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.

"Yeah." Natalie nodded.

After she heard the news from Clyde, she couldn't calm her heart for a long time today. So, she didn't go to work in '

the studio.

Stephen looked at Natalie, then sighed and said, "Nat, when your mother thought she lost you, we've been suffering all along." n n "We didn't even know you had a brother!" Natalie felt suffocated at the revelation.

Rebecca wanted to take Luna away, and Natalie wished to tear the older woman apart with her bare hands. She wouldn't lose Luna.

It showed how a mother's love for her child was irreplaceable.

So, Heather must have suffered tremendously upon losing her

children.

"Especially because Winona hadn't been obedient these years." Stephen's tone was full of regret when mentioning Winona.

Winona had been their only child for years, and they had treated her like a treasure. They had loved Winona so much, only to discover she was someone else's daughter...! When that happened, it was obvious how much pain Heather endured.

That was why none of them dared to intervene, even though they knew Winona was suffering... because Heather wouldn't allow it! It was cruel for their enemy to take their daughter away and leave his daughter with them to raise.

Heather and Stephen had invested a lot of time and effort into Winona over the years, but Winona never cherished it; leading to the current situation.

Now, seeing Clyde able to handle everything, Stephen and
