Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 49

Chapter 49

Natalia had thought that Hamilton wouldn’t be returning that day. After all, Eveleen was surely there waiting for his comfort.

Yet, to her surprise, he came back that evening.

“Mr. Fowler, you’re back?” the nanny inquired as Hamilton simply nodded, his expression somber before he posed his own question.

“How is she? Did she have dinner?”

“She did. Ms. Jenkins had a good meal.”

Hamilton nodded once again and pushed open the bedroom door.

Inside, Natalia sat propped up against the bed, engrossed in a novel.

Hearing the door, she looked up, her eyes meeting Hamilton’s.

Without a word, Hamilton strode over and plucked the book from her grasp. “You shouldn’t be reading right now. Take a break from books for a while.”

Natalia was silent for a moment before acquiescing softly, “Okay.”

After a pause, she added, “I’m sorry about earlier today. I shouldn’t have snapped at you.”

Hamilton glanced at her as he methodically unbuttoned his shirt. “So you also realize you shouldn’t have lost your temper?”

Natalia’s lips quivered, “I just hope that you won’t bring up the matter of baby in front of me anymore. Since whether or not I have a kid is my own business from now on, so I’d appreciate it if you didn’t interfere.”

Hamilton’s eyes narrowed suddenly. After a moment, he let out a light chuckle, “Ms. Jenkins, you’re overthinking it. Why would I want to bring it up?”

His initial intention was to offer some comfort. If she wanted a kid, she could marry a man who truly loved her someday, have as many as she wished. No need to fret over this child.

But given her attitude, his comfort was clearly unwarranted.

Natalia didn’t respond after that. Another argument would be imminent if she talked.

After washing up, Hamilton retreated to his study. Soon after, he returned with a document in hand. “Take a look. If there’s no issue, you can sign your name.”

Natalia skimmed the document. It was a deed transfer agreement. A villa, owned by
