Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 309

Hamilton gave a nonchalant grunt in response.

Then, he leaned down and whispered a kiss on Natalia's ear.

"As long as she's still in the State Department, you need to be careful, Natalia. I don't want you getting worn out over this."

Natalia's eyelashes fluttered.

After a moment, she asked in a low voice, "What brings you here suddenly? Did you sort things out with the Fowlers? Did you clash with your grandfather over me?"

"I missed you, so I came." Hamilton nestled his chin in the crook of her shoulder.

"As for the old man, it wasn't all about you. It's about time I took back control of the Fowler family."

Natalia nodded slightly, seemingly relieved.

She wriggled free from his embrace and headed to the bathroom.

Hamilton called room service for breakfast. By the time Natalia emerged, he was

all set to go.

Noticing his ready-to-leave appearance, Natalia's gaze flickered.

"Leaving already?"

Hamilton pulled her into a hug, "If you'll miss me too much, I could stay."

After a brief look, Natalia pushed him away.

Yet, after a moment, she added, "Just... be careful out there."

Hamilton chuckled.

"Ms. Jenkins, are you worried about me?"

Natalia paused before replying, "Hamilton, you're still the father of my child. I don't want anything bad happening to you."

Hamilton, with a smile playing at his lips, "Natalia, it means a lot to me that you still care."

Natalia cast her gaze downwards, remaining silent.

She couldn't help but worry.

Despite the distance between them, this man was once her deepest love.

Even if they couldn't be together anymore, she couldn't simply act as if he didn't exist.

After breakfast, Hamilton left.

Natalia didn't accompany him downstairs but watched from the window as he got into his car and drove off, until his car was no longer in sight.
