The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 694

“Put me down. Hannah is at home.” Natalie felt shy. She covered her flushed
face after two futile attempts.

After placing her on the sofa. Brandon glanced at the sizzling dishes on the table.
“It seems like Hannah isn't at home.”

“How is this even possible? The dishes on the table are ready. As soon as I smell
them. I can tell they've been prepared by her.” Natalie rushed into the kitchen
with a bright smile after tidying up her messy hair to look for her. “Hannah is not
outgoing since she dislikes talking to strangers.”

Brandon smiled and remained silent He handed a letter on the table to her and
said, “There’s a letter here. She seems to have left it for you.”

Natalie peeked her head out, holding the door frame. She had looked in the
kitchen and the living room and hadn’t found Hannah She looked at the letter,
pursed her lips, and moved closer. It was indeed Hannah's handwriting—
“Natalie, I've decided to return to the village. The pumpkins at home are almost
ripe. I have to go back and collect them. I had a great time at your house. You
don't need to always worry about me. You have to take care of yourself. Please
help me finish my new clothes. Then send them over so I can wear them. When
people grow old, they prefer to return to their homeland. It's great that you want
me to move here and stay with you, but I'm still not used to living in a big city. I'm
going back. Take care and don’t overwork yourself. You're welcome to visit me
whenever you have the time.”

Natalie frowned as she read the last sentence, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Hannah wished she could be confident and happy all of the time. In her eyes,
she regarded Natalie as a child who would never grow up.

Brandon had never been a talkative person, and he was at a loss for words of
comfort at the moment.

Natalie's bright eyes were welling up with tears, making her look pitiful.

She pursed her lips, neatly folded the letter, and put it away. “She’s only been
here for a short while, but she can’t wait to leave. I still haven't caught up with
her.”

“Natalie? Brandon massaged her head, smiling bitterly. He had never seen such
a miserable expression on her face.

The atmosphere in the room was quite gloomy. He held Natalie's shoulder and
drew her a chair to sit on. He took out a few tissues and handed them to her.
“Don't worry. I've already sent someone to repair Hannah's house in the village,
and I've struck an agreement with her neighbors. Once a month, I will send them
some money and they will look after her for us. They will always receive payment
as long as Hannah is healthy and alive.”

Natalie inhaled and stared at him, holding a tissue in her hand “You've done a lot
of things behind my back. I'm not even aware of it.”

Brandon said with a smile, “I'm your husband. Of course, I have io do it for you.”
He placed the plate and fork in front of her and said, “Wipe your tears. Let's have
dinner first. Hannah cooked all the dishes. We can't let her efforts go to waste.”
On the first night after Hannah went back, Natalie didn’t sleep very well. She
woke up in the middle of the night several times, and couldn’t remember when
she actually fell asleep. The next morning, Elizabeth's repeated calls woke her
up. “Don’t forget you have something important to do today! Don't be late!”

This immediately served as a reminder to Natalie. She then quickly got ready and
headed to the studio. As soon as she walked in, she heard a lot of her coworker
stalking excitedly. “I heard that Tasha gave birth to a boy.”

“It's such a shame that I've already given her so many girl's toys It looks like she
won't be needing them anytime soon.”

“Do you have any photos of the baby? Tasha is such a gentle soul. I'm sure the
baby will be just like her.”

Then, with a smile on her face and her phone in hand, Natalie walked in and
said, “I have some photos. I asked Tasha for a few on my way here.”

The crowd of rushed over in excitement.

Elizabeth simply couldn't contain her curiosity. She craned her neck and said.
“Come on, Natalie. Don't keep us in suspense Let us have a look!”

Natalie then surrendered her phone to them. They were all instantly captivated
by how cute the baby was

Upon studying the pictures carefully, they noticed that he still had some wrinkles
on his forehead, which gave him a serious expression. They couldn't help but
laugh.

“This kid looks a lot like Tasha. I wonder who he got this serious look from.”

“His father, of course.” Elizabeth beamed with smiles as she scrolled through the
pictures.

The smile on Natalie's face, however, faded slightly It suddenly occurred to her
that the child's father, Seth, was still in prison Seth had treated Tasha terribly.
Fortunately for her, they got a divorce, and she parted ways with the Klein family.
She and the baby would go on to live a happy life together.

Natalie made sure not to bring him up to sour the prevailing good mood. On a
whim, she suddenly made a suggestion. “I heard that Tasha’s back home now.
How about we go pay her a visit during our lunch break?”

“That sounds good. We have a long lunch break, so we can go see how she’s
doing.” Many of her coworkers thought it was a good idea.

After this, some precise footsteps were heard from the direction of the door.
Mandy strode in arrogantly and said, “It looks like you're all idling about. What's
the topic of discussion this early morning?”

“It's personal and none of your business.” Natalie took her phone back and sat
down in her chair.

Mandy walked up to her with her brightly colored red lips twisted to one side She
looked around at everyone present and scoffed, “Well, since it’s a personal issue,
don't bring it up here in the workplace. Don't distract your colleagues just
because you're going to be an indie designer soon and don’t have to focus on
the studio anymore. Draco won't be coming in today, so he’s asked me to
supervise. Now, everyone get back to work!”

They were all left speechless as they quietly returned to their desks.

In no time, it was lunch break, and they all packed their bags and got ready to
leave.

Mandy then walked in, twisting her slim waist with every step. “What's going on?
Why are all the computers off? Is the power out?”

Natalie stood up, gave her a cold look and said, “It's almost lunchtime. Whatever
we're off to do doesn’t concern you.”

As this exchange was ongoing, Elizabeth grabbed her handbag and stood up.
“It's a private matter, and we don't exactly have a close enough relationship with
you to tell you all about it, Mandy.”

With that, the two of them and many of their coworkers left the studio, with
Mandy's eyes trailing them.

“You... You're being very disrespectful!” Mandy wagged a finger at them as they
trooped out. with her finger trembling out of anger. She gritted her teeth and
eventually looked away. They must be up to something.

Wasn't Natalie going to open up a studio of her own? Did she plan on poaching
the employees here?

Mandy suddenly had an idea. She quickly dashed to her car and managed to
catch up with them.
