Chapter 661 Chatting Happily
Although Natalie was well aware that being a socially responsible company could help to bolster Dreamâs
image and build the companyâs brand, she still preferred to keep a low profile.
Indeed, Yandel was much better at socializing than her.
Remaining deep in thought, Natalie took a sip of her champagne and sighed.
However, right after she let out the sigh, a teasing voice suddenly sounded next to her.
âWhy are you sighing? Youâre gonna sigh away all your good luck!â
Natalie turned in the direction of the voice and saw the familiar face with a devilish expression on it.
âChristopher!â
âWhy are you here alone?â Christopher took a sip of his wine to mask his awkwardness. âWhereâs the
man who snatched you away? Is he not worried about leaving you here all by yourself?â
Even though Christopher sounded slightly snarky, Natalie was very certain of the manâs character. After
all, they had been through so much together.
âSamuel has to work. Heâs on a business trip,â she replied smilingly. âBesides, Iâm already a fully-grown
adult. Why would he worry about me? Donât forget, Iâm already a mother of four.â
Christopher knew that Samuel had Franklin and Sophia. As such, he couldnât help but sympathize with
Natalie for having to take on the role of the kidâs stepmother.
âNatalie, honestly, those two kids from the Bowers family are quite a handful, arenât they? What is it like
being their stepmother? Are you suffering?â
âHey, donât try to sow discord between us!â Natalie glared at Christopher before continuing, âWho told
you Iâm their stepmother? Franklin and Sophia came from my belly as well, and we are getting along
incredibly well.â
âWhat?â
Christopher could hardly believe his ears. He was so shocked that he almost spilled the wine in his
glass.
âDoes that mean⦠youâre the biological mother of the twins from the Bowers family too?â
âYes.â
âQuadruplets?â
âYeah. Do you have a problem with that?â
Christopher had previously concluded that Natalie had chosen Samuel over him because Samuel knew
her earlier than he did.
He had always thought that the couple had met each other at most three months earlier than he knew
Natalie. He did not expect them to have met way back, in fact, so far back that their kids were already so
grown up.
Christopher said with mixed feelings, âFour in one go⦠I wonder if you or Samuel should get the credit
for thatâ¦â
Although Natalie could tell that the man was jealous, she did not mind at all. âMr. Collins, why are you
acting jealous over that? After all, child-bearing ability is not the only thing Samuel is better than you at.â
âNatalie Nichols!â
âWhatâs up?â
âHavenât we decided to treat each other like family?â Christopher huffed, pretending to be angry. âIf you
were really my sister, youâll definitely drive me mad!â
âWell, arenât big brothers supposed to be bullied by their sisters?â Natalie winked cheekily.
âIf thatâs the case, Iâll definitely go crazy.â
Christopher and Natalie laughed heartily.
While the two of them were chatting happily, Shawn of the Watsons family spotted Natalie and
approached her.
âNatalie.â
âShawn! Itâs been a long time!â Natalie greeted the man warmly and asked, âHowâs Grandpa?â
âHeâs as healthy as a horse!â Shawn fixed a gentle gaze on her and continued, âHe was just complaining
to me recently that you havenât visited him in a while, saying that if you donât show up soon, he would
think of a way to meet you instead. He was even asking me how to do it in a way that doesnât seem too
intentional.â
âHe wonât have to worry about that if I visit him first.â Natalie chuckled.
âAll right. Iâm going to hold you to that. Youâd better visit him soon, Natalie.â
âI will.â
Shawn and Christopher had known each other previously through business dealings. However, with
Natalie around, the two men were talking about deeper topics and getting to know each other better.
They felt like they could empathize with each other and wished that they had known each other earlier.
Even though Natalie wasnât the most eye-catching person that night, with Shawn and Christopher
surrounding her, everyone started noticing her.
As for Yara, even though she was approached by numerous heirs of wealthy families, none of them were
at the caliber of Shawn or Christopher. The woman could feel anger building up inside her as her smile
grew stiff.
