Chapter 452 Ford and Dominick thought they'd pinpointed their master's true love, so they were pretty frosty with the ladies who showed up afterward.
When Nathalie and Lizzy finally arrived, looking like they'd been through the wringer, Ford spotted Nathalie in her country-style getup and turned to Dominick, wide-eyed, "Do we let her in?" Dominick, with his arms crossed, circled Nathalie like a hawk and then gestured for her to leave.
But Nathalie wasn't about to back down. She fired off a barrage of questions: "Is your master sick?" "Is it serious?" "Did you get a doctor?" "What did the doctor say?" Dominick cut her off, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Our master doesn't need your concern." Nathalie felt her heart sink. "Why not?" Dominick replied, "The woman who actually cares about our master is already here. She might be having a cozy chat with him right now." Nathalie was taken aback...
Her eyes fell on the fancy car parked out front, and she recognized it as Ashley's.

So, Nathan's affection for her had just faded away over time? And to think, she hadn't put much stock in love anyway.
Feeling embarrassed and proud, Nathalie decided not to stick around since Dominick had made things so crystal clear.
She turned and walked away, her spirits low.
Lizzy shot a glare at Dominick and Ford, fuming, "You've really upset my friend. Just wait till our master hears about this!" She hurried after Nathalie.
"Sis, are we just gonna leave it like this?" Lizzy was having none of it.
Nathalie was feeling pretty down: "Lizzy, didn't you notice? Ashley's here. They were probably following Nathan's orders to keep everyone else out." "But Sis, you're not just anyone," Lizzy insisted.
Nathalie sighed, "Maybe I wasn't before. But who knows about now? Feelings change, Lizzy." She wanted to tell Lizzy that, in another life, Nathan and Ashley were the real lovebirds. So any feelings Nathan had for her were justca mirage. Lizzy shook her head, determined, "Sis, our master won't change." Nathalie's past had always left her feeling a bit unworthy, like being unloved was just the way things usually went.
She climbed into the car, utterly spent, and shut her eyes to rest.
Lizzy, pouting, drove off at a snail's pace.

Nathan was stunned, his handsface quickly turning icy.
"Ford, Dominick."
Hearing their master's annoyed tone, they rushed in, practically tapping over themselves. "What's the deal?" As Nathan got dressed, making sure he was all covered up, he moved away from Ashley.
Seeing things go south, Dominick was quick to point fingers.
"Master, it was Ford. He said you had a special someone, that you were head over heels. That over finding out would be the cure, no medicine needed." Nathan frowned, "And then?" Dominick Went on, "So he sent out a
message on your social media.
Seeing Nathan's expression getm darker by the second, Dominick, panicked, ducked behind Ford, pulling at his ear nervously.
