A Cue for Love Chapter 227 Darling Is Back A peculiar glint flashed past Christopherâs eyes upon Natalieâs words.
He knew how merciless Natalie was on herself. Nevertheless, he never thought she would agree to his terms without even knowing what it was.
âArenât you worried that Iâll ask you to do some heinous crime?â
âSince youâre willing to tell me the fruitâs whereabouts before I even fulfill your wish, I reckoned that just proves you have a kind heart.â Natalie grinned mischievously. âHence, youâre not as bad of a person as you look. Thereâs no way youâre going to ask me to commit a heinous crime.â
âYouâre the first person ever to say that to me.â Christopher paused and changed the subject.
âNonetheless, you will have a hefty consequence to pay should you decide to renege on your words in the future.â
No matter. This is for Yanaâs sake, after all. Thereâs no turning back now, was the thought that popped into Natalieâs mind.
âAll right.â
âI will get my subordinate to prepare the message and email it to you by tonight,â Christopher said.
âChristopher.â Natalieâs eyes curved into a crescent shape as she smiled. âThank you.â
In response, Christopher looked away and directed his gaze to the scenery outside.
Of course, Natalie didnât know that Christopher shifted his gaze away because of her mesmerizing smile. She simply thought that her ugly hyper-realistic mask was an eyesore for him. Nevertheless, she wasnât the least bit affected by it as she left Christopherâs office with a bright smile on her face.
Yana and Hans will live to a ripe old age once I cure Yana of her illness with the dragonblood fruit.
Back home.
Natalie immediately called Hans to tell him of the good news. She assured him that everything was going to be fine once she gets her hands on The dragonblood fruit.
She could tell that Hansâ eyes were brimming with tears of joy upon the news through the phone.
Yanaâs illness was tormenting his heart as much as it was tormenting Yanaâs body.
One could even say that Hans might be the happiest if Yana recovers, instead of Yana herself.
Natalie heaved a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.
She then took out a tub of strawberry-flavored ice cream from the freezer, sat down on the sofa, and began to dig in.
After a few bites, the door to her house swung open.
Natalie placed her tub of ice cream down and turned to face the corridor. She saw a young boy with a baseball cap holding on to a small luggage bag standing in the doorway.
âClayton?â
Clayton removed his baseball cap and made his way toward Natalie.
âMommy, Iâm home.â
âClayton, you should have told me you were coming back.â Natalieâs eyes reddened when she saw him. After all, it had been a long time since she last saw her son.
She adored both Xavian and Clayton. However, she rarely had the chance to see Clayton ever since he started shooting dramas and commercials. Natalie couldnât help but pinch the boyâs chubby cheeks the moment she saw him.
âMommy⦠Stop⦠Iâm a celebrity, you knowâ¦â However, he gave up the fight and allowed Natalie to do whatever she wanted with him.
âWell, Iâm your mother.â
âOkay, fine, my Queen.â
Clayton may appear nonchalant, but he really missed Natalieâs presence.
He purposely kept it a secret that he was going home because he wanted to give Natalie a surprise.
âDarling, are you done filming?â Natalie asked after she was done pinching his cheeks.
âYes, Iâm done.â Clayton took out another tub of strawberry ice cream from the fridge as he spoke.
âYara never came on set ever since the rumor of the pre-recorded music. The director and producer were so pissed off that they got the screenwriter to turn the second female lead to the female lead.
Hence, we finish filming my part early.â
