Chapter 208

Hamilton felt a twinge of discomfort in his chest.

"Natalia, do you really see me as someone who can't tell right from wrong?" he asked.

Natalia let out a soft laugh.

She wanted to retort, "Aren't you?" But in the end, she swallowed her words. There was no point in arguing now.

Hamilton stood up and approached her. "Look, if she really did it, I won't cover for her, I promise."

Natalia didn't respond, her hopes not high. She had heard such promises too many times, only to be let down again and again. She didn't want to blame Hamilton for Eveleen's actions anymore. After all, their relationship wasn't such that Hamilton was obliged to take her side. Besides, he had saved her that day.

"Let's go back to the hotel," Natalia said, heading towards the door.

Hamilton followed, frowning, wanting to say more but unsure what to say.

They left the Foreign Affairs Department, and in the quiet of the night, Hamilton felt as if a vast chasm had opened between them. This distance irked him, and he quickened his pace to walk beside her. Under the moonlight, their shadows merged together. Hamilton looked down at the shadows, feeling a bit better.

Natalia frowned slightly. Hamilton's sudden closeness made her uncomfortable. His towering figure seemed to envelop her. With the greenery beside her, there was nowhere to escape.

"Hamilton, can you keep your distance?" she said, pushing him slightly.

Hamilton grunted, "My arm hurts."

Natalia took a deep breath and hurried to the car. "Give me the keys."

But Hamilton didn't hand them over; he just got into the car. Natalia didn't argue further and joined him. They returned to the hotel in silence.
