After the Divorce, CEO Realizes He’s the Stand-In Lover

Chapter 295 Be lost in a reverie
Take her home?
Natalie’s long eyelashes trembled, as if she didn’t get its meaning. “Do you mean... go.
home?”
Tory let go of Natalie who was a bit confused. He stood up and poured her a glass of
water.
Natalie took the glass, but did not drink it. Instead, she remained stunned and asked,
“You just said home... Do you mean back to the Spears’s?”
Tory nodded and said in an unusually gentle tone.
“Yes, I will take you back to the Spears family.”
“Take you back to see your families.”
Natalie was startled by this sentence while her heart trembled.
The glass in her hand suddenly wobbled, and the hot water spilled out of the cup, wetting
the bedding and left a trace of water on it.
“What’s the matter? Did you hurt?”
Upon hearing the commotion, Tory immediately rushed to Natalie’s side, fearing that his
niece would have any further problems.
Natalie shook her head repeatedly. “It’s okay, it’s okay. I haven’t been burned.”
The man didn’t believe her words and insisted on pulling back the quilts and carefully
examining her before letting go.

“Be careful, do you still feel sick? Are your hands still shaking a bit?” His tone was
unusually concerned.
Natalie didn’t hear Tory’s voice, she was all in an unreal feeling of going home.
Was she really going back to the Spears family?
Was it a dream?
This news came too suddenly... Natalie felt like she couldn’t find out whether it was true
or not for a moment.
Tory did not notice Natalie’s confused state, he only lowered his head to handle the quilt
that had just been sprinkled with hot water.
As he briefly wiped it with a towel, he said to the nurse next to him, “Could you please
bring me another quilt? Thank you.”
The nurse lowered her head and ran out of the door to get the quilt in a hurry.
Sitting in the bed, Natalie seemed to stare in the distance in a daze without blinking her
eyes.
“Does grandpa know about it that I am going to go home?” She paused and asked in a
cautious manner.
Tory smiled and knew what Natalie was hesitating about. It was just that she hadn’t
returned home for many years. Upon hearing this now, she couldn’t react for a moment.
He raised his hand to touch the girl’s hair in an extremely gentle manner. He touched her
hair to comfort her little by little with the broad palm of his hand.

“Don’t worry, grandpa will definitely agree.”
“Otherwise, if grandpa didn’t agree, I wouldn’t dare to bring you back to the Spears.
family.”
Natalie opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something else.
“Then...”
Tory interrupted her.
“You know your grandfather’s temper, he’s really stubborn, and he has an absolute authority in the Spears family. If he doesn’t
agree, no one dare to take you home.”
The man helped her change into a new quilt while lowering his head and muttering
incessantly.
“Moreover, you still need the doctors in our Spears family to treat you. I don’t trust an
outside doctor to treat you.”
“You can’t reject me.” Tory said with a hint of grievance and supplication.
“If
you reject me, I will lose face.”
“Moreover, he originally agreed to take you home, and the house of the Spears family
was already prepared, but you didn’t go back. They thought I was playing around with.
them.”
Then Natalie couldn’t say anything when she was about to refuse, and she smiled.
awkwardly.
Her uncle had said that, it was inappropriate to reject.

Moreover, she hadn’t been home for so long. In fact, she also wanted to go home to visit
her families.
“Shall we go back to the Spears’s house today?”
Natalie looked up and found the sunlight outside the window was a bit harsh, but it was
warm as it fell on her. She really liked it.
Upon hearing Natalie’s question, Tory understood all of a sudden based on what he
knew about his niece.
Natalie agreed!
The smile on the man’s face increased in a flash.
A warm smile hung on the face of the middle-aged man, giving her an instant sense of
kindness.
“It’s best to leave today. I’ve already arranged for the plane, just wait for your order.”,
Natalie nodded while holding a glass in her hand, then she lowered her head to take a
sip.
A pair of eyes seemed a bit erratic as she seemed to be thinking something.
After a moment, she murmured, “Then let’s go today.”
Tory was grinning from ear to ear.
He had long wanted to bring Natalie back to New York, but now it had finally come true,
and he was really excited and happy.
“Okay, okay, you shall lie down first and rest for a while.”

“I’ll ask the bodyguard to drive a comfortable car to pick you up, the car downstairs is
really not suitable for sitting.”
“And since you just recovered from a serious illness, you must take the best car.”
Natalie was worthy of the best.
As Tory spoke, he was about to take out his phone and call the driver.
Natalie obediently lay down. But as her head just touching the pillow, a moment
suddenly flashed through her mind.
In her memory, she sat on the cold marble floor in a state of half unconscious and half
awake when a man appeared in front of her with a flashlight.
She couldn’t see the man’s face clearly, and the light from the flashlight was a bit cold.
But it gave her a familiar feeling.
The feeling that rushed towards her was very similar to... to Henry.
Although Natalie knew that this sudden feeling was likely an illusion after she had a
fever.
She still didn’t want to give up any possibility.
She laid in the sickbed and raised her hand to pull the corner of Tory’s clothes. “Tory, can
I ask you something?”
Tory turned his head. “Go ahead, feel free to ask anything.”
“I want to know who picked me up from the dressing room...?”
As soon as this question was asked, Tory’s face with a smile on it turned into a sullen

one all of a sudden.
As if Natalie asked something she shouldn’t have asked.
Tory’s face turned pale, it was clear that he did not want to answer it.
After all, he didn’t want Julian to appear in his niece’s life, so it was better not to mention
his name.
But as soon as he lowered his head and saw the fragile and hopeful eyes in Natalie’s
eyes, he suddenly could not bear to lie to her.
“Who is it...” Natalie asked again.
She silently hoped for an impossible name in her heart.
Although it was absurd, she still strove to give herself a fantasy.
Because the figure and blurry face in her mind looked like Henry so much...
Maybe?
Maybe it was really Henry?
Staring at his niece’s expectant little gaze, Tory finally sighed.
“It was Julian who took you out of the dressing room.”
“But he answered a phone yesterday and left, without coming back yet. Judging from his
hurried departure, there should be something urgent.”
Tory mentioned this and suddenly added another sentence.
“No matter how urgent that thing is, it can’t be more urgent than your affairs, right?”
“You’re still lying in bed, but Julian just left like that!”

The more Tory spoke, the more angry he became.
“Did he just care about his wife like this?!”
Natalie was just too foolish. There were so many good men in New York waiting in line
to marry her, but she had to marry such a man.
“It’s Julian...” Natalie muttered to herself.
The light in her eyes extinguished in a flash.
It was not Henry...
Did she think too much after all?
Natalie calmed down as she curled her body together and slowly buried her head in the quilt until the whole person disappeared.
In a presidential suite at a five-star hotel in Chicago, it was just dawn.
Julian woke up early.
He sat alone on the sofa, holding a cigarette in his hand while the cigarette was still burning and constantly flickered.
Although he woke up early, but in fact, he didn’t fall asleep all night.
Julian stood up and walked from the sofa to the bedroom.
Under the niveous sheets in the bedroom, Niki slept soundly with her head resting on a
pillow.
Yesterday, Niki didn’t know if she was too aggrieved or for some other reason, she
insisted on living in the same suite with him.
After all, Julian felt guilty and could only book a presidential suite according to her
wishes.

And then Niki dragged him to sleep in the same bed with him...
Recalled the scene yesterday, Julian pinched his nose and felt a headache.
Fortunately, his attitude was quite resolute. He spent the night on the sofa and didn’t
sleep in the same bed with Niki.
Lying on the sofa, he hardly slept all night, and the figure of Natalie was lingering in his
mind.
He didn’t know if Natalie was awake now...
He had an uncontrollable desire to visit her in the hospital.
How was she doing? Had her fever gone down?
