A Cue for Love novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133 The Oriole And The Mantis

“Pfft. Why would you mention her on such a joyous occasion?” Thomas downed the glass of red wine in his hand and glanced at Yvonne. “That girl has a wild streak and does not know how to treasure herself. She does not deserve to be my daughter…”

Yvonne gave him an apologetic smile in response. “Yes, you’re right. That girl lived with her mother in the countryside since young. There’s no way she could amount to anything honorable.”

Although Yvonne was a mistress who later became the lady of the house, she treated Yara like her own child and loved her more dearly than she loved her daughter, Melissa.

“Unlike Yara, who grew up by our side with first-rate education, talents, preferences…”

At the mention of Yara, Thomas’ tightly knitted brows relaxed a little.

“Yara is indeed exceptional.”

“It’s because of who raised her,” Yvonne announced smugly. “After she marries into the Bowers family, your birthday celebrations will be as grand as Old Mr. Watsons.”

Everyone in Thomas’ family beamed with delight.

Natalie watched the happy family full of smiles from a spot not far away as she ate her chocolate truffle cake.

She was always an outsider in this family.

She had tried desperately to be part of the family in the past but ended up being ostracized.

Now, she felt nothing but hatred and disdain left for them.

She remembered how Thomas and Yvonne ridiculed her when she returned to the Nichols family residence with her pregnancy test results.

Melissa even deliberately tripped her, hoping to make her fall down the stairs.

These painful experiences were buried deeply in her memory.

Yet, although they were buried, she had never forgotten them.

As Natalie reminisced the past, Belle appeared before her, clinging onto Ross’ arm.

The two of them looked at each other, their minds racing.

However, Ross interrupted them, exclaiming with wide eyes, “Natalie? Why are you here?”
