Chapter 263 Unnecessary concern
Natalie was draped with a soft woollen blanket that nearly covered her heels, and a slight hint of the trim of her black long dress could be seen under the wrap.
She didn’t want others to notice her so she took a relatively quiet path along the stone
road.
Mainly, she didn’t want to be seen by Lara or Julian.
She flew all the way and soon approached the appointed place she agreed previously
with Hugh.
Natalie stopped and looked left and right, but did not spot any sign of Hugh’s car, and
there was no one around.
Hadn’t he come yet?
She looked down at the time. Hugh was already two minutes late at the appointed time.
Natalie pursed her lips and stood alone under the lights, quietly waiting for Hugh’s car.
Under the dim yellow light, the woman’s already painting-like eyes and eyebrows were
even more aesthetic.
After all, it was wintry time now. The temperature was quite low, especially at night, and
there was no other human in the surrounding.
Natalie was wearing a thin dress and couldn’t hold up in this temperature.
Fortunately, that person just gave her a woollen blanket, otherwise, she wouldn’t have
been able to survive in this weather…
A hint of gratitude flashed in Natalie’s heart.
To keep out the cold, she tucked her hands into the warm woollen blanket and pressed
them tightly against her chest.
The thick woollen soft blanket was greatly delicate, with even the outermost corners meticulously made, and at first glance, it was worth a lot.
Natalie gazed down at the blanket tightly wrapped around her, looking thoughtful..
Perhaps… when Hugh arrived, she should return this woollen blanket and thank the man
who offered her that blanket.
Although she didn’t know his name, he could be considered a help to herself.
Natalie was contemplating as a strong light flashed in front of her, followed by the
sound of a car whistle.
It was Hugh’s car.
Natalie quickly waved to the car.
Hugh was quite agile.
He stopped the car and then, carrying a bag of clothes in his arms and another bag in
his hand, strode to Natalie’s side.
Natalie subconsciously went to pick up the clothes in the man’s hand.
Before touching the dress, the man suddenly took back his hand.
Natalie was taken aback and looked at Hugh suspiciously, “What’s the matter?”
Hugh didn’t speak, nor did he look up at her. Instead, he put the clothes in his hand aside.
and took out a blanket from his bag.
“This …
Natalie stared at him in amazement.
Hugh lowered his head and instinctively pulled the blanket over Natalie’s body.
Hugh was a person who followed orders and never questioned the orders of his
employer.
He did whatever the employer said.
Correspondingly, if the employer did not require it, he would never take an extra step.
He never went beyond his bounds.
Because he knew that doing more things would not bring him any extra benefits.
But when Natalie called him today, he didn’t know why……
He felt like being bewitched and packed an extra blanket.
Natalie did not make this request……
Hugh lightly pursed her thin lips and tossed out her thoughts in her heart.
His hand had just reached halfway when he suddenly noticed that there had been a furry
blanket wrapped around the woman tightly.
Hugh was surprised and his hand paused in the air.
Natalie already had a blanket on her body……
So what to do with the one in his hand?
Hugh lowered his head to look at the blanket he was holding in his hand, and emotions.
were concealed in his eyes.
He suddenly felt a bit regretful.
Why did he reach out…… for this blanket at that time?
He simply thought it was night now, Natalie standing alone at the intersection, and that
she may be cold……
Now, Hugh was unsure somewhat about his thoughts.
He didn’t seem to care too much about his boss.
She seemed to have a lot of people caring about her… his concern for her appeared
rather unnecessary.
Anyways, he was simply working for her as a bodyguard.
Natalie did not notice the emotional changes in Hugh’s heart.
She only saw Hugh’s movements. So, she raised her eyebrows and joked, “Did you even
bring me a blanket?”
“I didn’t expect you to be quite careful.”
She looked at Hugh with a smile as if trying to tease him.
Hugh seemed to be in a low mood. He moved his eyes elsewhere and avoided looking at
Natalie
“What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
He pursed his lips and put away the blanket in his hand, then bent down, picked up the
dress that had just been put down, and handed it to Natalie’s arms.
“What’s the matter? Who made you unhappy?” Natalie noticed Hugh was sort of upset.
She felt a bit strange in her heart.
When Hugh got off the car just now, she noticed he was wearing a poker face,
emotionless like a brick.
That was what Hugh usually looked like. He didn’t display his feelings, no matter
whether he was happy or not.
But now Hugh seemed to be different, there appeared something amiss with him.
Hugh pursed his lips and didn’t speak a word.
He just thrust the dress into Natalie’s hand.
Natalie had no choice but to hurriedly take the dress handed over by the man.
After the woman took the dress, Hugh put the blanket back into the bag. He picked the bag up expressionlessly and was about to leave.
He didn’t say a word and his attitude was indifferent.
Natalie raised her hand and stopped the man, “Hey… Hugh, wait a minute.”
Hugh’s footsteps paused, but he didn’t turn his head around.
Natalie walked up to him and said, “Since you’ve brought the blanket… How can you take
it away?
This was the first time Hugh had taken the initiative to care about her.
Usually, Hugh looked serious and didn’t pay attention to any teasing or talking to him.
Now that he took the initiative, Natalie didn’t want to waste the opportunity.
“Give it to me,” said Natalie.
But Hugh shook his head and quickly walked to the car, opened the trunk, and threw the
bag containing the blanket into it.
A series of actions flowed smoothly, giving Natalie no chance to speak.
Natalie’s hand reached out in the air, and after a second or so, she could only obediently
put it down.
There was no place to change clothes outside, so Natalie could only find a place to
change clothes inside the building where the communication meeting was held.
She held her clothes in her arms and called out to a nearby waiter.
“Hello, may I ask if there is a place specifically for changing clothes here? If so, could
you please show me where it is? I need to change clothes.”
The waiter looked up at her.
Then he shook his head and said, “Sorry, Miss. I’m only responsible for receiving guests.
I’m not sure if there’s a place to change clothes.”
Natalie’s eyes flashed a hint of disappointment, and then politely nodded, “Okay, thank
you anyway.”
She then turned to several more waiters, but their answers were all very consistent. They
all didn’t know where to change clothes.
Just as Natalie was struggling, a voice came from behind.
“I know the place to change clothes, Miss Spears. Come with me.”
Natalie turned around at the sound.
After seeing the woman’s face, her complexion changed.
“What? Don’t you want to come with me?” Lara frowned at her.
Natalie had no expression on her face, and after weighting in her heart, she smiled and
Get Bapt
said, “Of course not.”
“Then please take me there, Miss Turner.”
It was about time for the legendary doctor of the Spears family to come out onto the
stage. She couldn’t wear this outfit to meet her grandfather anyway……
It had been three years since she met her grandfather last time. She should at least be presentable and refined.
This was the basic respect for the elderly.
Natalie had no other choice but to follow Lara if she wanted to change clothes.
Hearing Natalie’s answer, Lara raised her eyebrows, “You should’ve just followed me
earlier before.”
“I was still talking to Julian, but you have left on her own. Others might think you were hiding from me, Miss Spears!”
“I am not a fierce beast… I won’t hurt you.”
Natalie smiled politely.
“You’d better not hurt me.”
