Natalie couldnât believe what she was hearing. She had seen a figure on the rooftop, resembling Charis. It couldnât be a mere coincidence. There had to be someone behind the scenes trying to harm her. Perhaps it was connected to the constant harassment from Charisâs âghost.â
Determined, Natalie made up her mind to tell Brandon everything. However, before she could utter a word, his phone rang once again.
Brandonâs phone rang, and he answered it with a hint of annoyance. As soon as he heard the callerâs news, his anger flared up, causing him to abruptly stand up from the sofa.
âHow did this happen? Whereâs the technician on duty tonight?â Brandon exclaimed, frustration evident in his voice.
Natalie, who had been about to say something, hesitated. She could see that Brandon was overwhelmed with the responsibility of running the company alone. Garrett and Charis, the two senior executives, were no longer part of the Larson Group, and finding reliable replacements had proven difficult.
Realizing the weight on Brandonâs shoulders, Natalie decided to hold back her words. Concerned, she asked, âWhat happened?â
âItâs nothing for you to worry about. Iâve already asked the technician to handle it,â Brandon replied, trying to reassure her.
After hanging up the phone, Brandon let out a weary sigh. When he turned to look at Natalie, his exp**ssion softened, and he pulled her into his arms.
âDonât worry. Iâll investigate who did this, and Iâll assign more bodyguards to protect you,â Brandon assured her, his voice filled with determination.
Natalie sighed, finding solace in Brandonâs embrace. Being close to him made her feel safe and relaxed, despite the troubles they faced.
âDonât worry too much about this, okay? I have a feeling that whoever is behind this will strike again. In fact, I look forward to facing her,â Natalie said confidently. She believed she could handle any threat that came their way, even if it was Charisâs ghost seeking revenge. Natalie knew she hadnât done anything wrong, so there was nothing to fear.
Hearing her words, Brandon misunderstood Natalieâs intentions. He thought she didnât want bodyguards around her, preferring to maintain a low profile.
Cupping Natalieâs face gently, Brandon explained, âIf you feel suffocated by the bodyguards, Iâll tell them to keep their distance. They wonât follow you closely.â
Natalie remembered that the old Brandon had secretly hired Laney to protect her under the guise of being her friend. Brandon didnât want to repeat the same mistake and wanted to be transparent with Natalie now.

ï¤Chapter 1329 âItâs actually fine. Itâs not a big deal, really,â Natalie replied, shaking her head. âIâve realized that nothing is more important than being with you, safe and sound. Trust me, I will take responsibility for both myself and you.â
Brandon looked at her with newfound respect. âMy, my, youâve grown up so much,â he remarked, sighing softly as he gently stroked her hair.
Curious, Natalie pursed her l*ps and looked up at Brandon. He appeared unchanged, but she sensed something different about him. âWhat are you talking about? Iâm still the same person.â
âI just feel like you used to live a simple and carefree life before. Now, youâre burdened with so many things...â Brandonâs eyes reflected affection and sympathy.
âBut I promise you, Natalie, Iâll regain my memories. I donât want to miss anything about you. Youâre incredibly precious to me,â Brandon declared, his words causing a lump to form in Natalieâs throat. She smiled, tears glistening in her eyes.
Brandonâs sincerity touched her deeply. He rarely exp**ssed his feelings like this before, and Natalie hadnât realized how much he valued their relationship. Their bond had played a significant role in their personal growth.
However, Natalie knew that recovering Brandonâs memories wouldnât be easy, and she was afraid to hope too much. High expectations often led to greater disappointment.
To lighten the somber atmosphere, Natalie snorted sarcastically. âYou have no idea how foolish I used to be. I had a sister who constantly bullied me, and it took me a while to gather the courage to stand up to her.â
âReally? What happened?â Brandon asked, his eyes lighting up with intrigue.
As they sat together on the sofa, Natalie recounted her past experiences with the Quinn family, leading up to the moment she met Brandon.
Determined, she made up her mind to protect him and help him regain their lost memories.
