Chapter 241
Murray's smile was captivating. It was the first tNatalie had seen him smile so charmingly, and he looked
incredibly handsome.
Natalie was momentarily stunned, thinking, 'He really knows how to make a woman lose her head.
Murray was just Natalie's type-a bit of a bad boy, but undeniably attractive.
He would make a good friend, but not a husband.
Natalie wondered who could possibly win Murray's heart.
Murray said cheerfully, "Natalie, even though we're camping on the island, we won't have to deal with all the
mosquitoes. We'll be sleeping on the cruise ship tonight. I've checked, and there's no high tide, expected, so
we'll be safe." Natalie thought, "This pampered guy couldn't handle any discomfort, so I'd better go along with
his plan.
Natalie said, "Let's go."
Once they boarded the ship, it sailed out to sea. The scenery was picturesque, and Natalie felt a serene calm
within her.
Whenever she felt down or exhausted before, Natalie would go to the seaside to sit and enjoy the scenic views.
Behind them, Easton's boat followed closely, but the group inside the cabin didn't notice.
The sea voyage would last two hours, so Tiana brought cards along for the journey.
The three individuals played cards together. Natalie, who had a fondness for card games, often played with her
three. brothers back on the island during their leisure evenings. Occasionally, they would deliberately let her win,
and they frequently bestowed her with numerous gifts or money.
Thinking about her brothers’ kindness, Natalie smiled.
Why hadn't she realized this before?
Sometimes, even within a family, so-called sibling relationships lacked genuine care and were instead
characterized by manipulation.
However, her three brothers truly cherished her the most.
Natalie sent a message in the chat group: [Hey guys, do you remember when we used to play cards together?]
After Natalie sent her message, both James and Gordon responded, wishing her a great tand each
transferring a substantial sum to her. Harley, however, opted to disregard her message. Natalie felt sad because

still wouldn't forgive her.
Murray dropped a bombshell, urging Natalie, "Con, Natalie. It's your turn."
Natalie glanced at her cards and said, "Pass."
Tiana nudged her, admonishing, "Natalie, focus! We're about to lose."
Natalie smiled a bit, glanced at the chat page again, but Harley still wouldn't reply to her.
Natalie was determined to keep trying until Harley forgave her. Since he had always been the most caring when
she was little, she was sure he eventually would forgive her.

Natalie looked down at her cards, having nothing to play, and said, "Pass."
Tiana cursed, "Pass? What the hell, it's springtime!"

Murray laughed so hard and exclaimed, "I won again! Who knew playing cards could be this fun? Playing on the
phone just doesn't beat the real thing." Natalie and Tiana glared at him.
Tiana glared at Murray, fuming, and said, "Mr. Spencer, you should know that guys need to let girls win
sometimes. Keep this up, and you'll never get a girlfriend." Murray was stunned.
He thought, 'Looks like Tiana can't handle losing.
'But why should | give in? I'm just too lucky today.
'Every hand | get is fantastic.
Natalie had already begun dealing the cards when Murray, as he laid out his hand, grinned broadly and declared,
"Ladies, it's not that I'nt preventing you from winning; it's just that my hand is exceptional. "Two jokers, three
aces, and three 2s! Could this be another flawless round?"
Natalie and Tiana suddenly turned to look at Murray.
Both of them grabbed his hand in an instant, giving it a feel.
The girls' hands were so soft that he blushed in embarrassment.
Murray looked at Natalie and Tiana, puzzled, and asked, "What are you two doing? Trying to take advantage of
me?"
Tiana excitedly took out her phone and said, "Mr. Spencer, | had to touch your hand for sluck. Now I'm off to
buy a couple of lottery tickets. Who knows, maybe I'll win the jackpot tomorrow." Natalie was doing exactly the
sthing.
Murray was utterly confused.
He glanced at his hand and hurriedly called his assistant.
He instructed, "Hey! Go to the Chambers Group right now and discuss the deal."
Natalie and Tiana were stunned.
Murray chuckled as he hung up the phone and said with a grin, I've got such good luck today, might as well try it
out."
Natalie laughed. After that, the three joked and bantered, feeling happy and relaxed.
Murray observed the two women before him, their laughter filled with joy, and it dawned on him that different
company could offer different forms of happiness.
When Murray hung out with his friends, all they did was drink and play cards, coming hdrunk every night.
Or, they went horse riding and archery, or even car racing.
But spending twith Natalie and Tiana felt completely different. Murray felt like there was a flow of positive
energy.

After disembarking the ship, the three of them marveled at the white sands, the crystal-clear waters, and the
vibrant corals below. Natalie was ecstatic and declared, "I definitely chose the right place. This is paradise!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTiana and Murray were equally excited. Despite Murray's wealth and accustomed life of luxury, he had never
experienced the simple pleasure of gathering food for himself.
He was extremely excited at that moment.
Natalie had already put on a wetsuit while on the cruise ship, her slim figure even more evident in the black suit.
Now, she was gripping a fishingand a 120-inch spear gun.
Murray walked over and said, "Natalie, | can't swim. How about go with you?"
Natalie donned her goggles and said, "Mr. Spencer, this isn't a game. Avoid causing trouble; it could be
dangerous. You and Tiana should stick to fishing here.
"I'll dive down to catch sgrouper and lobsters for us. Since you've even brought a chef, tonight's dinner is
sure to be excellent."
Natalie finished her words and jumped into the ocean.
Murray watched as Natalie swam freely like a mermaid, full of admiration and envy.
Tiana donned her sun protection suit and instructed Murray, "Mr. Spencer, fetch the fishing gear. I'm resolved to
catch either a red hind or a grouper today."
Suddenly, Murray pointed at a nearby boat and said, "Tiana, look over there!"
Tiana glanced over and noticed Easton standing at the bow, dressed in a white shirt, black pants, and
sunglasses. He exuded an air of nobility and authority, looking incredibly handsome. Tiana exclaimed, "Wow,
Easton is really dashing when he's not wearing a suit."
Murray's expression darkened, and he commented, "That pesky guy never leaves. What's he doing here? Think
he's the only one who can look cool? Well, I'm pretty cool too!" That was when Tiana remembered that Easton
was a jerk.
Tiana crossed her arms in anger and said, "He's definitely here to cause trouble."
She then looked at Murray, who was just wearing shorts, and said, "Mr. Spencer, you're outdone. Your face is still
good-looking, but those clothes? You've definitely lost." Murray was rendered speechless.
Tiana went on, "Hmph! Natalie's choice to leave Easton was spot on. People have been saying that Easton is
ruthless, always putting interests first. He's reputed to be the coldest and most heartless leader the Garcia
family has ever had." SEND GIFT
