Chapter 754 No Children
The three elders were once well-respected individuals. So, when they were asked to give a twenty-odd-year-old brat an apology, they were quite hesitant to do so. However, they did promise to do that, so they approached Natalie.
“All of us were certain that you were the culprit; we didn’t investigate the matter thoroughly and blindly trusted the rumors…”
“Thankfully, Mr. Samuel already predicted that. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been alive.”
“We’re sorry for saying those horrible things to you. It’s our mistake. I hope you’re willing to forgive us and let us off the hook.”
Seeing how the three of them went against her because they were also fooled by Yara, she declared seriously, “It’s exactly as you three said. I hope that, in the future, you’ll make more level-headed judgments. After all, accusing an innocent person can destroy their lives!”
The three elders were filled with shame when they heard that. They raised their heads and stared at her.
She had attractive features and looked beautiful. Although she was not the typical shy, delicate lady, she exuded an air of confidence and calmness.
Even though they had lived for more than seven decades and had very high self-esteem, they couldn’t help but feel inferior when compared to her.
After they left, Kenneth talked to Samuel and Natalie a little longer.
Kenneth couldn’t help but sigh. “Five years ago, I mistook Yara for you. I wanted nothing more than to pair her up with Samuel for the past five years. Even though he treated her coldly, I still treated her as my granddaughter and leave everything to her when I die. I never expected that under her sweet appearance was an ugly and venomous heart. The moment she couldn’t get what she wants, she was willing to use me as a tool to frame someone else.”
Even after two weeks had passed, he still hadn’t recovered from the pain of Yara’s betrayal.
After all, he didn’t know he mistook her for someone else and he genuinely loved her for five years. The sorrow and helplessness he felt when Yara, the person whom he treated as his own granddaughter, betrayed her was immense.
Samuel and Natalie exchanged a look silently.
Kenneth quickly realized what he said wasn’t something that would make the couple happy, so he changed the topic. “Samuel, regardless if it was five years ago or now, Natalie is still the one who saved me. Not only that, but she also gave birth to four adorable children. You need to take good care of her for your entire life. If I learned that you bullied her, I definitely won’t let it slide!”
Samuel hugged Natalie tightly. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. She can be the bully in our relationship. I definitely won’t bully her.”
Natalie felt a little uncomfortable that he was hugging her so tightly in front of an elder and elbowed him gently for him to let go.
However, he ignored her and didn’t budged.
Kenneth smiled when he saw the loving interaction. “All right, don’t get all lovey-dovey in front of me. You two can leave now.”
“Goodbye, Grandpa.” After Samuel bade his goodbye, he left with Natalie.
She let Billy take care of her vehicle.
Samuel left the place with her in one car. She lowered the window next to the passenger’s seat, allowing the breeze to enter the car and blow away all her worries.
Instead of bringing her back home, he brought her to a bubble house.
During the night, the transparent bubble house was so surreal that it looked like it was ripped out of a fairy tale. The shining orange light made it seem dream-like under the starry night.
She turned to him and asked, “Why did you bring me here?”
He hugged her from behind and wrapped his arm around her. “I thought you’ll like it. I always wanted to bring you here. Since we finally took care of some of the most problematic matters, I decided to bring you here.”
Natalie gazed upon the lake through the transparent glass. When she raised her head, she saw the darkened sky. It’s incredible that I can see such a beautiful view in the city.
“I really like it here.” There was hesitation on her face. “But… is it really okay that we leave the kids at home? How about I ask Gavin to bring them here?”
