My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9 Forced Back to Home

"You!"

Philip was infuriated, "I'll ask you one last time. Are you coming back or not!"

"I'm not!"

"Alright, if you say so! Then don't blame me if your grandma should punish you!"

Philip felt hopeless talking to Natalia. He thought she was so cold to him all the time. Then he just hung up the phone.

Natalia did not mind, either. She just gave a cold sneer, put the phone away, and continued with the food she just ordered.

In the meanwhile, Clara was sitting in the restaurant, and she knit her brows seeing the angry Philip coming from the outside.

"How is it going? Did you let her know? Is she coming back or not?"

Philip snapped, "Will she even listen to me? She's really a grown-up now, and she won't ever come back again if you don't beg her yourself."

The face of Clara suddenly darkened.

The plates on the table all bounced up slightly with a slap.

"Insolent!"

Everyone in the room was shocked. Clara had been running the Dawson family ever since the old Mr. Dawson passed away and her position had been higher than ever in these years. Everyone in the family was somewhat afraid of her.

Aleena signaled her daughter with her eyes, who was sitting just in front of her.

Jessica hurriedly pick up the bowl of soup in front of her and walked up to Clara, and she said softly, "Grandma, don't be angry. Your health matters the most."

Aleena also added, "That's right, Mom. Let's not force her if she does not want to come back. We can just find another way. Don't be angry."

Clara sneered, "Funny! Is it ever up to her? Let me tell you, she would just have to come back this time. I'll see how she dare go against me!"

At that, she raised her hand and asked for David, the butler of the family.

"David, go find the whereabout of Natalia, and send someone to tell her, if she's not coming back tonight, I will just burn everything her mother has left her, and she will get nothing!"

David paled, and said hurriedly, "Yes, ma'am."

...

In the afternoon, Natalia just finished the last delivery order and was about to close the store.

However, just when she got out of the store, she saw David waiting there.

Since David had been with the family for over a decade, she sure knew him.

Actually, she got along quite well with him in the past, that is, before Aleena and Jessica were taken into the family by her father. While she would not think of him as good friend of hers, they respected each other much.

Now they met again, and thinking of the call of Philip at noon, her face was cold.

"Miss Dawson, I have been waiting for you."

David walked to her, while she just cast a cold glance at him, with the key for the store in her hand.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Pennyworth."

"Yeah, it's been a long time. Miss Dawson is getting more and more beautiful. If Mrs. Dawson were still alive, she would certainly be very pleased."

Natalia curled her lips, "If my mother were still here, which side would you take? Would you stand with my mother, or with Aleena?"

It was obviously unexpected for David, since he stayed silent for a while.

But Natalia did not mean to make it difficult for him, either. She just gave a light smile, "Just kidding. Don't worry."

David felt a chill run down his spine just now and could only force a bitter smile.

"So what do you want?"

David hurriedly said, "Miss Dawson, the old Mrs. Dawson wants me to take you home."

Natalia paused for a while, her eyes still cold, and she curled her lips, "I won't go back. Didn't my father tell you?"

"He did. But the old Mrs. Dawson said ... that if you insist, she will take care of everything your mother has left for you."
