Chapter 177: I Am A Tigress

In the evening, Natalie was getting ready to attend her grandparents’ wedding anniversary celebration.

The doorbell rang, and when Natalie opened it, she found Ryan standing outside.

"Ms. Natalie, Mr. Harper will be late and will meet you directly at the venue," Ryan informed her, handing over a beautifully designed shopping bag. "This is the gift he chose for Mr. Ford, and he asked that you bring it with you."

Natalie accepted it and asked, "Any idea where he went or when exactly he’ll arrive?"

Ryan shook his head. "He just said he’d be there for sure."

Natalie nodded thoughtfully, and Ryan took his leave.

She peeked inside the bag at the wooden box nestled within. "No need to check—I’m sure it’s something Grandpa will appreciate."

Just then, her phone buzzed with a message.

Justin:Received the gift?

Natalie:Yes, Ryan handed it over.

Justin:

Good. I’ll be there on time. In the meantime, stay safe in the wolf’s den.

Natalie:I’m a tigress.

Justin:I know. The bite on my neck is still fresh to remind me of it.

A wave of embarrassment flooded her at the memory, and she quickly typed a reply before setting her phone aside.
