Chapter 30 

The living room emanated an atmosphere of harmonious conversation, filled with laughter and jokes that seemed to revolve around something delightful. 

Natalie had just stepped into the doorway and paused when she caught a familiar voice and wondered if she had mistaken it. 

Trevon noticed her abrupt halt, turned his head, and inquired, “What’s the matter?” 

Natalie smiled, shook her head to indicate it was nothing, and proceeded inside. 

Half an hour before dinnertime, Trevon guided Natalie to sit beside him on the sofa. 

Being friendly, Theo’s brother, Carlos Wilson, asked, “Aren’t you going to introduce this beautiful girl to us?” 

Of course, he meant Natalie. 

Trevon responded casually, “This is Natalie, my wife.” 

Well, there was nothing wrong with that. 

Theo, fearing that Trevon might say something to discomfort Natalie, felt. a sense of relief after hearing what he said, resulting in a smile on his face. 

It seemed that what he had just said to Trevon had worked! Theo couldn’t help but feel happy with that. 

Natalie’s beauty captivated Max’s gaze, his eyes fixed upon her. He exclaimed directly without thinking, “Trevon, your wife is truly beautiful.” 

Max saw nothing amiss with his comment, and all eyes turned simultaneously toward Natalie. Even Emily, who had been conversing with Peggy, turned to look at Natalie. 

When she caught a glimpse of Natalie, Emily’s face turned pale, her smile fading instantly. 

One second, she had been engrossed in laughter and chatter with Peggy, but now her countenance was repulsive, as if she had consumed something distasteful.

In a panic, she instinctively grasped Max’s arm tightly. “What are you doing? You’re hurting me!” 

Max, whose attention was fixed on Natalie, snapped impatiently. 

To him, Emily was just a girl who desperately played hard to get, which successfully caused his desire to conquer. After all. Max thought there was no girl he couldn’t handle. She was just another girl he had brought home, and she wasn’t the first, either. 

Max was actually not that into her. At this moment, Max couldn’t help but notice that Emily and Natalie seemed to share the same surname.
