The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 558

558 /660

After the brief shock wore off, Freddy’s expression darkened considerably.

Thinking about the terrifying ordeal Nathalie had recently endured, a sudden, chilling thought crossed his mind. Was it possible someone had used his name to orchestrate an attack on her? Was that why she was treating him like a monster?

The moment the possibility clicked, his face turned thunderous.

If that was true, whoever pulled it off had a serious death wish!

Freddy immediately dialed a number, firing off a series of rapid commands, ordering his network to track down the truth immediately.

...

Nathalie was genuinely shocked that Freddy had the nerve to call her.

After hanging up, she brushed off the annoyance and put the incident out of her mind.

However, when Sophia returned, she casually mentioned her run-in with Freddy and how they had discussed everything going on in Nathalie’s life.

Hearing this, Nathalie’s beautiful brows pulled together in a tight frown.

No wonder Freddy had called her out of the blue—he had ambushed Sophia.

She looked at Sophia, her tone uncharacteristically strict. "I need you to minimize your contact with him from now on."

Sophia blinked in confusion. "Why?"

Nathalie explained seriously, "He’s not the nice, gentle guy he pretends to be. We’re just ordinary people. If he decides to target you, you won't even have a place to call for help. So please, just listen to me on this."

Sophia looked conflicted. She remembered how Freddy’s men had saved her life, but her loyalty and affection lay completely with Nathalie. After a brief internal struggle, she nodded. "Okay, Nathalie. I trust you."

Nathalie smiled softly, then changed the subject. "Why are you back so soon? I thought you were staying at your place tonight."

Sophia replied cheerfully, "My mom has a caretaker now, so she doesn't really need me to do much. I figured I'd come back here. I can chat with Grandma and keep her company, make her a little happier."
