The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 377

Staring at her phone, Nathalie desperately wanted to call Fabian and demand answers. But without concrete proof, how could she confront

him?

Her mind was a chaotic mess.

The phone vibrated again.

Lance: [Freddy and Fabian are playing a complicated game.]

Just that single cryptic sentence.

Was he trying to warn her?

Nathalie pressed her lips into a thin line. After a long moment of silence, she set the phone down.

She couldn’t just accuse them blindly.

But now that the seed of doubt was planted, she would be on her guard. The next time she saw them, she would casually fish for information.

It suddenly dawned on her that Fabian had been suspiciously absent lately.

Ever since the trial was postponed, she hadn’t received a single message

from him.

What exactly was he so busy with?

Maybe she should give him a call and test the waters.

Nathalie dialed Fabian’s number.

It rang three times before he picked up.

“Hey, Nathalie,” Fabian’s voice floated through the speaker, warm and laced with his usual smile.

“What have you been up to lately? I feel like you’ve fallen off the face of the earth,” she asked casually.

Fabian let out a heavy sigh. “Family drama. The internal power struggle has been getting vicious lately. I’ve been completely sidelined, yet somehow still dragged into the crossfire. It’s been an absolute nightmare.”

Nathalie mentally filed that away. “Are you free tonight? Want to grab

dinner?”

Fabian chuckled softly. “Sure. Where to?”

“I’ll text you the address.”

“Perfect.”

Hanging up, a calculating gleam flickered in Nathalie’s eyes.

During their brief chat, she hadn’t detected a single hint of deception. He sounded just as relaxed and friendly as he always did.

She’d have to observe him closely tonight.

That evening, Nathalie told Grandma she was eating out and grabbed her

keys.

She and Fabian arrived at the upscale restaurant almost simultaneously.

Seeing her, Fabian flashed a bright smile. “Talk about perfect timing. We practically pulled up together.”

Nathalie smiled back. “We really did. Come on, let’s head inside.”

She had booked a private room by the window, offering a sweeping view of the city’s glittering skyline over the river.

Once they ordered, Fabian leaned forward. “How have things been on your end? Still fighting tooth and nail with Lance over the divorce?”

Nathalie let out a dramatic sigh. “It’s been a disaster. It’s just one
