“How did you know that I like Mr. Shane?” She stood up shockingly.
Joyce burst out laughing. “How do I know? You were shouting stuff like you wouldn’t be able to see Mr.
Shane anymore after you got drunk.”
“R-Really?” Natalie’s eyes widened in horror.
If that’s the case, she could have said the same thing to Shane last night so he might have found out
her feelings towards him?
God, drinking is really bad!
“Nat? Nat?” Joyce couldn’t help but shout twice since Natalie had been silent.
Natalie came back to her senses and sat down slowly. “Yes?”
“I was going to ask if you’re fine.” Joyce pouted.
Natalie rubbed her temples. “I’m fine.”
“It’s good you’re fine then. I’m going to hang up and go back to sleep now.” Joyce yawned once more.
Natalie nodded her head. “Alright, go and sleep.”
Natalie hung up and threw her phone to one side.
Yulia stepped out of the bathroom. “Baby Girl, accompany me shopping, how does that sound? I’d like
to buy some things to bring abroad.”“Alright”. Natalie replied while patting her own cheeks. She put away the boxes of medicine on the
coffee table and went back to her room.
Half an hour later, after she had applied the ointment and changed into a fresh set of clothes, she
headed out to the city center mall with Yulia.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookBeing a shopaholic, Yulia bought a lot of things in just a short while. Then she dragged Natalie into a
shop that sells branded bags.
“Baby Girl, what do you think of this?” Yulia showed Natalie a vegan leather clutch.
Natalie took a glance at it. “The clutch is not bad but it’s not suitable for daily use. It’s more suitable for
a banquet. Mom, don’t tell me you’re really attending some banquet?”
Yulia smiled and flicked her nose. “You’re right. There’s a charity gala tonight which is hosted by Mr.
Lanner. His wife heard that I was back and she specifically invited me to attend.”
“I see. This one then.” Natalie nodded.
“Alright, I’ll go settle the bill.” Yulia also like that bag; she decided to buy it instantly.
At that moment, a proud female voice echoed from the shop’s entrance. “Shop assistant, bring out your
newest collection of bags.”
“Who’s being so rude?” Yulia frowned and her face was filled with disgust.
Natalia squinted her eyes and looked towards the direction where the voice traveled from. “It’s Susan
and... Dad!”
Upon hearing that, Yulia’s body stiffened. The fingers around her clutch tightened instantaneously.Natalie patted her mother’s back lightly. “No worries Mom, I’m here. Let’s pretend we did not see them.
Let’s go and settle the bill.”
With her daughter’s encouragement, Yulia’s stiff back softened and she smiled. They went towards the
cashier.
Before they managed to proceed further, Susan shouted, “Oh, isn’t that Natalie? Darling, your daughter
is here too. What a coincidence.”
Natalie and Yulia stopped in their tracks.
Natalie smiled at Yulia. “Don’t worry Mom, let me handle them.”
After that, she turned around and stared coldly at Harrison and Susan. “It is a coincidence. I wasn’t
expecting to see both of you here. Dad, are you accompanying Susan to buy a bag?”
Harrison replied frigidly, “There’s a charity gala tonight. We came out to buy some jewelry for Susan.”
“Oh!” Natalie lifted her chin and said in a dragging manner. “Dad, you’re so good to Susan. You’d
accompany her shopping. I usually see some other man accompanying her everywhere in the past.”
“What are you babbling about?” Susan said in a sharp voice and her expression changed.
Harrison frowned and gave Susan a suspicious glare.
That stare had Susan shaking in her boots. Her guilty conscience almost betrayed her.
Natalie noticed that and smirked. “Susan, why are you getting so worked up for? The other man I was
referring to is your cousin. Who did you think it was?”Susan choked. After she had calmed down, she stared at her and said, “Why didn’t you just say so in
the first place!”
