Chapter 888 Unable to Move On Part Two
Noticing that Samuel was staring at the blank space on the form, the Director of Admissions explained softly, “Ms. Nichols said that it’s not convenient to fill in this information…”
“I understand.”
“Ummm…”
As the Director of Admissions stood on the spot awkwardly, Samuel suddenly took out a gold pen from his pocket and wrote his own name in that blank column.
“Samuel Bowers?”
“Is there a problem?” Samuel asked, fixing his deep-set gaze on the female director.
As the look in his eyes was too intimidating, the director kept quiet at once and took over the admissions form from the man.
Watching Samuel’s departing figure as he walked away, the woman could not help but feel slightly puzzled at the situation. What’s going on with those two people? Why does the atmosphere feel so strange?
Shortly after Natalie left the kindergarten, she received a phone call.
“Natalie, why didn’t you tell us that you’re in Loang? Have you forgotten us?”
The person on the line was Jerome’s mother, Patricia. Back then, due to a misunderstanding between Patricia and Jerome’s father, she had taken Jerome back to the village where Natalie and her mother were staying and raised him there.
As they were both foreigners in the village, Jennie had taken special care of Patricia and her son. Jennie had also requested Natalie to take Jerome, who was two years younger, with her whenever she went.
From then on, Jennie and Patricia became close friends while Natalie and Jerome were considered childhood sweethearts who grew up together in the village.
After more than a decade had passed, Daniel finally headed to that village in Chanaea from Loang to look for Patricia and cleared up the misunderstanding between them. After that, he took Patricia and Jerome back to Loang with him.
Jerome, who had always been inseparable from Natalie, had eventually followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the army, becoming a major-general.
Initially, Natalie’s plan was to visit Patricia after settling down properly in Loang. However, she did not expect that Patricia and Daniel would end up contacting her first.
“Aunt Patricia, of course I haven’t forgotten about you!” Natalie replied sweetly, as if she was speaking to her own mother.
“I’m glad to hear that.” Patricia was beaming from ear to ear, feeling happy to hear Natalie’s voice. “Are you free tonight? If you’re free, why don’t you come over to our house to have dinner with your Uncle Daniel and I? Jerome is having training at the military base, so there are only the both of us at home. I’m almost bored to death!”
Since Patricia was so enthusiastic about having her over, and Natalie did not have any plans that night, she agreed readily. “Sure.”
“That’s great!” Patricia replied excitedly. “We will be waiting for you then!”
“Yup. See you later!”
After hanging up, Natalie called Emma to ask her to take care of the kids before heading to the Sutton residence.
The Sutton residence was situated within a military compound with guards standing at the entrance. Even though the compound was not luxurious, it gave off a grand and majestic feeling.
As Daniel had already informed the guards beforehand that Natalie would be visiting, the guards personally escorted Natalie to the Sutton residence after she told them her name.
It was not Natalie’s first visit to the Sutton residence.
When she was at Loang previously, she had also visited Patricia often.
From a distance away, Natalie could already spot Patricia and Daniel waiting for her excitedly at the door.
When Patricia saw Natalie, she waved at her immediately.
“Natalie!”
Natalie stopped in front of Patricia and Daniel and nodded politely before greeting them. “Hi, Uncle Daniel and Aunt Patricia. How are you?”
It had been two years since the couple last saw Natalie. When they noticed that the woman was looking even more gorgeous than two years ago, the two of them could not help but smile.
“We are very good!” Patricia stepped closer to Natalie and sized her up before continuing, “Natalie, I haven’t seen you in forever!”
“Aunt Patricia, as time was a little tight, I wasn’t able to prepare a gift for the two of you.”
“There’s no need to! Natalie, your presence is already the best gift to us!” Daniel said.
As he had been training with the military since a young age, the man exuded an imposing and solemn vibe. However, he couldn’t help but smile cheerfully when he saw Natalie.
“That’s right!” Patricia agreed with her husband before saying, “Come on in! Dinner is already ready. We can continue chatting while we eat.”
