Chapter 37
"Mr. Busch, no matter what, you must think twice." Sam worriedly said then went silent.
"Sam, I fully understand your worries." Edward said.
"Mr. Bisch, you still fail to understand the importance of this matter." Sam shook his head.
"Since Natasha's marriage with you, I feel like it was deliberate."
"Sam, I think you have been blinded by a leaf. This matter is not as complicated as you think. It was my proposal to marry her. "
But Sam still thought that he was protecting Natasha.
"But Maxine said that Natasha chose to be with you for money."
Edward did not make a sound. He knew everything about it. It was true at first, but Natasha did not seem to feel as he said. He felt that they had been getting along for a long time, which could not be measured by money.
Seeing Edward did not speak, Sam continued, "Mr. Busch, have you ever thought that when Natasha had failed to seduce Jake before, she became angry from embarrassment, then she wanted to retaliate against Jake, but then she found you, fancy you only because you have money, and you and Jake's identity which was uncle and nephew, isn't all that enough to not trust her?"
Sam speculated again, "Or, there is another possibility, that is, Jake refused her, and then she met you when she was looking for a new goal. She didn't expect destiny to make mistakes and become Jake's aunt. When they met, Natasha was embarrassed and Jake was angry."
Sam seriously guessed, but Edward was unmoved. His reaction made Sam look down. "Mr. Busch, aren't you afraid that Natasha will become the second Alicia?"
When he said those words, he remembered what happened in the past.
The Walsh family really went too far, saying that they didn't want their daughter to marry a nobody, just because they heard that Edward was injured, they decided to not continue the wedding.
As a man, Sam knew what it meant to be said no. But he could not accept it as a man, what more for the unapproachable Edward?
When Alicia's name was mentioned, Edward paused and didn't know what he was thinking.
Although he knew that he shouldn't mention the Walsh family, let alone Alicia, he couldn't watch Edward be cheated by Natasha before he got out of the shadow of the Walsh family.
After calming himself down, Edward finally spoke.
"Sam, I know that you care about me, but Natasha is my wife now, so I should have some trust in her. Moreover, Maxine and Natasha had some barriers. I think whether what Maxine said is true or false, should we stand on Natasha's side first?"
Sam was dumbfounded and thought about it carefully. What Edward said was not unreasonable. When he thought of what happened when Maxine was eating in the Busch family, Maxine at that time meant to sow discord, but Sam could hardly imagine why Maxine and Natasha were not good friends anymore.
But Natasha could not be taken lightly. What if she really became the second Alicia, what would Edward do?
Sam calmed down and looked at Natasha playing seriously.
"Sam, don't tell anyone about this. Hide it first." Edward confessed.
"Okay." Looking at Edward's trust in Natasha, Sam could not say anything, but his heart was very doubtful.
It seemed that he must have a good talk with Natasha.
Their topic was over. As night fell, Natasha was tired, so the three drove back to their family home.
Originally, only two people would go back to the house on Saturday and Sunday, but Natasha was too tired and became sleepy in the car. So Edward ordered the driver to go back to the family house so that Natasha could rest.
Natasha was so tired that when she returned to the house, she hurriedly went to wash and change her clothes, then fell asleep soon after lying in bed.
Early the next morning, Natasha was still tired from playing in the amusement park yesterday. They went home a little late, so Natasha woke up very late. When she woke up, it was already twelve o'clock. She then decided to wash up then went downstairs.
When Natasha arrived downstairs, the living room was quiet, she could only see Sylvia who was cleaning things.
"Natasha, you are awake." Aunt Sylvia greeted her warmly. "Are you hungry? Go to the kitchen, there's food left there. You came back so late yesterday, so I thought that you must have got up late in the morning. I specially left it for you. I will bring it to you now. Wait for me."
"Aunt Sylvia was early. Okay then, since I am really hungry." Natasha, who was embarrassed, scratched her head and sat down.
"Auntie, where are the others?"
"Oh, they went to work before you had time to eat breakfast. They usually would not come back to eat at noon, they were busy."
"Ooh." Natasha looked at the meal brought to her by Sylvia. When she took it, it was still warm. It seemed that Aunt Sylvia specially warmed it up for her. Natasha smiled gratefully at her and quickly ate it.
Halfway through eating, she turned on her mobile phone and played.
"By the way, Miss Penny had someone bring you something this morning. You were sleeping, so I didn't go up and disturb you." Aunt Sylvia saw her and suddenly remembered.
"What is it?"
"It seems to be a dress for you."
"Ooh." Natasha did not care and only nodded, thinking that Edward had asked Penny to buy clothes for her.
After eating and watching funny videos for a while, Natasha inadvertently looked at the date.
"What? Today is Monday? Today was Miss Abby's birthday, right? I almost forgot about it."
Natasha suddenly thought, then put away her mobile phone, and remembered that Penny bought her a dress, so she could try it.
At this moment, her cell phone rang, and when she saw it, it was Penny who called.
"Hey, Natasha, I bought a lot of clothes and asked someone to deliver a dress to you. Try it quickly."
"Sister, thank you, I saw it and liked it very much."
"Natasha, you're welcome. I bought it according to your size. Try a white dress. Wear it today. Take a photo for me later. I'll see them with my own eyes. I think it is especially suitable for you."
Natasha looked for the dress, and sure enough, a box that looked expensive attracted her. She opened it, and it was a white dress.
She spread out the skirt, and every part of the skirt was decorated with delicate patterns, then the waist area was treated with special patterns, which looked very nice and attractive.
"Okay, goodbye, sister."
Natasha took the dress to her room, changed into it quickly, and then took a satisfactory photo in front of the mirror and sent it to Penny.
Penny boasted a few words with satisfaction, she told her to dress like that later. It was a waste that she could not wait for her to go back today, because she was still busy with her work.
Natasha looked in the mirror, put her hair up again, and put a small clip on it, which added a lot of color to herself.
Natasha smiled with satisfaction. She decided to attend teacher Abby's birthday party today.
After taking a good photo, she changed back into her own clothes. After all, she won't be at the reception until five o'clock in the afternoon which was the appointed time. She did not want to be there in advance.
It was still early, so she decided to look around the small garden behind the house.
There were a lot of flowers and plants planted in the small garden, and there was a small pavilion for viewing.
Natasha was planning to sit there for a while and enjoy the scenery. After all, it was so cool there that it was really suitable for summer vacation. She did not expect to find that there was already a person sitting in the pavilion when she approached it a little more.
