Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 258

Hamilton's Adam's apple bobbed slightly before he broke the silence. "Met her at the airport."

After saying that, he turned Natalia around and quickly added, "Natalia, there's nothing between her and me. You have to believe me. I came here today just for you. I had no idea she would show up at the airport." Natalia's lips were pressed tightly together, trying to suppress the heaviness in her heart.

It took her a moment to ask, "How did she know you were coming to Ylandia?"

Hamilton's expression darkened, "I'm not sure yet, but I'll find out. Please, don't be upset, okay?"

After a brief pause, he continued, "She hugged me today, and I pushed her away right then. Natalia, I can have someone check the airport's surveillance footage if you want."

Natalia looked at Hamilton, biting her lip.

She knew she should trust Hamilton.

But it felt like something was gnawing at her heart.

Eveleen was a knot in her heart that she could never seem to untie.

That beam of moonlight was like a ditch lying between her and Hamilton.

She was trying hard to cross it, wanted to cross it.

But just when she thought she had, it appeared again.

"I'll have someone keep an eye on her, she'll never appear in front of me again, okay?"

Natalia glanced at him, "Can you really control her? The moment she attempts anything drastic, you'll drop everything."

Hamilton held Natalia's waist, "Do you really distrust me that much?"

Natalia didn't say anything more, her phone was buzzing relentlessly. The folks from the Foreign Affairs Department were urging her nonstop.

She gathered her emotions and walked outside.

Hamilton followed, his gaze slightly heavy.

When they arrived at the bar, it was buzzing with activity.

Seeing Natalia, everyone cheered.

"Natalia! You're late, three shots as a penalty!"

"Exactly! Three shots."

Natalia smiled as she made her way over.
