The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 639

However, Derek did not enter the vehicle with Wilder. Finally, he walked away. He didn’t bring an umbrella, so he got soaked in the rain.

Gilda happened to have an extra umbrella, and she was a kind-hearted person. She quickly reached Derek out in the storm and gave him the umbrella.

“So that’s how we first met. Derek seemed dejected at the moment, but as our friendship grew, I learned that he was really a pretty jovial guy.” Gilda lowered her chin and grinned sheepishly.

Natalie pieced everything together and realized that Brandon was injured and sent to the hospital on the same day that Gilda met Derek.

Natalie was worried about Brandon at the moment and paid no attention to anybody else around her. Both Derek and she had close calls that day. They were able to escape a collision because of Derek’s brother, but she didn’t even exp**ss gratitude as she only had eyes for Brandon. At that point, Derek should have been very sad.

In the middle of their conversation, Derek rudely burst out of the room.

“It’s time to go, Gilda.”

His demeanor suggested he was fuming.

Natalie approached him and said, “What happened? Did you have an argument with Brandon inside?”

“Not really. I’m just leaving with my girlfriend.” Derek took a single step before turning around and murmuring to Natalie, “Brandon is a sly one. My best judgment is that he’s just feigning illness because he wants you to nurse him for a few more days. Do not fall for that!”

Natalie sighed helplessly and said, “Don’t worry. I understand what has to be done.”

In dismay, Derek cast a gaze in her direction. Natalie was so blindly in love! He bade Natalie farewell before leaving with Gilda.
