Nathan flashed a bright smile. “Do you like it?”
“I do,” she replied, a bit shyly.
Nathalie picked out a beautiful spot for Patrick's final resting place and arranged for a priest to perform a memorial service before laying him to rest. Miranda seemed quite satisfied with how things turned out.
Once everything was settled, Nathalie sought out Miranda, ready to hold her to her promise. “Now, it’s time for you to keep your word, isn’t it?”
Miranda hesitated, struggling with what to say, clearly regretting her impulsive promise to Nathalie. “I was just talking nonsense; your real father passed away ages ago,” she lied.
Nathan, upset, retorted, “I figured you might pull something like this. That’s why I had a backup plan. If you back out, I’ll dig up Patrick’s urn and scatter his ashes into the sea.”
Miranda finally relented, admitting, “Actually, you have met your biological father.”
Nathalie was taken aback. “I have? Who is he?”
Miranda reached into her pocket, pulled out an old wallet, and opened it to reveal a bracelet. She handed it to Nathalie, saying, “Take this to the Stewart family and ask them.”
“The Stewart family?” Both Nathalie and Nathan paused, clearly surprised.
Nathalie wanted to press for more information, but Miranda kept tight-lipped. Left with no other option, Nathalie and Nathan headed home.
Back at home, Nathalie’s once-peaceful life felt unsettled. She often found herself on the balcony, lost in thought while holding the bracelet. The bracelet was nothing special, with its clover design being something you could find anywhere. If this was supposed to be a token of love from her father to her mother, Nathalie felt it was pretty cheap considering the Stewart family’s status.
She sighed softly, feeling that her mother might not have been cherished by her father.
Nathan joined her, sitting closely.
