The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 152 Who Could Have Stopped Her

When Natalie had stayed with the Langleys, she had often disappeared for a while from time to time.

During those days away, she had learned medical skills and other abilities from Milan. She had also listened to many stories about his adventures in his younger years.

Most of those adventures had happened deep the mountains.

After hearing so many of them, Natalie had started to yearn for such experiences.

However, Grace had always taught her to focus on the Langley family and Langley Group. Because of that, she could not vanish for too long.

Grace was the only family member who truly cared about her, so Natalie didn't want to make things difficult for her.

More importantly, Natalie had become accustomed to putting the Langleys first because of how Grace had raised her since childhood.

People often said that those who cried the loudest got the most attention. Yet, Natalie had never cried in the Langley family as she had not wanted Grace to worry.

Later, when her birth parents and her brother had appeared, they had hoped with all their hearts that she would go back with them.

They had never forced or pressured her. Instead, they showed through their actions that they truly loved her and sincerely wished for her to return.

Even if she chose not to go back, they would still respect her choices without question.

Whenever she found something inconvenient, William and Charlotte would step in to help her handle it. Afterward, they never took credit for it or even let her know what they had done.

Some of William and Charlotte's actions made Natalie wonder what real love truly looked like.
