Chapter 14 Anathea and asked casually , " What do you do for a living , Ms. Jacobson ? " A dark look flashed across Anathea's gaze when she heard that . +25 BONUS Xander lowered his voice as well . After all , as far as he could remeber , Anathea didn't seem to have done anything other than cooking and doing laundry every day . " Oh , I forgot that you're a full - time housewife now , Ms. Jacobson , so you don't have a job . " Natalie put on a slightly apologetic smile . " I'm so sorry . I hope I didn't offend you . " However , despite her apology , the condescending look of superiorly was evident in her slightly challenging gaze She said teasingly , " Greg , I remember you saying that you want to marry someone who can be your equal . By the looks of it , there are still some inconsistencies . " Gregory was on the phone with Martin , so he didn't respond . Xander glanced at Natalie , who exuded an air of a confident and successful woman . Then , he looked at Anathea , who was gentle and mild . He had a slightly disappointed look in his eyes . He was fine with a gentle mother , but still , he would prefer a mother who was a little more competent . Anathea noticed the changes in Xander's gaze . She felt something stifling in her heart . Even a child preferred Natalie , who was skilled in various aspects let alone Gregory . " That's all . Make the necessary arrangements . " After ending the call , Gregory returned to the dining table . He was expressionless as he said calmly , " If you're done with breakfast , let's get going " " Sure . " Natalie picked up her bag and bade Xander goodbye . " Goodbye , Ms. Whitman ! " Xander replied enthusiastically , " See you later , Xandy . " As Xander watched the two leave , his enthusiasm gradually faded , Looking at Anathea , who didn't seem to stand out much , he suddenly told the butler to take him to school . The butler , Cyrus Lavette, felt troubled as he asked for Anathea's opinion . " Mrs. Sinclair , do you think …… .. ' After all , Xander had asked Anathea to take him to school yesterday .

" She even took out her phone and showed Xander the art exhibitions she'd coordinated overseas . Just like Gregory , Natalie had skipped a grade to enter college . The'd taken different majors , but since she'd been capable of getting into the same college as Gregory , het competence was undeniable . If not , there wouldn't have been any rumors of het and Gregory being a matchs made in heaven However , Natalie's family had been significantly inferior to the jacobsons back then . Brisa had felt that the Whitmans were below them . That was why Adam had had a chance to get Anthea to marry into the Sinclair family . Now that Anathea thought about it , she felt like she was the bad who'd forced a couple to break up . However , she clearly remembered that she'd already thrown away Gregory's drugged wine back then . After all , despite her love for Gregory , she had her own principles to stick by . She'd never do something so despicable . However , för some reason , Gregory had still managed to drink that wine . On top of that , after Anathea had sipped a seemingly harmless drink , she'd gradually lost consciousness . When she'd woken up later , she'd found herself and Gregory lying naked on a bed . His strong body had been weighing down on her , and she'd felt a painful sensation in the lower half of her body . She'd instinctively wanted to push him away , but he'd just been too strong for her . She couldn't move him at all . Moreover , she'd actually liked Gregory , so when the latter had lowered his head to kiss her , she'd gradually relaxed her jaw and stopped biting her lip . Later on , she'd decided to sneak away after the accident . She had never expected Gregory would keep her by his side the whole night . In the end , she'd been out cold .

He looked at Natalie as if he were looking at his idol As the two chatted enthusiastically , Anathea sat nearby without saying a word . In the past , Gregory had forbidden Anathea and Xander from talking at the dining table . Anathea tried her best to keep quiet during mealtimes so that Gregory wouldn't be upset . Now , by the looks of it , rules could be broken after all . It was just a matter of who was breaking them . Obviously , Natalie was the exception .
