Chapter 65 The Joke at the Birthday Banquet

Natalie and Bianca had dinner together.

Blanca commented, “I’ve never had such delicious food in all these years. Your uncle has quite a discerning taste, huh?”

Because he had a disceming palate, the chef prepared only the finest ingredients.

Everything was fully certified.

Natalie replied, “Yes, he’s very particular.”

That was why, every time she went out with Stephen during the past few months, he’d never seemed to

enjoy his meals. It was as if something was always amiss.

Bianca sighed, “I envy you. No matter how much you eat, you never in weight. If I ate with you for a

while, I’d probably gain thirty pounds.”

Bianca had a tall, slender figure, but she had an easy propensity to gain weight. Even a little carelessness would result in extra pounds.

In contrast, Natalie had stayed the same as when they first met–the years seemed to be kind to her, leaving no trace of age.

Natalie remarked, ‘But I often lack nutrients, and my hair tends to fall out a lot.”

Thankfully, she had a lot of hair, otherwise, she would have lost a significant amount over the years. She wasn’t sure if it was due to insufficient nutrient absorption or the excessive stress of dealing with the Johnson family.

Each time she washed her hair, she’d see a handful of strands fall out.

Bianca tried to comfort her, saying, “It’s alright. You have so much hair, you can’t lose it all.”

Natalie responded with an uncertain look. She was about to say something else when her phone rang.

She checked the number, which was unfamiliar. Thinking it might be a customer, she hurriedly answered, Hello! This is Natalie.”

The caller on the other end had a gentle tone. “Yes, I know.”

Upon hearing that voice, Natalle’s expression darkened. “It’s you?”

Yes, Jocelyn responded.

“What is it?” Natalie’s tone wasn’t friendly because she felt uneasy.

Over the years, Cedric had his share of social events and escapades. But these two women, Isabella and Jocelyn, were the only ones who came directly to her doorstep.
