Chapter 400 Enticing Prey

Although it wasn’t a full moon that night, the moonlight was beautiful.

The winter breeze was chilling when it blew by her face. Natalie’s nose was a little red, but she didn’t care.

After drinking a sip of beer, she felt a sudden ecstatic sensation as the bubbles in her beer grazed the walls of her throat.

Witnessing the Nichols turning against each other was highly pleasurable for her. Feeling satisfied would be an understatement.

It was just an overture to her concerto of revenge.

But she was also looking forward to what was about to happen next.

In the car.

Christopher gently stroked the small porcelain vase with his fingers.

His eyes were glimmering, and his lips smiled subtly.

He hadn’t seen her since his last birthday.

It’s just Natalie…

Christopher thought he would be able to forget her.

However, he realized now that he was wrong.

It was tough for a person who had seen the light to return to complete darkness.

After all, he had seen the light, so he could never go back.

Christopher’s eyes unknowingly glanced out the window. That was when he saw a slim and beautiful figure drowning herself on a bench by the street under the moon.

He had never seen that adorable face before.

However, the intelligence that glistened in those eyes was imprinted in his memory.

At a glance, he recognized that it was her.

Fate had led them to each other.

So she had more than just the previous mask.

“Stop the car,” Christopher uttered.

Nicholas immediately stepped on the brakes.

“Mr. Christopher, what’s the matter?” Nicholas asked as he was confused.

“You may go back now. You don’t have to send me tonight.” Christopher sounded a little mischievous.

“Yes.” Nicholas nodded.

Before Christopher stepped out of the car, Nicholas glanced at him and caught a hint of merriment in his eyes, as though he spotted an enticing prey.

Nicholas had seen those eyes before.

Those were the eyes that Christopher had when he looked at Natalie.

Christopher got out of the car and walked slowly toward Natalie.

At that moment, Natalie was drinking the second can of beer. Her eyes were curved as if countless stars were falling into her eyes.

As the pair of custom-made leather shoes entered her field of vision from a distance, she slowly raised her face and focused on Christopher’s face that was delicate enough to be indistinguishable between male and female.

No way.

This is too melodramatic.

Why… Why is he here?

Natalie bit her lip and whispered in her heart.

She believed that it would be impossible for Christopher to recognize her under an entirely different hyper-realistic mask.

Thus, even if he was here, Natalie was very calm.

However, Christopher grabbed her wrist in the next second.

“Mister, what… what are you doing?”

Natalie deliberately changed her voice, planning to pretend to be a stranger to Christopher. But he remained unfazed and held her hand tightly.

“You left without saying goodbye at my birthday party, and now you want to pretend that you don’t know me?”

A hint of astonishment bounced off Natalie’s eyes.

Christopher began to smile. “Natalie, no matter how real the skin looks, your facial bone structure will not change. Do you really think that you can fool anyone with the fake skin on your face?”

Natalie looked at Christopher in disbelief.

After all these years of flawless disguise that could even deceive Yandel and Ross, her ability to disguise herself turned into something trivial in the presence of Christopher. As if he could see through it at a glance.

Natalie, whose cover had blown, simply stopped pretending and asked, “When did you replace out?”

“When did Samuel replace out?” Christopher answered Natalie with another question.

Natalie pursed her lips as she was unable to answer his question.

Christopher was too clever. So clever that he could notice the split second of Natalie’s hesitation and guess her thoughts.

“Natalie, Samuel never actually found out, right?”
