The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 609

Chapter 609

Understanding Natalie’s concerns helped Derek feel better. It turned out she did not actually hate him but feared what others might say about them.

Derek laughed and said, “I didn’t expect you, an unpopular designer, to be more vigilant than me, a famous model.”

Many young female models had previously tried to start rumors with Derek, but he always shut them down.

He did not think Natalie would try to avoid him. The more Derek considered it, the less he wanted to let go of it.

Was Natalie the woman he was supposed to miss out on? He placed his hands on the back of his head and looked at Natalie sitting next to him. Natalie’s beautiful features were continually dazzled by the road’s marbled lights. Her expressions were usually nonchalant. He was curious whether she would reveal her true beauty and charm to Brandon in private.

“I have a headache, Natalie. I drank way too much just now. Please drop me off at my house.” Derek put his hand to his forehead and fell on Natalie’s shoulder.

Natalie gently shoved Derek’s head away and warned, “Behave yourself, or I’ll kick you out of the car now!”

He covered his face and let out a snort.

It was already late, so Natalie called Brandon.

“That’s right, Brandon. I am on my way home.” She glanced at Derek and added, “But I am kind of in trouble. You might have to wait a while for me.”

Derek was upset by Natalie’s sneaky expression. Did she not want Brandon to know he was here so much?

Derek leaned over and cut in on purpose with a sly look. “Who are you talking with on the phone? Is it the old man, Brandon?”

In his office, Brandon’s face got darker. “The voice was definitely Derek’s. What the heck is going on here? Are you with him now?”

“Derek is in my car…” As Natalie was about to explain, the car suddenly sped up. Derek’s b*ody rocked back and he pounced on Natalie.

“Hey!” Natalie said as she pushed Derek away with icy eyes. “Don’t you understand English? I told you to behave yourself!”

“Look, I didn’t mean it!” Derek was pushed to a corner. Groaning, he said, “How could you blame me? The car suddenly sped up. I didn’t mean to take advantage of you!”

Natalie rolled her eyes at Derek, and then looked at Mesue. Instinctively, she turned her head only to find a few cars behind them. Were those cars pursuing us?

Looking worried, Mesue tried to control the direction of the car. “No, I just wanted to put the brakes on, but I realized something was wrong with the car and I couldn’t stop it at all.”

Even though her voice quivered in the wind, her tone was particularly firm. “Okay, I’ll do my best to buy some more time.”

Derek gave Natalie a silent look. She seemed fragile and frightened when she talked to Brandon. The moment she hung up the phone, her gaze hardened. Her tone was firm, and her eyes were clear. “Nothing will happen to us, so don’t worry.

Derek narrowed his eyes and a surge of anger rose in his chest. He clicked his tongue in displeasure and said, “You are being too arrogant, aren’t you?” How could you expect a mere phone call to set me at ease? I don’t believe that Brandon can really find a way to save us!

Derek reached for his pocket and took out his phone, but didn’t know who to call.

“Who are you going to call? Wilder? Or are you going to call the police?” Natalie frowned.

“It’s useless.” She sighed. “Ordinary people can’t solve our problem.”

“Who on earth did you offend?” Derek helplessly asked as he put his phone away. “You’re still the White family’s daughter and the wife of the Larson Group’s CEO, you know? Who would dare to hurt you?”

At that point, he truly wanted to see who that person was.
