Although Natalie had already forgiven Harrison after his death, she did not let go of her hatred toward him, nor
would she ever do so.
After all, nobody could possibly bring themselves to not hate a father like that.
Caitlin smacked herself on the thigh as she said, “They had it coming! Not only did he cheat on your mom and
forced her to divorce him unconditionally, he even kicked her two kids out of the house! To make matters worse, he
even brought the vixen and his illegitimate daughter home! Well, karma sure came for him well! That vixen never
actually loved him, and she cheated on him too! That illegitimate daughter that he loved so much wasn't even his,
to begin with!”
Natalie ran her fingers through her hair. “All right, let's drop this topic before it affects our mood even further. How

She then retrieved the clothes from the bag and handed them over to Caitlin.
Although a little shy, Caitlin placed her teacup down and began trying out the clothes anyway.
Fortunately, she didn't need to go to her room to get changed as the pieces were all coats and jackets. Natalie was
helping Caitlin button up a coat in the living room when the front door was opened all of a sudden.
A woman's voice was heard saying, “Thank you so much for today, Justin!”
What followed was a man replying gently, “No problem!”
While Natalie had never heard the man's voice before, the woman's voice sounded incredibly familiar to her. It was
none other than Joyce.
Natalie paused in her actions and turned around to face the door, only to see Joyce changing her shoes at the door.
Standing behind her was a tall and handsome young man.
He was smiling at Joyce with such an affectionate look in his eyes that even Natalie was a little taken aback.
Joyce called him “Justin,” so he's probably the guy Mrs. Rivers told me about earlier. I assumed he isn't truly in love
with Joyce since he waited twenty years to come and look for her, but... that affectionate look in his eyes... Could I
have been wrong about him? Does he actually love Joyce deeply? Or is he simply that good at putting up an act? If
his display of affection is completely faked, then he is a lot scarier than I had imagined! Let's hope that isn't the
case here... Despite Joyce claiming to have moved on, I can tell that she still has feelings for Stanley. She can avoid
contacting and mentioning him all she likes, but I know her feelings for him haven't changed. She has simply
learned to hide it deep within her heart and keep it a secret from others. Heck, I bet she still misses him dearly
every night!
Natalie knew better than anyone else just how much Joyce loved Stanley. She was the only one who saw how much
pain Joyce had to suffer due to the circumstances of their relationship.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBeing Joyce's best friend, Natalie truly hoped for Joyce to let go of Stanley and return to her usual cheerful self.
She had tried talking to Joyce about it in the past. Although Joyce would always nod and agree with what Natalie
said, she never actually put her advice into practice.
As such, Natalie and Caitlin both wanted Joyce to fall in love with another man and start a new relationship that
would bring her happiness, but under the condition that the man truly loved Joyce and had no ulterior motives
toward her.
That was why Natalie felt suspicious toward Justin who had seemingly popped out of nowhere all of a sudden.
If he truly loved Joyce, then Natalie would wholeheartedly support their relationship. However, if he had ulterior
motives toward Joyce, Natalie would be sure to make him pay for it.
Justin glanced in her direction when he felt Natalie staring at him, only to meet her cautious gaze the moment he
did.
