“Isn’t he the illegitimate son?”

“Oh, the son of that dead woman from the Larson family?”

When Natalie heard these words, she sneaked a sideways glance at Sebastian.

To her relief, he didn’t appear to care about the chatter.

If anything, he ignored everyone else and ushered her in another direction.

Taking his cue from him, Natalie mustered her courage and did her best to hold her head high.

Sebastian led her to an inner room, where a radiant old woman was sitting on a wheelchair.

“Hmmm, it’s good to see that you are here.” Nora nodded briefly at him before turning her attention to Natalie.

Sebastian put an arm around Natalie’s shoulders and pulled her forward.

“This is my wife, Natalie.” Natalie acknowledged the old woman by calling her Grandma, then offered her well wishes.

“You look so beautiful,” Nora crooned, seemingly in high spirits.

She nodded wistfully and sighed.

“You got married in the blink of an eye, huh? That’s good.I’m relieved.” Elissa watched the interaction from a distance.
