Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **HereSelf 576** The store was a veritable treasure trove of finely tailored suits, each one a testament to impeccable style and exceptional craftsmanship. As Natalie browsed through the racks, her eye was drawn to the exquisite details and the luxurious fabrics that whispered of sophistication. After a thoughtful selection, she decided to purchase two suits for Baron, knowing how much he appreciated looking sharp. With her shopping list in mind, she shifted her focus to the casual section, where a vibrant array of styles awaited her.
The casual wear was a delightful contrast to the formal attire, offering a more relaxed vibe. Natalie carefully selected two outfits that she felt would perfectly complement Baron's laid-back style. She envisioned him wearing them, perhaps on a sunny weekend outing or a casual dinner, and smiled at the thought. Next, she made her way to the children's section, her heart swelling with love for her two little ones. With no bodyguards accompanying her today, she was aware of her limitations; she couldn't overindulge in purchases that would be cumbersome to carry.
Nevertheless, she picked out a few adorable outfits for her children and, on a whim, added two more for Holt, thinking of how much he would appreciate a little surprise. As she gathered her selections, the realization hit her that the pile was becoming too much for her to manage alone. With a sigh, she approached the sales associate and arranged for everything to be delivered to the villa. It was a small convenience, but it made her feel a sense of relief wash over her.
With her shopping duties complete, she looked forward to treating herself to a refreshing drink before tackling the gift boxes she needed for the upcoming launch event. She stepped into the café, her mind buzzing with thoughts of the day ahead, but little did she know that fate had other plans. As she reached the entrance of the café, she was taken aback to find Jensen standing there. His presence was unexpected, and she felt a rush of surprise course through her.

He stepped forward, blocking her path, his eyes alight with a mix of emotions-excitement, perhaps, but also something deeper that she couldn't quite place. "Natalie," he said, his voice tinged with an urgency that caught her off guard. Jensen didn't appear to be in the best of health. The remnants of Rachel's cruel act lingered in his demeanor, the pallor of his skin and the fatigue in his eyes betraying the toll it had taken. Although he had sought medical help and the drugs had been neutralized, he still felt an overwhelming sense of weakness.
The doctor had insisted on a month of rest, but as the CEO of Luke Corp, his responsibilities weighed heavily on him, demanding his immediate attention. He had come to the café today for a meeting with a business partner-an appointment that felt more like a chore than anything else. This particular partner was a widow who had shown interest in him for quite some time. Now that she was aware of his divorce and the end of his previous relationship, she had seized the opportunity to pursue him more actively.
The choice of venue-a romantic café-had not escaped him, and he felt a knot of discomfort in his stomach at the thought. In truth, Jensen had been reluctant to attend. His thoughts were consumed by Natalie, who seemed to radiate beauty in a way that left him breathless. She appeared more graceful, more elegant than he remembered, and there was an undeniable charm about her that pulled at his heart. Most importantly, he felt an insatiable need to repay her for everything she had done for him-he owed her more than he could articulate.
In his heart, he couldn't help but think that Baron was utterly unworthy of someone like Natalie. Seeing her here, in this moment, filled him with an exhilaration he hadn't experienced in a long time. But for Natalie, the encounter felt like an unfortunate twist of fate. "Mr. Jensen, why are you out and about instead of resting at home?" she asked, her voice steady but laced with concern. As she spoke, she instinctively took a step back, creating a physical distance between them.
She couldn't shake the feeling that Baron would disapprove of this interaction, and the thought of his displeasure made her uneasy. Natalie didn't want to see Baron in a bad mood; the mere idea of it weighed heavily on her. She considered simply turning around and leaving. After all, coffee wasn't a necessity. Jensen, however, sensed her intention and quickly stepped into her path again, desperation creeping into his voice. "Natalie, can we please be civil? Let me buy you a cup of coffee, just a cup. I swear, that's all it is.
I won't impose any further." As she looked at him, this humbled version of Jensen, she felt a strange disconnect. This was not the man she had known-the one who carried himself with an air of superiority. It was bewildering to see him so vulnerable, almost pleading. What was he really after? Just as she opened her mouth to respond, a sharp, cutting voice pierced the air. "Mr. Jensen, can't you see she doesn't want to see you? That she wants nothing to do with you?
You're the CEO of a major corporation; how can you expect to expand the Luke family business when you can't even read a room?" The voice was unmistakable, and it sent a jolt through Jensen, darkening his expression. Natalie, on the other hand, felt a flicker of recognition. She turned instinctively, and there stood Yulia-the very woman who had recently visited her studio. Instead of reacting with anger to Jensen's words, Yulia laughed, a sound that was both mocking and self-assured. "So what if I have a venomous mouth?
As long as I'm still the young miss of the Gunn family, even as a widow, I have plenty of suitors lining up for me. Jensen, don't pretend to be so noble. You came here today; don't tell me you were unaware of my intentions. Since you knew and still chose to come, can I assume that Mr. Jensen is willing to climb into my bed for the sake of a partnership and some orders?" Yulia's words struck Natalie like a bolt of lightning, leaving her momentarily speechless. She turned to Jensen, disbelief etched across her face.
"Has the Luke family fallen so far that you have to sell your body to keep it afloat?" she asked incredulously. Even though she was no longer designing for Luke Corp, she believed in Jensen's capabilities. Surely, he could restore the family's legacy with time and effort-it wouldn't be impossible. The weight of Yulia's insinuations hung heavily in the air, and Natalie could hardly process the implications of it all. The tension between the three of them was palpable, and she felt as though she was standing on the precipice of something significant.
**Chapter 577 Yulia's Terms** Conclusion In the aftermath of the unexpected confrontation, Natalie found herself grappling with a whirlwind of emotions. The sharp words of Yulia echoed in her mind, leaving a bitter taste that mingled with her concern for Jensen. She had always believed in his potential, yet the insinuation that he might resort to such desperate measures for the sake of his family legacy shattered her faith momentarily. As she stood between the two, the weight of their past and the uncertainty of their future loomed large.
The connection she had felt with Jensen, once a source of warmth, now felt fraught with complications, and the thought of Baron's potential disapproval gnawed at her heart. Yet, amidst the chaos, a flicker of resilience ignited within Natalie. She realized that her loyalty to Baron did not preclude her from caring about Jensen's well-being. In that moment, she understood that true strength lay in the ability to navigate the complexities of human relationships without sacrificing her own values.
In the upcoming chapter, "Yulia's Terms," readers can expect the tension to escalate dramatically as Natalie grapples with the shocking implications of Yulia's words. With the air thick with uncertainty, Natalie must confront not only her feelings for Jensen but also the precarious position he finds himself in. Will she defend him against Yulia's scathing remarks, or will her loyalty to Baron cloud her judgment? The stakes are higher than ever as the trio stands at a crossroads, each character's motives and desires intertwining in a web of ambition, vulnerability, and rivalry.
Moreover, the chapter promises to delve deeper into Jensen's internal struggle as he navigates the fallout from Yulia's audacious claims. With his health still fragile and the weight of his responsibilities pressing down on him, readers will witness whether he can rise above the chaos or if he will succumb to the pressures surrounding him.
