Chapter 747 The Life of a Recluse After Clyde left, Stephen returned.

Natalie didn't go to work today. When Stephen saw her, his expression turned tender. €& "Come with me to the study," Stephen said, ascending the steps, with Natalie hurrying after him.

In the study, Stephen glanced at Natalie, hesitant to speak.

"I already know," Natalie said.

"You do?" Stephen raised his brows.
