The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 685

Chapter 685

In the restaurant, Clyde looked back to the soaked drafts once Natalie and her colleague had departed in their car. The design of the clothes for the elderly was highly creative, and it was unfortunate that the papers got wet by water. Clyde’s face lit up with interest when he thought of Natalie and her design, a glint of joy in his eyes. Despite feeling a sense of familiarity, he couldn’t recall where he had heard her name before.

Clyde organized the documents that Natalie left behind when a well-made-up woman took a seat across from him.

“You are Mr. Lambert, right? You were introduced to me by Hayes, and I’m here for the blind date.” It was clear that Stacey Gray had rushed to get there, her breathing was erratic and unstable, and her forehead was dotted with sweat.

“I’m sorry, but I already have someone 1 like. Thank you for stopping by, but 1 cannot proceed with the blind date. Please order a drink. I’ll cover the bill.” With that, Clyde quickly departed, clutching the documents in his hand.

As soon as Natalie got off work, she rushed to Malus Bay. As usual, her villa was empty. Brandon s villa which stood next to hers, however, was brightly lit, and the aroma of the dishes filled the air.

With a frown, Natalie walked over and knocked on the door, only to find that it was unlocked. She pushed it open and saw Hannah placing knives and forks on the dinner table. “You came back just in time. I’ll prepare two more dishes and then we can have dinner” Hannah wiped her hands on her apron and walked to the kitchen with a big smile on her face.

Natalie quickly held Hannah s arm and assisted her to sit down. “Didn’t you say that you would wait for me to return to cook? Please, just sit here and wait for the food to be served.”

She untied Hannah’s apron and then wrapped her hair into a bun. Then, she glanced at the dishes on the table and eagerly rubbed her hands together. “I’ll cook a few more of your favorite dishes. Just give me a little time.” Hannah couldn’t stop Natalie in time. She’d forgotten to tell her that Brandon was also in the kitchen.

Shortly after Natalie entered the kitchen, Brandon sent out the servants who had been helping in there to go do other chores.

Only the two of them were left in the kitchen now, and the atmosphere was tense with awkwardness.

For some reason, Natalie became uneasy. Her eyebrows twitched, and the blade of the knife she was holding almost touched her finger.

“Did you bring Hannah here on purpose?” What was he up to? Did he bring Hannah here as a mediator? It was obvious, however, that Hannah had no idea that Natalie was not on good terms with Brandon.

“I picked her up for a reason. She took care of you when you were a child, so I need to take care of her now on your behalf. She deserves to live a happy retired life.” Brandon had already planned to take Hannah to Barnes, however it escaped him because he first had to figure out how to get rid of Vivian. As a result, he hadn’t quite had the time to make proper arrangements.

“There’s no one taking care of her now. I’ll make sure to find a help in Barnes to take very good care of her while she enjoyed her retirement here.” Brandon strode towards Natalie and suddenly lowered his head. The pair gazed at each other. The burning desire in Brandon’s eyes made her blush. The corners of her eyes were a little red because she had been cutting onions.

“Why’re you standing so close to me? Move back!” Natalie’s voice trembled as she leaned back subconsciously.

“Relax, I’m just throwing away some garbage,” Brandon chuckled and dropped the crumpled kitchen towels into the trash can behind Natalie. Then, he stood up straight and said.

“If you don’t have a lot of free time, you can leave Hannah here with me. I’ll be free enough to take care of her.”

After all, without Hannah, Brandon wouldn’t have been able to meet Natalie.

“Yes, I’m quite busy these days. Thank you.” Natalie lowered her eyes and went back to chopping the onions. Deep down, she was grateful to Brandon for taking care of things for her. Draco hoped that she would become an independent designer soon, so she had to work very hard in the ensuing arrangement.

Moreover, it would be much safer for Hannah to stay with Brandon, because back when Natalie was in Seacisco, she had put Hannah in danger several times simply because she wasn’t powerful enough,
