Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 326

Hamilton watched her, a rueful smile spreading across his face after a long silence.

"Are you doing this on purpose?"

Natalia met his gaze.

"Hamilton, since we've already established that we're nothing to each other, aren't you being a bit too nosy now?"

Hamilton's brow twitched in irritation.

"Is there no one else you could collaborate with? Why does it have to be Lionel?"

Natalia chuckled, "Well, yes, but Lionel is an old acquaintance. Naturally, I'd prioritize him. Plus, you know he's been eager to work with me."

Hamilton massaged his temples.

Natalia's expression remained indifferent.

"Hamilton, if you're here for a business proposal, let's discuss that. If not, my other affairs are none of your business. I won't just collaborate with Lionel; I might work with other men in the future, and you can't possibly want to meddle in all of that."

Hamilton felt a vein throb in frustration.

But at this moment, he could only blame himself for not being able to control his emotions.

He knew she was doing it on purpose, setting up a meeting with Lionel, and even choosing the cafe right beneath Ben's office.

Yet he couldn't help himself.

Three years of yearning.

Seeing her yet not being able to get close was torturous.

He had checked on Bertram last night; the guy had a girlfriend.

But Lionel was different.

Lio Law Firm was thriving more than ever.

Lionel was considered one of the city's most eligible bachelors.

Hamilton still remembered how she used to obsess over translating documents for Lionel.

So, he couldn't resist coming over.

But clearly, she was waiting for him to make the move.

"You like working with Lionel that much?"

Natalia glanced at him, then suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Her cool fingers wrapped around his wrist, making Hamilton's body stiffen momentarily.

Hamilton chuckled, "Ms. Jenkins, what's this? Trying to seduce me?"

Natalia looked at him, and the next second, she rolled up his sleeve.

A string of prayer beads awkwardly adorned his wrist.

Natalia looked up to meet his gaze.

"If you meant what you said back then, why keep wearing these prayer beads?"

Hamilton adjusted his sleeve.

"Just for peace of mind, nothing special."

Natalia laughed softly.

"Was everything you said back then on purpose?"

At her words, Hamilton choked up.

Seeing his expression, Natalia felt an indescribable mix of emotions.

Hamilton's decisive words back then had indeed embarrassed her deeply. But she knew Hamilton well enough.
