Chapter 1690 Falling For Him All Over Again
“Well, there's nothing strange about that. He's a doctor, after all,” Natalie deliberately
said.
Joyce didn't notice anything odd in Natalie's tone and continued, “Of course, that's not
strange at all. What's strange is that when I was experiencing morning sickness, he not
only poured me water but also brought me ginger candies. Why does he have ginger
candies here?”
Natalie chuckled lightly.
What else could it be? It's specially prepared for you, Joyce.
However, Natalie didn't plan to say this outright, fearing it might scare Joyce.
“Maybe he just likes eating the candies himself,” Natalie said, feigning ignorance.
Joyce shook her head. “That's impossible. During the time I've been taking care of him, he
has never eaten any snacks. So, it can't be something he likes to eat.”
“Well, I have no idea then.” Natalie shrugged.
Joyce lowered her eyelids and said, “Actually, none of these things matter. I can just treat
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthem as his sudden whims, merely a fleeting interest. What I really find strange and can't
help but care about is the call he made two days ago.”
“What's the call about?” Natalie asked seriously.
Joyce shook her head. “I don't know who he's talking to, but they mentioned me.”
“They mentioned you?” Natalie was surprised.
Joyce hummed in response. “That day, I was on my way from home to the hospital and
happened to be outside his ward. I overheard him talking on the cell phone, and I heard
him tell the person on the other end that he had fallen in love with me.”
“Well, there's nothing strange about that. He's a doctor, after all,” Natalie deliberately
said.
At this point, Joyce suddenly let out a chuckle. “Nat, just listen to how ridiculous this
sentence is—he actually told someone that he loves me.”
Natalie could hear the mockery and sadness in Joyce's tone. Natalie opened her mouth,
seemingly wanting to say something. But in the end, Natalie said nothing at all.
Joyce didn't seem to mind Natalie's unusual behavior. After taking a deep breath, Joyce
continued, “Actually, I know those words were deceptive. It's impossible. After all, if he
truly loved me, how could he only realize it now, instead of falling in love with me long
ago?”
“So, Joyce, you didn't take it seriously, did you?” Natalie asked.
Joyce nodded, “Of course, I didn't take it seriously. How could I possibly take it seriously?
And how would I dare to? After all, I'm not a fool. I know what taking it seriously would
mean. So, I just assumed that he said those words to trick me again and take revenge on
the Rivers family.”
“Actually... Maybe it's not that bad,” Natalie said with a somewhat complicated expression.
Joyce didn't understand what Natalie meant, thinking that the latter was just telling her
not to overthink and scare herself. Joyce laughed and said, “Although I didn't take his
words seriously, he seemed to have taken them to heart. During this time, in order for me
to give birth safely, he arranged for my hospital stay and other things, even telling me not
to take care of him.”
“Did Stanley really do that?” Natalie exclaimed in surprise.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJoyce nodded, “He really did that. So during this time, I've been feeling uneasy and
restless. I know he can't possibly fall in love with me, and he might be doing this to set me
up in the future. But his acting is so convincing that I can't tell if he truly loves me or is
just playing with me. Anyway, he's been extremely attentive to me lately, and sometimes I
really think he loves me. So, Nat, do you know? I'm really scared.” Hearing that, Natalie
asked with concern, “What are you afraid of?”
Joyce bit her lower lip. After a moment, she finally spoke. “I'm afraid that if this continues,
I'll lose myself in his gentleness and fall in love with him again.”
Yes, that was right. His gentleness.
These days, Stanley's attitude and behavior toward Joyce could indeed be described as
gentle.
After all, Stanley seemed like a cold and indifferent person, not someone who would show
concern for Joyce. However, against all odds, he actually cared about her.
That was why Joyce said that during this period, he had been very gentle with her.
Even if this gentleness was fake, the actions of showing care for Joyce were genuine. Even
though these actions might contain hidden schemes, she could still truly feel the warmth
of being cared for.
