Brandon took off his coat and put it across Natalie’s shoulder. The temperature varied greatly between day and night at the seaside. He turned off the AC in the car and said, “You don’t need to overthink about what happened today. You are my wife and will be the mother of my children. Also, you are going to be an excellent designer.”
He put his hand on her lap and said, “You can always be yourself, I’ve got you.”
After hearing what he said, a smile appeared on Natalie’s face. She leaned against the passenger seat with Brandon’s drawing in her arms.
Soon, the two of them arrived home. Natalie had fallen asleep in the passenger seat. Brandon smiled as he looked at her sleeping soundly and gently carried her back into the bedroom. Just then, a call arrived from Sean.
He went out and closed the door behind him before answering the call.
“How is the investigation going?” asked Brandon.
Sean was a trustworthy and skillful man. He had found the information Brandon needed within hours. “The Turner family had adopted a girl after Chairs died. I’ve found her name, she’s called Vivian Cooper.”
It was hard to tell what Brandon was thinking.
Seeing that there was no reply from Brandon, Sean continued, “Vivian is having a job interview at the Larson Group soon. Do you need me to do anything about it?”
“There is no need to alert the enemy.” Brandon sneered, “I’ll see what she’s up to myself.”
Soon the weekend was over and it was Monday morning again.
Natalie groaned. She didn’t want to get up. It wasn’t as if she didn’t feel well; she just didn’t want to get out of bed. “Honey, you’re going to be late.” Brandon put his suit on and stood by the bed as he called her.
His tall back blocked the dazzling light from the window. “If you’re tired, you can ask for a leave and have a day off,” he said, gently kissing her cheek.
Natalie pouted and hugged him. “But I still have work to do. I can’t afford to take the day off.”
Estella’s dresses still hadn’t been made yet, so she had to go to the tailor to work on it.
The reason why she didn’t want to go to work was that she hadn’t had as much fun as she had yesterday in a long time.
As she looked up at the portrait hanging on the bedroom wall, she burst into laughter. “Your drawing of me is so beautiful.”
Brandon wanted to destroy it yesterday, but Natalie didn’t want him to do so. She even framed it and hung it on the wall.
“I’m glad you like it.” Brandon said as he looked away from the awful drawing, clearly dissatisfied with it. “If you want, we can go again next weekend. We’ve been too busy these days, but I promise I’ll try my best to spend more time with you.”
Natalie flirtatiously nudged him as she gently said, “Both of us have work, so it’s no wonder why we barely have time to go out. If we have children, we’ll have even less time for ourselves.”
“That’s okay.” Brandon pulled her close and held her in his arms. “You’ll always be the one I’ll love most even if we have kids. I’d always want to have some time alone with you.”
Natalie looked down and smiled, her cheek rubbing against Brandon’s. Soon, they locked eyes.
Just when Brandon was about to climb on top of her, she stopped him and said, “No. I need to work today.”
Brandon chuckled. “Fine, Miss Workaholic. I’ll drive you to work.”
With that, Brandon escorted Natalie to the gate of W Marks Studio.
The rumors about Natalie and Draco had been resolved, and since then, it became much more peaceful in W Marks Studio. There weren’t any reporters lurking around anymore either.
However, Natalie was still nervous. She was trying to figure out how she should say or do if she were to run into Draco.
“The more you think about it, the more troubles will come your way,” Brandon said, trying to comfort her as he opened the door. “It’ll be fine, don’t worry.”
Natalie went out of the car with a faint smile. Coincidentally, when she looked up, she saw Draco from a distance, walking towards her. She was startled, but she still tried to keep her cool.
Draco was also a bit shocked when he saw Natalie, but he quickly adjusted his mood and smiled as he greeted, “Good morning.”
Natalie bid goodbye to Brandon with a smile before she ran to the studio.
Draco felt helpless. He was about to follow her inside the studio, but Brandon suddenly stopped him.
“You should have hidden it better if you had decided to make it a secret,” Brandon said in a low, monotone voice. Draco’s expression was calm as he replied, “Don’t worry; I won’t do anything to Natalie. She’ll become a renowned designer one day. She won’t be stuck here for the rest of her life.”
Both of them had completely different personalities and attitudes.
Brandon leaned against the car. “I have nothing to worry about. Natalie has her own plans. She’s the one who can decide for herself where she wants to go. I just want to remind you to keep your feelings to yourself.”
Draco’s eyes widened. He was lost in thought for a moment.
Brandon had already driven away the moment he heard the car engine. All he did was stare at the back of Brandon’s car for some time while he drove away.
He just couldn’t help but think about when he saw Natalie and Brandon together just now.
Admittedly, they were a perfect match.
Meanwhile, after Natalie entered the studio, she hid behind the curtain and peeped downstairs. She noticed Draco and Brandon standing there, but it didn’t seem like anything had happened.
When she looked back, she almost felt her heart skip a beat. She was startled by Elizabeth’s presence, especially since she had been staring at her silently. “When did you get so close?”
“I’ve been here the moment you pulled the curtain,” Elizabeth casually said while drinking her coffee.
