An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 660

Edmund quickly greeted Natasha.

"Ms. Natasha," Abigail greeted her too.

Back when her father used to work for the Harmons, Abigail had her fair share of interactions with Natasha. She found her to be a thoughtful, caring, and gentle person who would occasionally give her gifts. It wasn't until Natasha went to Swinton to further her career that the two rarely met anymore.

"Abigail, I haven't seen you in two years! You've grown up into such a beautiful young lady!" Natasha praised with a light-hearted chuckle.

"You're the beautiful one, Ms. Natasha. There are countless ladies in Millsburg who envy your beauty." Abigail looked at her with admiration. Few could match Natasha's beauty and elegance in the whole of Balerno, much less Millsburg.

"How sweet." Natasha tapped Abigail's nose adoringly before looking back at the ruins behind them. "It seems like your house has been completely torn down. Why don't you go back with me to the Harmon estate and stay there for a few days? It'd be a good opportunity for us to catch up too."

"It wouldn't be right to trouble you like that, Ms. Natasha. We'll just find somewhere else to stay for a few days," Edmund declined.

"It's almost New Year's; where will you find a place to stay at a time like this? Besides, we have plenty of empty rooms at the Harmon estate, and you're familiar with the place too. What harm will it do to stay there for a couple of days?" Natasha didn't see any trouble with that at all.

"Well …" Edmund found himself in quite a dilemma.

"Ms. Natasha's right. If you're not going, I'll go myself!" Abigail huffed.

"Don't hesitate, Mr. Robinson. Come on, get in the car. There are so many of us waiting," Natasha urged.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you then, Ms. Natasha." Edmund looked around, and in the end, he nodded. It wouldn't be right to decline such a generous offer. If he refused any longer, it would come off as impolite.

After getting into the car, the four of them quickly left the village. Half an hour later, they arrived at the Harmon estate. Edmund and Abigail couldn't help but sigh when they saw the familiar sights through the car window. Having worked for the Harmons for so many years, the estate was akin to their second home.

After taking Edmund and Abigail to their lodgings, Natasha led Dustin to Hector's study room, and they stood outside the door.
