The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 232

Chapter 232 It Was Best Not to Corner Her Completely

"Go ahead," Sky said.

"I think calling you Ms. Natalie feels a bit distant. Since we're living under the same roof, would it be okay if I just called you by your name or Nat?" Emma asked, wiping away her tears.

She looked at Natalie with a sincere expression. "If you call me Emma, it'll make it seem like we're closer. Is that alright?"

"Nat, I think Emma has a point," Sky chimed in. "We're all living in the same house. Calling you Ms. Natalie does feel a bit stiff. Just do me a favor, and let's all use names only, alright?"

Then, he turned to Emma. "For all we know, you might even be older than Nat. Stop chasing her around like a little kid—it'll only make her feel old."

"Okay, Sky. I understand now. I'm sorry I didn't think about it," Emma said obediently.

She seemed especially compliant, nodding to whatever Sky said.

"Nat, what do you think?" Lincoln asked, holding a teacup in his hand.

After thinking it through, he felt Sky's reasoning wasn't without merit.

For the first 20 years of her life, Emma had been the cherished daughter of the Walker family.

Now that Natalie had returned, everything could change drastically. If Emma caused trouble, she would be kicked out without hesitation. However, if she remained well-behaved and docile, there was no reason the Walker family couldn't continue to keep her.

After all, they had raised her for so many years. It was impossible to say there were no feelings at all.

Natalie nodded. "Alright, we'll do as Sky suggests."

If Emma were driven out of the Walker family, both Sky and Emma would hate her

for it. As Federrick had once taught her, it was best not to corner someone completely.

Sky sighed with relief. "Alright, then. Thank you for being understanding, Nat."
