The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 787

Natalie’s revelation about the exorbitant price of the clothes left Carly’s grandmother stunned. She stared at her clothes in shock and immediately thought of taking them off.

“Too… too expensive…” She gestured at the clothes in panic.

Carly frowned, sending Natalie a displeased stare. “Miss White, have you forgotten our deal? Why did you reveal the real cost of the clothing?” Natalie looked at her seriously. “Because I didn’t want your efforts to be looked over simply because of the expense,” she said with a serious tone.

Carly and her grandmother were both stunned. With a small smile, Natalie explained to the old woman, “The overall cost of the clothes is expensive due to my design commission. Mrs. Reed spent a lot of time helping you find a suitable designer. The time and money spent on it are all out of Mrs. Reed’s love for you.”

Carly’s grandmother was already about to take off the clothes. However, she hesitated upon Natalie’s words.

Reminiscing about the past made Natalie a bit sentimental. She was touched while watching the two. “I also have someone in my family who’s the same age as you. Her name is Hannah. She’s a kind woman and was always sacrificing for my sake. She would rather use her money for me rather than spend it on herself. However, her action made me feel uneasy.”

“Why did it make you feel uncomfortable?” Carly’s grandmother looked a bit confused. “Because now that I have the ability to provide, I want the people I love to have a better life. I want to return her favor and show my love the way she did. [hope she can accept my gratitude.” Natalie had a solemn look on her face. Sincerity was obvious with every word she said.

The anger in Carly’s eyes dissipated, replaced by a layer of tears.

With a slight turn of her head, she casually wiped away the tears that formed in the corners of her eyes, then acted as if nothing happened. What Natalie said resonated deep in her heart. Her grandma’s unwillingness to accept her kindness often made her feel uncomfortable and guilty.

Carly’s grandmother listened intently to Natalie’s sincere words, recalling the days when she and Carly relied on each other. A relieved smile blossomed on her face. “Miss White, you’re right. This is Carly’s way to show her love for me, so I should accept it with an open heart.” She placed a hand on her chest and look at Carly affectionately.
