Chapter 694 âPut me down. Hannah is at home.â Natalie felt shy. She covered her flushed face after two futile attempts.
After placing her on the sofa. Brandon glanced at the sizzling dishes on the table. âIt seems like Hannah isnât at home.â
âHow is this even possible? The dishes on the table are ready. As soon as I smell them. I can tell theyâve been prepared by her.â Natalie rushed into the kitchen with a bright smile after tidying up her messy hair to look for her. âHannah is not outgoing since she dislikes talking to strangers.â
Brandon smiled and remained silent He handed a letter on the table to her and said, âThereâs a letter here. She seems to have left it for you.â
Natalie peeked her head out, holding the door frame. She had looked in the kitchen and the living room and hadnât found Hannah She looked at the letter, pursed her lips, and moved closer. It was indeed Hannahâs handwritingâ âNatalie, Iâve decided to return to the village. The pumpkins at home are almost ripe. I have to go back and collect them. I had a great time at your house. You donât need to always worry about me. You have to take care of yourself. Please help me finish my new clothes. Then send them over so I can wear them. When people grow old, they prefer to return to their homeland. Itâs great that you want me to move here and stay with you, but Iâm still not used to living in a big city. Iâm going back. Take care and donât overwork yourself. Youâre welcome to visit me whenever you have the time.â
Natalie frowned as she read the last sentence, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Hannah wished she could be confident and happy all of the time. In her eyes, she regarded Natalie as a child who would never grow up.
Brandon had never been a talkative person, and he was at a loss for words of comfort at the moment.
Natalieâs bright eyes were welling up with tears, making her look pitiful.
She pursed her lips, neatly folded the letter, and put it away. âSheâs only been here for a short while, but she canât wait to leave. I still havenât caught up with her.â
âNatalie? Brandon massaged her head, smiling bitterly. He had never seen such a miserable expression on her face.
The atmosphere in the room was quite gloomy. He held Natalieâs shoulder and drew her a chair to sit on. He took out a few tissues and handed them to her. âDonât worry. Iâve already sent someone to repair Hannahâs house in the village, and Iâve struck an agreement with her neighbors. Once a month, I will send them some money and they will look after her for us. They will always receive payment as long as Hannah is healthy and alive.â
Natalie inhaled and stared at him, holding a tissue in her hand âYouâve done a lot of things behind my back. Iâm not even aware of it.â
Brandon said with a smile, âIâm your husband. Of course, I have io do it for you.â
He placed the plate and fork in front of her and said, âWipe your tears. Letâs have dinner first. Hannah cooked all the dishes. We canât let her efforts go to waste.â
On the first night after Hannah went back, Natalie didnât sleep very well. She woke up in the middle of the night several times, and couldnât remember when she actually fell asleep. The next morning, Elizabethâs repeated calls woke her up. âDonât forget you have something important to do today!
Donât be late!â
This immediately served as a reminder to Natalie. She then quickly got ready and headed to the studio. As soon as she walked in, she heard a lot of her coworker stalking excitedly. âI heard that Tasha gave birth to a boy.â
âItâs such a shame that Iâve already given her so many girlâs toys It looks like she wonât be needing them anytime soon.â
âDo you have any photos of the baby? Tasha is such a gentle soul. Iâm sure the baby will be just like her.â
Then, with a smile on her face and her phone in hand, Natalie walked in and said, âI have some photos. I asked Tasha for a few on my way here.â
The crowd of rushed over in excitement.
Elizabeth simply couldnât contain her curiosity. She craned her neck and said. âCome on, Natalie. Donât keep us in suspense Let us have a look!â
Natalie then surrendered her phone to them. They were all instantly captivated by how cute the baby was Upon studying the pictures carefully, they noticed that he still had some wrinkles on his forehead, which gave him a serious expression. They couldnât help but laugh.
âThis kid looks a lot like Tasha. I wonder who he got this serious look from.â
âHis father, of course.â Elizabeth beamed with smiles as she scrolled through the pictures.
The smile on Natalieâs face, however, faded slightly It suddenly occurred to her that the childâs father, Seth, was still in prison Seth had treated Tasha terribly. Fortunately for her, they got a divorce, and she parted ways with the Klein family. She and the baby would go on to live a happy life together.
Natalie made sure not to bring him up to sour the prevailing good mood. On a whim, she suddenly made a suggestion. âI heard that Tashaâs back home now. How about we go pay her a visit during our lunch break?â
âThat sounds good. We have a long lunch break, so we can go see how sheâs doing.â Many of her coworkers thought it was a good idea.
After this, some precise footsteps were heard from the direction of the door. Mandy strode in arrogantly and said, âIt looks like youâre all idling about.
Whatâs the topic of discussion this early morning?â
The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband ï¤Chatper 693 The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)
ï¤Chapter 1329 Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ï¤Chapter 1187 âItâs personal and none of your business.â Natalie took her phone back and sat down in her chair.
Mandy walked up to her with her brightly colored red lips twisted to one side She looked around at everyone present and scoffed, âWell, since itâs a personal issue, donât bring it up here in the workplace. Donât distract your colleagues just because youâre going to be an indie designer soon and donât have to focus on the studio anymore. Draco wonât be coming in today, so heâs asked me to supervise. Now, everyone get back to work!â
They were all left speechless as they quietly returned to their desks.
In no time, it was lunch break, and they all packed their bags and got ready to leave.
Mandy then walked in, twisting her slim waist with every step. âWhatâs going on? Why are all the computers off? Is the power out?â
Natalie stood up, gave her a cold look and said, âItâs almost lunchtime. Whatever weâre off to do doesnât concern you.â
As this exchange was ongoing, Elizabeth grabbed her handbag and stood up. âItâs a private matter, and we donât exactly have a close enough relationship with you to tell you all about it, Mandy.â
With that, the two of them and many of their coworkers left the studio, with Mandyâs eyes trailing them.
âYou... Youâre being very disrespectful!â Mandy wagged a finger at them as they trooped out. with her finger trembling out of anger. She gritted her teeth and eventually looked away. They must be up to something.
Wasnât Natalie going to open up a studio of her own? Did she plan on poaching the employees here?
Mandy suddenly had an idea. She quickly dashed to her car and managed to catch up with them.
