Addiction to Temptation: His Mischievous Sweetheart Captivates Him-Chapter 278: Truly Heartbroken

Alan directly took Natalie Vaughn to the fourth floor. He changed his earlier playful demeanor and looked at her with a serious face.

Solemnly.

"Miss Kristin, do you love Zane?"

Natalie Vaughn didn’t expect Alan to ask such a question. She stared at the transformed Alan, pondering the reason behind his question.

She couldn’t figure it out.

"Why would you ask that?"

"Because Zane actually returned to Brythania just to accompany you, which shows he really loves you. He clearly regards racing as his life, but you are the reason he returned to headquarters. I want to know if you love him; I want to know if his love is worth it."

.... It turns out to be... such a simple thought.

Natalie Vaughn thought that compared to Zane’s other three assistants, Alan was indeed the simplest one.

She bowed her head and contemplated for a while.

"What if I don’t love him?"

Alan’s face instantly changed, his brows furrowed, and he restlessly stamped his feet on the ground.

"Then you should quickly fall in love with him!"

With a burst of laughter, Natalie Vaughn finally couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud. If you don’t love him, then quickly fall in love with him. How does such a naive and simple person manage the headquarters of the GN Group?

"Can you really control whether you love someone or not?"

Alan frowned.

"I can’t understand it. Zane is so handsome, so capable, and so rich. Why wouldn’t you love him?"

Natalie Vaughn crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Well, I’m also good-looking, capable, and have lots of money."

"That’s why Zane loves you."

Natalie Vaughn: ....

"So I should love him?"

Alan nodded heavily.

Natalie Vaughn stared at him for a while, then shook her head with a smile. Whether he was genuinely that simple or just simple when it came to Zane, there was no doubt that like Seraphina Sutton and Genevieve Joyce, Alan not only was an assistant to Zane but also considered him a friend.

"I do love him."

As soon as she finished speaking, Alan’s furrowed brows relaxed, and he whistled at Zane Thorne, who had just come up to the doorway.

"Zane, this is my gift to you."

Natalie Vaughn suddenly turned around and saw Zane Thorne leaning against the wall, arms crossed, smiling happily and proudly. She then looked at Alan, who no longer had the naivety in his eyes.

"..."

Turns out he’s a sly fox.

Thinking about how she just confessed her love to ’simple’ Alan to keep his faith in love and not disappoint his care for Zane, made her head ache.

Zane Thorne heard that; this guy would definitely be proud.

His grin now was as high as the sun.

Natalie Vaughn raised her hand to pinch her temples, and she warned Alan.

"Do you believe that if I call Seraphina Sutton, you’ll end up wandering the streets in Cinnabar and won’t have any Cinnabar cuisine?"

Alan: ...

"No! Zane threatened me to do this."

Natalie Vaughn scoffed inwardly. From the moment she arrived at the company building, she was with them, so how did Zane threaten him? Do they have a secret code?

"Alan, you’ve lost my trust."

Alan: ...

"Zane! You have to compensate me for my loss."

Zane didn’t care what he was saying; he stepped forward and hugged Natalie Vaughn’s waist.

"Say it again?"

Natalie Vaughn snorted coldly.

"I don’t want to. Aren’t you going to see those kids at the club? Why are you still here?"

Zane glanced at Alan, who quickly left and thoughtfully closed the door.

"Waiting for you to go together."

Mainly because Alan is a sly fox; he feared Natalie would be deceived by him if she wasn’t careful, which indeed happened. But... he did hear something that made him very happy.

Zane hugged Natalie Vaughn from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"Baby, say it again, hmm?"

The warm breath brushed against her ear lobe, and Natalie Vaughn shrank her neck, turning her head to avoid Zane’s breath.

"I don’t want to. You never said that."

After hearing this, Zane chuckled a few times, his chest slightly trembling.

"How do you know I didn’t say it?"

Natalie Vaughn frowned.

"How could you have said it? If you did, why don’t I know? Did you say it to another woman?"

Saying this, a spark of anger flared in Natalie Vaughn’s heart. Although she knew it was impossible, she really couldn’t remember Zane ever saying such words to her. Thinking about this, Natalie Vaughn tugged at Zane’s arm around her waist.

"Don’t hug me!"

Zane amusingly released his hand, then turned her around by her shoulders and tapped her forehead.

"What other woman do I have? I only have you, so naturally, I said it to you."

Natalie Vaughn’s frown deepened.

"If you said it to me, how could I possibly forget?"

Upon hearing this, Zane withdrew his hand and inserted it into his pants pocket, snorted softly.

"Isn’t this the point where I should be angry? I was so sincere in my confession, yet baby has no impression at all, which is really disheartening."

Zane’s words were spoken with great authenticity, and he perfectly grasped the tone, successfully making Natalie Vaughn start wondering if she had indeed forgotten.

Yet, her memory has always been good, right?

It was just a few seconds before Zane saw Natalie Vaughn seriously trying to recall, a smirk crossed his lips. He continued to act upset and started to walk out.

Hearing the movement, Natalie Vaughn snapped out of her thoughts and immediately chased after him.

She tugged at Zane’s clothes.

"When did you say it?"

"Hey, even that baby doesn’t remember. I’m really heartbroken."

Natalie Vaughn: ...

"Did you really say it to me?"

"Hey, baby doesn’t even want to believe my words, which makes me even sadder."

Natalie Vaughn: ...

Why does it seem like Zane is possessed, acting like a different person?

"Just say it, I genuinely can’t recall for now."

Upon hearing this, Zane stopped, turned, and lightly tapped her forehead with the back of his finger.

"Can’t recall for now? Or never recalled from the start?"

Natalie Vaughn: ???????

What’s Zane implying with that?

Seeing that Natalie Vaughn couldn’t recall immediately, Zane didn’t ask anymore and turned, pretending to be sad as he went downstairs.

Natalie Vaughn watched the man’s back, pondering his strange comment.

Never recalled from the start?

That sentence is genuinely odd. Could it be that when Zane confessed to her, she didn’t remember at all, and even afterwards, Zane asked, but she still couldn’t recall?

What happened exactly?

Natalie Vaughn was completely puzzled. Logically, Zane’s confession to her should be a very happy event, remembered vividly; how could she possibly forget?

It’s strange, truly strange.

Did she lose part of her memory?

Seeing Zane had already walked far, Natalie Vaughn couldn’t afford to overthink and quickly hurried after him. She saw Zane had already stopped at the corner waiting for her.

Natalie Vaughn pursed her lips, stepped forward, and tugged at Zane’s clothes.

"Then I also confess my love to you once, so neither of us loses out. Don’t be angry."

Zane, back toward Natalie Vaughn, was actually struggling to suppress his laughter. Yet, he continued to act sorrowful.

"No, clearly I’m the one losing out. You confessed, which I know, but I confessed, and you don’t know."

Natalie Vaughn blinked.

"Why don’t you confess again? This time I’ll listen carefully."

Zane: ...

His girl is indeed as clever as always.
