Chapter 171
He stood there in a dark suit that accentuated his tall, lean frame and aristocratic air. His face, as chiseled as a Greek sculpture, was still handsome enough to steal
one’s breath away.
Natalie Watson stopped in her tracks.
Just as she saw him, Alexander Ramirez saw her. His expression remained a blank mask, but a flicker of surprise crossed his deep, dark eyes. *He must have never expected to see me here*, she thought with a self-deprecating smile.
“No way. Are they getting back together?” Arianna Mitchell muttered under her breath. As far as she was concerned, Alexander and Camila White had always had a thing.
Camila, about to speak to Alexander, noticed his gaze fixed on something ahead. She followed his line of sight.
Natalie Watson?
Her eyes darted between the two of them before she looped her arm through Alexander’s, a triumphant smile spreading across her face.
Natalie’s gaze fell on Camila’s hand for a moment before she looked away. “Let’s go,” she said to Arianna.
She was just as surprised to see him as he was to see her. Surprised that they were so intimate again. So, this was why he’d changed his mind. In the end, it was always Camila he loved.
“Ms. Watson p>
Just as they turned to leave, Camila’s voice stopped them.
“What a coincidence, you’re at the hospital too? By the way, how’s your hand? Should I have Alex call in another specialist for you?” Camila’s tone was dripping with false concern, as if they were the best of friends, but the look in her eyes was pure, undisguised contempt.
Before Natalie could respond, Arianna snorted. “What, are you already a part of the Ramirez family? Calling the shots for the Ramirez Group? You’re just a mistress. Instead of keeping a low profile, you’re flaunting yourself in front of Natalie. You have no shame p>
“You!” Camila shot back, her eyes blazing with fury. She looked like she was about to stomp her foot, but then she suddenly clutched her stomach.
“Alex, my stomach really hurts. Do you think… do you think there’s something wrong with our baby p>
Baby?
Their baby?
Natalie, who had been composed until now, froze. Arianna was equally stunned. She turned to Natalie and whispered, “What did she just say? Their baby p>
Alexander’s handsome brows
furrowed. He glanced at Camila’s
stomach, then turned a cold glare on Arianna, if you continue with these malicious slanders, expect to hear*** from my lawyer p>
“Slander?” Arianna’s eyes widened. “You and Natalie haven’t even finalized your divorce! This woman is the other woman, plain and simple. What part of that is slander p>
Alexander ignored her, his gaze shifting to Natalie. His dark eyes were devoid of any warmth. “You remember the time for the final paperwork the day after tomorrow, don’t you p>
He was reminding her that Camila wouldn’t be the other woman for long. Soon, their relationship would be legitimate.
Natalie took a deep breath. “Nine o’clock, Mr. Ramirez. I hope you’ll be on time. Wouldn’t want to hold up your happily ever after p>
Alexander stared at her, his silence stretching on.
Without a second glance, Natalie turned and pulled Arianna away.
“You can’t leave yet!” Camila called out.
Arianna spun around, furious. “What more do you want p>
“It was your words that made my stomach hurt. You can’t leave until the doctor confirms everything is okay After all this is a Ramirez family heirs if something happens, someone has to take responsibility p>
Arianna laughed, a sharp, incredulous sound. She had never met a woman so utterly shameless.
She was about to argue when a hand pressed down on her shoulder.
Natalie took two steps forward. “There are many reasons for a miscarriage. But if a few words are enough to cause one, perhaps you should have your own health checked first p>
Seeing Natalie’s firm stance, Camila immediately turned to Alexander with a worried expression. “Alex, it was Ms Mitchell’s words that made me feel unwell this baby is so precious. Your grandmother and mother are so excited about it p>
Alexander’s jaw tightened. After a moment, he looked at Natalie, his voice flat and
cold. “Neither of you is leaving without my permission p>
He then turned to Aaron Lee, who was standing behind him. “You stay here and watch them p>
Natalie’s eyes twitched. Camila was clearly doing this on purpose. Couldn’t he see that? No, it wasn’t that he couldn’t see it. It was that he was willing to do this for Camila. Read complete versıon only at.net
As Alexander walked away with Camila, she glanced back over her shoulder and gave Natalie a subtle, triumphant smirk.
