Wife by Day Boss by Night (Natalie and Brian ) novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168 

Sometimes, watching these little moments of joy could brighten up the mood. 

She turned with a smile, only to find King standing right behind her, his gaze tenderly fixed on 

her. 

The evening breeze tousled her bangs, and King reached out to gently smooth them back into place. As he withdrew his hand, he seamlessly took hold of her right hand, enveloping it in the warmth of his own. 

“Let’s grab a bite to eat,” he said, leading her toward the restaurant. 

Natalie followed, her eyes lingering on their intertwined hands. 

After a few seconds, as she thought of pulling her hand back, King tightened his grip, his determination palpable. 

He had come with a purpose–to discuss the pending proposal from their last meeting, a matter of significant importance. Natalie knew it was time to give him a response, yes or no. If she could, she would be his fiancée from this day forward. 

She and King were childhood friends. Growing up, their families were only a few fences apart, and her grandmother, when she was alive, enjoyed visiting the Weston family, often taking Natalie along to play. 

Natalie remembered seeing the handsome boy who would practice the violin with such dedication in his study, and the music was always so enchanting. 

King’s grandma would boast about her grandson’s achievements with pride, whether it was winning a music competition or taking his exams. He was the good boy every parent wished 

for. 

“If Natalie could be half as accomplished as Kellan one day, I’d be more than happy,” her grandmother had said countless times, to which Natalie could not take any longer. 

“There’s no need for that,” responded King’s grandma, affectionately patting Natalie’s head. “If Kellan and Natalie were to be a couple, joining our families. Wouldn’t that be just as well?” Natalie was a child then and didn’t quite grasp what ‘becoming one family‘ meant, but she remembered her grandmother nodding enthusiastically. “Yes, that would be wonderful!” 

Natalie also nodded while the adults laughed together, and Kellan watched her with a smile. 

Time passed, and Natalie left the Wright family. Rumor had it that the Weston family had prospered and moved away! 

Later, Natalie encountered King at Bluestar and learned through Uriah that the Weston family had fallen from grace overnight. Their business collapsed, and the father took his life while

the mother went mad and drowned herself in the sea. 

Uriah had been managing a vineyard in Bluestar, a joint venture between King’s grandfather and a friend. King’s grandfather had secretly transferred the shares to Kellan. 

The once illustrious Weston family vanished overnight, leaving Kellan as the sole survivor. 

Natalie was well aware that King’s feelings for her were akin to those of a family member, someone to rely on unconditionally.
