Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 317

Dawson paused for a moment, "Looks like the overseas assignment will have to be pushed back."

"What if I wanted to go abroad for personal reasons?"

Dawson replied softly, “You can apply, but the approval process is going to be a nightmare, and it'll take forever."

Natalia let out a sigh, "Alright, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Hamilton stepped out of the bathroom, a chill still clinging to him.

He slipped into his pajamas before coming over to embrace her.

"Not sleepy yet?"

In a low voice, Natalia said, “Hamilton, you'll keep our baby safe, won't you?"

Hamilton held her tightly, and it was a while before he responded.

"Yeah."

Natalia didn't know when she fell asleep, but even in her sleep, her brows were furrowed.

Hamilton, feeling a pang of sympathy, pulled her closer into his embrace.

He thought to himself, this time, no matter what, he wouldn't let anything happen to her again.

In the following days, Natalia rarely left the house.

But she knew that Hamilton had set up a lot of safeguards around the neighborhood.

The men and women coming and going were mostly his doing.

Even the groceries and necessities were delivered by someone assigned by him.

Natalia had the housekeeper place a lounge chair on the balcony, where she would relax every afternoon.

Outside, it was snowing, but inside, it was cozy and warm.

Holding a book, she was reading leisurely when her phone suddenly rang.

It was an unknown number.

She thought for a moment, then decided to hang up.

But shortly after, a message came through.

It's Mrs. Joyner.

Not long after the message was sent, the phone rang again.

This time, Natalia answered.

"Mrs. Joyner, hello."

Mrs. Joyner's voice came through from the other side, "Natalia, let's meet."

Natalia bit her lip, "Mrs. Joyner, if you have something to say, we can talk over the phone."
