Teri’s lips curved into a sarcastic smile, saying, “Because Natasha is not Unity, and Alexei is not Dereck.”
Moreover, no one knew. Did she truly win?
Twenty years of sharing the same bed. Was it unwavering love or different minds? Only those involved know.
She looked at Chloe, her still stubbornly misguided niece, found it an eyesore, and averted her gaze.
“I’ll only advise you this one time. You are on your own,” said Teri.
Turning her back on Chloe, who was stunned, and the gloomy Westwood family vi, she left her own home.
Teri thought, ‘So this is what it feels like to be familyless and alone. Back then, when Unity lost her parents and husband, was she also this angry and resentful?
‘Unfortunately, no matter what, I have twenty more years than she did. I have no
regrets.‘

“Is everyone having birthdays all at oncetely?” asked Natasha.
Natasha sat on the carpet, looking at the several invitations before her.
Besides Edgar’s uing birthday party, some who wanted to ingratiate themselves with Alexei but couldn’t find a way in, surprisingly took a different approach and sent invitations to Natasha.
Alexei was discreet, but he was anything but discreet when it came to Natasha.
Now, everyone outside knew Natasha was Alexei’s Achilles‘ heel.
“If you don’t want to go, don’t worry about them.” Alexei brought two cups of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice from the kitchen.

Mimicking Natasha, he settledfortably on the carpet and pulled her into his
embrace.
The floor was covered with a mix of books, picture books, Lego, Ludo, and dolls… A varied collection. Alexei had a rare day off, and the two were cozied up at home, ying all sorts of childish games, as if reliving their childhood.
Natasha held an invitation from Ramona for an entertainment yacht party, and her eyes were fixed on it. She gasped, her mouth wide open, “Ah…”
Alexei instinctively brought grapefruit juice to her lips.
Natasha took a couple of gulps. “It depends on your avability. If you think it’s worthwhile, go. If you don’t like it, I don’t want to go either.”
‘Well, I can go to events like Ramona’s by myself,‘ thought Natasha.
Alexei smiled and kissed her soft cheek, then picked up an invitation she had discarded nearby.
Surprisingly, it was from the rk family. It was for Madeline’s birthday party.
‘Well, they won’t give up,‘ thought Alexei.
Natasha also saw the invitation in his hand. Leaning against his chest, she poked the invitation with her finger. “There’s no need to drag things out with people you’ve cut ties with, but we can still send a gift.”
A hint of mischief gleamed in her eyes.
‘I heard Olivia has been humbling herself recently, managing to appease the previously resentful rk family members with their strained rtions. She even used the excuse that she could no longer dance, had lost her shares, and needed to find a job to support herself to sneak into the rk family’spany.
‘Aren’t human rtionships meant to ebb and flow?
‘I, her good sister, shouldn’t be able to live so easily.
‘And the rk family, how can they celebrate Madeline’s birthday so free of
worries?

‘Some mysteries can also be revealed.’
Alexei nodded and disdainfully tossed the invitation aside again.
“Daron!” he called out.
Daron skillfully came over to deal with the trash.

Upon seeing Alexei boss the dog around again, Natasha shot him a re, hugged Daron’s big head, and kissed it. “Daron, you’re such a good boy. I’ll reward you with a big bone tonight.”
She nced at Alexei and said, “Have your bad owner stew it.”
Alexei had no objection to stewing the bone, but he had a big problem with her kissing the dog again.
He hugged her from behind, burying his head in her shoulder andining, “Honey, may we make a deal? Can you stop kissing it from now on?”
Thanks to Natasha, he and Daron kissed each other indirectly countless times.
And, how could his wife’s kiss be given to any other creature, not even a dog?
Natasha smiled, pinching his muscr arm wrapped around her waist. “Alexei, why are you so jealous?”
Alexei kissed her soft, fragrant red lips, coaxing, “You can be jealous, too. I like it when you’re jealous of me.”
He was overjoyed when his wife told him he was hers alone.
Natasha, who saw right through him, scoffed yfully, “I won’t reward you.”
Alexei chuckled, “Then, I’ll reward myself.”
Heid her t on the carpet and pressed himself onto her.
Natasha dodged,ughing incessantly as his ticklish kisses teased her.
She bit his lip gently. “No,” she said. “We haven’t finished building our Legos yet.”
Alexei didn’t care about Lego. “Stop ying with it. y with me.”
“No, you’re not fun.”
‘He’s stiff and tiring, thought Natasha.

Alexei, who was usually so aloof outside, seriously argued, “I’m fun. You can y with me however you want.”
Upon seeing a hint of interest in her eyes, Alexei chuckled softly into her ear, “This time, I promise to control myself and not resist.”
Natasha’s eyes were suspicious.
She had been tricked more than once.
To show his sincerity, Alexei released her, rolled over, andy spread–eagled on the carpet, lookingpletely harmless and inviting.
Natasha thought, ‘If you keep doing that, I won’t be able to resist.‘

Swindler!
Natasha got out of bed at noon the next day, realizing a wonderful weekend shouldn’t be entirely wasted in bed.
Natasha and Alexei, the young couple, held hands and decided to go shopping.
For Alexei, who had a packed schedule, it was truly a novelty.
His clothes were mostly custom–made. For some brands, the representatives would deliver them directly to his door.
On the contrary, after being with Natasha, he asionally didn’t have servants prepare food and would go grocery shopping himself, frequenting ces like supermarkets more often.
In Alexei’s view of the past, the act of shopping was no different from wasting time.

However, when with someone he loved, even idle time didn’t feel boring.
Natasha found a new interest in the mall, treating Alexei as a real–life doll and having a st ying dress–up.
As expected, a boyfriend still needed to be handsome.
A handsome man looked good at anything. She couldn’t go wrong even if he wore a sack.
Looking at Natasha and himself in the mirror wearing casual couple’s outfits, Alexei smiled slightly, “Buy them.”
Natasha hesitated, ncing at the shopping bags piled on the store’s sofa.
“It’s fine. I’ll let them deliver them back,” Alexei said.
Theirtest purchase delighted the store manager, who grinned from ear to ear.
Upon sensing Alexei’s intentions, the manager was about to rmend another set of matching outfits for Natasha and Alexei when another pair of good–looking young people walked in.
“Natasha?” Lucas looked at Natasha in surprise.
His heart ached when he saw what they were wearing.
His blind date looked at him confusedly as he stopped, then nced at the exceptionally well–matched couple in the store. Her eyes lit up, saying, “Should we try some on, too?”
Upon seeing Lucas’s gaze at Natasha, she then asked confusedly, “You know her? Who is this?”
Lucas instantly sobered up.
He nced at Natasha and Alexei, silently staring at him. He pursed his lips, and his jaw tightened. “Ady I used to know.”
“Huh? You…”
The girl wanted to say that his intense stare didn’t seem like it was for ady.

Then, another surprised voice suddenly interjected, “Lucas!”
Lucas froze when he heard the familiar voice, as if from another lifetime.
Natasha and Alexei exchanged nces.
‘Oh, what amotion… they thought.
