Addiction to Temptation: His Mischievous Sweetheart Captivates Him-Chapter 204: When Do You Plan to Hold the Wedding?

Chapter 204: Chapter 204: When Do You Plan to Hold the Wedding?

It’s been over half a year since Natalie Vaughn last saw Tanya Donovan.

Tanya and James Vaughn grew up together. She’s truly soft and innocent, the easiest to fool in the whole family.

Yet, such a person could stay overseas for her career, leaving home for so long, and leaving her brother alone.

Just for this reason alone, Natalie likes her very much.

Soft on the outside, but resilient inside.

Tanya blushed the instant she saw Natalie. Natalie opened her arms and seemed like an elder, and Tanya immediately rushed into her embrace.

"Nina."

Just calling her name made her voice tremble.

Amused, Natalie asked.

"If my brother were here, wouldn’t you cry your heart out?"

Tanya loosened her grip a bit. She wasn’t as tall as Natalie, so she had to look up at her. Just one look made her eyes even redder.

"Why have you gotten thinner?"

Natalie:...

She shouldn’t have teased her; how did she forget that her sister-in-law is a little crybaby?

"Don’t, don’t..."

What Natalie feared most was Tanya crying. Without James, she couldn’t console her at all. It had always been this way; even though Natalie was the younger sister, whenever Tanya cried, she had to transform into an elder sister to comfort her, and her comforting never worked.

Tanya would only listen to James, no one else would do.

"If you cry now, I can’t call my brother."

Tanya raised her hand to wipe her eyes and tried hard to suppress her urge to cry.

Natalie sighed.

"Didn’t I tell you, I was filming the past couple of months."

Though Tanya had been abroad, she was keeping track of Natalie, including her trending topics and the incident of her falling during a wire stunt.

Thinking of this, Tanya reached out to touch Natalie.

"Your injuries....."

Natalie felt ticklish from her touch and quickly caught Tanya’s hand.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, my good sister-in-law, I was fake falling then."

Tanya blinked.

"Fake falling."

Natalie briefly explained the situation about Serena Blackwood, and after hearing it, Tanya inflated her cheeks and frowned.

"That woman is so vicious."

"It’s fine, your sister here is also quite ruthless. She’s already unable to survive in the entertainment circle."

Tanya frowned.

"How are you ruthless? Clearly, it’s that woman’s problem. She deserved it. What you did was right. Shouldn’t we Vaughns just let others bully us for nothing?"

Natalie was a bit surprised that her little crybaby sister-in-law was so strong-minded, and quite a double standard. But what she said was indeed right; Serena Blackwood deserved it.

"But I haven’t asked you lately, how’s your husband?"

Saying this, Tanya frowned and leaned closer to Natalie, speaking softly.

"I heard he’s not easy to deal with, quite arrogant."

Looking the way, as if afraid others might hear.

Natalie smiled and asked.

"Didn’t you see my social media? I’ve flaunted my affection quite a few times."

Tanya blinked a few times.

"Ah, so it’s real."

Natalie:...

"As if there’s a fake one?"

Tanya didn’t say more, but from her silence, Natalie understood what she meant.

Was Natalie the type to fake things just to avoid gossip and being underestimated?

Tanya tugged at Natalie’s sleeve.

"Mostly because I always heard since I was a kid that the Thorne family’s son was difficult, with a big temper, terribly arrogant."

Natalie blinked.

"Sister-in-law, I’m also arrogant."

Tanya frowned.

"No way, you’re so sweet, so adorable."

Natalie laughed so much that her shoulders shook gently. Her sister-in-law was truly gullible. After all these years, she still believed she was a good girl.

...

After learning that Natalie had ideas of continuing her studies, Tanya wholeheartedly supported it.

"Master Bartley is really impressive. I always thought it’d be nice to be his student. Though then you didn’t want it, so I didn’t persuade you."

Natalie smiled a bit.

"Was I really silly back then?"

Tanya shook her head.

"Whatever Nina does, there’s always a reason. Your happiness is most important."

Natalie just loves how her sister-in-law is so completely biased, which is why James dotes on Tanya so much, and why she feels it’s never enough.

"But this matter, you should discuss well with your husband. Though your brother didn’t do much work back then....."

As she spoke, Tanya’s expression turned forlorn.

Natalie teased her with a smile.

"Miss my brother?"

Tanya nodded.

"This time back, staying in the country, right?"

Tanya nodded again.

"My brother’s not young anymore. Sister-in-law, isn’t it time to give me a little niece or nephew to play with?"

Tanya:...

Blushing, she shot Natalie a look.

"You should think about how to comfort your husband first." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Speaking of this, Natalie sighed. Yesterday she chatted with Bartley, and according to him, it would be best to start classes right after the new year. Originally it would take two years, but Natalie thought it was too long, so she compressed it into a year.

But one year is indeed too long.

How to appease Zane Thorne? Never mind appeasing Zane, she couldn’t even convince herself.

"Talk about it when the time comes."

They rested briefly at the hotel before heading to the showcase. Tanya was a jewelry designer, and she brought Natalie a necklace she designed herself.

"This is a birthday gift."

Natalie took one look and loved it, immediately asking Tanya to help her put it on.

"Sister-in-law, where’s my wedding gift?"

"There’s no rush, I’ll give it when you hold the wedding. I’m still preparing."

Upon hearing this, Natalie’s expression froze momentarily.

Wedding.

Zane said he didn’t want a wedding for now. Three months ago, she thought so too. But now, after falling for Zane, not having a wedding is certainly a regret.

"So when are you and Zane planning to have the wedding?"

Natalie gathered her thoughts and smiled.

"Hardly any time. Right after the new year, I have to come study."

"Then after your studies?"

Natalie’s lashes subtly trembled, and she smiled.

"Talk about it when the time comes."

Though no matter how willing Natalie was to take the initiative, she still hoped Zane would bring up the wedding. After all, Zane was the one who originally said he didn’t want the wedding.

She didn’t want to use this matter to create conflict with Zane.

Tanya was perceptive and noticed the oddity in Natalie’s tone with just a couple of sentences.

"What’s wrong?"

Natalie shook her head.

"Sister-in-law, how did you come to like my brother?"

Though Natalie was clear about liking Zane, tracing back to how she started liking him was indescribable. It seemed from the start when she saw Zane’s name and his information, she was already curious about him.

James said a woman’s curiosity towards a man is the beginning of liking him.

Tanya’s face turned slightly red.

"Didn’t you say only your brother could console me?"

"Hmm."

"Then you didn’t think about the reason?"

Natalie:.....????? What reason? James being inherently soothing?

"Maybe it’s fate."

Only James could console her, liking him seems quite normal, doesn’t it? Or perhaps, because she liked him, James’s comforting worked so well.
