Naturally, people began to laugh at her.
“Come on. Even if she has no boyfriend, your son still doesn't stand a chance. It's not like we don't know what your
son is like. He definitely isn't worthy of her hand.”
“Exactly. You are so daring to make such a statement.”
Although Natalie could tell that the residents were discussing her, their voices were not loud enough for her to hear
the contents of their discussion.
Even so, she was not bothered by it. Flashing a smile at the crowd, she turned to pass the bags in her hands to the
bodyguard behind her.
After he had taken the bags from her, the bodyguard followed behind her into the residential area.
As they walked, Natalie scrolled through her cell phone for the address of the Rivers family.
Before that, Joyce had already told her the address. However, Natalie did not make the effort to remember, so she
had no clue which floor the Rivers family stayed on.
Fortunately, Natalie found the address fairly quickly. She lifted her head to access her surroundings and found the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtplace she was about to go. With a confident smile, she made her way forward.
Stopping in front of one of the blocks, Natalie put down her cell phone. “This is the place. We're heading for the
twelfth floor.”
“Alright, Mrs. Thompson.” With that, the bodyguard stepped inside and pressed the elevator button for Natalie.
Due to not many using the elevator at the moment, the elevator arrived soon.
The bodyguard waited till Natalie entered before going into the elevator and pressing the number twelve.
Ding! Within half a minute, the elevator reached the twelfth floor.
Once the door opened, Natalie took the lead and exited the elevator first. She took a left and walked for a few
meters before stopping in front of a door.
Knowing that they had reached their destination, the bodyguard raised his hand and knocked.
“Who is it?” a voice asked from the inside soon.
Natalie smiled but remained silent on purpose. She wanted to surprise the people inside.
Without waiting for a response, the person opened the door in confusion. “Who is it?”
“Mrs. Rivers.” Natalie broke into a huge grin at the sight of the woman who opened the door.
That was enough to make Caitlin speechless.
Before long, Caitlin snapped out of her daze and stared at Natalie in pleasant surprise. “Nat? Is that really you?”
“It's me.” Natalie laughed with a nod. “I'm here to see you and Mr. Rivers. Am I welcomed?”
Caitlin wiped her hands on her apron happily before reaching out for Natalie's hands warmly. “Of course, you are!
I'm beyond happy that you come and visit us!”
As she was speaking, Caitlin turned her head to the living room and yelled, “Jon! Come and see who's here!”
“Who is it?” A man's voice sounded from the living room followed by the sound of footsteps gradually getting
louder.
Within seconds, a man appeared behind Caitlin. Peering across Caitlin's head, Jonathan noticed Natalie outside the
doorframe. After a brief moment of shock, Jonathan also broke into a huge grin. “Nat!”
“Hi, Mr. Rivers,” greeted Natalie sweetly.
“What are you doing here, Nat?” Jonathan asked happily.
“I'm here to see you and Mrs. Rivers,” answered Natalie.
Jonathan nudged Caitlin. “Hey, stop blocking the entrance. Let Nat in.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was only then did Caitlin remember that she had yet to invite Natalie in. Caitlin slapped her forehead before
exclaiming, “How rude of me! I got so excited that I've forgotten to let you in! So sorry, Nat. I-”
“It's okay, Mrs. Rivers. I understand.” Natalie grinned.
Caitlin took Natalie by the arm. “Oh, come on in, Nat. Oh, this is...”
Just then, Caitlin noticed the bodyguard behind Natalie. Her face immediately scrunched up in puzzlement.
This man is big and tall. Could this be Nat's husband?
But he doesn't seem to match Nat. He doesn't look like Nat's husband when standing next to her. He feels more like
her bodyguard.
Although Caitlin thought so, she dared not speak her mind. After all, she could not ascertain the man's relationship
with Natalie.
It would be extremely awkward if she got it wrong.
Natalie went on to introduce the man, “This is the bodyguard my husband has assigned for me.”
“Bodyguard!” Caitlin stared at the man in surprise.
So that really is her bodyguard.
Good thing I didn't say that was her husband.
That would have been so awkward.
