Chapter 74

That evening, Natalie hurriedly made her way to the Wilson’s residence, her heart filled with anxiety and anticipation.

As Natalie stepped inside the house, Mary, the friendly housekeeper, welcomed her with a warm smile. “Mrs. Wilson, you’re here”

Mary could not help but feel a sense of confusion. Today was not usual for gatherings at the Wilson’s residence, and she could not help but notice that Trevon was nowhere to be seen.

Natalie smiled warmly at Mary and replied, “Hello, Mary. Is Mr. Theo in his study? I have something important to discuss with him. Is he available at the moment?”

“Sure, he’s upstairs. Just knock on his door, Mary replied. “Mr. Theo has finished dinner and is currently practicing calligraphy in his study,”

Natalie went directly to the study and gently knocked on the door. A deep voice resonated from within, saying, “Please,

come in.”

His lack of surprise was palpable as Theo laid his eyes upon Natalie, who was standing at the door with poise and grace. It was evident that he had anticipated her impending visit.

However, he was caught off guard by the timing of her visit.

A flicker of surprise danced across Theo’s face as he greeted Natalie. “My dear, what brings you here?” he exclaimed. “Come in, come in. Have you had dinner?”

Natalie responded politely with a white lie. “Mr. Theo, I’ve already had dinner, she claimed. Deep down, however, she harbored a greater purpose, knowing that indulging in a substantial meal would only hinder her as she braced herself for the weighty matters ahead.

“Mr. Theo, are you busy? I want to discuss something with you,’ she expressed, conveying a sense of urgency.

Natalie had always been a person unaccustomed to compromise. She persevered through countless days because of her deep love and loyalty toward Theo. However, amidst her unyielding nature, she found one aspect elusive-her own heart, a force beyond her control, dictating its desires and yearnings.

Instead of offering an immediate response, Theo shifted gears, diverting the conversation to a different topic altogether. A nostalgic smile played on his lips as he suggested, “It’s been some time since we last played chess together. How about joining me for a few rounds today?”

Complying with his request, Natalie gracefully sat at the chess table, radiating respect and affection.
