Chapter 260 Their Own Secrets
Stephen’s words did alleviate Natalie’s tension.
Over the past two years, Stephen’s approval of her and Irwin had put some pressure on her.
As Stephen mentioned, she had been hurt…!!
Natalie was cautious and even resistant to many things deep within.
They all knew those were Natalie’s wounds, and the fact that she could suppress them without erupting
showed she could handle it and let go.
But letting go didn’t mean the wounds were healed.
She needed time.

“Irwin Frazier.”
