Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 238

The simple phrase had unexpectedly become the weapon that shattered Natalia's facade of calm. In an instant, all her strength crumbled.

Barefoot, she left the bed and walked to the door, collapsing onto his knees and began to cry softly.

Hamilton looked on with a heart full of pity but said nothing, allowing her tears to flow.

It was only when her sobs subsided that he gently lifted her up.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Natalia felt a knot of unease in her heart.

With teary eyes, she looked at Hamilton, "I thought you were too busy."

Hamilton raised an eyebrow, "No matter how busy, I'd make time for you."

Natalia bit her lip, and after a long pause, she finally asked, "Is Delilah someone your family wants you to marry?"

Hamilton chuckled softly, lifting her chin and asked in a whisper, "Jealous?"

Natalia pulled away from his hand.

"There's nothing for me to be jealous about. We're not in a relationship."

Hamilton pulled her into his embrace.

He leaned down and bit her neck gently.

"Really no relationship?"

Natalia remained silent.

It wasn't that there was nothing, but rather, she dared not entertain the thought.

One heartbreak with Eveleen was enough, and now Tatiana was suffering because of her involvement.

Moreover, Delilah was clearly from a more prestigious family than Eveleen.

Add to that the disapproval of the Fowler family.

Being powerless and without influence, she dared not contend with them any longer.

Hamilton instantly understood her hesitation.

His expression darkened silently.
