Chapter 774
“Just tell me if they’re bothering you too much.” A fond smile appeared on Hannah’s face.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. I’m just a little worried. They can be pretty relentless, and if they keep digging around, they might harm you. Since you’ve been taken back to the Whites and married Brandon, a big part of your life has also changed. There are bigger things at stake, so it would be better to leave the past behind.”
Natalie instinctively nodded, even though she knew Hannah couldn’t see her.
“Don’t Worry. I’ll be careful. You should also take care of yourself. Call me if anything happens. I’m here, and I’ve grown up too, so don’t shoulder everything on your own.”
At that moment, Brandon greeted Hannah as well, “Good evening, Hannah. Please don’t worry about Natalie. I promise I’ll take good care of her. I’ll deal with the reporters bothering you too. Just leave everything to me.”
Brandon’s reassurance lifted some of Hannah’s worries.
With a laugh, she said, “That’s great. You guys keep busy. I won’t disturb you two lovebirds any longer.”
The call had ended, but Natalie’s frown stayed.
“This is my fault,” she said guiltily.
“I should have thought things through. Now even Hannah’s troubled because of my studio, and I hate it.”
She knew all too well how brazen and relentless those reporters could be.
They were worse than rats when it came to digging up stories.
Hannah didn’t say much about it, but Natalie was certain they had been going after her nonstop.
Strong arms wrapped around her in a protective hold.
“Don’t worry.”
Brandon’s voice came to her ears.
“I’ll take care of this. But…”
There was a moment’s pause before he continued, a mischievous smile curving on his lips, “I think Hannah’s biggest wish would be to see us have a baby of our own.
What do you think? Should we try not to let her down?”
Natalie’s face flamed.
“I guess we should.”
Her cheeks were hot as she wrapped her arms around Brandon’s neck.
“But I find something a bit strange,” she said.
The slow flames creeping across his body burned at her touch.
Brandon pressed himself more against Natalie, his hands starting to wander.
“What’s so strange about it?” As he spoke, one hand had reached between her legs.
A soft gasp escaped Natalie before she answered, “We’ve already tried many times, but there aren’t any results yet.”
“Then we just need to work harder,”
Brandon said before swooping down to steal her lips.
He swallowed her moans, and she surrendered, letting him lead her to another realm of pure ecstasy.
Because of what Brandon did the previous night, Natalie was late to work the next morning.
Rubbing her sore waist, she walked into the studio tiredly.
On her way to the studio, she cursed Brandon many times in her heart. Just when she was about to curse him again, she saw Lexi running towards her excitedly.
“Boss! Good news! Good news!”
Natalie took a sip of water and asked slowly, “Is Carly here to see me?”
Lexi blinked in confusion and answered, “No…”
“Ahem.”
Embarrassed, Natalie cleared her throat and continued, “Then what’s the good news?” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Lexi quickly took out the order details with a smile and said excitedly, “A security company wants us to design and make a new batch of work uniforms for them, and it is a huge order! You won’t have to worry about the studio rent, water, or electricity bills if we do this!”
Surprised, Natalie took the information document from her and saw that the client was a large security firm from another city with hundreds of female bodyguards.
They wanted a custom- made batch of new uniforms for their employees.
However, what surprised Natalie the most was that this company was located in the same city where Laney was now.
Could this order be recommended by Laney? At the thought of her best friend, Natalie reminisced about the days when Laney used to work as a bodyguard and accompany her.
They hadn’t contacted each other in such a long time, and Natalie wondered how Laney and her child were doing.
She quickly made a video call to Laney.
Soon, the call was connected, and a chubby cute face appeared on the screen.
She looked just like Laney.
The baby’s face was rubbing against the screen and she was babbling.
Seeing that, Natalie’s heart softened.
All of a sudden, Laney’s face appeared on the screen.
“Natalie, were you really free enough to call me today?”
Holding the baby in her arms, Laney continued, “I thought you were so busy that you forgot all about me.”
Natalie had indeed been very busy with the studio’s affairs and had no time to contact Laney.
Smiling with guilt, Natalie replied, “I’m sorry, Laney.
The studio was just set up, and I was too busy with work till now.
By the way, have you decided on a name for your little girl?”
Laney smiled and said, “I was just about to tell you. The baby’s name is Anya.”
She then turned to her daughter and said, “Anya, say hello to Natalie.”
Anya was still a baby, so she did not quite understand her mother’s words.
However, to their surprise, she opened her mouth and smiled so wide that she began to drool.
Natalie liked her so much and said with excitement, “Anya is so cute! Her name is beautiful! I wish I could fly over and kiss her right now!”
Laney laughed and said, “You will also have a lovely baby in the future!”
At that moment, Ian also appeared on the screen and greeted Natalie with respect, “Good morning, Mrs. Larson!”
Natalie also greeted him with a smile, and after that, Ian left with Anya in his arms to feed her.
After he left, Natalie thought of the new order from the security company and asked Laney, “Hey, I got an order from a security company that’s located in the same city you live in. Did you recommend me to them?”
Laney nodded with a smile and said, “I didn’t expect you to find out about it so soon.
In fact, I didn’t recommend you, I just showed your past works to my friend, Teresa, and she immediately made the decision to hire you.”
Natalie was moved by her friend’s support and said, “Thank you, Laney.”
Laney shook her head.
“You’ve done a lot for me. Compared to that, this is nothing.”
She was just repaying Natalie for all the kindness she had shown her and for all the help she had offered.
