    Chapter 1754 I Dare Not Tell You


    After speaking, he pushed his sses up again.


    After hearing his words, the anticipation on Natalie''s face instantly froze, finally leaving her


    expressionless. “Why are you doing this too? What are you all hiding from me? What''s so good about


    keeping this from me?”


    She couldn''t understand.


    Stanley simply replied, “You''re still too naive and too innocent.”


    “What do you mean?” Natalie was taken aback, clearly not quite understanding his words.


    Stanley spread his hands. “You''ll understand what I mean, once you know what the gift is. Alright, I


    have to go now.”


    He gave the bag in his hand a slight lift.


    Natalie''s attention was naturally drawn by his actions.


    Her gaze fell on the bag in his hand, and she asked in surprise, “Are you going somewhere?”


    Stanley gave a hum of affirmation. “I''m going to handle some matters, and I''ll be back in the evening.


    Didn''t you arrange a wee dinner for me in the kitchen?”


    Natalie responded with a smile, “Yes, indeed.”


    “So how could I possibly miss out!”


    “You''re right.” Natalie flicked her hair behind her ear. “Alright then, just go now. I''ll arrange for the driver


    to drop you off. Make sure toe back early tonight.”


    “Alright.” Stanley didn''t reject her kindness, he nodded in agreement.


    Natalie took out her phone and sent a message to Dave.


    Soon, she received a reply from Dave.


    After reading the message, Natalie put away her phone and said to Stanley, “Dave is already outside.


    You can go now.”


    “Then I''m off. See you tonight.” Stanley waved his hand.


    Natalie responded with a smile.


    Stanley passed by her, carrying a bag as he headed downstairs.


    Natalie was standing in the corner, watching him.


    Even though she had already expressed her astonishment, Natalie couldn''t help but marvel once again


    at the tremendous change in Stanley.


    In the past, when he masqueraded as a gentle soul, it was hard to see his true, and crazy self. Yet, one


    could sense that he was hiding many things deep within his heart. After all, the eyes are the window to


    the soul, and they couldn''t hide the truth.


    Even though his gaze was gentle, there was a lot hidden in his eyes, making them far from clear.


    Especiallyter on, when hepletely discarded his disguise and returned to his true nature, his


    gentleness was gone. His eyes were filled with hatred and gloom, making others shudder at the sight.


    But now, the hatred and gloom in his eyes had vanished,pletely dissipated. In their ce, was a


    rity he had never possessed before.


    Yes, they were clear.


    His eyes were very clear, and although they were not as gentle as they used to be, one could feel that


    his thoughts were not as profound as before.


    His whole being seemed to lighten, the kind of ease thates with eptance, relief, and letting go.


    Even though he didn''t specify what he had let go of, or what he hade to terms with.


    But she could guess that he had let go of his hatred for the Rivers family and hade to terms with


    his parents'' death. The Rivers family was not the root cause of the disaster, they were just involved


    indirectly due to the butterfly effect, leading the murderer there unintentionally. They didn''t do it on


    purpose.


    He also understood that without the help of the Rivers family back then, his family wouldn''t have


    survived for an extended period. Instead, they would have been wiped out long ago, leaving no trace of


    his existence.


    The Rivers family were not the murderers of his parents, but rather, they were his benefactors.


    In the past, he had been stuck in his own convictions. Once he identified the Rivers family as the


    enemy responsible for his tragedy, he could no longer consider the past events from any other


    perspective. The death of his parents had turned into an obsession with nailing the Rivers family. A


    fixation that prevented him from moving on, from seeing beyond it. Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    That was why he blindly harbored resentment towards the Rivers family for over a decade. Despite his


    love for Joyce, he refused to ept this fact. Time and again, he pushed Joyce away, hurting her


    feelings. Then, on the other hand, he treated her as a substitute for Natalie, loving her instead.


    Because of that, he made many mistakes.


    Fortunately, these mistakes did not lead to serious consequences in the end.


    Otherwise, all parties involved including Stanley really wouldn''t know what to do.


    So she felt relieved now. Stanley, who was once blinded by hatred and unable to think clearly, had


    finally emerged from his resentment. He now understands just how absurd his mistakes have been


    over the past decade.
