The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 524

"Think back to the beginning," Winnie continued smoothly. "I was the one who placed you in that orphanage and tipped off the reporters to find Daniel and Camilla. If I hadn't, they never would have taken responsibility for you. You were brought into the Blair Family and lived as a privileged daughter for over a decade. You enjoyed all the wealth and luxury, and you even married Jackson, the eldest son of Cabinda's most powerful family. Do you have any idea how many people would kill for that kind of life?"

Winnie let out a dramatic sigh. "It's just a shame Jackson had such a short life. If we had known, you should have just married Lance from the start. But look at you now, you're still the respected Mrs. Adams."

Felice bit her lip hard. "Grandma, stop bringing up the past. That's all behind us now. Right now, all I care about is making sure my son survives."

"He will," Winnie assured her. "Lance will move heaven and earth to save him. For now, just keep your head down and be a good girl, do you understand?"

"Yeah, I understand."

...

Lance was in a terrible mood, a suffocating wave of gloom seeming to follow him everywhere.

Nathalie noticed it, but simply averted her eyes.

Whatever he was dealing with, it had nothing to do with her.

But the old lady grabbed Nathalie's hand and asked, "Nathalie, what's going on with Lance? Is he suffering from a broken heart?"

Sophia, who had been listening nearby, burst out laughing. "Grandma, Mr. Adams is always suffering from a broken heart."

It took the old lady a few seconds to process the joke before she added, "But he's been so down lately. He leaves before dawn and comes back late at night. He looks even more like a walking ghost than he did before."

Nathalie lowered her gaze. "It's probably just work-related stress."

"Then tell him to work less," the old lady insisted. "You can never finish earning all the money in the world. If he ruins his health, what good is all that wealth?"

Nathalie nodded. "Alright, I'll talk to him about it."

Right at that moment, Lance walked through the door. A distinct, freezing aura clung to him. He offered a brief greeting to his grandmother before immediately heading upstairs.
