The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1929: Chapter 1929: No Longer Worried and Hesitant

A few minutes later, he maintained the last bit of clear-headedness and slightly moved his lips away, whispering breathlessly: ”Nathalie, don’t make trouble.”

He’s not that genteel.

In the past, he had encountered some occasions where someone would arrange for girls who were either pure or alluring, and he always politely declined.

It was not until the person before him tilted her head slightly and came closer that he understood his previous composure was because that person wasn’t Nathalie Quinlan.

When it comes to her, the self-control he prided himself on was completely defeated.

Nathalie did not let go, and at this moment, her clear eyes looked at him, reflecting his silhouette: ”I’m very lazy, too lazy to want anyone other than one person, too lazy to start a new relationship again, so... you can wait for me a little longer.”

”...” Amadeus Yancey could only hear the sound of his own heartbeat.

Fast.

Steady.

Suddenly, he wasn’t that anxious anymore.

Nathalie took another deep breath and spoke softly again: ”I’m almost of legal age, just one year left.”

She was just one year away from turning 20. Previously, she didn’t care about this, but Amadeus cared. She had also considered this issue before.

”A year goes by quickly... it passes in the blink of an eye.” Nathalie pressed her lips together, lowered her eyes to look at him, pondered for a while, and then earnestly told him, ”I’ll be responsible.”

The earlier words had already stirred Amadeus Yancey’s eardrums, and it wasn’t until her last sentence that she seriously discussed the matter of ’responsibility’ with him.

He suddenly broke down, feeling like his anxious behavior was foolish, like a rookie, less mature than her.

The stone weighing on his heart disappeared. He tidied up the girl’s hair, sat back in his seat, regained his usual lazy nobility, and had the mood to joke with her: ”I remember you said you were already an adult.”

Nathalie wasn’t fazed at all, she raised her eyelids, hummed a response, and replied expressionlessly: ”I also remember someone told me I was still too young, and kept giving me milk every day.”

Because Amadeus Yancey warmed a glass of milk for her to drink every day.

She once suspected that ’too young’ in his words had another layer of meaning!

Amadeus was rendered speechless by her retort, he touched his nose, knowing he was in the wrong, restarted the car, and said to the girl: ”You’ve had a tiring day too, better head home first. I’ll drive slower, you can nap a bit on the way back.”

”Mm.” Nathalie picked up the duckbill cap he had taken off earlier, put it back on her head, and lowered the cap to cover her face, adjusted the seat backwards, and simply closed her eyes to rest.

Her lips were still a bit sore.

If she didn’t seize the time to rest now, when she got back to the residence, Sadam Vinson, that gossip enthusiast, would surely chase her with questions.

Might as well seize the time to sleep quickly.

Nathalie originally thought she wouldn’t be able to sleep since her sleep was generally light and she woke easily.

Who knew that during the journey, she wouldn’t be as restless as she imagined, but rather quickly fell into a light sleep and had a solid rest.

The next day.

Nathalie went to the research institute early.

She was the rookie admitted through this examination, and there were designated people to assist her with various procedures.

Very soon, Nathalie completed all the procedures.

Immediately afterwards, she was taken to a large laboratory.

There were quite a few people in the laboratory.

As soon as Nathalie appeared, the busy people stopped what they were doing and curiously looked towards the girl’s direction.
