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

Chapter 238 Encounter again

It had been almost a week since Julian’s last visit to Greenlife Villa, and Natalie hadn’t seen him or received

any news from him.

As for whether Julian had received the invitation, Natalie didn’t know, and she didn’t really care.

If something comes too easily, it’s unlikely to be valued.

The same goes for authorizations and invitations.

She spent her days alone at home, flipping through the latest medical journals, sipping tea, and occasionally, when inspiration struck, conducting interesting experiments and writing about them herself. She enjoyed the

freedom and solitude.

Today, her plan was to buy a new car.

The previous one had been considered totaled after that chase, and she had no interest in repairing it. It

made more sense to simply buy a new one.

She had actually planned to buy a car the day after it was declared totaled, but then her uncle’s medical.

conference had come up suddenly, forcing her to postpone her car-buying plans.

“Nana, up so early today?” Tory sat at the table, eating breakfast, with a curious look on his face.

Tory had been extremely busy these days, coming and going all the time. If Natalie hadn’t woken up early specifically to buy a car, she might not have seen him at all.

“Are you going to the lab to see that kid, Ryan?” he asked, his voice full of interest.

Natalie shook her head. “Today, I’m going to buy a car, not go to the lab.”

Upon hearing this, a clear disappointment flashed across Tory’s face. “I thought you were going to see Ryan.”

Natalie chuckled. “You seem more eager to see Ryan than I am. He’s always in the lab, so if you want to find

him, you can go anytime.”

Tory glanced behind him, where the nanny was

miss the delicious dishes Ryan used to make.”

Natalie raised an eyebrow and smiled mischievously.

She leaned closer to Tory, following her uncle’s playful manner. “Oh, so you’re implying that you find the food

cooked by the nanny I hired not tasty?”

Just as the words left her mouth, the nanny happened to bring Natalie’s plate.
