Harley Turner couldn’t help butugh out loud.


    Outside, the heavy rain poured down, and the sky was gloomy.

    Inside, however, the tense situation took a turn, and the atmosphere shifted because the two main individuals refused to engage.


    Edgar watched Avery, who was left speechless by the two youngsters, and forcefully struck his cane on the ground.


    He said, “Stay for tonight. Tomorrow, after you pay respects to your mother, get out.”


    After speaking, he looked grimly at Minerva. “She is not allowed to go.”


    Seeing that the two were staying for the night, Cora Turner, who was usually the most kind and considerate, stood up with a faint smile.


    She said, “I don’t feel well, so I’ll go rest first. Don’t call me for dinner.


    Natasha’s gaze


    followed Cora as she left.


    She thought, ‘It seems Cora doesn’t really like Avery and Minerva.


    ‘Is it because she dislikes them so much that she can’t even bother to pretend, or is it due to certain circumstances that she has to show such an attitude?


    This is interesting.


    ‘Everyone in the Turner family has a little secret.


    Edgar looked displeased, red at Avery and Minerva again, then turned and went upstairs


    to rest.


    The remaining people in the living room became lively. Cheryl Turner and Sasha even took the initiative to talk to Natasha.


    However,st time at the auction, because of Cade Turner, they treated Natasha and Alexei as if they were enemies.


    It was clear that when interests were involved, everyone could be flexible.


    The entire time, no one paid attention to Avery and Minerva, as if they didn’t exist.


    The two sat alone in the corner, looking tense as they whispered, asionally seeming to


    argue.


    Minerva looked exhausted and ultimately seemed to be convinced.


    The two then resumed their quiet conversation.

    Natasha could sense Minerva’s distraction, as she noticed Minerva asionally casting exploratory nces her way.


    It was without any malice, seeming like pure curiosity.


    Natasha had no desire to participate in the Turner family’s well–practiced act of ostracism.


    In fact, she found this collective ostracism somewhat repulsive, as it reminded her that Alexei might have grown up in such an atmosphere.


    She thought, ‘Alexei is now admired and ttered, but what kind of emotional abuse has he experiened in the past?‘


    However, she wouldn’t help Avery and Minerva simply because she disliked others.


    After all, they were gone for years, and the first thing they did after they came back was to undermine Alexei.


    Natasha was quite vengeful.


    Instead of dwelling on this, she would care more for the less fortunate Alexei.


    Thinking of this, she red fiercely at Dereck and Teri, who were chatting with Vivian.


    She thought, ‘It’s all the fault of this ipetent father and wicked stepmother.


    Why did Unity die in the back, but not them?‘


    The more she thought, the angrier she became. She wondered if she should find an excuse to act out and beat them up.


    Anyway, it was not the first time she’d been impolite and disrespectful to others.


    As if sensing her agitation, Alexei picked up the listless Natasha.


    She looked at him in confusion.


    Alexei patted her head, “Don’t you dislike it here? I’ll take you to the Peace Garden to change


    and rest.”


    She replied, “But I didn’t bring a change of clothes.”

    It was raining so heavily that it was hard for cars to get around. Natasha felt that it wouldn’t be right to make someone deliver it in the rain.


    She disliked the Turner family and didn’t want to wear their clothes.


    Even new ones wouldn’t do.


    “Never mind, my clothes aren’t wet. There’s no need to change,” she said, shaking her head.


    Alexei chuckled lightly. “Don’t worry, they’re not someone else’s.”


    Facing her questioning gaze, Alexei reached out and gently pinched her soft earlobe, then calmly said, “Just in case, I’ve stocked every one of my residences with new clothes for you.”


    A wide smile instantly bloomed on Natasha’s face, and she nted a loud kiss on his cheek.


    Ever since she kissed him that day after drinking and dancing, she had be increasingly familiar with this form of reward.


    Alexei curved his lips, softening the coldness he had shown since entering the Turner


    Mansion.


    Watching the sweet couple leave hand–in–hand, Teri pursed her lips. “How rude,” she


    muttered.


    She thought, ‘Alexei didn’t even bother to greet his father or me after entering.


    ‘Now, he leaves as if we don’t exist.’


    “Enough. Don’t you know your rtionship with him?” Dereck retorted, annoyed.


    Teri’s face flushed with anger. “Whose fault is it that my rtionship with him is bad?”


    She thought, ‘If he hadn’t insisted on marrying Unity back then, we could have married happily from the start,


    “If Alexei weren’t born, would I have to target him at every turn and be a stereotypical stepmother?


    ‘Dereck isrgely to me for Alexei and my miserable lives.


    Teri stormed off.


    Dereck’s nostrils red. He clenched his fingertips, stunned for a moment, and then pushed himself away.

    Cheryl smiled faintly, pressing her lips together. “Alexei and Miss rk are very loving.


    “Alexei takes her everywhere he goes. I think everyone guessed wrong before. It seems their marriage is about to take ce soon.”


    Everyone smiled and echoed a few words, but it was unclear what they were really thinking.


    At the end of the long table next to the sofa, someone bowed their head and poured a cup of


    coffee.


    She thought, ‘Are they really in love?


    I really hope that Alexei is sincere with Natasha. That way, everything will be much more fun.‘


    *****


    Peace Garden lived up to its name. It was very quiet, which in fact meant it was remote.


    Alexei used to live here with his mother and never thought of moving out after gaining


    power.


    Upon arriving here, Natasha felt the air was much better than in the main building’s crowded living room, where the Turner family gathered.


    Unfortunately, it was raining, making it inconvenient to look around.


    Alexei directly took her back to his room.


    Natasha had never actually been to his residence.


    From initially living in her cramped apartment toter moving into therge vi Alexei gifted them, they have lived together ever since.


    Therefore, Alexei rarely visited his old residence.


    The first impression Natasha had of this ce was cold.


    The entire house’s cool color schemecked any vibrancy.


    Everything was meticulously arranged, with no superfluous decorations.


    Their home was filled with snacks, dolls, and throw pillows, as well as fresh flowers Natasha regrly ordered, and toys Daron mischievously left in corners,


    The room had thick curtains. Alexei did not open them and simply turned on the lights.

    He said, “Dinner is still some time away. Go take a shower and change your clothes first.”


    Rainwater had gotten on her carlier, so he felt that she must be ufortable.


    Inside the spacious walk–in closet was a long row of women’s apparel from various brands, standing tightly beside suits primarily in ck, white, and gray.


    Those diverse styles of women’s apparel became the most striking colors in the room.


    They seemed to stand out, yet were harmonious.


    If Natasha didn’t know, she’d think this room originally had two upants.


    Natasha was toozy to move, so she sent Alexei to the walk–in closet to find clothes for her. Anyway, they would all fit her.


    “It’s cool on a rainy day. Are you fine with wearing long pants?” he asked her.


    “Yes,” she replied perfunctorily.


    “What color do you want?”


    “It’s fine as long as it matches you.” Her hand was already touching the medals on the bookshelf.


    Alexei looked down at himself, dressed in ck and white, able to match any color. That meant she let him choose freely.


    After seeing Natasha, who had regained her energy and was happily wandering around the room, he sighed and went to pick out clothes.


    Natasha nced at Alexei’s medals and books, then touched the pen holder on the table, and the throw pillows on the sofa.


    Finally, standing by the bedside, she was drawn to an old photo on the nightstand.


    She quietly looked at the person in the photo.


    Afortable set of light–colored short–sleeved shirt and pants wasid out at the foot of the


    bed.


    After cing the clothes, Alexei followed her gaze, then paused. He approached her, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind and resting his chin on her shoulder.


    He said, “This is the only photo of her and me together.”
