Chapter 291

Natalia leaned against the door, her smartphone clutched in hand, lost in thought.

A wave of bitterness washed over her heart.

Even without Eveleen in the picture, there was still the Fowler family standing between them.

She truly didn't dare to hope anymore.

Scarlett, stretching lazily, emerged from her room and paused upon seeing her.

"Natalia, why are you back so soon?"

Approaching, Scarlett's brow furrowed in concern.

"You look pale. What's wrong?"

Snapped back to reality, Natalia shook her head slightly, her gaze lowered. "It's nothing, my assignment got postponed."

But Scarlett could tell something was off.

"That's no reason to look so down. What happened?"

A bitter smile crossed Natalia's face. "Hamilton somehow found out I'm pregnant."

Scarlett felt a chill. "And then? He's bothering you again?"

Natalia's smile was full of bitterness.

"He said he wants to give me and the baby a home."

Scarlett scoffed coldly, "A home, he says, as if it's that simple. What about the Fowler family? Will they agree? He hasn't even sorted out his own mess, and he's pestering you? Does he want you to suffer even more?" She glanced at Natalia.

"So, what now? What's your plan?"

Hamilton was like a bad penny, always turning up.

He probably never intended to let go in the first place.

And now that he knew about the baby, he was unlikely to back off.

Natalia rested her hand on her belly.

After a moment, she smiled weakly. "Nothing."

She wouldn't risk her child's safety, and she couldn't forget how, when her mother was not around, she couldn't reach him because he was with Eveleen.
