Chapter 366 Mom…!
Everything was too sudden.
Only after listening to Heather did Natalie learn why the older woman suddenly revealed all this
information to her.
It turned out that her twin had been found!
Two years!
After enduring torment and suffering for two years, they had finally found him. Heather was overjoyed!
“Nat.”
“Let’s go back.” Natalie thought for a moment and spoke. At this moment, Heather should be eager to
return home.
Heather nodded. “Yes, let’s.”
She quickly instructed someone to pack their things. However, when she looked at Natalie, her eyes
flickered with worry.
“Why don’t you come back with me?”
Since Cedric had already found out about the child, there was no longer a need to hide in Snow City.
Natalie furrowed her eyebrows slightly and nodded.
On the plane, Heather held Luna in her arms, her eyes full of love. Natalie now understood why Heather.
had shown such excessive favoritism–it was because Luna was her actual granddaughter.
In the past two years, Heather had focused her thoughts either on Natalie or on Luna.
Before, Natalie couldn’t explain it, but now everything made sense.
Nat
“Hmm?”
“don’t know how to face him!” Heather suddenly spoke with a choked voice.
Didn’t know how to face him?
Natalie didn’t know what to say about this. Just like how she was now, she didn’t know how to face Heather either. She was only here because she felt the older woman needed her.
She hugged Heather.
Heather leaned on her chest and sighed. “No wonder people say a daughter’s comfort is the most meaningful, but they have to be biologically yours.”
In the past, she had never felt this way with Winona.
It wasn’t that Winona was bad.
at that t
It was just that, she wholeheartedly loved Winona and arranged everything for her.
However, in the end, Winona’s temperament drifted further and further away from theirs, and she refused to follow whatever arrangements Stephen and Heather had set out for her.
Looking back now, it was only expected that everything Heather did had been counterproductive.
After all, Winona wasn’t biologically theirs.
Natalie was different. Since she came to the Jarvis family, everything she did was in accordance with
their expectations…!
Heather also knew that Natalie was sensible and was concerned about Stephen’s health. It seemed that a
child from the same bloodline was indeed different.
“It’s okay,” Natalie said.
“Do you think he’ll hate me?” Heather asked.
“He’ll understand, right?” Natalie replied.
He should, right?
Honestly, Natalie found it somewhat hard to digest after suddenly receiving such news. Perhaps it was because the time she spent with her parents had been relatively good, so even after going through so
much later on, she didn’t harbor too much resentment.
She couldn’t even bring herself to hate Stephen and Heather.
After all, in her memory.
Since Stephen found her, he and Heather had tried their best to be good to her, even when she didn’t
Now that she knew everything, talking about how well they had treated her was even more unnecessary.
“I don’t even know if he’s been living well all these years.” Heather’s usually strong attitude softened when she spoke about this, and there was a hint of discomfort in her tone.
She hit the nail on the head.
In what kind of environment did that child grow up? That was the most important thing. If he grew up in an extremely harsh environment, would he… hate them?
“If those circumstances have already caused hatred in the child’s heart, then these things are hard to
predict,” Heather continued.
“I’m not too worried. Since he was willing to come home with Uncle, it means
“Nat”
Heather suddenly interrupted Natalie’s trail of thoughts. Natalie looked at Heather, and there was a sad look on the older woman’s face that made Natalie’s heart skip a beat.
“What’s wrong?” Natalie asked.
Having spent so much time with her, Natalie couldn’t help but feel distressed watching Heather like this.
Heather took Natalie’s hand and hesitantly said, “Can you… call me Mom?”
Natalie stiffened instantly.
Mom?
Natalie couldn’t react for a moment. After all, everything happened too quickly. Even though she felt sorry
for Heather, she hadn’t completely processed this reality yet.
So now, when Heather looked at her with expectant eyes, she felt a bit overwhelmed.
Seeing Natalie’s stunned expression, Heather’s eyes flashed with sadness.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have rushed you!”
No one knew…
Heather had been trying to be good to Natalie for the past two years, hoping she could be called Mom.
Every time she heard Natalie talk about how good her parents were to her, she felt a mix of emotions
Gratitude because they were so good to Natalie, allowing her to live like a little princess even when Heather wasn’t around. But she was also afraid because they were too good, Natalie wouldn’t accept
Heather.
Looking at the sorrow in Heather’s eyes, Natalie’s mind was buzzing. She… couldn’t stand this side of Heather the most. That sadness pierced her petite embrace.
As she held Heather in her arms, her warmth seemed to become Heather’s sole reliance in an instant.
“If it makes you feel better, Mom… Don’t be sad, okay?”
Although it was a bit sudden, it wasn’t an identity Natalie couldn’t accept.
The word instantly made Heather’s world collapse.
Why wasn’t Natalie having a hard time accepting it?
