Chapter 1693 Substitute

Natalie knew how she felt at this moment.

After all, if she were in their shoes, she wouldn't feel good either.

Imagine someone who had never had a good attitude toward themselves, and then one

day, they suddenly said they've fallen in love with her. Naturally, the person being loved

would have mixed feelings.

“Joyce, please calm down, alright? Let me explain everything to you carefully.” Natalie

rubbed her temples and tried to soothe her.

Joyce took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. “Alright, you speak, and I'll listen.”

“Actually, I really didn't lie to you. Stanley truly loves you. When I found out, I couldn't

believe it either, but that's the truth. I know that the Stanley you know from us has not

been good to you, so when you hear him say he loves you now, it's natural for you to think

it's impossible and feel a mix of emotions. Honestly, when I found out, I have mixed

feelings, too.”

“When did you find out? And how can you be sure that he...” Joyce bit her lip, seemingly

finding it difficult to speak.

But after a moment, she took a deep breath and said the words that followed, “He loves

me?”

“I didn't know for long either, just about half a month at most,” Natalie's lips twitched, and

then she continued, “I didn't know it at first, and I even thought that Stanley was in love

with me.”

“You?” Joyce's eyes widened, surprised by these words.

Natalie knew that she had no memories of her past with Stanley, so naturally, she was

unaware of his previous feelings for her.

Natalie knew how she felt at this moment.

After all, if she were in their shoes, she wouldn't feel good either.

No wonder they were surprised.

“Yes, it's me,” Natalie said awkwardly, nodding her head. “But rather than saying Stanley

loves me, it's more accurate to say that he sees me as your substitute.”

“S-Substitute?” Joyce's mouth twitched, once again astonished.

“How could you be my substitute?” She didn't understand and couldn't comprehend.

Natalie smiled and said, “Indeed, I'm your substitute. Stanley had always thought that the

person he loved was me, but it wasn't. The person he has always loved is you. It's just that

he couldn't distinguish it himself and couldn't see through it.”

The more she listened, the more confused Joyce became. She furrowed her brows and

said, “Nat, stop teasing me. I've read about body doubles before. A body double should be

two people who look alike, so that one can replace the other. But you and I don't look alike

at all. You're so beautiful, and although I'm quite pretty too, I'm nowhere near as stunning

as you. So how could you be my body double? Stanley must need to get his eyes

checked.”

Natalie couldn't help but laugh at her words, “When I mentioned a substitute, I wasn't

referring to someone who looks similar, but rather someone with a similar personality.”

“Personality?” Joyce raised her eyebrows, vaguely guessing something in his heart.

Natalie nodded, “Yes, personality. I don't know if you still remember your own personality

from before, but in short, my past personality was very similar to yours. That's why I said

Stanley treated me as your substitute, and the person he has always loved is you.”

“So that's how it is.” Joyce lowered her eyelids.

Natalie continued, “Stanley is a person whose character tends to be extreme. In the past,

he always believed that the Rivers family was responsible for his parents' death, so he

harbored resentment towards the Rivers family and you. As a result, he couldn't see

through his own heart and didn't realize that the person he loved was you. My past

personality was very similar to yours, and since I'm not you, he subconsciously gravitated

toward me, thinking I was the one he liked. But in reality, the person he truly wanted to be

close to was you. He just didn't understand his own feelings.”

“I understand.” Joyce bit her lip.

Upon hearing Natalie's words, she had already understood everything.

Throughout his life, the person Stanley Quinn had always loved, or rather, the one he had

loved from beginning to end, was her.

It was only because of his hatred that he didn't realize he loved her, even going so far as

to hurt her.

“Why not sooner?” Joyce suddenly murmured.

Natalie blinked in confusion, “Joyce, what did you say?”
