Chapter 663 âSimply wait in the W Marks Studio first.â
Natalie was so dedicated to her job that she wouldnât even consider giving it up, even if she were to run away from home.
âAlright, Iâll leave now.Iâll track Mrs.Laronâs whereabouts after she finishes work in W Marks Studio.â
Sean was a smart man and picked up what his boss meant immediately.
However, when he was about to hang up, Brandonâs voice came through low and ominous.
âJust follow Natalie from a distance and confirm her location.If you encounter anyone from the White family, please avoid conflicts with them.â
Brandon didnât want to pressure Natalie excessively and thought it best to give her some time.
It would be better for her to return after the matter had been fully resolved, that was, after Vivianâs expulsion from the country.
âMr.Larson, based on what occurred yesterday, did you engage in a physical altercation with the Whites?â
Sean speculated about what might have occurred within the White family yesterday.
âFocus on your job responsibilities and refrain from asking too many questions.â
Sean was so terrified by the tone of Brandonâs voice that he promptly hung up the phone.
After the phone call, Brandon stood outside the door of their villa, feeling despondent.
As the cleaning lady opened the door and stepped outside, she noticed Brandon and quickly motioned towards her thigh while reporting, âSir, Mrs.Larson has left with her suitcase!â
âIâm aware.â
Brandon entered the villa and took a seat on the sofa.
Brandon glanced around at the furniture in the room.
Although Natalie didnât appear to have taken many items with her, he still felt a sense of emptiness in the house and couldnât shake off the lonely feeling.
As Natalie ascended the stairs of the W Marks Studio with her bulky suitcase, she started to regret packing so many unnecessary items in it.
Elizabeth turned around after hearing a gasp from behind her and noticed it was Natalie.
âMay I assist you with that? What made you decide to carry your suitcase to work? Are you going on a business trip?â
Natalie shook her head and remained silent.
She expressed gratitude towards Elizabeth for assisting her with the suitcase.
Afterward, she returned to her seat and started her day of work.
âNatalie seems strange today.â
Elizabeth scowled and muttered to herself.
Upon observing Natalieâs pale complexion, she approached her with concern.
âYou donât look well, Natalie.Whatâs wrong?â
Cup of coffee in hand, Elizabeth approached Natalie.Her knee caught the edge of Natalieâs suitcase.
âSorry,â Natalie said, quickly moving her suitcase.
She stared at the steaming coffee on the table, lost in thought.
Noticing that Natalie seemed strangely vacant, Elizabeth waved her hand and said, âWhatâs on your mind? You havenât heard a word Iâve said, have you?â
âIâm sorry.I just didnât sleep well last night.Donât worry.â
Natalie returned to her senses, smiled, and tried to concentrate on her work.
âWell, I should get back to work.â
Elizabeth looked at Natalie and then at the suitcase.
Shaking her head, she returned to her desk.
At dusk, when most of her colleagues had left, Natalie packed up her things.She didnât know where she should go, so she decided to find a hotel for the time being.
Elizabeth hadnât left.
When she saw Natalie struggling with the suitcase, she asked, âWould you like to stay at my auntâs place tonight, Natalie? She hasnât seen you for such a long time and keeps asking when youâll visit.â
Earlier, Elizabeth had spoken to Draco and established that Natalie wasnât due to go on a business trip.
Natalieâs reason for bringing a suitcase to the studio was not work related.
Had she quarreled with Brandon? Natalie liked Sophia, Elizabethâs aunt, but was still hesitant.
âBut arenât you going on a date?â
She had heard a car horn outside, and when she checked who it was, she saw Frank.
He must have come to collect Elizabeth for a date.
âIt doesnât matter.Itâs not an important date.â Elizabeth smiled.
Frank was making her angry recently.
Elizabeth thought she could use this opportunity to punish him.
Noticing that Natalie was still unsure, Elizabeth picked up her suitcase and said, âLetâs go.
You donât have to tell me what happened if you donât want to.
But weâre friends, okay? At least let me stay with you.â
âWhat about your date with Frank?â Natalie asked.
In an apologetic tone, she added, âI can stay in a hotel.â
Elizabeth grabbed her hand, and they went downstairs together.
âDonât worry.Frank will be fine about it.â
Frank saw the suitcase in Elizabethâs hand and was confused.
âWhy are you carrying a suitcase?â
Then he noticed Natalie behind her.
Frank looked around.He frowned and asked, âDidnât Brandon come to pick you up, Natalie?â
âDonât mention that name to me.â Natalieâs eyes darkened.
Frank understood.
Raising his eyebrows, he put the suitcase into the trunk.
âWhere are we going? Should we find a hotel for Natalie?â
âDrive us to Aunt Sophiaâs place.Sheâs been missing Natalie.â
Elizabeth got into the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt.
The light in Frankâs eyes dimmed.He avoided Natalieâs gaze and cautiously whispered in Elizabethâs ear.
âDidnât we agree to go to my place tonight?â
âIâve changed my mind.If you donât want to drive us, we can take a taxi.â
Frank didnât know what to say.Natalie tittered in the back seat.
âBut we agreed to watch a movie together,â
Frank grumbled before starting the engine.
On their way, Frank touched Elizabethâs shoulder and asked quietly, âDid Natalie quarrel with Brandon and run away from home?â
Elizabeth glanced at Natalie, concerned.
She tightened her lips and grabbed Frankâs hand.
âNatalie is struggling today.Donât ask why.Sheâll tell me when sheâs ready.â

They rang the doorbell twice, and Sophia opened the door.She was wearing an apron.
âNatalie, how wonderful to see you again.Elizabeth didnât tell me you were coming, or I would have made more food.â
Sophia smiled at Natalie, grasped her hand and led her into the apartment.
The room was filled with the aroma of home cooking, Looking at the dishes on the table, Natalie smiled, âThere are already plenty of dishes here.â
Sophiaâs smile brightened.
She noticed Natalieâs suitcase and said, âFeel free to stay here for as long as you want.Just think of this as your own home.â
Moved by her words, Natalie said, âThank you, Aunt Sophia.I might need to stay for a few days.â
Sophia was a wonderful cook.
The fish and roast chicken dishes were sensational.
Natalie forgot her troubles and focused on the delicious flavors.
âTry the lobster.Frank bought it when he heard Elizabeth likes seafood.He brought us mountains of the stuff.â
