Chapter 160 Are You Just Pretending


Walter and Charlotte spoke outside the hospital room for a while.

Charlotte exuded elegance with an undertone of sharpness. It wasn't overbearing, but it still made people instinctively feel wary. It was the kind of presence that came from years of holding a high position.

Even Grace lacked this kind of composure, and Diana, being petty, definitely didn't either.

Most of all, Charlotte looked almost identical to Natalie. Despite her age, she was well-maintained and seemed at most in her early 30s. Time had barely left its mark on her.

Walter would have believed it if someone said she was Natalie's sister.

"Mr. Watson, you and my daughter have known each other since she was young. Could you tell me about her childhood?" Charlotte asked, turning the topic to Natalie after they finished their discussion.

She had missed the first 20 years of her precious daughter's life, and all her wealth and power could not make up for that.

"When we were kids, I didn't see Natalie very often. But she'd always come at specific times to check on me. She'd bring me some basic necessities and give me my living expenses," Walter said, leaning against the wall.

Whenever he spoke about her younger days, a gentle look came into his eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"At the time, I thought the living expenses came from Mrs. Langley Senior. I felt deeply grateful to her, so I always told Natalie that I would study hard and live up to the expectations of Mrs. Langley Senior and her.
