Chapter 889 Unable To Move On Part Three
Natalie followed Patricia and Daniel to the dining room.
A sumptuous meal was laid out on the table. However, there was no way the three of them could finish that much food. It was obvious to Natalie that Patricia had taken special efforts and prepared all that food just for her.
“Natalie, these are all your favorite dishes. Dig in!”
Natalie picked up her fork and started eating. Patricia’s home-cooked food had brought her back to her childhood days.
In the past, Patricia and Jennie would always research new recipes together and had similar cooking styles. As such, Natalie felt like she was tasting her own mother’s cooking while she ate.
“Are the dishes to your liking?”
“Yup!”
Natalie nodded before lowering her head and continued eating.
Patricia and Daniel exchanged a meaningful glance. They knew that Natalie was missing her mother and could not help but feel their hearts ache for her.
“Eat slowly. Since Jerome isn’t at home, no one’s going to take your food,” Patricia said with a smile. “If you like it, I’ll pack some food for you to bring home.”
“Thanks, Aunt Patricia.”
Realizing that she was eating too quickly, Natalie slowed down and started chatting with the two elders.
Patricia started asking Natalie about her experience in Chanaea, being aware that Natalie had left Loang and returned to Chanaea in order to avenge Jennie and herself.
As Natalie had always treated Patricia as her family, she briefly explained everything that happened to her and Daniel.
After listening to Natalie’s encounters, Patricia was in shock for a while before she regained her composure and said, “So it’s true that you’re not that bast*rd’s daughter…” The woman sighed.
“You already knew? Did my mother tell you?”
“Your mother didn’t tell me anything.” Patricia shook her head and continued, “It’s just my guess. Jennie did tell me that your father was a very good man, and she had never regretted having you and Yara. However, that bast*rd Thomas is definitely not a good man in any sense. That’s why I have always suspected that you might not be his daughter…”
Initially, Natalie had thought that everything had finally come to an end after she took her revenge.
However, it seemed like there were still many questions that needed answers, such as her family origins, including the mysterious organization, Blaze, that killed her granddad.
“Natalie, don’t be disheartened.”
“Huh?” Natalie looked up at Patricia.
“Even though I don’t know who your biological father is, there’s one thing I’m very sure of, which is that Jennie loves you very much.” Patricia cradled Natalie’s face and continued, “Your Uncle Daniel and I are always here for you. No matter who your father is, this would never change.”
“Aunt Patricia, Uncle Daniel…”
Tears welled up in Natalie’s eyes when she heard that.
Daniel cast a reprimanding glance at Patricia and said, “Look at you, you’re ruining Natalie’s good mood by being so sentimental.”
“How can you say that? I’m just speaking my heart, unlike you. I’m sure you share the exact same thoughts as me but couldn’t bring yourself to say it out loud!” Patricia glanced back at her husband before continuing, “It’s all because of that character of yours that resulted in us being separated for so long.”
“It’s not my fault!”
“Of course it is!”
“No, it’s not!”
“Yes, it’s all because of you!”
Watching Daniel and Patricia bicker like a pair of quarrelsome lovers in their teens, Natalie could not help but envy the love between them, and the overload of sweetness brought a smile to her face.
“Natalie, what are you smiling about?” Daniel asked curiously.
“Obviously she’s amused at how silly you are!” Patricia said, rolling her eyes at Daniel.
“No, no. It’s not that,” Natalie clarified at once, worried that Daniel might misunderstand. “I just find it really sweet that the two of you are so loving.”
At the mention of that, Patricia got excited. She looked at Natalie expectantly and asked, “Natalie, are you still single?”
Naturally, Natalie’s thoughts drifted to Samuel. However, the next moment, she remembered that he was currently in Greenview, happily spending time with Luna.
If that’s the case, I guess I’m single now?
With a smile on her face, Natalie replied, “Yup. I’m still single, Aunt Patricia.”
