Walter offered a small smile. "I'm currently the lead attorney for the Holden Group's legal team. Natalie and Mr. Holden asked me to take care of everything on your behalf and to follow up on your personal situation.

"Mr. Walker, everything's been cleared. You're free to come with me. While you're living outside, you must obey the law at all times. If anything comes up, you need to inform me immediately.

"Although you and Natalie had your differences in the past, she told me that you're still her older brother. All misunderstandings have been resolved, and everything is behind you. You're still young, and there's a bright future ahead. She's willing to reconcile."

Sky's eyes reddened in an instant. "I thought... I thought she would never forgive me."

"Come, Mr. Walker. Let's go." Walter took the lead and walked toward the exit.

Sky quickly followed. "Mr. Watson, I know who you are. You were the childhood friend Nat chose from the orphanage, weren't you? You practically grew up with her."

"It would be best not to use the phrase 'childhood friend' around Mr. Holden," Walter reminded him.

"Natalie and Mr. Holden are now married. I'm just her good friend and a Holden Group employee. To avoid misunderstandings or unnecessary jealousy, I'd suggest staying away from such wording in the future.

"Like everyone else, I only hope Natalie finds happiness. She and I are the closest of friends. That will never change."

Sky understood the meaning behind Walter's words and gave a small nod. "I'm sorry. That was poorly phrased. I'm just surprised to see you working at the Holden Group."

"It was Mr. Holden who invited me," Walter said with a slightly helpless smile. Marcus had essentially brought him under his watch, all while showering Natalie with affection in front of him.

But the offer had been too generous to refuse.

Since he and Natalie had no future together, Walter had long since buried any feelings he had for her. Whatever little hope he once had never had the chance to bloom.
