Chapter 352
Jared got the answer right once again.
He seemed to know exactly what Natasha liked, almost as if he had her tastes down to a science.
The host kept throwing out more questions, one after another, and Jared got every single one right.
After a few rounds, they were the top couple, no contest.
The host presented them with the Best Couple souvenir gifts.
It was a pair of matching keychains and some homemade snacks from the restaurant.

“These keychains are designed for couples. You can put each other’s photos inside and keep them with you wherever you go,” the host said with a smile. “Let me snap a photo of you two right here.”
Natasha was about to turn down the offer, but before she could get the words out, a staff member had already brought over a Polaroid camera, and the host snapped their photo on the spot.
The photo developed in no time.
The staff member cheerfully cut the photo to fit and tucked it into the keychain.
Each of them got their own.
Natasha got the men’s keychain, with Jared’s photo tucked inside.
Jared took the women’s keychain, with Natasha’s photo inside.
The other couples who participated also received a keepsake as a gift.
“Thanks for joining us tonight, and here’s to all you couples, may your love last forever!” the host said with a big smile.
Everyone laughed happily and applauded enthusiastically.
Only Natasha had a faint, bittersweet smile tugging at her lips.
She didn’t know if the other couples were meant to last forever, but she was sure she and Jared were not.
But in the end, it was just a game.
It was all about having fun and being part of it.
She knew there was no need to stress or overthink things.
Jared walked her back to their seats, holding her hand the whole way.
The women around Natasha cast admiring and congratulatory glances her way, as if she were the happiest woman in the world.
Natasha was honestly really touched deep down.
She figured she and Jared were still newly together.
She never imagined he’d already know her so well.
He even had all the tiny details down, like he’d memorized every little thing about her.

Jared caught Natasha staring at him.
He curled his lips into a teasing smile. “Why are you looking at me like that? Are you falling for me?”
“No,” Natasha said, flustered, and quickly looked away.
Her emotions were in turmoil, but she didn’t want Jared to notice.
So she grabbed for an excuse. “I’m going to the restroom,” she said.

Once in the restroom, Natasha splashed cold water on her face again and again, trying to calm herself down and regain her
composure.
Yet her mind kept replaying every moment of the game she’d shared with Jared back at the restaurant.
At every question from the host, he replied calmly and effortlessly, as if victory was already in his grasp.
It was like nothing about her could ever stump him.
‘How does he know me so well?’ Natasha wondered.
It was more than she ever expected.
‘Has he already looked into every detail about me?’ Natasha wondered.
He was so attentive, noticing every single detail about her.
Natasha was really stunned.
After washing her face, she went into a stall to use the restroom.
Suddenly, she heard the click of high heels outside the stall.
“Seriously, how did he get every single question right?” one woman muttered.
“That guy’s tall, handsome, and rich. He could have any girl he wants. Why would he be so obsessed with just one?” another whispered.
“He’s probably just playing around. Guys always like putting on a deeply affectionate act,” the first woman scoffed.
“But damn, that guy is seriously hot. Just looking at him makes me want to sleep with him,” the other woman said.
“Girl, as if he’d ever look your way,” the first woman scoffed.
“I’m totally going to ask him for his number later,” the other one said.
“I bet he won’t even give it to you!” the first one shot back.
The two women bickered as they walked away.
Natasha was sitting on the toilet in the stall.
She was a little surprised at first when she overheard their conversation, but she soon figured it out.
Everyone had thought the same way as she did. They believed an outstanding man like Jared could never pay much attention to her or know her well.
They all thought that even if he was dating her, it was probably just a game to him.

But Jared’s reaction totally caught everyone off guard.
Is he actually into me? Or is he just faking it?’ Natasha couldn’t stop herself from wondering.
That question kept nagging at her, refusing to let go.
She felt dazed, lost in a haze.
She came out of the restroom and walked back the way she’d come, ready to sit back down in her original seat.
But as she got closer, she realized there were now two women at their table, chatting with Jared.
She wondered if these were the same two women she’d overheard gossiping in the restroom.
One was rocking big, wavy curls and a dress with a plunging neckline, smoking hot and totally seductive.
The other had sleek, straight black hair and was dressed all classy, looking innocent and sweet.
They were total opposites, but both of them were utterly captivated by Jared.
Tonight, dressed in a tailored black handmade suit, Jared exuded an air of noble refinement.
He was clearly no ordinary man, naturally attracting bold women to get close to him.

Just thinking about Jared ending up with other women someday made Natasha’s chest tighten for reasons she couldn’t even explain.
But she had to face reality.
He never really belonged to her.
There would always be other women after her. He’d move on, sooner or later.
She couldn’t even picture Jared with another woman.
Lost in a daze, Natasha didn’t notice Jared had already stepped up to her. He reached out, pulled her into his arms, and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
Natasha took a deep breath, forcing herself to push down the mess of feelings inside.
“Nothing,” she said, acting as if nothing had happened.
Natasha lifted her gaze toward Jared, but the two who’d tried to flirt with him earlier had already disappeared without a
trace.
“What are you looking for?” Jared noticed her unusual movements and asked, raising an eyebrow.
“I…” Natasha began, but the words stuck in her throat.
She glanced around instinctively, only to see that the two women had not left yet.
They were still giving Jared sultry glances from not far away.
And it wasn’t just them. There were plenty of other women in the restaurant, all watching Jared with infatuated, longing
eyes.
After all, a guy who was handsome, rich, and genuinely devoted was practically a unicorn.
Every single one of them was showing their own kind of interest in Jared, some more obvious than others.

For the first time. Natasha truly realized just how irresistible Jared was to women.
Her heart felt all knotted up inside.

She knew Jared wasn’t a player, but with so many women eyeing him, she couldn’t help but get a little jealous and anxious.
Jared glanced in the direction Natasha was looking and quickly figured out what was bothering her.
He put his arm around her and led her back to their seat, then sat down.
“Just now, two women came over and asked for my contact info,” Jared said, sounding totally laid-back and not hiding a thing from her.
Natasha asked in a rush, “So, did you give them?”
Jared looked at her with a faint, knowing smile. “Do you want me to give it to them?”
Natasha rolled her eyes at him, a little annoyed. “You know the answer already.”
‘Seriously, what girlfriend would ever want her boyfriend handing out his number to other women?’ Natasha fumed to
herself.
Jared couldn’t help but smirk at her reaction.
“So, you do get jealous over me,” he teased, his voice low and playful.
Other women didn’t matter to Jared at all.
Natasha was the only one he cared about.
Seeing her get jealous over him secretly made him happy inside.
It was almost like making her jealous was something worth celebrating.
