his study.

The next day.

Natalie was washing her face when David and some bodyguards suddenly came into the room and took all the women's clothes in the wardrobe.

Natalie wiped her face with a towel and came out of the bathroom. When he came out, he could see the guards stuffing the clothes into a black plastic bag and throwing them out of the room.

"Er… David!" Call Natalie gently.

David turned and walked over to Natalie with a smile. "Good morning Miss Natalie."

"Why do I feel like those clothes are about to be thrown away?"

"Because…" David seemed hesitant to explain.

"Since the owner of the shirt is gone, there's no reason to keep it." A cold voice came from behind.

Natalie turned and saw Anthony walking out of his study. He raised his hand and looked at his watch.

"We're leaving in 10 minutes."

"Ready young master." David turned and said to Natalie. "Miss, feel free to call me if you need anything."

"Thank You!"

When Anthony finished changing and walked towards the exit, Natalie chased after him. "Wait!"

The tall figure stopped, his sharp eyes staring at him.

Smiling, Natalie walked in front of him, untied his tie and put it back deftly.

Anthony's eyebrows rose slightly. "How is it different from the previous one?"

Natalie lifted her head and smiled. "Indeed, the result is the same, but the method of tying it is different. This way of tying me is said to bring good luck."

"Are you used to tying a tie?" Anthony's tone sounded a little confused.

"Hmm... I used to tie my father's tie a lot!" Natalie's smile was a little forced.

"Nothing else, it's just my way of saying have a good day!" He took her hand back and smiled cheerfully at her.

"Your father seems like a lucky man."

Natalie was quite surprised, she didn't expect Anthony to say something like that.

Natalie bowed her head and said in a small voice. "If only he hadn't died four years ago…" The

voice was very low, it had an air of sadness and longing.

At this moment, Anthony noticed a tear struggling to escape from the corner of his eye as well as his slightly trembling hand.

He took a deep breath and stretched out his hand. Her slender finger gently wiped the corner of her eye then caressed her cheek gently.

"I told you that time, a princess like you is not fit to cry. If you really love your parents, don't cry over their departure."

Natalie hugged Anthony's hand with both hands. "Hmm!"

"Alright, now smile as usual!"

"Hahaha, then be careful on the road. Hope you have a good day!"

Apart from having a contract with Anthony, Natalie does have some feelings for him.

Anthony smiled a little and replied. "I hope you do too!"

"Young master, we could be late!"

David quickly whispered in his ear, Anthony also immediately turned around and walked back.

When he got on the elevator, Anthony suddenly said. "Whatever he asks, you must fulfill it!"

"Young master, you better not get too close to him." David respectfully gave his advice.

Anthony touched his tie and glared at him. "Whose fault do you think this is? If you keep anything from me again, I'll fire you."
