Alexei changed clothes quickly, but he clung to Natasha, reluctant to leave.
Natasha, wearing a sky–blue gown, was held on his lap, slightly breathless, her eyes dazed, and her red lips glistening from being kissed.
“No more, we can’t face people like this later,” she said, poking his ‘big friend‘ with her finger.
Alexei grunted.
He also knew he couldn’t continue; otherwise, the clothes he had just changed into would have to be changed again.
But the thought of other men outside coveting Natasha left him feeling annoyed.
But unwilling to clarify things for his rivals, he could only sulk.
“Baby, do you love me the most?” he mumbled, nuzzling her neck like a spoiled child.
“Of course.” Natasha never hesitated to express her feelings.
Alexei kissed her. “So, shall we get married?”
Natasha stroked his ear, her eyebrows lifting slightly. “Why bring this up all of a sudden?”
Didn’t they agree to slowly enjoy every stage of their relationship and marriage? By current progress, they should be in the passionate phase of their relationship.
“You’re too popular, and I’m afraid someone will steal you away.” Alexei took her hand, carefully bit it lightly, then kissed it again.
Natasha fluttered at his small gestures, and she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Who could steal me away from you?” She hooked her arms around his neck, lightly bit his Adam’s apple, then gave a sweet kiss. She smiled. “But, if you want, we can do it.”

There was never a ‘best‘ time; there was only the time they both felt ready.
If Alexei wanted it, she thought they could get married.
Instead, Alexei, who first brought up the topic, fell silent. His hand touched her soft, fair cheek, and he couldn’t help but pinch it again. He smiled. “You’ll spoil
me.”
Indulging him like this would only make him want more.
“What will happen if you are spoiled?” Natasha asked him.
“I’d want to lock you up, so you are only for me. Your entire being would be infused with my essence, never separated for a moment. Even in death, we’d be together, our ashes mingling, indistinguishable, to be entangled again in the next life.”
There was no trace of fear on Natasha’s face; instead, her eyes sparkled even more. “Then we can celebrate our death anniversaries together.”
Alexei laughed aloud, lovingly nuzzling her cheek with his nose. “Baby.”
She was the best gift from heaven.
“Just one more kiss,” he said hoarsely, leaning close to her red lips like an addict.
It was soft, warm, and sweet; he craved to possess every inch, drawing out the hidden tongue to savor it, draining all her essence.
She was his poison and his antidote.
Natasha was so good, so lovely and delicate, a treasure he had to handle with
utmost care.
How could a madman wandering in the darkness ever give up this ray of light? The only way was for those who seek to destroy her to die,

By the time Alexei and Natasha returned to the main event, the engagement ceremony was nearing its end.

Alexei’s stern features relaxed slightly, while Natasha’s red lips appeared even more luscious.
Leonie stole two glances, then looked at Archer, who was also smiling, but with a hint of melancholy in his eyes. She sighed inwardly, confirming her suspicions.
But this ship shouldn’t be broken up.
She rallied her cousins to keep Archer firmly engaged with questions, determined to prevent him from speaking another word to Natasha.
Archer keenly sensed her intentions and was helpless.
However, he did not break free.
Leonie was wary, believing he might intervene, but only he knew he had always been merely an observer, both seven years ago and now.

Natasha seemed to be having a bad day with this venue.
Earlier, she had wine splashed on her, and Alexei blocked it. They had just separated when a clumsy child threw cake on her skirt.
She had no choice but to return to the lounge she had just left.
However, as soon as she pushed the door open, she noticed something unusual.
*****
Edgar was in a relatively good mood today. His beloved eldest grandson and his fiancée were a perfect match, and even the usually unpredictable Natasha was well–behaved all evening.
He cast a gratified glance at Alexei beside him.
His sons might not have been ambitious, but this generation of grandsons was quite impressive.
“When are you and Natasha going to marry?” he asked with a stern expression, as if mentioning it casually.

Alexei idly twirled the hair tie Natasha had casually put on his wrist when she was combing her hair. He looked at Edgar with a cold smile. “Are you very eager for Natasha to enter our family?”
Edgar glared at him. “I think you’re the one who’s eager.”
Alexei’s possessiveness over Natasha was blindingly obvious; Alexei wished he could engrave “Natasha’s Exclusive” on his forehead. Everyone in Andphis City knew they were an inseparable pair.
Their marriage was only a matter of time.
If they married sooner, she should be more dignified and steady, and would have to somewhat consider the Turner family’s reputation.
Edgar also harbored a secret hope. If they had a child sooner, they would have a soft spot, experience familial love, and perhaps be less harsh when dealing with
their relatives.
He sighed, thinking of his ruined second son, Dereck, and Teri, who was once arrogant and pampered but now utterly distraught because of the Westwood family’s affairs.
Alexei seemed to read his mind, chuckling nonchalantly. “Even if we marry, Natasha and I may not truly be part of the Turner family.”
