Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law Chapter 182
Advertisement
''Natalie, I admit, meeting Susan again was quite flustering but that was it. What I feel for you is something that makes me feel happy every day. Waking up to see you sleeping next to me makes me for satisfied. Since coming back to City X, you and I have gone through so much and all those things shaped me into a better person. We are imperfect but still I find our flaws special. I always think that it doesn't matter what anyone thinks about me. I don't care even if the world misunderstands me. But, as for Natalie, I don't want her to think of me as someone she can't trust. I don't want her to misunderstand me. I don't also want her to feel insecure. I want to be the last person to hurt her. I want to see her happy always and I want to be the reason why she is happy. I simply want to be her safe haven''
''But, it seems that I have hurt her so much by being silent. I'm sorry Natalie. Can you forgive me? I can't change anything about the past but I promise to be more careful so that I won't make you feel unsafe with me''
Natalie leaned closer and put her head on his shoulder and sighed, ''aye, actually it's nothing. I was just overwhelmed by Laura's words that I couldn't think straight. I shouldn't have let her get to me. I know you can't change the past and I understand. As for Susan, it seems she purposefully came back to claim you, but, I trust you''
''It's getting cold. we should go home'' Mikael stood up and pulled her up. He kissed her forehead and hugged her.

Niania met Alice halfway with a cup of coffee after she finished shooting her scene.
''Alice, something happened while you were shooting your scene. Look…'' Niania showed Alice the pictures of Susan and Mikael.
''What the hell!'' Alice snatched the table and started scrolling, ''this… whoa! Where is my phone? I need to call Mikael and give him an earful''
''Stop it. Mikael has nothing to do with that woman'' Sebastian walked to her and spoke.
Alice looked at him and furrowed her brows. ''Are you on his side because he is your friend? Let me tell you, this is about my sister, I am not going to accept any kind of disrespect meted to her''

''Hey, let me tell you. Susan was our senior back at the University. She and Mikael did have feelings for each other but she left before he could even confess. I'm sure she is the one who went to see Mikael first''
''How do you know so much? Is it because you also have a special talent in dealing with women? Wait! I even have something to settle with you. Come with me'' Alice said and turned, walking away.
Sebastian looked at Alice and shook his head. he followed her.
''Where are they going?'' Zeya asked when she walked to Niania.
''Alice seems to have something to say to Sebastian. Sister Zeya, I brought you a cup of coffee. It's in your dressing room''
''Oo, thank you'' Zeya replied and walked towards her dressing room.
Sebastian looked at Alice with a bored expression when they reached a corner.
''What did you want to talk about?''
''You… tell me the truth. Do you like Zeya or not?''
''Is that why you called me here?'' Sebastian lifted his brows.
''Mm, Zeya is my good friend and she has been hurt already. I need to make sure that the next man she will be with is a good man. I don't have much impression about you''
''You are really a funny character''
''What?''
''Don't worry. If anything, I am protecting her from harm. You should take care of your own business. I think Josh should be worried about you''
''What do you mean?''
''You really have zero awareness when it comes to love, right? How did Josh manage to make you his girlfriend? You are so dense'' Sebastian shook his head.
''Hey! What do you mean by that?'' Alice pouted her lips and looked at him as he walked away. She scratched her hair and muttered, ''what is he talking about?''
Alice turned to go and saw Reynolds walking towards her. He was holding a box of cake in his hand.
''Alice, are you free?'' he asked her.
''Yes, is there something you need me for?''
''Actually, my sister brought me a cake on her way. It's too big for one person so I was wondering if we could eat it together?''
''Sure, let's go to my dressing room'' Alice said as she walked away.
Sebastian looked at them from a distance and sighed, ''aye, Josh really has work to do'' he removed his phone and sent a message to Josh before turning to go. He saw Zeya looking at him.

''What are you doing there? I thought you left already?'' Sebastian walked to her.
''No, I was waiting for Alice but it seems she won't be needing me anymore. I was worried about her when I saw the pictures of Susan and Mikael''
''Is she always that dense? How can she not know that Reynolds likes her? Everyone in the set knows that already but she seems not to be aware''
''Alice doesn't really pay attention to such things. But she definitely knows how to get herself out of tricky situations. I am going home'' Zeya turned to go and Sebastian asked.
''Has Lucas disturbed you lately?''
''No, he doesn't appear before me again since that night''
''I see. Did you bring your car?''
''Yes, but I asked my driver and assistant to leave first since we were closing late. I wanted to catch a ride in Alice's van. Her driver and assistant are still around''
''Let's go. Alice won't be able to send you home. She is going to have a lot of explanation to do''
''What do you mean?''
''I sold her out to her boyfriend. I told him his girlfriend is cheating''
''But, Alice isn't cheating. She sees Reynolds as a friend''
''A man and a woman can never be friends''
''Why?''
''Because one is bound to fall for the other sooner or later''
''But, we are friends and also business partners. You don't like me''
Sebastian stopped by the car and turned to face her, ''then, do you like me?''
''Huh? No, you are my boss. How can I like you?''
''Then, if I weren't your boss, would you have liked me?''
Zeya looked at him, meeting his gaze. Her heartbeat quickened and her face flushed. She pointed at the car door and spoke.
''Why do I suddenly feel cold? I should quickly get into the car'' Zeya opened the door and got inside.
Sebastian smirked and murmured, ''she didn't answer me'' he went to the driver's seat and got in.
….
''Mmm, this cake taste so good''
''My sister makes cakes. If you like it, then I can let her make it for you''
''Josh will really love this flavour''
''Josh… your boyfriend?'' Reynolds asked.
''Mm, my boyfriend''
''I see. I thought it was just a rumour. I didn't know you two were really together''
''What rumour? It is true. Actually, we've been together for a while now''
''Then, he must be good to you?''
''He is good to me. he treats me well''
''Looks like… I came late. You already have someone else in your heart''
''Huh? What did you say?'' Alice asked and they both turned to the door when it opened.
''Darling, I didn't know you would pick me up?''
''I was with my brother at the club so when he left I decided to pass by so that we will go home together'' Josh answered and turned to look at Reynolds.
''Josh, this is my co-actor. We are a couple in the drama. He is called Reynolds. Reynolds, this is Josh, my boyfriend''
''Hi, Reynolds''
"Hi, Josh''
Alice looked at the two men and smiled.
….
Alice got into the car first and Josh joined her in the driver's seat. She yawned and leaned over.
''Tired?''
''I'm tired and sleepy. Today was really hectic. I didn't get much break between scenes''
''I see. I didn't know that you and that actor are close? You were even in your dressing room together''
''We are not close but he invited me for a cake and I didn't want to eat it out with it least I spark dating scandals and rumours. I am with a mysterious man who doesn't like the limelight, I should be careful''
''Actually, you don't have to be careful. I've accepted that I will be thrown into the limelight once a while because I am dating a superstar. Also, my brother is a popular person''
''Don't worry, I am always careful''
''Have you eaten?''
''It's already late. I couldn't resist the cake because it's made from walnuts but now that I've eaten it, I am worried about my weight. What if I become fat at this rate?''
''Then, let's go a little exercise when we get to the house''
''You will accompany me to exercise?''
''Mm, I am your boyfriend after all''
''Thank you''
