Chapter 223

Natalia shook her head, a hint of exhaustion in her gesture. "Not really."

Scarlett glanced at her, her tone laced with a mix of concern and annoyance. "Let me guess, Hamilton, that jerk, made you upset again?"

Natalia remained silent, her mind a whirl of thoughts. After a moment, she pulled out her phone and dialed Hamilton's number.

"Hamilton, I'm just... really tired right now. Let's talk about everything else later, okay?"

There was a long pause from Hamilton's end before he finally spoke up, just as Natalia was about to hang up.

"Natalia, are you mad at me?"

Natalia's gaze dropped.

Mad? Maybe.

She was indeed feeling a bit off, especially after finding out about Tatiana's situation tonight.

Whether it was Lucinda or Patrick, it felt like a thorn in her heart.

But she didn't really blame Hamilton. "No, I'm not mad."

However, Hamilton could sense her displeasure. "Natalia, you saw it. She came over to me first."

"Yeah." Her voice was calm, almost too calm. "Hamilton, I'm just really tired."

Hamilton paused for a moment before replying, "Then get some rest, goodnight."

After hanging up, Natalia headed back to her bedroom.

Shortly after, her phone buzzed with a new message.

I'll try to send Eveleen away as soon as possible.

Natalia stared at the message, choosing not to reply.

The next morning, Natalia had just woken up when a series of knocks echoed from the front door.

Scarlett, drying her hair with a towel, opened the door to find a surprise.

"Who sent this breakfast over?"

Hanging on the doorknob was a breakfast bag, filled with Natalia's favorite: chocolate croissants.

"Wow, chocolate croissants! Natalia, it's your favorite!"

Natalia's eyelashes fluttered slightly, but she said nothing.

Scarlett's eyes sparkled with mischief. "Did that jerk Hamilton send this?"

"Probably."
