She glared at Natalie, who stood there with a gentle smile on her face.

As Jason descended the stairs, his arm instinctively reached out to support Natalie. She shyly dodged, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.

Jason frowned slightly.

Natalie's cheeks turned a deeper shade of red. "Was it Ludwik who asked you to check on me? I know it's hard being caught in the middle because of your father, but you really don't have to do this."
