Wife by Day Boss by Night (Natalie and Brian ) novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149 

Nate was gently roused from his sleep by the sound of hushed conversation. Blinking his eyes open, he called out softly, “Daddy…” 

Brian’s stern face softened, and he bent down, caressing Nate’s cheek, “I’m here, buddy.” 

“Where’s Natalie?” Nate looked around, not finding Natalie, and asked with a puzzled 

expression. 

“She’s on set, filming.” Brian darkened his eyes again at the mention of Natalie. 

A flicker of disappointment crossed Nate. When Natalie was here, Daddy was gone. Now that Daddy was back, she was out. The trip to the amusement park seemed to be off the table.

“That’s where you’re wrong. Nate was running a fever, and she stayed with him, trying hard to make him comfortable. Just because her work took her away, you got angry. Isn’t that a bit unreasonable?” 

Even though Brian had always been somewhat unreasonable. 

“Think about it, I told her to keep giving the kid his medicine without fail. I reckon she barely slept last night. She…” 

Before Benjamin could finish, Brian cut him off with a frown, “Why do you talk so much?” 

“Fine, I have a big mouth,” Benjamin retorted, a little defeated.

doting uncle to Nate, Benjamin did a thankless job and wasn’t even paid extra for it. He might as well consider working for Remington. 

Though it might be risky, the pay was good, and nobody there dared to give him any lip. 

Natalie had just wrapped up two long scenes and looked a bit pale while resting on the side. 

Rosle came over with a bottle of water, peering at her, “You feeling okay?”
