Chapter 1046 Father Wants To Get Us A Stepmother
After Natalie’s departure, Geert returned to his study. The young lady looks exactly like the woman in the painting. Judging from her age, I think she must be the woman’s daughter. I can use her to find her mother’s whereabouts.
Geert couldn’t help but grow excited when he realized how useful Natalie was. To me, it’s just a painting of a woman. However, the woman in the painting is extremely important to the man. The Leitz family and I stand to lose nothing. I must help him find the woman!
Heidi and Helma noticed how overjoyed he was. Helma wrung her hands nervously. I’m already upset that Heidi suddenly moved into the house. I can’t accept Natalie if Father takes a liking to her when she is around my age!
Heidi took one look at Helma’s frown as the corner of her mouth quirked up. “Helma, did you see Father’s stare?”
Without waiting for Helma’s reply, she continued, “Father is usually reserved and polite, but he couldn’t keep his eyes off Ms. Nichols. Do you think Father is thinking of getting us a stepmother?”
Anger crossed Helma’s face. “Heidi, what are you talking about?”
“Helma, calm down! You know I’m not talking nonsense. I don’t think we should blame Father. It’s all Ms. Nichols’ fault.” Unlike Helma, Heidi didn’t give a hoot about Geert’s private life.
She said that on purpose so Helma would grow to despise Natalie. The more Helma hated Natalie, the better.
Heidi rested her chin on her palm and kept feeding the flames. “Helma, Father might not have a royal title, but he is treated like one in the royal family. If he’s a womanizer, we won’t be his only offspring. Besides, if my mother hadn’t saved him when he was exiled, she wouldn’t have given birth to me. Didn’t you notice how dazed he was? I’ve never seen him act that way. Ms. Nichols must be a vixen full of tricks as she managed to make Father fall for her easily.”
“Heidi!” Helma stopped her hastily.
“Did I say anything wrong, Helma?” Heidi sighed and shook her head. “Forget it. If you don’t like hearing this, I won’t mention it anymore. I’m full; I’m going to head upstairs now.”
Heidi stood up and sauntered away. Her words left a deep impression on Helma. Natalie is a vixen. After leaving the Leitz residence, Natalie headed to a shopping mall instead of going home.
It would be Yumi’s birthday soon.
Yumi wasn’t her biological child, but she had already adopted her and she treated her the same way she treated the other kids.
Natalie strolled around a shop and decided to buy a music box.
There was a purple bunny in the middle of the crystal ball inside the music box.
When the handle was turned, the crystal ball in the music box would turn. Snowflakes would fall on the little bunny as a Loang song about snow was played.
Yumi might be adopted in Chanaea, but she was a Loang national by blood.
Thinking that Yumi would love this music box, Natalie decided to buy it.
“Hello, please wrap this up for me.” Something occurred to Natalie, and she added, “I need a card to write my wishes, too.”
“Sure.”
Soon, Natalie took the wrapped present with her card and left the shopping mall.
She had barely taken a few steps when she heard two gunshots ringing in the air. Bang! Bang!
