Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 75

Frozen in place, Natalia didn’t dare to move an inch. She never had any doubts about Hamilton’s stamina. This man had kept her up through too many sleepless nights

As Hamilton saw her finally settle down, a smirk curled up the corners of his lips.

“Sleep, he murmured.

The next day, when Natalia woke up, Hamilton was no longer by her side. The sheets beside her were already cold.

Thinking Hamilton had left, she just let out a sigh of relief.

But when she opened the bedroom door, she found him watering the plants on the balcony.

Natalia was stunned.

Hamilton looked up at the sound of her opening the door, “Awake? Freshen up, it’s almost time for breakfast.”

Natalia’s lips twitched, and after a moment, she asked, “Why… why aren’t you at the office?”

Hamilton wiped his hands with a cloth, “Ms. Jenkins, when do you plan on returning to work?” Natalia frowned slightly, “I was thinking of taking a bit more time off. Didn’t you say that I could extend it if the holiday wasn’t enough?”

Hamilton had said that, but now he was having second thoughts.

If she was well enough to take on a part–time job, she was surely fit to return to her regular duties.

Better to have her under his watchful eye at the company than to sneak up and meet some other guy.

“The company needs Ms. Jenkins,” he said nonchalantly.

Natalia let out a bitter laugh. His words felt hollow to her. She suspected he was still holding a grudge about her meeting with Lionel yesterday.

“I still have some personal matters to attend to.” She said to him.

“What matters?” Hamilton’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“I’ve made plans with Scarlett to go shopping today, and I wanted to visit my mother as well.” Hamilton didn’t object, “Then take another day. Shopping in the morning and visiting your mother in the afternoon should suffice.”
