“Lucas, regardless of what the head of Aurelius Dominion Group looks like, he’s at the top of the Aurelis charity list. He’s dedicated to philanthropy and has helped a great number of people. A person like that can’t be judged by their appearance, understand?”
Terence was scrambling to salvage his image, determined to leave a noble impression in Natalie’s mind.
“That’s right. I heard the head of Aurelius Dominion Group isn’t just involved in all sorts of charities and has built many schools, but he also donates to orphanages every year and has provided a lot of equipment to various schools. This year, he even donated a lot of equipment to our research institute. He really is a great man.”
Hearing Natalie call him a great man made Terence’s heart soar. The two hundred million dollar donation to the institute had clearly been worth it.
“Daddy, Natalie wasn’t complimenting you. Why do you look so pleased with yourself?”
Caught by Lucas, Terence looked a little flustered.
“The Lockwood Group used to do a lot of charity work too. While we couldn’t match Aurelius Dominion Group, we never shied away from giving back, either. If Natalie has a soft spot for men who give back, well—I’ve spent my life doing exactly that.”
Lucas said, “Daddy, you’re getting better and better at this. You’re always trying to wiggle your way into Natalie’s heart.”
Terence and Natalie both laughed, though they were a bit embarrassed.
“You two, hurry up and eat. Those uninvited guests delayed us, and now the food is getting cold.”
“I’ll go heat it up.”
“You don’t have to. I’ll do it.”
“I told you—I want to be the one to put dinner on the table for you, every single night.”
With that, Terence went to reheat the dishes. Natalie watched him, struck by his proactiveness.
Natalie shook her head. “You really don’t have to work so hard. No matter what, I’m not going to leave you. My salary isn’t high, and I can’t give you the luxurious life you used to have, but it’s more than enough to take care of our family.”
Natalie was just worried about Terence getting hurt. She wanted to comfort him the way he comforted her, to soothe his worries.
She didn't want him to feel insecure.
Terence looked at Natalie. Her worried expression meant that Angela’s words must have gotten to her.
Lucas was smirking on the side. He had just added a little fuel to the fire. He knew Natalie cared about his daddy and his feelings.
Terence said, “Did what Angela said earlier upset you? Don’t pay any attention to her. Leaving the Lockwood Group was my own choice. Your children are my choice. Wait... did you just say you want to take care of me?”
Terence had only been focused on reassuring Natalie, but now her words suddenly registered.

I think Terence must know something isn't right about Angela, that's why he agreed to figure it out....
Marie needs to be gone, she has caused enough trouble for Natalie. This is getting boring!...
This fiasco needs to end. Natalie and Terrance need to be together and in my mind somehow those twins are Natalie’s....
Time for Marie to get her end, this has gone on way too long, time to move on. It’s getting boring....
Payback time. Waiting for chapters 321 onwards!...
I love the sarcastic comebacks. Quite amusing!...
