Chapter 407 The Hamilton Residence

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 Natalie’s figure came into view, Yana quickened her pace toward her.

In the meantime, Hans’ heart skipped a beat at her agility. “Yana, slow down,” he called out to her hastily.

Yana chuckled. “I’ve 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?”

Holding onto Natalie’s arm, she let out a sigh admiringly. “Oh! My Natalie looks even more gorgeous now! I can barely take my eyes off you!”

Shaking her head, Natalie laughed out loud. “You’re indeed playing favorite to me. Don’t you see that are freckles scattering all over my cheeks?”

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.

“What’s 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, that’s your greatest charm!”

Hans approached them and echoed, “I agree with Yana. Genuine beauty can’t 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!”

Natalie could not resist blushing at their compliments. “If you continue to flatter me, I’ll be triumphant like an inflated balloon!”

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.

“What’s so funny? Mind to share with me?” he joked.

Hans briefed his father-in-law on their conversation moments ago and even mimicked Natalie’s tone exaggeratively. Subsequently, Jason also laughed heartily. “Hans and Yana, I agree with you. Natalie, it’s indeed my blessing to have you as my god-daughter!”

Natalie blushed again and uttered coquettishly, “Ah! Godfather, why are you playing favorite to me with Yana and Hans too?”

It was indeed a joyous family of five. Natalie’s 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 family’s 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 Charles were 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.

“Yana?” she called out abruptly.

“Scarlett, you’re back!” 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.
