Natalie watched Easton walk away, feeling a wave of despair crash over her. She sank into her office chair, burying her face in her hands as tears streamed down her cheeks. Why do I always cry? I don't want to, she complained inwardly. Just as she was wallowing in her sadness, Lama walked in. "Ms. Shawn, Mr. James Shawn brought you a a cake

As soon as she said that, James strode in. The sunlight poured in casting a warm glow around him. He stood tall, his jawline sharp and his demeanor cool yet charming. "Natalie, I'm here," he said, his voice filled with tenderness. Natalie wiped her tears quickly, her face brightened. "James, you made it."

"Yep!" James noticed her red eyes, a flicker of concern crossing his face. "Did Easton upset you?"

"No, not anymore. I was crying because I'm finally free from him. I'm actually super happy," she answered with a cheerful grin, the tears in her eyes shimmering like scattered stars

James looked at her deeply, sympathy etched across his face for all she had endured. "When you're feeling down, a little sweetness can lift your spirits.

"I brought you chocolate cake-your favorite. The cream is the best here, fresh out of the oven. Sit down; I'll feed you."

Excited, Natalie settled beside him, ready for a treat.

Luna poured two cups of coffee before stepping out with a smile

Natalie couldn't help but admire James's elegant hands as he prepared the cake. It felt like watching an artist at work.

Sunlight streamed into the office, warming the atmosphere. James opened the cake box, picked up a spoon, and fed Natalie a bite.

"Delicious!" she exclaimed, her happiness shining through her smile.

"That's good. By the way, Gordon mentioned that he'll be back for your birthday," said James.

Natalie's heart soared. Her birthday was on October 1st, the same day her grandfather found her, not the same day as Jennifer.

She had been discovered in the woods, abandoned by Nick. It was Nick who found her, and he had never wanted her from the beginning. Yet, she couldn't understand why he eventually brought her back.

I was his daughter? Is it really just because of a lack of love? she thought, a subtle ache formed in her heart. "Natalie, what are you thinking about? Eat up. James's voice
