Chapter 744
Chapter 744 I Know Them All
Renee was Phineus'' daughter. She had fallen in love with Landon when she was neen, and Landon
had just gone through his divorce at the time. He didn''t have any children, but he was still older than
her by at least two decades.
Phineus didn''t want to interfere with his daughter''s love life, but he especially didn''t want her to marry
some businessman who was so much older than she was.
However, Renee was so intent on marrying him that Phineus disowned her.
That was also why Renee had never gone back to the Zeigler family. Not many outsiders knew of the
rtionship between Landon''s wife and the Zeigler family.
Landon had never disappointed Renee either and had been wholly faithful to her since day one.
Renee gave birth rather young and she had always been pampered by Landon. Therefore, she had
nothing to worry about and her skin was still fair and plump. She even looked like a young woman, and
no one could really tell that she was already over thirty.
Cooper smiled at Renee. “You look so young, Mrs. Lebon. You look like you could be the same age as
my sister.”
“Oh, stop joking! She''s only twenty or so, right? I''m already thirty-six,” Renee said wryly, but the bright
smile on her face said otherwise.
Nathalia had been ying with her phone the moment she walked in.
As they spoke, Cooper sneakily baited some answers out of Renee, but he was disappointed.
Jermaine had never brought Genevieve up to Renee. As for Landon, he used to be a shareholder of
Central Group and recognized Genevieve, so he had talked about Genevieve to Renee a couple of
times.
Cooper wondered why Jermaine wanted him to bring Genevieve over to the Lebon family mansion.
Renee looked at Nathalia''s elegant side profile and turned to look at her husband as if she wanted to
say something, but since Cooper was still there, she fell silent.
They continued chatting idly when Yuvan arrived.
“Hi, Renee.”
“Yuvan! You''re here,” Renee hurriedly greeted as she stood up to meet him.
Renee had been on good terms with her siblings since she was a child. Despite having been disowned
by her father, she still remained as close as ever with her siblings.
Whenever Yuvan was in Jadeborough, he woulde to visit his sister.

“This painting arrived at my gallery this morning. I''m pretty free today so I decided to send it over.”
Yuvan ced the painting by the wall.
“We''re having roast duck today. You should stay for lunch,” Renee said as she took off his coat for him
and hung it up. “We have some guests today. Let me introduce you.”
As Renee spoke, Yuvan had already caught sight of the familiar faces in the living room. “No need for
that. I know them.”
Renee paused in surprise. “You do?”
“Hello, Mr. Zeigler,” Cooper greeted with a helpless smile. “I recall saying I would treat you to a meal
when you''re free, but I didn''t expect us to meet at your sister''s house today.”
If Yuvan hadn''t visited, Cooper probably wouldn''t have remembered that he was even rted to
Renee.
“No worries. There''s no rush. We can have the meal some other time,” Yuvan replied politely as he
nced at the living room only to see Nathalia on the couch staring at her phone.
Renee took the painting out from its stic wrap and wanted to hang it in the living room.
Yuvan volunteered to help since he had nothing else to do.
Nathalia was beginning to feel bored and walked outside with her phone in hand. “I''m going out for a
walk,” she informed.
After hanging up the painting for his sister, Yuvan went to wash his hands. Instead of returning to the
living room, however, he walked out.
Cooper saw him and narrowed his eyes.
Yuvan looked around and finally found Nathalia sitting on the hanging chair in the garden. She would
asionally bounce the tips of her toes against the ground so that the chair would swing back and
forth lightly, all the while keeping her eyes on her phone.
After hesitating for a moment, he walked over and stood in front of her.
“Hello, Ms. Rachford.”
He thought Nathalia was just another pretty girl who had somehow inspired him that one time. After
Herbert''s birthday party, he decided not to use her as his model since she didn''t particrly move him.
However, her outfit from yesterday at the police station had struck his heart like lightning.
Chapter 743 It Had Been A While
The only light that was on was the feeble glow of the wallmp. Since Nathalia hadn''t had any clothes
that she could change into, she had fallen asleep with just a towel around her. After tossing and turning
around in her sleep, the towel had unwrapped itself and was barely hanging on her torso and hips.
She was curled up in a deep sleep. Her pitch ck hair and pale skin were unknowingly seducing
Armand.
Armand could feel his Adam''s apple bob lightly in his throat at the sight. Then, once he remembered
that she was sleeping naked in someone else''s house without even locking the door, a sudden onset of
rage fired up in him.
She had never slept naked anywhere else apart from when she was with him.
He took a deep breath and repressed his anger. Then, he walked out of the room and dug through his
bag to find a shirt to put over her.
She was sound asleep and Armand could effortlessly slip her arms into the shirt''s sleeves.
She had showered, so the strong perfume scent that had been radiating off of her at first had been
exchanged with the delectable scent of cocoa butter and hazelnuts. She smelled like a delicious
dessert and her skin was both fragrant and smooth to the touch.
Armand''s nce swept onto her pale neck and he couldn''t help but nt a quick kiss on the snowy
flesh.
He hadn''t touched her in a long time.
After realizing that, the desire that Armand had been suppressing began growing uncontrobly from a
young sapling to a robust tree. He was no longer satisfied with just a couple of pecks here and there.
Instead, he leaned closer and kissed her on the lips.
She frowned in her slumber and opened her mouth subconsciously, allowing him to savor her lips.
Right before hisst strand of logic snapped, he forced himself to pull away and leaned his head
against her shoulder as he panted.
If she had woken up halfway, he would''ve been scarred for life.
Armand caressed her face gently as he murmured, “Darling?”
She remained silent.
Armand thought about that casual movement that Nathalia had made just now in the living room and
couldn''t stop his thoughts from running wild.
Could it be?
After a long time, he pecked her lightly on the lips and whispered, “I hope you''ll be back tomorrow. I
miss you so much.”

Nathalia saw two sets of clothesid out neatly on the chair for her when she woke up.
She picked a nice dress and walked out to see the dining table covered with a hefty breakfast spread
that Cooper was already enjoying. She quickly walked over and picked up a mini pie with one hand,
tossing it into her mouth.
Armand walked out with some oatmeal and sighed when he saw Nathalia.
So it''s still her.
“I don''t want this. It looks like vomit,” Nathalia pushed the oatmeal away with a disdainful expression.
“Go get me some soy milk.”
Cooper looked at the oatmeal in front of him and lost his appetite.
After breakfast, Cooper left with Nathalia.
She began firing questions at him. “Hey, if you don''t have a thing going on with Armand, then why''s he
in your house and making breakfast for you?”
“Just because,” Cooper said bluntly with no expression on his face.
“Sure.” Nathalia shrugged.
Cooper''s only requirement for cars was that they werefortable and looked good. While the cars
parked in the garage were all branded, they were stillmercial models. Nathalia, who wanted to feel
like a celebrity on the road, was hugely disappointed.
On the way to the Lebon family mansion, she bombarded Cooper with more questions. “When are you
going to get that sports car?”
Cooper was starting to get a headache from her incessant chattering and decided to make a call to
cate her. After the call, he finally replied, “It''s on the way. It''ll probably only reach the day after
tomorrow.”
“Why''s it taking so long?” Nathalia grumbled.
Cooper had already called Landonst night.
Thetter was overjoyed at the news of their visit and even personally greeted both of them.
After getting out of the car, Cooper shook Landon''s hand. “Sorry for the bother.”
“It''s no bother at all!” Landon said with a bright smile. “I''ve always wanted to chat with you, Mr. Sutton,
but you''re so busy. It''s a good chance to get to know you today.”
Landon then looked at Nathalia, who had gotten out of the car, and thought she looked slightly different
from before.
Still, he didn''t ask and led both of them into the house.
The three of them sat down in the living room. After a few minutes, his wife walked out with some hot
coffee for all of them.
