The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 525

Nathalie: [I'm home, not doing much right now.]

Damaris: [Awesome, I'm heading over. Let's play cards with Grandma!]

No sooner said than done, the energetic girl bounced out of bed and threw on some clothes.

She hopped into her little Beetle and started driving toward Lumina Grand.

The weather wasn't great today; the sky was heavily overcast, looking like it could pour rain at any second.

Damaris was a steady driver and quickly arrived at the gates of Lumina Grand. The security guard stopped her, requiring her to sign in and provide identification.

She got out of her car and walked over to the clipboard.

At that exact moment, a sleek luxury car pulled up right next to her.

Aaron was just turning his head to speak to the man in the backseat when his eyes landed on Damaris, who was standing at the guardhouse with her head down, signing the logbook.

His pupils contracted violently.

What was Damaris doing here?

Was she here to see the missus?

Aaron quickly checked the rearview mirror and saw Lawrence leaning back with his eyes closed, resting. He clearly hadn't noticed her yet.

Under no circumstances could he let Lawrence see her!

Lawrence had been glued to the security footage for days and still hadn't found the car he was looking for. He had thrown a massive fit, screaming and demanding to see Lance.

Aaron had requested permission from his boss and had just gotten the green light to bring him over.

He never imagined they would run straight into Damaris at the front gate!

Aaron immediately shifted gears and steered the car sharply in a different direction.

Lawrence opened his eyes at the sudden movement. He had been awake for several nights straight, and his bloodshot eyes were causing him a lot of discomfort. "Are we there yet?" he grumbled.

"Almost," Aaron replied smoothly. "You can rest your eyes a little longer."

He steered the car with one hand while furiously typing a message to Lance with the other.

"My babe! It's been days, I missed you so much!" she declared with dramatic flair.

Nathalie's lips twitched in fond exasperation. "You're being way too dramatic. It's a little cheesy. Can we aim for elegant and composed?"

"Fine, fine. You don't love me anymore." Damaris fake-pouted, immediately pivoting to look for the old lady. "I'm going to find Grandma. Grandma definitely loves me!"

Her cheerful voice echoed through the house, and the old lady was clearly thrilled to see her. The two of them fell into immediate, happy chatter.

Just then, Lance descended the stairs.

His sharp, handsome brows were pulled into a deep scowl. He shot a glare at Damaris. "Do you have no sense of self-preservation? Wandering around like this—are you afraid he won't find you?"

Startled by the sudden hostility, Damaris shrank back, her shoulders hunching as she looked up at him timidly.

Nathalie frowned. "She hasn't been going anywhere else. How could he possibly find her by pure coincidence? Why are you being so mean to her? If you're dealing with something, handle it yourself. Don't take your temper out on innocent people."

Lance was speechless.

He stared at her, letting out a dark, utterly exasperated laugh.
