Chapter 477 Soon afterwards, he placed a large plate of steaming fried eggs on the table.
âStart eating. Iâll bring the toast out.â
Then he returned to the kitchen.
Touched by how heâd decided to take care of her, Natalie happily sighed, picked up a fried egg into her plate, and ate it.
Moments later, Brandon placed the toast and b**ter in front of her and said, âI have something to tell you.â
Natalie raised her head while carefully taking a bite of her toast, and said, âGo ahead.â
âPrepare yourself.â
He paused.
âI think we should go to the charity party tonight.â
âDidnât you just turn it down yesterday?â Natalie asked, bemused.
Selecting his own fried egg with a fork, Brandon said, âI mulled it over some more. There have been so many rumors about us. People think our marriage has fallen apart. Ever since we got back together, we havenât even once appeared in public.â
âBut we hardly ever showed up in public even back then.â
Natalie didnât like turning their love into a big display for the crowds. lt was too ostentatious, and their love was for them and them alone, not for the entertainment of the public.
âAt the very least, they should know that you are still my wife, Mrs. larson.â
Brandon insisted.
The truth was that Brandon did want to make sure everyone knew that Natalie was his wife. He was tired of people thinking of her as Dracoâs girlfriend anymore.
After pondering over the situation for a while, Natalie sighed and said, âOkay. Anyway, Laney is going to be at the chanty dinner as well. Maybe we can meet up with her there.â
On the night of the charity dinner...
âHave you seen my dress?â
Natalie hadnât been to such a glamorous event for a long time, and a lot of her dresses were packed away.
âPut on this dress.â
Seeing that she was obviously nervous, Brandon smiled at her reassuringly and took out a box from the closet.
âWhatâs this?â
As a fashion designer, Natalie could tell from the outside of the box that the dress must have been tailor-made. lt also looked familiar. She was sure that she had seen this dress in a magazine a long time ago.
âThis is from my motherâs collection. The dress has been slightly altered. But if you donât like it, Iâll find you another one,â Brandon said breezily.
Surprise. Natalie responded quickly, âNo, Iâd love to wear it.â
Natalie wasnât only willing to try it on. She practically couldnât wait to get changed! The dressâ style was a bit old-fashioned, but the fabric was clearly high quality, made of the finest silk.
It was a striking dark green in color and looked like a vintage dream.
Natalie walked out in the dress and immediately began admiring herself in the mirror. She caressed the delicate fabric and sighed, âItâs beautiful.â
Brandon examined her carefully and murmured, âBut also, I think, a bit too simple.â
He turned to Sean and ordered, âGo bring us my motherâs jewelry.â
âNo. This event is for charity. We shouldnât be too dressed up.â
Natalie stopped him. She didnât want to be the center of attention for the evening.
Brandon considered her words for a while and then whispered a few of his own to Sean Natalie was unaware of Brandonâs conversation with Sean.
When Sean came back, he was carrying a red velvet box.
A beautiful diamond necklace with an intricate design was there when the box was opened.
The level of detail in the piece was astounding.
Natalie could not tear her eyes away from it.
âOkay, let me help you put it on.â
Brandon approached her and placed the necklace around her neck.
Natalie returned to herself.
âIs this a smart idea? I canât wear this to the charity dinner; itâs too flashy. People will undoubtedly gossip about me.â
Natalie reached out and felt the necklace, wondering how much it was worth.
âWhy canât my wife wear the necklace she wants to a dinner party after Iâve given so much money to charity? Just take it easy. Nobody would dream of talking trash about you behind your back.â
Brandon gently stroked her face.
The necklace accentuated her natural attractiveness and grace wonderfully.
Natalie pushed Brandon toward the door while uttering helplessly, âCome on! Get in the car. We wonât make it to the party in time if we donât get going now.â
Neon lights were blinking outside the window.
Just getting started, this cityâs nightlife was buzzing.
A black Bentley entered a tranquil estate.
After calling Laney four times in a row, Natalie still got no response. Her mind was racing because of it. She lifted her head and gazed into Brandonâs inquisitive eyes.
âI canât get through to Laney, she said anxiously. Somehow, she couldnât fight the bad feeling that was skyrocketing by the second.
âDonât fret. later, at the dinner, you will run into her.â
Brandon encircled her waist with his arms and murmured, âGarrett will watch her back. And donât discount Laneyâs abilities. Do you not remember what she used to do?â
In the darkness, the Bentley arrived at the mansion.
The door was opened for them by a valet.
Brandon took the lead in getting out of the automobile after buttoning up his suit.
âIs this a private estate? Honestly, itâs stunning.â
Natalie was attracted to the mansion because of its picturesque surroundings. She questioned what sort of person could possess such a house.
âThe estate is owned by a refined elderly lady. She has a passion for the fashion industry. Currently, she is in France. Thereâs no way sheâll be able to make it tonight.â
Brandon had a hazy recollection of the womanâs face. He had only met her once prior to her departure to France.
âFrance? Thatâs rather far away.â
Natalie felt it was unfortunate that she wouldnât be able to meet her. She cast her gaze about, hoping to spot Laney among the others there.
At that point, she realized that everyone around them was watching them.
A lot of famous people were clustered together in the throng, speaking in low tones.
âMr. larson is rumored to be divorced. Exactly what is going on here?â
âThe rumors donât appear to be true, apparently.â
âCould it be that they are still settling property disputes?â
âOh, shut up! She is staring at us.â
Natalie was amused by their words.
