Ramona approached them. Although she had a small share, she attended as a guest today.
She had nned to invite Natasha to hang out, but Natasha was already here.
Compared to having fun, doing a favor for Alexei wasn’t a bad idea. She truly was a little genius.
As the inviting party, she cheerfully greeted Natasha and Alexei and chatted briefly, then tactfully and quickly left to find other entertainment.
On one hand, she tactfully gave them private space. On the other hand, she still remembered Natasha’s sharp tongue and, as a single person, she didn’t want to repeat that experience.
The formal party was in the evening, but the eventsted two days and one night. During the daytime today and tomorrow, everyone could freely enjoy themselves. on the yacht.
Since Roderick’s incident, Natasha hadn’t felt rxed enough to look at the sea for a long time.
Standing by the railing, feeling the wind, and watching the seabirds fly by, she contentedly curved her lips.
Alexei smiled as he looked at her. “Our family has a yacht, too. If you like, I’ll take you out to sea every year from now on<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Natasha’s eyes curved into crescents as she hugged his waist. “Can you drive it?”
Alexei raised an eyebrow. “Of course.”
Natasha praised him again, swaying back and forth while hugging him. “Alexei, how can you do everything?”
For once, he found himself grateful for his past self.
“Natasha,” he called out to her.
Natasha looked up. “Hmm?”
Smiling, he leaned in and kissed her red lips.
“You think I’m amazing, shouldn’t I be rewarded?”
Natasha reached out and poked his cheek, saying, “So shameless.”
Alexei just smiled and said nothing, holding her hand and kissing it.

Looking at the sweet man and woman over there, Lucas, who was about to step outside for some fresh air, stopped in his tracks.
He didn’t even remember having such intimate and dependent interactions with Natasha.
Endless quarrels, confrontations, and exhaustion seemed to be the norm.
He finally knew what she cared about and what she wanted, but he no longer had. the right.
If that person wasn’t Alexei…
He clenched his fist.
“Lucas!” A surprised voice came from behind.
Lucas frowned, not smiling.
He didn’t expect to run into Olivia there.
Watching her approach, he said nothing.
“What a coincidence,” she said with a smile. “I came with Thomas. Shall we sit together?”
Lucas frowned. “Thomas is here, too?”
Olivia nodded. “He’s looking to attract some investment.”

Following Lucas’s gaze and seeing who he was looking at, a series ofplex emotions like wariness, resentment, and jealousy shed in her eyes, but she quicklyposed herself and said, “Natasha is here, too. She and Mr. Turner seem to have a good rtionship.
“However, during my hospital stay, not only did she not visit me, but she also never went to visit Mom. Mom is sad.”
“Stop pretending.” Lucas said coldly.
Olivia froze. <fne757> Content originallyes from findnovel</fne757>
Lucas stared into her eyes. “Look at you, is this appropriate? Your mother and the rk family treated Natasha this way. Do you still expect her to have a loving rtionship with you?”
The setbacks during this period truly made him realize how outrageously wrong he had been.
Olivia and her mother were no different from Wyatt, perhaps even more shameless.
If he were in their shoes, he would also wish they were dead.
Olivia had never imagined Lucas would speak to her like that. Even when she ruined his blind date with Estherst time, and he said he would no longer bother with her, his words weren’t so harsh.
Lucas pushed her away. “Excuse me, move aside.”
He pursed his lips, looking at the youngdy in the lounge area who wasmenting on the dessert chefs on the yacht..
His mother was right. He couldn’t continue to be so dejected. Even if it meant resorting to unscrupulous means and abandoning his dignity, he had to get back.

Olivia froze, watching him effortlessly join the conversation with the rich scions, not backing down even when ridiculed.
Thomas came up behind her at some point, saying, “You’re disgracing yourself.”
The model siblings, once outwardly amicable and respectful, now only exchange. harsh words.
Olivia gave him a cold sidelong nce.
Her n would seed within two days and one night.
However, Thomas and the rk family were at a dead end. It was uncertain who would be crying first.
She pushed past him and strode away.
Thomas frowned, stopped, and looked at Natasha and Alexei, who were still huddled together, whispering.
A wave of frustration surged within him <b>as </b>he recalled his repeated failed attempts to engage people in conversation about the rk Group’s patents.
If he hadn’t broken ties with Natasha, given her current standing with Alexei, the Turner family’s crisis could have been easily resolved. They could even have improved their position at any time.
Unfortunately, life offers no do–overs.
After Thomas, with his dejected silhouette, left, another familiar figure appeared in the same spot.

Her mother visited her family and gave her this invitation after returning, telling her it was herst chance.
After the birthday party, she had also used the excuse of visiting Teri, her aunt, to go to the Turner family residence several times, but she never encountered Alexei.
It was her first time seeing him again after many days, but by his side, eternally, unchanged, was still that same person.
Chloe didn’t know how to describe her feelings. She sometimes felt it would be better if Alexei were a promiscuous yboy than as unyielding as he was now.
Natasha took thest bit of feed from Alexei’s palm to feed the birds. Smiling, she looked at him and said, “Alexei, we’re almost a tourist attraction.”
One after another, it was truly bustling
Alexei smiled slightly, reaching out to gently touch a particrly docile bird resting on her hand.
“Annoying flies,” said Alexei.
“Huh?”
Natasha discovered another acquaintance.
Looking at the back of the person who was facing away from them and leisurely fishing at sea, she nudged Alexei’s arm, saying, “I’m now wondering if the yacht can even safely make it to shore.”
What a diverse group of guests, a real hodgepodge! The organizer certainly knew how to invite people..
