Chapter 132
Before Brian came back, Davis had asked Nate if he missed Gracia and even had him video call her. Later, Gracia spoke seriously with Davis in private, making sure Brian couldnât overhear.
Nate was aware of Davisâs fondness for Gracia, but he simply couldnât bring himself to like her.
It wasnât that Gracia was mean to him. She had never scolded him. But when they were alone, she would look at him with such a strange expression that sometimes Nate felt a chill down.
his spine.
These ladies around the house were all a bit odd. Only Natalie was kind to him, cared for him, liked him, and stood up for him.
And earlier, when Davis was playing mini toy cars with him, he asked Nate some odd questions. Davis had inquired if Nate would miss his family if, in a few years, he went to a boarding school where he would come home only once a week.
was a bit
Apart from Sadie and Brian, Nate didnât like anyone in the Howard family. In fact, he afraid of them. In Brianâs absence, Nate rarely spoke and didnât wish to engage with people he didnât care for. So it wasnât just about a week. Even if he didnât see them for half a year or a year, Nate wouldnât miss them.
But why did they want to send him to a boarding school? Wasnât he wellâbehaved? Had he upset Davis in some way?
Sighing. Nate couldnât help but feel troubled by the thought.
Nearby, Sadie glanced at him and whispered, âNate, are you feeling down?â
Nate pouted and nodded slightly.
Sadie had been listening all along, and now she bravely spoke up, âNate, if you donât want to go. to the place Davis mentioned, just tell your dad. He would never want you to go there. And⦠you can also talk to Natalie. Sheâll know what to do.â
Nate raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, âNatalie has a way?*
Sadie wasnât sure, but no loving parent would want their child to live at a boarding school at such a young age. If Natalie knew, she would find a solution.
Even if it meant fighting the Howard family for custody, it would be better than leaving Nate with the future Mrs. Howard and the rest of the Howard family who might bully and ostracize him.
Sadie could tell that Gracia didnât care for Nate, so Sadie felt they had to find a way to save Nate.
âDonât tell anyone it was Sadie who told you this, okay?â she said softly, embracing Nate and making a pinky promise with him.
In the next room over. Davis pulled an envelope from his pocket and slammed it on the table in front of Brian, saying sternly, âTake a good look at this!â
âA daughter raised by Audrey, Indeed, stands out.â
Brian looked at the photos that fell from the envelope, furrowing his brow in silence.
âDo you know what Rosie called Natalle today in front of everyone? Auntie! Rosie is Michaelâs niece and only has one uncle! Natalieâs playing stepmom! No wonder Gavin is so protective of her. Theyâre practically family now! If Gracia hadnât happened to be at that company and seen. the news department working on that story to trend it, you would be seeing this on the internet right now!â
Davis was agitated, but Brian just stared at the photos inside the envelope, his face cold and silent.
âWhat sort of mess is this?! A twentyâtwoâyearâold girl getting married to a fiftyâyearâold man, Nathan should be ashamed to have such a shameless mother!â Davis continued. âIf she had any consideration for Nathan, she wouldnât have taken it this far! And youâre still deluded that she might come back to you! Wake up!â
