Chapter 59 Not Under the Influence of Alcohol

It was true that one could lose their senses when drunk!

However, John remembered that day very well. Although he had drunk a lot, but he was not completely under the influence of alcohol...

He knew best that he indeed wanted to take her that night.

It was just that he did not know who she was at that time, he only thought that she might be a ‘gift’ arranged for him by someone who was trying to please him.

He never took gifts, especially gifts like this...

However, that day, under the double whammy of excitement, he had a rare desire to indulge in it. In other words, he felt that only in this way could he relieve the heaviness in his heart. He even thought that since he would never marry the person he had wanted to anyway, what difference did it make if it were some other woman?

Even though he saw her crying, even though he could feel that it was her first time, he still went crazy and took her, again and again, that night.

Only after she finally cried fainting under his body, did he stopped and laid down in his sweat and slept on top of her for the entire night.

After that, he slept for three whole days before waking up.

Remembering what had happened, he had wanted to track down the girl, but Luke showed up at that time and handed him a letter.

He could not remember the contents of the letter clearly, but there was only one key point -- she was Luke's fiancée. She had stayed by his side that night hoping that he could help the Shears family get through their difficulties…

There was such a stupid woman in this world unexpectedly, sacrificing her all for a man.

John decided to stop trying to find her. Even though he felt that he had gone too far that night, but why should he care about a woman who would not even cherish herself?

Eight years, it was long enough for him to forget almost everything. He thought he had forgotten it, but, but...that girl was unexpectedly Natalie!

Besides, she had just told him that she did not do it by choice, she had been manipulated by Luke.

Therefore, Luke had personally offered his fiancée back then to have him lend a helping hand to the Shears' hospital, but more importantly, he had also wanted to catch a big fish -- his sister?

He had been deceived for years for such a simple reason…

"Do you know what would happen when you lie to me?"

"I know, that is why I won't lie to you..."

"..."

Her eyes were crystal clear, without any intentions, and they were liked beautiful gemstones that people could not move their eyes from it.

With only one look, people could fall deep into her eyes!

He could not help lowering his head, just as his thin lips were about to touch hers, she blushed and turned her head away.

She did not say no, but her action expressed it...

To be honest, John was unhappy. After all, it was once in a blue moon that he was in the mood to kiss her and the woman did not appreciate it.

However, he was not the kind of guy who could not do without her kiss, so…

He withdrew his hand as naturally as he could. As he walked away, he said, "Keep your distance from him as long as you're still Mrs. Winters."

"Thank you!"

***

She had come without much hope and did not expect that she could convince him.

Up until she got into John's car, Natalie was still lightheaded at how smoothly things had progressed.

Although it was still too early to tell, given what she had learned about him lately, he was the kind of guy who always did what he said he was going to do, so…

Did that mean that she did not have to worry about implicating Sean Quinton?

If so, all the better.

As she was lost in thoughts, she hardly spoke along the way; on the contrary, John seemed to be driving calmly, but he would glance at her from time to time.

Finally, he asked, "I heard your brother is staying with your colleague?"

"..."

Some seemingly unimportant words instantly alarmed Natalie. She lifted her eyes and looked at him with her big and distinctively black-and-white eyes. "Why are you asking about my brother?"

"Don't be so nervous, I'm just asking."

"Zo's house is walking distance to school, so it's very convenient to stay at her house."

This reason...

"Sounds good!" However, it should not be the real purpose, but he did not point it out explicitly. He only said, "Your brother has half a semester left before going to junior high, right?"

"When the time comes, I will move to somewhere closer to his school."

There were only three months left anyway. By that time, she would already be free, so there was nothing to worry about now.

"Are you thinking that we'll be divorced after three months, so there's no need to talk to me about this now?"

Natalie was rendered speechless.

"Your expression looked just like you're asking me, why do I know what's on your mind."

She did not know what he wanted to do, but since they were talking about it already, no matter how worried she was, she might as well just ask directly, "What are you trying to say?"

"If it's possible, it would be better for your brother to move back."

Natalie's eyes slightly darkened at this. She thought, there was no way a person like him would casually ask this.

However, even if she was at a complete disadvantage around him, she should have the right to ask, "Why? Aren't we moving out anyway? Does it matter whether my brother goes back to the Winters’ family house?"

John did not divert his eyes. He was still staring ahead and driving solemnly. "I've checked out Molly's case, it's not your fault. The kid lied."

Natalie's eyes lit up as she heard this suddenly. She felt that this should not be a bad omen, but she was still worried.

Just then, John finally got into the topic. "Molly is a fragile child. Although she was somewhat wayward, she's not intrinsically bad. As long as there's someone to guide her, she'll be a good kid."

"What does this have to do with my brother?"

Natalie realized as she asked this, "You're not..."

"I heard that your brother is a good boy with good character and good grades, so I thought of getting your brother to go to school with Molly every day. Use his positive energy to guide Molly and get her to..." Become a good girl.

"No."

Without waiting for him to finish, Natalie had refused out loud.

She understood that John wanted to educate his daughter as a father, but she would also be concerned about her brother as a ‘parent’ to him...

So, no. Absolutely no!

Never expecting that she would decline so bluntly, the man's brow raised and frowned. "No? Why?"
