Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 142

Sorry. Hamilton’s face was a tad stiff as he uttered the word.

Natalia let out a chuckle. “Drop the apologies, Hamilton. If Eveleen means so much to you, then just make sure you two are happy together, okay? As long as you don’t bother me, I’ll be more than grateful.”

Hamilton’s face contorted at her words.

Was she really so keen to cut him off?

And since when had he ever said he wanted to be with Eveleen?

Natalia could tell Hamilton was riled up, but she didn’t care. She spun on her heel and headed for the apartment building.

Hamilton reached out, grabbing her wrist. Natalia’s eyebrows knitted together, and then she noticed the blood dripping from his hand.

Her lips tightened, but she didn’t pull away.

“What do you want?”

Hamilton’s lips twitched, struggling to speak. “Natalia, can you give me a chance to make it up to you? I swear, nothing like that will ever happen again. You call me anytime, and I’ll be there, okay?”

Natalia’s laugh was dry, “Do you want to compensate me, Mr. Fowler?”

Hamilton nodded frantically.

Natalia eyed him and said, “So, I want Eveleen behind bars. After all, she’s hurt me more than once. Can you do that, Mr. Fowler?”

Hamilton’s brow furrowed instantly. His grip on her wrist tightened unconsciously.

After a long silence, he managed to say, “Natalia, our issues have nothing to do with Eveleen.”

Natalia laughed, breaking free from his hold. “If you really want to make amends, just sign

the agreement cheerfully tomorrow. That’s all I’m asking for right now.”

With that, Natalia slipped from his grasp and disappeared into the building.

Hamilton stood there, watching her resolute figure disappear, and a cold laugh escaped

him.

He had no idea when she had become so hard to appease.

Back home, Natalia found Scarlett still out on the balcony. Seeing her come in, Scarlett waved urgently.
