“Follow me to the courthouse later.” At the dining table, Natalie took a sip of milk before saying to Jared who was cutting into his omelet across from her.

“I will,” Jared responded without missing a beat.

Shane, who was seated at the head of the table, put down his coffee and looked at Shane. “Are you feeling better?”

Natalie knew that he was asking about her emotional status. Arching her lips into a smile, she replied, “Mm-hmm. I am. It's time to move on instead of allowing myself to be overcome by grief. Mom's death can't be undone. Being sad about it isn't going to change anything, so I might as well step out and continue living my life.”

“I'm glad you think that way, madam,” beside her, Mrs. Wilson commended with a smile.

Shane felt relieved that Natalie managed to pull through so quickly.

Natalie turned her attention back to Jared. “You too, Jared. Don't make me worry about you. Your heart...”

“Don't worry, Nat.” Jared cracked a soft smile at her. “I know.”

“Good.” Natalie nodded.

After breakfast, Shane brought the two children to kindergarten.

Meanwhile, Natalie and Jared made their way to the courthouse to end the lawsuit between Yulia and Harrison.

Initially, their lawsuit would have dragged on for a long time, but since Yulia already passed away, there was no need for it to go on.

The two of them arrived at the courthouse the same time Harrison did.

Ever since Yulia's death was concluded to be an accident, Harrison and Susan were cleared of all charges and released.

Hence, Natalie sent Harrison a message the previous night, telling him to come to the courthouse the next day, but she never expected to run into him right outside.

“Nat,” Harrison called out.
