Chapter 407
Time flew by, and half a month had passed.
At the Hamilton residence located in the suburbs of Dellmoor, Natalie was dressed elegantly in a dark
blue gown. The unique design contoured her flawless shoulder line, and her waist looked exceptionally
slim with a waist belt. Even though there were no other eye-catching elements on her gown, she was still
giving off the vibe of sheer dignity.
Meanwhile, Yana, who was almost at the end of her first trimester, looked gorgeous in her white
gown. For the sake of her baby, she did not tighten it to reveal her waistline.
The moment Natalieâs figure came into view, Yana quickened her pace toward her.
In the meantime, Hansâ heart skipped a beat at her agility. âYana, slow down,â he called out to her hastily.
Yana chuckled. âIâve not met Natalie ever since our previous gathering in the bar. Of course, my heart
leaps with joy when I finally have the chance to see her again now. Can you stop restricting me as
usual?â
Holding onto Natalieâs arm, she let out a sigh admiringly. âOh! My Natalie looks even more gorgeous
now! I can barely take my eyes off you!â
Shaking her head, Natalie laughed out loud. âYouâre indeed playing favorite to me. Donât you see that are
freckles scattering all over my cheeks?â
She did not have any chance to tell Yana and Hans the truth yet. Thus, they were unaware that she was
wearing a hyper-realistic mask.
âWhatâs wrong with me playing favorite to you? Your facial features may not meet the expectation of the
current trend of beauty in general, but your kindness and compassion toward the unfortunate ones have
caught my eye. To me, thatâs your greatest charm!â
Hans approached them and echoed, âI agree with Yana. Genuine beauty canât be judged by looking
merely at the physical appearance. Anyway, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. One who can see
through your inner beauty will surely share the same sentiments with us!â
Natalie could not resist blushing at their compliments. âIf you continue to flatter me, Iâll be triumphant like
an inflated balloon!â
The next moment, all three of them burst into laughter. -.
By the time Jason and his wife, Hannah, approached them, he could not help but smile blissfully at their
laughter.
âWhatâs so funny? Mind to share with me?â he joked.
Hans briefed his father-in-law on their conversation moments ago and even mimicked Natalieâs
tone exaggeratively. Subsequently, Jason also laughed heartily. âHans and Yana, I agree with you.
Natalie, itâs indeed my blessing to have you as my god-daughter!â
Natalie blushed again and uttered coquettishly, âAh! Godfather, why are you playing favorite to me with
Yana and Hans too?â
Tas
It was indeed a joyous family of five. Natalieâs heart was filled with warmth whenever she was with them.
Needless to say, everyone from the Weiss family was good-natured. Not to mention, all of them treated
her as if she was one of the Weisses. Before that, she never had a sense of belonging at the Nichols
residence. It never occurred to her that she would be able to get a taste of the familial bond that she had
been longing for from the Weisses.
Moments later, Jason led them into the Hamilton familyâs manor with his invitation card. They were there
to attend the birthday banquet specially held by Charles for Zayden.
The Hamilton family was one of the most prestigious families in Dellmoor. They were from a military
background and used to trade firearms. Even after the trading was later strictly prohibited by the nation,
the Hamilton family managed to stand out as one of the most influential families in Chanaea.
As it was still one hour to go before the banquet started, well-dressed guests were socializing among
themselves outside the hall. Shrouded by the golden glitter of the sunset, they were chattering and
clinking glasses jovially with each other.
Jason and Charleswere close friends. Thus, he led Natalie and the others toward the inner hall too.
However, Charles only let Jason enter the inner hall as he preferred to have private conversations with
close friends.
Meanwhile, Natalie and the others stood outside the inner hall while waiting for Jason.
In the meantime, Scarlett approached them from nowhere. Dressed elegantly in a pink sequined lace
gown, the high split revealed her slender legs with every single movement when she strutted toward
them.
âYana?â she called out abruptly. ||
âScarlett, youâre back!â Yana was surprised to see her.
Since Charles and Jason were in a close relationship, Scarlett and Yana tended to know each other. Not
to mention, they were about the same age. Thus, they could recognize each other with just a glimpse.
Shortly after, Scarlett switched to gaze at Natalie standing alongside Yana with hidden hostility in her
eyes.
