After work, Natalie went to the supermarket to stock up on ingredients.

Of course, her bodyguard went with her.

“Do you want to come in and have dinner with us tonight? I promise I won’t poison you,” she said with a smile when they got home.

“It’s okay, Mrs. Larson. I’ll just wait by the door.”

The bodyguard blushed slightly and waved her hand in a hurry.

However, no matter how hard Natalie tried to change her mind, she insisted on staying by the door like a statue.

Natalie shrugged. She carried the grocery bags to the kitchen and started cooking. She hadn’t been herself since she walked out of the Draco’s office earlier that day. She absentmindedly sliced the vegetables, the silver blade making dull sounds as it hit the wooden chopping board.

With her eyes lowered, Natalie felt very sad at the thought that she might’ve been the one who leaked the design drawing.

And judging from what Draco had said, it seemed that he wanted to take the blame for her.

Natalie was a little surprised when he said that.

Why would he do that for her? When she opened the cupboard to take out some plates, her mind was elsewhere.

The plates in the cupboard fell out and shattered into pieces on the floor.

The crisp sound of porcelain breaking echoed in the empty house.

Natalie’s face turned pale.

Looking at all the broken plates on the floor, she squatted down to clean up. It just so happened that Brandon came home when the plates fell. He had heard the noises from the kitchen and quickly went to investigate.

As soon as he saw what had happened, Brandon immediately went to get down beside Natalie and quickly started to pick up the pieces of broken porcelain.

“Let me do it.”

“It’s okay. I was almost done,” Natalie said in a fluster.

She then cut her finger accidentally on a sharp edge.

“Ouch!” she yelped and immediately threw away the broken plate in her hand.

There was an obvious wound on her finger, and bright red blood oozed from the cut.
