Chapter 753

Slowly, Vera’s lingering misgivings finally dissipated.

“Since the baby is doing well, I’m glad.”

Vera reluctantly took her eyes off the photo and added, “However, I still hope that you can persuade Laney to come back soon. As elders, we cannot help but worry when she is out there alone with her child.” Natalie nodded and assured, “Please don’t worry. I trust that Garrett and Laney can handle their relationship and take good care of the child.”

Having heard Natalie’s reassurance, Vera left, contented.

Watching her receding figure, Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.

“You’ve been working hard. Don’t think too much about Garrett and Laney’s matters. Let them solve it themselves,” Johanna said, patting her daughter’s back.

Natalie sighed and stated, “I can’t really intervene in their relationship issues, anyway.”

She suddenly held Johanna’s hand. “Mom, thank you. If you hadn’t come in time and brought in those ladies, I’m afraid Mrs. Harding wouldn’t have cooled down so soon.”

Natalie had anticipated that Vera would come looking for her, and she knew that Vera was troubled by the gossip spreading in their social circle.

She had told about all of this to Johanna, hoping that she could help come up with a solution, which would not only dissuade Vera from bothering Laney but also quash the gossip about the Harding family.
