Chapter 286 Skilled Demeanor

It turned out she had never truly understood him!

When Natalie had been by his side, the deeply furrowed brows she used to see probably weren’t solely due to the Johnson family’s internal conflicts.

There could have been something deeper behind it.

“Ms. Walker, are you alright?”

Wendy looked at Natalie with concern.

Upon hearing this, Wendy’s expression noticeably stiffened. Natalie sensed her unease and furrowed lier brows

“Is it difficult?”

Natalie sighed.
