Chapter 146
A row of handsome men with distinct styles stood in the center of the hotel lobby.
They were so eye–catching that all passersby couldn’t help but stop and watch.
The leading man had bright, dark puppy eyes, with dimples that surfaced when he smiled, exuding a sunny and warm vibe. The man to his right had a pair of flirtatious eyes that seemingly could possess people’s souls. The man to the left had a strong jawline and a very masculine aura. His brows knitted and eyes melancholy and full of mysteries which attracted people to explore. Undoubtedly, a lot of women couldn’t resist the last type.
As for the rest of the group, each had their charm. There was a pretty boy with blonde hair and fair skin and a wicked smile; A stern, sharp–eyed, cool guy; A gentle, cultivated scholar with a gentle and warm presence. Even in a high–end club, it was hard to find so diverse high–quality men.
Darren pulled a long face as soon as he saw them, sending off a dangerous and threatening aura. “Who are they?” asked Darren in a casual tone as if he didn’t care about it at all.
Natalie was completely different from him. She answered with a radiating smile, “Oh, they’re from my backup boyfriends.”
Darren asked, “All of them?”
“Yep,” admitted Natalie directly.
Darren let out a cold grin, bent over, and whispered in Natalie’s ears, “Have you seen theirs? Which one is bigger than mine?”
Natalie paused for a moment before realizing what he meant. She angrily scolded, “Your head is only full of obscene vile assumptions, right?”
Darren ignored her and coaxed, “Tell me. I won’t be mad.”
“You’re insane!” Natalie glared at him.
Darren said with a cold tone, half–jokingly, “Or I’ll have them all emasculated if I don’t have a target. What do
you think?”
Darren had a deep and low voice which was extremely sexy when he flirted with Natalie, but at this moment, Natalie sensed a hint of danger and cruelty in it.
She looked up and met Darren’s dark and enchanting eyes.
However, seeming to perceive Natalie’s fear, Darren smiled and said slowly, “I’m just teasing you. Don’t be afraid.”
Natalie found it hard to read Darren. After thinking about it, she said, “Don’t go crazy. We’re divorced.” She was reminding him that it had nothing to do with him no matter who she chose to be with.
Darren gave a nod, which was considered an agreement by Natalie, however, the next second, Darren leaned forward, his cold and sharp eyes slightly narrowing and his hand gently stroking her hair.
Darren whispered in Natalie’s ears, “Natalie, I can tolerate you getting into the entertainment industry, refusing my proposal, and even saying something unpleasant to me as you’re happy. However, don’t you dare to touch other men! I have no idea what I’ll do, I swear.”
Natalie had never seen such a Darren. In the past three years, even when their relationship was at its worst, he never treated” her with this attitude.
She felt a strange feeling in her heart, but she remained composure and said calmly, “Do you think you can still control me?”
“You can test it,” replied Darren.

After finishing speaking, he turned to the counter and talked about renting a car without looking at the group of men in the lobby anymore.
Natalie looked at him suspiciously and started to think aimlessly ‘He was so different. Perhaps this is his true self, cruel and decisive. If he’s gentle and easygoing, how could he take care of his big family business and survive the internal fight of the Luther family five years ago?‘
Suddenly, someone’s call brought Natalie back to reality. She saw the young man with puppy eyes coming over to her.
He said enthusiastically, “Hi, Nat, I’m 88. These behind me are… Forget it, they are unimportant people. You only need to remember me!”
Natalie was amused and said, “Didn’t I tell you not to come?”
“No way, we are here to support you! Since I’m here, do you consider changing your partner?” asked 88, blinking his big eyes,
Natalie shrugged, “I would like to. Why don’t you ask the director?”
So, a group of people looked directly at the deputy director behind the camera. Gary smiled brightly and a great number of the audience flooded into the live broadcast room instantly.
‘I would like to. One Darren for so many handsome guys, what a great deal! But according to the regulations, I’m afraid that it’s not appropriate to alter the guest,‘ thought the director.
He said politely with an apologetic tone, “Well, I’m happy to see you all in our season two!”
A stream of comments popped on the screen.
[OMG! Where did Nat find so many handsome guys!]
[The cute
guy said he is 88. Does this mean that Nat owns so many men? I’m so jealous!]
[I suggest we change Darren! I want to see the interaction between Nat and those handsome guys!”
[No, please! Didn’t you see the chemistry between Nat and Darren?]
[What did Darren just whisper to Nat? I’m so curious!‘
While Natalie was chatting with 88 and the other men, Darren parked the car well and then sat on the sofa, arms crossed, watching them talk with a cold face.
Natalie was originally having a good conversation, but she suddenly felt uneasy as she felt an intense gaze upon her. Natalie turned her head and glared at Darren who raised his eyebrows with an innocent look. Even though he said nothing, Natalie felt that her good mood was affected.
Natalie pursed her lips, bid farewell to 88 and the other men, and came to sit opposite Darren with a cold face.
Natalie asked simply, “When will the car come? Let’s find Ms. Dowd and finish the task quickly.”
Darren casually replied, “Ten minutes later.”
Then they two didn’t speak anymore, and the atmosphere became a bit weird.
Ten minutes later. A Rolls–Royce stopped at the door of Vibe Hotel.
Darren
and Natalie got on one after another, and the car took them on the journey to find Ms. Dowd.
Meanwhile, the young man who called himself 88 sat in a luxury car, watching them leave, and then slowly dialing the phone.

After a while. A warm and lazy voice came from the other end, “Hello.”
The young man said with sparking eyes, “Simon, I saw the fiancee who chose you and dumped you that year.”
