Chapter 95

Natalia’s nerves snapped taut. She looked at Hamilton, trying to appear natural. “I’ve been meaning to learn about some upscale sanatoriums, you know, planning ahead for my mom.”

Hamilton’s gaze bore into her as though trying to read her mind.

Natalia didn’t dare to look away. Hamilton was suspicious by nature, and she couldn’t afford to show any guilt.

After what felt like an eternity, he nodded.

“Are you planning on settling down in Boria City for the future?”

Natalia paused, actually having decided to ditch that particular sanatorium the moment she learned it belonged to the Spiegel family.

If she were to leave, she had no intention of re–entering Hamilton’s orbit.

“Perhaps.”

“Like Boria City?”

Natalia shook her head. “Not particularly, but it is the capital, after all. The healthcare here is a notch above the rest.”

Hamilton’s response was noncommittal. “But the cost of living and medical bills here are much steeper, Ms. Jenkins. Silkwood City’s healthcare is quite decent, too.”

Natalia’s lips were pressed tightly together, choosing not to engage.

Hamilton dropped the subject.

“Get ready. I’ll take you out for dinner.”

“Out?” Natalia’s question wasn’t surprising, given their history. Over their three–year relationship, they seldom dined out.

Apart from social engagements, Natalia usually cooked at home. After all, their affair wasn’t exactly public knowledge. They were hardly the type to go on dinner dates like any ordinary couple.

Hamilton nodded. “Yeah, after that, we’ll go horseback riding.”

A flicker of interest crossed Natalia’s eyes. “Alright.”

She changed into fresh clothes, and Hamilton led her out. His hand was large and warm, and she couldn’t help but look up at his silhouette.
