Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 313

Hamilton gently guided her to the table.

"You're here without anyone to look after you; I can't be at ease. Can't keep relying on takeout for meals."

Natalia glanced at him but didn't argue further.

She had already decided to take a break from her job at the Department of Foreign Affairs.

As her pregnancy progressed, it was becoming increasingly inconvenient.

Even though Delilah no longer worked there, whether the Powell family still had influence over the Department of Foreign Affairs was uncertain.

After discussing it with Dawson, he agreed to her decision.

However, transitioning out of her role was a process.

Natalia continued her routine of leaving early and returning late until the end of November, just before Old Mr. Spiegel, Alfonso's birthday celebration, when her work was nearly handed over.

Natalia, nearly five months pregnant, could usually hide her belly under loose and thick sweaters.

But in a dress, there was no hiding it.

Therefore, she initially didn't want to attend Alfonso's birthday party, but to her surprise, Caspian personally came to pick her up.

"No need to dress up. Wear whatever you usually do. My mom and granddad really miss you. Just show up, make an appearance, and if you don't feel like staying long, you can head back early."

Unable to refuse, she agreed.

She turned to change her clothes.

Caspian glanced at Hamilton, who had just finished a phone call at the door.

"How are things with the Fowler family? Your grandfather called me recently; he seems to have figured out I've been pressuring the Fowlers."

Hamilton scoffed, "Ignore him. Business as usual."

Caspian nodded but soon frowned, "I heard your father brought back a son he had out of wedlock, and your grandfather seems quite fond of him?"

Hamilton's gaze darkened, "Just trying to pressure me."

Caspian sighed, "He's still your grandfather. He wouldn't do anything to you, but Natalia might not be so lucky. Be careful."
