Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 311

Hamilton released her with a chuckle, even as he pressed down on her legs.

"Look at you, bumping right into it!"

Natalia glared at him, wiping her mouth with a look of distaste.

But Hamilton, ever so gently, lifted his hand to caress her soft cheek with his knuckles.

"Natalia, thank you."

She hesitated for a moment, then averted her gaze.

"I did it for the kid. I don't want our child's father hurting himself over some childhood memories."

Hamilton's eyes were filled with an undeniable affection.

"Yeah, I know."

He smiled, rubbing his fingers across his chin with her hand.

"Even if it's for our child, I'm grateful you'd take this step."

Natalia tried to retract her hand, but Hamilton held on tighter.

She frowned, and Hamilton, seizing the moment, pulled out a document from the storage compartment beside them.

Natalia was taken aback.

"What's this?"

"Just open it," Hamilton said with a smile.

After hesitating for a moment, she did and was shocked. Hamilton had

transferred 51% of Ivy Gemstone's shares into her name.

Natalia looked at Hamilton, utterly stunned.

"Hamilton, what... why?"

His eyes were tender. "I told you, it's yours. Ivy Gemstone was always meant for you."

For a moment, Natalia was at a loss for words.

After a while, she tried to hand the agreement back to Hamilton.

"I told you, I can't accept this."

Hamilton played with her fingers, saying, "Then let's keep it for our child. From

now on, I'm working for you two, Ms. Jenkins. If you'll let me, I'm willing to work for you for the rest of my life."

Natalia's fingers curled slightly. She looked down, taking a long time before she finally spoke.

"Hamilton, you don't have to do this."
