233 Wayne’s Getting Engaged to Someone Else?
As Matthew struggled, his drawing board fell to the floor and made a loud noise,
He cried out on Wayne’s shoulder. Seeing his sad face, the servants in the courtyard looked heartbroken as they pitied him.
Natalie couldn’t bear to see him cry. She mustered up all her courage to run to Wayne and stood in front of him. She said, “Hey, where are you taking Matthew?”
Wayne glanced at her and said, “Get out!”
Natalie gritted her teeth and said, “Hey! I’m your aunt. Show me some respect, please.”
Wayne looked irritated as soon as he heard her words and then said, “Natalie, stay out of my way.”
Natalie suddenly lost her cool after hearing his words. As she moved aside, she muttered, “Oh, I’m sorry, I was just kidding. You can go now.”
Wayne then went away without a word. Natalie felt upset as she stared at the broken drawing board on the ground.
“I heard Peter wants Wayne and Miss Wilson to get engaged,” the servants in the corridor whispered as she bent down to pick up the board.
“Huh? What? But I remember him introducing Miss Gabriel to all his relatives some time ago!”
“Oops! You know, something horrible has happened to the Gabriel family recently. And Wayne seems to have broken up with her. Did you hear that Peter let Richard run the group2 Wayne’s career will be ruined if he doesn’t marry Miss Wilson.”
“Yes, you’re right! Men value their careers, let alone someone like Wayne.”
Natalie heard all the gossip of the servants. After picking up the drawing board, she went back to her room and made a call.
“Hello? Tammy, it’s me! Is your mother home?”
“No, I’m not looking for her. But I want to talk to you about something. Listen, could you tell your mom to forgive Wayne? Otherwise, their relationship will be screwed.”
Hanging up the phone, Natalie felt melancholy. Honestly, she knew she was the least valued person in the entire Wright family. Even though she was Peter’s adoptive daughter, Peter would be extremely generous to raise her till the age of eighteen because, after all, she was adopted.
Natalie was still young. But, because she spent a lot of time in an orphanage as a child, she knew whether her circumstances were good for her or not.
As he grew older, Peter might not be able to support her for very long.
Wayne was certainly the future owner of the Wright family. But, the two of them didn’t get along with each other. So, at this point, the future hostess of the house could decide her
She liked Anna, as she was a delicate and lovely woman. Also, she and Tammy were really getting along well. Natalie would prefer Anna to marry Wayne over Miss Wilson. So, she was on the same side as Tammy.
However, she felt that Tammy sounded as if she didn’t like her ideas on the phone. Why did Tammy change her mind so quickly? Natalie thought to herself.
Tammy didn’t go to school these days since she had a cold.
After Anna had made lunch, she asked Tammy to the dining room. However, she noticed that the little girl looked upset.
Anna touched her forehead and said, “What’s wrong, honey? You don’t feel well? But, it seems that you don’t have a fever.”
Tammy reached out her arms and begged her mother to hold her in a childlike voice that was slightly muffled because she had a cold.
She leaned on her mother’s shoulder and said, “Mommy, if you don’t marry Wayne, is there any way you can bring Matthew back to us?”
Anna froze and asked, “What? Do you mean Wayne’s getting engaged to someone else? To who?”
