Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 203

Chapter 202

Natalia pretended she hadn't heard him at all.

What's

there to compare, really?

It was just childish.

And to be honest, if we're laying it all out there, Ryan himself had never done anything to hurt her.

On the contrary, it was she who had initiated their relationship and later, the breakup, causing him pain.

Hamilton was about to say something else when a car pulled up to the curb.

Dawson stepped out, his gaze immediately finding Natalia.

"Senator Dawson."

Natalia was the first to greet him.

Dawson nodded, "I heard about what happened inside. Not everyone's a piece of cake to deal with. If you get along, great; if not, no need to sweat it. Don't let it bother you."

Natalia was taken aback; she hadn't expected Dawson to comfort her.

A small smile played on her lips, "Thank you, Senator Dawson, I appreciate it."

After a pause, she continued, "But about my past, I wasn't sure if..."

Dawson chuckled, "Mr. Fowler has already cleared the air with us. Don't worry, your past won't affect your application to the Foreign Affairs Department."

Natalia was stunned and looked up at Hamilton in surprise.

After sharing a look between Hamilton and Natalia, Dawson smiled, "Alright, if you're tired, better head home early to rest. You've got a busy day tomorrow," and with that, he headed towards the banquet hall. Standing at the door, Natalia was silent for a moment before speaking again, "How did you explain it to them?"

After a brief silence, Hamilton said, "I told them we were just normally dating."

Hearing this, Natalia felt a mix of emotions she couldn't quite identify.

Regardless, she thanked him. Without Hamilton's explanation, her chances of joining the Foreign Affairs Department with her history would have been slim.

Hamilton initially wanted to say that thanks weren't what he was after.

But fearing she'd brush him off, he went straight to the point, "Natalia, let's grab dinner together."

Natalia looked at him and after a moment, agreed, "Sure, my treat."
