Bjorne could understand Natalie’s choice. Perhaps she wanted to prove her innocence.
In Bjorne’s opinion, this was a little pretentious. However, this was also because the woman was reserved, and he could understand her. Natalie wanted to become outstanding to have an equal position with Bjorne before confirming their relationship.
Before, when Natalie didn’t know Milos, although she didn’t mock him, she hadn’t given him enough trust. Now that Bjorne had won his reputation in the Neva Province, she was embarrassed to suddenly fall in love with him.
Money could bring someone all kinds of friends in the world, but only on the bad days would one know which was the real one.
Natalie knew very well that she could not compete with Hannah at the moment. After all, Hannah was the one who accompanied Bjorne when he was just a nobody.
“Your dream is not easy to achieve. After all, there is only one Jade in the world.” Bjorne held his wine cup, took a sip, and smiled helplessly.
“I will do my best, and I believe that hard work will repay me,” Natalie insisted, “Moreover, I have improved a lot.”
Bjorne spread out his hands and said, “Then what if you’re unable to accomplish your goal? Will you avoid this question forever?”
“Time will always give the answer. At the very least, I decided to give it a try!” Natalie smiled and said.
Bjorne made a face and said, “Can I say that you’re a bit of a hypocrite?”
Natalie pursed her lips and said, “You are free to think what you like!”
Bjorne laughed and said, “I’m kidding. I just want to see your resolution. I wish you success.”
Natalie clinked her glass with him and whispered, “I wish you success too, and I’ll pay attention to you.”
“That’s a lot of pressure…” Bjorne finished his wine in one gulp, taking a deep breath and feeling extremely comfortable.
Natalie rolled her eyes at him and said, “Be careful!”
Bjorne knew what she was talking about, so he nodded. He didn’t need to be reminded about this, and he had carefully kept his physical condition at a peak level recently. Killing him would not be an easy task. After all, he used to be so many bullies tortured and trained in Devendill Prison.
The two of them changed to some relaxing topics. They chatted and laughed, drank a little sake, and felt satisfied. Although the sake was not strong, both of them had drunk a lot and felt a little dizzy.
In the middle of the night, Bjorne paid the bill and found he cost two thousand dollars for a meal. He took a taxi and sent Natalie home.
When Hector saw that it was Bjorne who had sent Natalie back, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “Thank you for sending her back.”
Bjorne said casually, “It’s nothing. We chatted and drank a little more. I’m sorry to let you worry, Uncle Hector.”
Hector said, “I won’t be worried if I knew she was having dinner with you. I’m very relieved to have you with her.”
Natalie yawned and waved to Milos, she said, “Alright, I’m home. You can go back and rest. We can do it again when you’re free,”
Bjorne nodded, then turned to the taxi and left.
“What’s happened?” Hector looked at the taillights of the car and asked with a frown.
“We’re just having a meal, drinking, and chatting,” Natalie replied truthfully with a smile..
With a sigh, Hector asked, “Have you discussed your future?”
Natalie said, “We decided to talk about it later! Dad, remember to wake me up at four o’clock tomorrow morning…”
Hector couldn’t help but smile bitterly and asked, “Have you really decided to practice with that Rudolph at four o’clock every morning?”
Natalie nodded and said thoughtfully, “My background and talent are not comparable to Jade, but I can make up for it with my hard work. Those hard–working stories have inspired countless people.”
“I also believe that hard work, determination, and perseverance always win out. I’ll be a better version of myself!‘
Hector hesitated and asked, “Isn’t this too much to ask yourself? In fact, you only need to do your business well.”
Natalie shook her head and asked, “Can I compare with Wendy in business?”
Hector was stunned. Natalie rarely talked about herself like that. Obviously, the recovery of her memory had changed something.
Hector also admired Wendy’s talent. Her parents had been killed in an accident, and her close relatives were all either dead or disabled.
At that time, she was just a college student. After her parents‘ death, she resolutely dropped out of school, carried the entire responsibility of the Giradia Group, and led it to success step by step. It was truly admirable!
In the area of business, Natalie was definitely not as talented as Wendy.
“Don’t you think it was too late to practice martial arts…” Hector frowned and said.
“I’m not just practicing martial arts! I have a lot of things to learn from him!” Natalie looked at her father’s haggard face and said seriously.
“No matter whether it is for the future of the Johnson Family or me, I have to work hard. I don’t care about sweat or tears. I just want to have a full life and won’t have so much regret.”
Natalie’s sincere words moved Hector.
He looked deeply at his daughter and smiled, “All right, you persuaded me. No matter what you do next, you have won my full support!”
“As for my mother…” Natalie said helplessly.
Luisa walked out of the door’s shadow, sighed softly, and said, “I also support you.”
Natalie was taken aback. She didn’t expect her mother to be eavesdropping!
“It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been so snobbish, things wouldn’t have turned out like this,” Lulsa said with annoyance.
“Thus, I will support you no matter what you do. Tomorrow at four o’clock in the morning, I’ll wake you up with your dad!”
With a bright smile, Natalie took a deep breath and said, “Thank you, mom!”
Luisa touched Natalie’s head and said, “I would do anything for you. You’re not allowed to drink so much next time. It’s bad for your health!”
“Bjorne is really a careless man. He didn’t even know how to advise you not to drink too much.”
Natalie laughed and went back to her room to rest.
Hector said to Luisa, who was sighing, “Why are you sighing? Although we lost a good son–in–law, it’s a good thing that our daughter has become more mature.”
Luisa pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. She was still blaming herself.
Bjorne knew nothing about what Natalie was going to do next. If he knew that Rudolph would secretly do these things behind his back, he would definitely break Rudolph’s legs.
He got out of the car at the Almonube Estate and then walked to his villa. He walked all the way slowly and looked very relaxed. However, none of the enemy forces that were secretly observing him dared to make a move.
