She awkwardly got to her feet and sank into the couch, her eyes staring blankly into space. Then she reached for the phone and dialed a number she knew by heart.
When the call connected, Nathalie's deep voice came through. “Need something?”
“Nathalie, let’s meet up.”
Nathalie hesitated for a moment before giving a slight nod. “Alright.”
By the time Nathalie arrived, Kristina was already tucked into a booth. She had ordered Nathalie's favorite coffee, and it was still steaming hot.
Nathalie was taken aback.
When Kristina was her mother-in-law, she had been nothing but cold. She had always expected Nathalie to live up to her standards, never caring about what Nathalie wanted. Those years in the Dawson family meant Nathalie couldn’t watch her favorite shows or enjoy her go-to drinks.
Nathalie sat down and quipped, “Being all nice suddenly—what’s the catch? Need a favor?”
The idea of a proud Kristina humbling herself for Cameron's sake was the only thing that made sense to Nathalie.
Kristina sighed softly. “Back when you were my daughter-in-law, I always saw you as a Cinderella. You came from nothing and did not contribute to Cameron’s career. No matter how good or sensible you were, I always found fault with you.”
“But after you left, Cameron’s career hit rock bottom, and my marriage with his father nearly fell apart. That’s when I realized you were the one who kept the peace and harmony in Dawson family.” Kristina’s eyes glistened with tears. “Nathalie, I was wrong about you. I’m asking you now to please come back。”
Nathalie didn’t mince words. “Sorry. I can’t forgive those who hurt me so carelessly.”
Kristina was shocked. She didn’t expect such honesty from Nathalie.
