Rebirth Of Vengeance

Chapter 176

Natalie didn't hold back any longer. With a bright smile, she replied, "Alright, I'll call you Maurice then

"That sounds nice, but one day, I want you to call me something even more special, Maurice said, a gentle smile spreading across his face as his gaze lingered on her stunning features.

Natalie felt a flicker in her eyes. The question had crossed her mind multiple times, but she decided that calling him Maurice was just fine.

"Natalie, let's go. I've made reservations for us, so the timing is perfect, Maurice said as he stepped forward. He gracefully opened the car door, inviting her inside.

Meanwhile, Luna had been assigned to another car, leaving only Natalie and Maurice in front together..

As the car pulled away, Easton sat in a nearby vehicle, a dark cloud hanging over him. He watched Natalie and Maurice leave, her cheerful laughter echoing in his mind. She had never smiled at him like that. During the six months when he couldn't move, she had always encouraged him with that bright smile. But back then, he hadn't noticed how lively and radiant she could be.

His hand tightened on his knee, the memory of her laughter gnawing at him long after Maurice's car disappeared from view.

In the car, Xavier felt the atmosphere was heavy, so intense that he didn't dare to break the silence.

Finally, after a long pause, he asked, "Mr. Garcia, are we going home?"

That pulled Easton back to reality, his voice rough as he replied "Follow them."

"Oh... hesitated Xavier. He thought, "Shouldn't we just go home and let this play out? It's bedtime for beauty sleep, after all. Even guys need their rest to stay young. Easton frowned, his voice still gravelly, "I said follow them."

Xavier mumbled under his breath, "You know, when Ms. Shawn was home, you refused to come back for dinner every night Now you're chasing after her?" Just then, Easton's expression soured even more. He leaned back his lips pressed tight, a storm brewing within him as frustration threatened to boil over.
