After Jules took off, Nathalie headed upstairs. She found Morris, crouched down next to him, and looked at him with genuine concern. "If you're still hung up on him, why not just reach out?"
Morris gently smoothed the creases on her forehead with his thumb. "Nathalie, don't frown. You'll end up with wrinkles."
Nathalie sighed, laced with a hint of self-pity. "Even if I were drop-dead gorgeous, no one seems to notice. Getting old and losing my looks doesn't faze me."
Morris paused, his expression softening. "Nathalie, I've decided to join the Sharp family. It's likely we'll see less of each other. I hope you find ways to keep yourself happy while I'm away."
Nathalie felt a wave of disappointment wash over her. But she knew Morris returning to the Sharp family was crucial for him to reconnect with his roots. She supported his decision without reservation.
"Okay. Let me know ahead of time when you plan to leave the Stewart family. I want to be there to send you off."
Morris nodded with a warm smile. "I will."

Ford was relentless, working around the clock for three days until he had good news for Nathalie. "Boss, I've tracked down Almos."
Nathalie's excitement was palpable as she quickly replied to Ford’s message, "Where is he?"
"He's abroad right now, but his travel records show a flight booked for next Monday to return."
Nathalie didn't hesitate. "Get someone to meet him at the airport when he lands. I want him brought straight to me."
"Will do."
