The Year She Stopped Being Crazy for Him novel Chapter 339

They had made such a massive spectacle out of bringing Adrian into the family. On the day he was officially added to the registry, all the descendants of the Carlson family had been present.

Originally, everyone had been concerned that Hassan didn't have a son, fearing his position wasn't secure.

When a biological heir finally appeared—even if he was born to a woman on the outside—the fact that he was bright and well-behaved, and carrying Hassan's bloodline, had successfully shut down a lot of wagging tongues.

The only viable path forward now truly was to bury the matter and keep the truth from the public.

She let out a long breath and closed her eyes, her temples throbbing with sheer anger. "You insist on doing this, don't you? You've broken Natalie's heart this badly—aren't you afraid she's really going to abandon you one day?"

The man's tall frame froze instantly. He lowered his dark eyes, a surge of hidden emotions swirling within them. "One day? Isn't she already leaving right now?"

"So, you truly don't care?" Cecily asked him. "Do you really have absolutely no feelings for her? Who do you think I'm protecting by refusing to let you divorce? I'm doing it for you. I watched you grow up. You and Natalie used to be incredibly close; have you forgotten all of that?"

Hassan lowered his eyes, a faint smile touching his lips. "I haven't forgotten. She's the one who forgot."

Cecily shook her head and spoke again. "I can help you keep this a secret, but I have one condition."

Hassan looked at her. "What condition?"

"You and Natalie need to have a child as soon as possible."

He paused, his voice turning slightly hoarse when he replied. "She's already moved out. That condition is asking too much."

"She only moved out for now; it doesn't mean she'll never come back." Over the years, Cecily had seen everything Natalie had done for him. Her love for Hassan was so fierce and passionate that everyone in their social circle knew about it.

Seeing Hassan's silent demeanor, Cecily added, "And as for Gardenia, you need to cut ties with her."

Just then, Hassan's phone rang. Staring at the caller ID, he said, "Get some rest. I'm stepping out."

...

After bringing Cup back to Sunriver Residences, Natalie called out a few times but realized Nancy wasn't home.
