After the constant messages and persuasion, Natalie finally agreed to go out for lunch with her..
After the constant messages and persuasion, Natalie finally agreed to go out for lunch with her..
However, it wasn’t as awkward as before.
Lila didn’t come with her cocky friends this time.She seemed kinder now.
“Natalie, I’m really sorry for all the things I have said and done.Will you forgive me? Those were my friends’ ideas.I don’t hang out with them anymore.Now that I think about it, I feel ashamed of myself.They were all bad influences.”
Lila sounded sincere.
“I’m glad you’ve changed.Mom has always been worried about you, I’m sure she will be happy to see you like this,” Natalie said flatly.
She wasn’t a big fan of Lila.
But considering they were family now, Natalie put an effort to be nice to her.
The relationship between Johanna and Lila also got better since Lila started playing a loving sister to Natalie.They bonded well.
“Have you been hanging out with Natalie?”
Johanna asked as she brought soup from the kitchen.
“I kept the soup warm for you.” Lila nodded.
She had blindly followed Charis’s instructions.
As expected, Johanna seemed to like her better now.
However, it didn’t make Lila happy.
Instead, it only broke her heart to know that she had to play nice with Natalie to get the love and care from her parents.
That weekend, Charis called Lila.
“Are you free tomorrow? I have two tickets for skydiving.I had planned to go with my friend, but something came up.I have to go back and meet my family.I will give the tickets to you.You can have fun there.”
Lila had been thinking about what to do during the weekend, and she loved skydiving.
“But I don’t have any friends now,” she finally said.
Her best friends didn’t hang out with her anymore.
“Don’t you have a sister?”
Charis smiled, slyly indicating her to do something.
“It would be a great opportunity to bond with her.”
After washing up and getting dressed, Sebastian went back to the bedside and stroked Natalie’s hair.
Then, he leaned forward and kissed her.
Natalie squeezed her legs together as the growing sensation made her uncomfortable.She was half naked, revealing her slender back.
“I’m going to the company now.”
Sebastian smiled, his eyes gleaming with tenderness.He touched Natalie’s quivering lashes and trailed down her flushed cheeks.
Not long after Sebastian left, Natalie’s phone rang.She was still sleepy.
Sebastian hadn’t let her rest last night.
Natalie was exhausted; her body felt like jelly.She didn’t feel like moving out of bed.
But her phone kept ringing and she had no choice but to pick up.
“Hello, who’s this?”
Natalie mumbled, her eyes still closed.
“Natalie, it’s me, Lila.Are you free this afternoon?” Lila asked, coming straight to the point.
“Do you want to go skydiving with me? I have an extra ticket.” Natalie pursed her lips and thought about it.
Sebastian had to work overtime today.It would be boring to stay at home all alone.
Besides, Natalie had never gone skydiving before.She was thrilled to try it.
“Okay.Send me the address.I’ll directly go there in the afternoon.”
Natalie hung up the phone and slept until noon.
Before meeting Lila, she sent a message to Sebastian, informing him that she was going to try skydiving.
But Sebastian was busy; he hadn’t read the message.
Natalie and Lila soon arrived at the club and took a helicopter to the spot.
“Natalie, have you tried skydiving before?” Lila asked when she saw the excitement in Natalie’s eyes.
“No, but I’ve always wanted to try.”
Natalie’s stomach flipped with excitement and fear as she looked down at the surrounding mountains.
Everything looked tiny from where she was standing.She had never tried skydiving before and couldn’t wait to experience it.
Hearing it was Natalie’s first time, the coach once again enlisted the dos and don’ts.Lila had tried skydiving several times.It was no big deal to her.
Thus, she felt relaxed.
