“Just tell me if they’re bothering you too much.” A fond smile appeared on Hannah’s face.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. I’m just a little worried. They can be pretty relentless, and if they keep digging around, they might harm you. Since you’ve been taken back to the Whites and married Brandon, a big part of your life has also changed. There are bigger things at stake, so it would be better to leave the past behind.”

Natalie instinctively nodded, even though she knew Hannah couldn’t see her.

“Don’t Worry. I’ll be careful. You should also take care of yourself. Call me if anything happens. I’m here, and I’ve grown up too, so don’t shoulder everything on your own.”

At that moment, Brandon greeted Hannah as well, “Good evening, Hannah. Please don’t worry about Natalie. I promise I’ll take good care of her. I’ll deal with the reporters bothering you too. Just leave everything to me.”

Brandon’s reassurance lifted some of Hannah’s worries.

With a laugh, she said, “That’s great. You guys keep busy. I won’t disturb you two lovebirds any longer.”

The call had ended, but Natalie’s frown stayed.

“This is my fault,” she said guiltily.

“I should have thought things through. Now even Hannah’s troubled because of my studio, and I hate it.”

She knew all too well how brazen and relentless those reporters could be.

They were worse than rats when it came to digging up stories.

Hannah didn’t say much about it, but Natalie was certain they had been going after her nonstop.

Strong arms wrapped around her in a protective hold.

“Don’t worry.”

Brandon’s voice came to her ears.

“I’ll take care of this. But…”
