Chapter 2245

On the second day in Chetvine, they bought the basics and picked up a used commuter car. Andrew felt like he'd scored a lot, and besides, he had made a tidy profit.

Natasha stared at the new hundred million and felt her head buzz. She asked, “Darling, where did this money come from?”

Andrew said bluntly, “Some idiot rear-ended my car and then paid me off. That’s how.”

Natasha could not believe it. “He rear-ended your used car and paid 100 million? Was he an idiot? Rich and stupid too?”

Andrew chuckled. “Exactly. Rich and stupid.”

Natasha looked at him suspiciously. “You’re laughing in a really scary way. You didn’t extort them, did you?”

Andrew’s eyes widened in mock offense. “Do you think your man is the kind of person who does bad things like that?”

Natasha giggled. “You are, through and through.”

Andrew clicked off the light with a snap. “Time for bed.”

Natasha quickly stripped off her outer clothes and pants. Then, she slipped naked under the covers and snuggled up against Andrew’s chest. “Honey, let’s get busy!” she whispered playfully.

“Get busy doing what?” Andrew asked with feigned innocence.

“You know what I mean… Let’s make some heat!” Her suggestive tone left no room for misinterpretation.

“Oh, now I get it!” Andrew grinned.

The next morning, bright and early, someone knocked loudly on the rickety door of their little shack.

Natasha begrudgingly got up and opened it. “Who is it?”

Sheena stood at the threshold with her arms folded and a cold look. “The sun’s already up and you’re still in bed?”

Natasha fought the urge to roll her eyes. “Okay, I’m getting up. Ma’am, do you need something?”

Sheena scoffed. “Ma’am? I think you’re actually older than me, right?”

Natasha grinned. “I am older by at least three years. But that doesn’t matter, since I’m Andrew’s woman.”

Sheena’s face hardened. “We’re both women, so don’t try to sweet-talk me. I could handle that lazy pig inside, so don’t think you’re safe. Get Andrew up and have him join the Lloyd family trainees for drills. And since you’re living here now, you’ll need to follow the rules and join too.”

Natasha wanted to refuse outright, but Sheena was so intimidating that she did not dare.

Just then, Andrew appeared at the door with a smile. “Morning, Sheena. Don’t worry, both Natasha and I will follow the training rules.”

Sheena turned to leave. “Good, as long as you understand. You know what’s wrong with your energy core, so I don’t need to remind you. If you can’t break through that final seal, you’ll have me to answer to.”

After Sheena left, Natasha fumed. “Who does she think she is? So bossy. If I had a perfect cousin like you, I’d smother him with love!”

Andrew shook his head. “Don’t say that. Sheena really cares about me. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have brought up my energy core situation on her own. Natasha, joining the Lloyd family morning training every day will be hugely beneficial for your martial arts progress. Having Sheena’s guidance is better than 99% of the masters out there.”

Natasha was not entirely convinced, but she would follow Andrew’s words without question.

After getting ready, Andrew headed out in his beat-up car. While driving, Aspen called him.

“Honey, I miss you so much! I don’t have much to do in Blumedale, so I want to come to Chetvine to see you. Is that okay?”

Andrew forced a laugh. “Of course, that’s fine. It’s not like I have anything inconvenient going on. It’s just that…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Aspen interrupted excitedly. “Thank you, honey, for letting me come keep you company. I’ll start packing right away. If I take a flight, I should be there today.”

“Bye for now!” The line went dead as she apparently rushed off to pack.

Andrew held the phone for a long moment, speechless. “Looks like I’ll be sandwiched between two women in one bed. The bed is wide enough, but having me in the middle seems a bit much!”

He actually started complaining, completely unaware that countless single guys around the world would be crying tears of envy.
