Rebirth Of Vengeance

Chapter 299

Whenever Natalie thought about Easton, a faint sting always pierced her heart.

For three years, she had revolved her entire life around him. But now, after six months apart, she was finally at ease.

Sometimes, memories of him would resurface, along with a pang of heartache. Yet she understood that life wasn't just abor love. Family mattered even more.

Natalie wouldn't allow her beloved grandfather and her three brothers to face harm.

Taking a deep breath, she decided to let go of those unpleasant memories.

She got out of bed, went to the bathroom, and changed into a chic loungewear set from her wardrobe. Walking to the window, she noticed it was snowing. A faint smile tugged at her lips. This was the first snowfall of the year. It was beautiful. Looking at her backyard, she realized it would soon be time to build snowmen again.

As she was about to turn away, memories of last year's snowfall surfaced. It was when Jennifer returned. Jennifer had unrestricted access to their villa, and her interactions with Easton were always ambiguous.

Back then, Natalie had been perpetually gloomy, but Easton hadn't noticed. His attention was wholly devoted to Jennifer.

A sudden wave of pain surged through her chest at the thought. Resting her hand over her heart, Natalie let out a bitter laugh. She thought she'd moved on, but the ache lingered.

Just then, her phone buzzed on the table. She walked over and picked it up, frowning slightly at the unfamiliar number. For some reason, she instinctively felt it was Easton calling. She pressed the answer button. "Hello?"

"Natalie, I'm outside your villa. It's snowing." Easton's deep, mellow voice came through the line.

Looking out at the snow, Natalie's gaze turned cold, though her lips carried a faint smile. "Why are you here? Haven't I made myself clear enough?"

Just moments ago, she'd been reminiscing about the heartache he caused her, and now his call only soured her mood further.

It was strange how people worked. Even when one thought one'd let someone go, their sudden appearance could still stir up frustration.

Natalie sank onto the cushion by the window, gazing at the overcast sky and the snowflakes drifting down..

Her faint reflection on the glass was still delicate and stunning, picture of elegance.
