My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 What Mother Had Left Behind

Jessica's face stiffened, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"How can you talk about me like that? Natalia"

Aleena also forced a smile, "Natalia, your sister meant well. Why don't you two just talk to each other honestly? You can solve any misunderstanding you have, and we are still a family."

"A family? Sorry! Anyone in this room can be my family except for you two. Besides, I'm the only daughter of my mother. I don't have a sister. Don't talk nonsense, or I'm afraid my mom will come to find you some day."

"AHH-"

Jessica was shocked by her fierce look and dove into Aleena's arms.

At this moment, a stern growl sounded from the stairway.

"Natalia!"

Natalia looked over and saw Clara walking down the stairs with a crane.

Clara might be old, but she looked high-spirited with her sharp eyes. Staring at Natalia, she put on her usual gloomy face, and while she was not really angry just yet, she looked intimidating enough.

Natalia, however, was not afraid of her, and she just stood there coolly, with her cold eyes and noble aura.

Clara just hated it when she was like this. Her aloofness, her pride and her stubbornness all reminded Clare of her deceased mother, as if she had the blood of unparalleled nobility.

Clara snorted coldly, "What did you just say?"

Natalia did not even bother to answer her. She's tired and all these years' arguing had already made it meaningless.

Were it a few years ago, she might just argue with her for her mother.

But now, she had known that nobody in this family would ever give a damn to her mother. Why bother, anyway.

Since Natalia remained silent, Clara thought she was scared, and she also calmed down.

She then looked over to Jessica, who was still trembling in her mother's arms just like a startled deer, and she face could not help but ease up a little more.

"Fine. Since you are back now, let's not talk about the past anymore. Let's have dinner in the dining hall."

At that, she directly went to the dining hall without waiting for them.

Natalia knit her brows, but eventually she followed her.

"Natalia, knowing that you will be back tonight, I have asked Mrs. Kylee to prepare your favorite dishes for you. Have a try now!"

The moment they got to the table, Aleena just could not wait to introduce some dishes to her.

Natalia held back the disgust in her heart, but she did not eat, and did not answer her either.

Philip instantly felt enraged, seeing her sitting still coldly.

"What? Is it just so difficult for you to eat something? You show no respect for Aleena. You should thank her at least."

Natalia remained silent.

Though she did not want to argue, she could never be nice to a woman who had drove her mother to suicide, let alone sharing a table with her.

She put down her fork, and said coldly, "No need, I am not hungry. What do you want exactly? Let's go straight to the point."

Clara looked at her and a flash of shrewdness could be seen from her eyes.

This time, she was not angry. Instead, she just said in a grim tone, "I can see your hatred for this family. Fine, we won't force you. We just want you to know something today."

"The day after tomorrow would be the birthday of your sister. There would be a birthday party. We have already discussed it with the Miller family. They will announce their relationship at the party. And we need you there."

"Should anyone ask, you just say it is your sister who is engaged to Shawn at the beginning. That would be good for you too. Now that you have broken up, don't let the past influence your life."

Natalia stared at her in shock.

She never expected they had tried so hard to ask her back just for this.

She turned to Aleena, and after a while, she suddenly laughed in a low voice.

"So you mean, you want me to be a shield. A steppingstone for their engagement?"
