Wife by Day Boss by Night ( (Natalie and Brian )
Chapter 98

Chapter 98 

The cruelest thing in this world isn’t failing to obtain what you desire but losing it after it’s 

finally in your grasp. 

“Little dummy.” Natalie thought she heard Brian’s voice again. She calmly opened her eyes and took a few seconds to realize she was in a hospital. 

She slightly turned her head and saw Brian sitting on the nearby couch, his gaze locked onto the documents on his laptop screen, a frown creasing his brow, dark circles under his eyes pronounced. 

She had asked Rosie the night before to get her some hemostatic, considering the hotel was full of celebrities, fans, and paparazzi. She didn’t want to make a scene and give away the nature of her relationship with Brian. 

Brian felt Natalie stir on the hospital bed and turned to look at her, meeting her gaze just in 

time. 

Natalie appeared calm and quietly shifted her gaze to the IV bag as if she didn’t care who was 

beside her. 

“Does it still hurt?” Brian asked, a slight frown on his face as he closed his laptop and spoke softly. 

“It’s none of your business,” Natalie replied quietly. 

Upon hearing her words, Brian stiffened, rose from his seat, and strolled over to the bedside, leaning in somewhat closer to her. 

Natalie turned her face away, avoiding his touch. 

He halted for a while but continued to place his palm on her forehead to check her temperature. After an overnight IV, Natalie’s temperature had stabilized. She looked much better than when she was brought in the night before. 

“Mr. Howard, the conscientious businessman,” Natalie said, looking at him with a wry smile. “Not only do you take care of the dirty work, but you also handle the aftermath.” 

Brian had to admit he had overreacted the previous night, but it was because of Kellan. 

After locking eyes for a moment, Brian withdrew his hand and asked in a low voice, “Have you considered the question Kellan asked you?” 

“I’d rather marry a vegetable,” Natalie replied almost instantly, without a second thought. 

“Natalie!” Brian’s face darkened quickly. 

“Only because that’s not the answer you wanted,” Natalie retorted with another wry smile. “But Brian, our agreement only lasts for a year. After that, you have no right to interfere in my

personal life.” 

The short time after the agreement felt like an eternity to Natalie. There were still over three hundred days left for her to coexist with this devil 

Brian knew it well 

Continuing the conversation with the current Natalie would only infuriate him further and lead him to more irrational actions. 

“Fine.” he said after a moment of silence, suppressing his anger with a nod. 

“But you better understand the one–year term has just begun!” 

Watching Brian leave in anger, Natalie couldn’t help but smirk sarcastically. It was the mutual torment they both had signed up for. 

She grabbed the cell phone from the bedside table and glanced at it, seeing a message from Gavin sent an hour ago.  sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Madelyn rose from the couch in Majestic Meadows Manor upon hearing that Sofia’s scandal was worsening. 

“How can it be? Weren’t those issues suppressed already?” 

Madelyn and Sofia were often marketed together, and Sofia’s trouble meant she was bound to get caught in the crossfire! 

There were no real friendships among female celebrities. They would fight tooth and nail over various resources. But if you were to appear friendless in this circle, it would reflect poorly on your character, hence the rule of ‘marketing friendships.‘
