Chapter 728

Luna sighed.

Natalie looked at her, confused. “What are you sighing for? You’re still young. If you sigh too much, you’ll stop growing p>

Luna was speechless. “Sis, I’m already grown up. How could I stop growing p>

“Right. Anyway, keep an eye on things online. Let me know immediately if anything happens. I’m working on the spring design drafts p>

This season’s sales had been so good that it filled her with motivation. She instantly shed her pessimistic mood.

A spark returned to her dark, beautiful eyes.

Luna smiled. “Okay, sis. I’ll watch Joanna. The second she makes a move, I’ll tell you. Don’t get all lovesick again. Remember your motto: be your own successful, independent woman p>

Natalie smiled back. “Right p>

Deep down, Natalie felt a faint sense of unease. Because of what happened with Mrs. Wilson, the Wilson family would surely try to crush her.

She just didn’t know when they would make their move.

No matter what, both Joanna and Sophia would try to make her the scapegoat for this mess.

But she had an ace up her sleeve, so she wasn’t afraid.

Her only fear was that they might disregard human life just to frame her.

Natalie pressed her lips together, thinking about the slander online. Her beautiful face turned cold. “I wonder what they’ll do next p>

“What who will do next?” a low, pleasant voice asked from above her.

Natalie looked up abruptly to see Sebastian’s infuriatingly handsome face. He had his usual cool, detached expression, but under the lights, his features seemed even more striking.

Natalie was annoyed. “Can’t you knock when you enter a room? And why don’t you make any sound when you walk p>

Sebastian’s deep eyes were appraising. “I did knock. I came in after knocking. As for why my footsteps are silent, it’s because the floor is carpeted p>

He looked down slightly, his expression noble and aloof. A hint of a smile played in his charming eyes.

He had, in fact, knocked when he came in, but she had been so lost in thought that she hadn’t heard him.

He placed a glass of warm milk on her desk. “Drink some milk. Don’t just focus on work p>

Natalie was a little surprised. This was the second time Sebastian had brought her warm milk.

“Thanks.” Natalie hesitated to drink it. She bit her lip, wanting to say something but holding back.

Sebastian knew what she was thinking. “Don’t worry, it’s not poisoned p>

A flicker of unease crossed Natalie’s face. How did he know?

Elnet

“I was worried you might have poisoned it. After all, Joanna is carrying your child You have every reason to plot against me to make room for her p>

A cold glint appeared in Sebastian’s calm eyes, and an icy aura emanated from him. “Didn’t you see the news p>

His voice was casual as he sat on the edge of her bed. The faint, clean scent of the sheets stirred something in him.

He desired Natalie.

Natalie froze, staring at his handsome face. Whenever she was with him, she couldn’t help but be captivated by his refined features.

“What news are you talking about? I’ve been drawing design sketches. I haven’t been watching the news p>

Sebastian explained, “The child in

Joanna’s womb is not mine. How

many times do I have to say

it

before you believe me? I have never

touched Joanna. And I have never

touched you p>

His dark eyes were fixed on her.

Natalie was taken aback, recalling the photos. “But those photos weren’t photoshopped p>

“They were, but the work was very good. Joanna was still young back then. By the time she was old enough to marry, I had my car accident, and she left. In the year since she’s been back, she has stayed over at our pla

often, but m rarely home Why would you think I’d sleep with her p>

This was the first time he had ever explained himself.
