Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 302

Natalia stared at the card resting atop the bouquet for a long while before setting it aside. Then she picked up the pair of earrings.

These earrings were even more exquisite than the ones he had bought for Eveleen, beautiful indeed, a significant upgrade from the random pair he once picked up at the mall.

But Natalia barely gave them a second glance before setting them aside and heading to freshen up.

After last night's outburst, she felt somewhat calmer.

But the hurt resurfaced every time she thought about it.

Lost in her reflection, Natalia couldn't help but drift into her thoughts.

Hamilton, carrying breakfast, found Natalia zoning out in front of the mirror.

He set the breakfast aside and wrapped his arms around her from behind.

It was only then that Natalia snapped back to reality.

"Why are you here again?" she asked.

Hamilton, his lips curling into a gentle smile, replied, "Went out to grab some breakfast. Got you some oatmeal."

Natalia paused, her gaze dropping.

"I'm not hungry."

Hamilton's hand, however, rested on her belly.

"Little troublemaker giving you grief?"

Natalia pushed him away with a cold retort.

"It's not the little troublemaker, it's the big troublemaker."

Hamilton's heart skipped a beat at her words, his breathing deepening.
