As Natalie was held tightly by her mother, she could clearly feel the tremors in Charlotte’s chest.

She slowly raised her arms, returning the embrace and gently patting her mother’s back.

This silent comfort only made Charlotte’s tears flow more freely.

William Mitchell stood to the side, his eyes red and his lips trembling slightly.

He stepped forward, placing a broad hand on the shoulders of his wife and daughter. His voice was deep and raspy. “It’s good to have you back… so good. You’re home now, Natalie.”

Natalie lifted her head from Charlotte’s shoulder and looked at her father.

“Yes. I’m home, Dad,” Natalie said softly.

That single word “Dad” warmed his heart so much that he had to turn away to discreetly wipe his eyes.

The five Mitchell brothers stood nearby, watching this moving yet heartbreaking scene. There wasn’t a dry eye among them.

The butler and servants also bowed their heads, moved by the master’s hard-won family reunion.

It took a long while for Charlotte to settle down, but she still gripped Natalie’s hand tightly, refusing to let go.

She lifted her tear-streaked face to study her daughter, her fingers trembling as she brushed over Natalie’s eyes and cheeks, as if making sure this wasn’t a dream.

“Thin… you’re too thin…”

She murmured heart-brokenly, tears welling up again. “All these years, you’ve suffered so much.”

“I’m fine, Mom.”

Natalie let her mother look her over, her tone gentle. “It’s all in the past.”

“Yes, exactly, it’s in the past!” William nodded vigorously. His voice regained its usual steadiness, though a hint of a sob remained.

“From now on, with your father, mother, and brothers here, no one will ever mistreat you again! The Mitchell home is forever yours!”

“Yeah.”

Looking at the genuine love and resolve in her parents’ eyes, the last bit of distance Natalie felt toward these strangers quietly vanished.

“It’s windy out here, let’s head inside.”

“These are letters I wrote to you. Starting from the first month you went missing, I wrote one every single month, without fail. Sometimes… when I missed you too much to stand it, I’d write several in a month.”

Natalie saw the elegant handwriting: To My Beloved Daughter, with the month and year noted in the bottom right corner.

She reached out to pull one out, but Charlotte stopped her, looking a bit embarrassed. “Read them when you’re less busy!”

Natalie licked her lips and gave a small laugh. “Okay, Mom.”

Then William stepped forward. He didn’t produce a physical gift but instead handed over a document.

“Natalie, this is the gift I prepared for you.”

Natalie took it, it was a stock transfer agreement.

“Ten percent of the shares in the Mitchell Group. Once you sign this, it’s all yours.”

The Mitchell Group had a massive market value and a complex structure, ten percent was enough to put the holder into the core decision-making circle with immense influence.

As a father’s gift, the scale and the sentiment behind it were far beyond ordinary.

William paused, watching his daughter with a gaze that was both gentle and solemn.

“I don’t know if you’re interested in business management.”

“If you are, and if you’re willing to learn, the family will pour every resource into training you. I will way for you to become the future successor of the Mitchell Group.”

“The Mitchells have both the power and the will to support you in reaching whatever heights you desire.”

His meaning couldn’t be clearer-if his daughter wanted it, she could be the future captain of the ship.

He shifted his tone, becoming even more gentle.

“Of course, if your heart isn’t in it and you prefer other fields, like writing, art, or whatever else you want to do, I support you fully.”

“This ten percent is enough to ensure you never have to worry about money for the rest of your life. You can enjoy the finest lifestyle and pursue your dreams without any concerns.”
