Chapter 661 Chatting Happily

Although Natalie was well aware that being a socially responsible company could help to bolster Dream’s image and build the company’s brand, she still preferred to keep a low profile.

Indeed, Yandel was much better at socializing than her.

Remaining deep in thought, Natalie took a sip of her champagne and sighed.

However, right after she let out the sigh, a teasing voice suddenly sounded next to her.

“Why are you sighing? You’re gonna sigh away all your good luck!”

Natalie turned in the direction of the voice and saw the familiar face with a devilish expression on it. “Christopher!”

“Why are you here alone?” Christopher took a sip of his wine to mask his awkwardness. “Where’s the man who snatched you away? Is he not worried about leaving you here all by yourself?”

Even though Christopher sounded slightly snarky, Natalie was very certain of the man’s character. After all, they had been through so much together.

“Samuel has to work. He’s on a business trip,” she replied smilingly. “Besides, I’m already a fully-grown adult. Why would he worry about me? Don’t forget, I’m already a mother of four.”

Christopher knew that Samuel had Franklin and Sophia. As such, he couldn’t help but sympathize with Natalie for having to take on the role of the kid’s stepmother.

“Natalie, honestly, those two kids from the Bowers family are quite a handful, aren’t they? What is it like being their stepmother? Are you suffering?”

“Hey, don’t try to sow discord between us!” Natalie glared at Christopher before continuing, “Who told you I’m their stepmother? Franklin and Sophia came from my belly as well, and we are getting along incredibly well.”

“What?”

Christopher could hardly believe his ears. He was so shocked that he almost spilled the wine in his glass.

“Does that mean… you’re the biological mother of the twins from the Bowers family too?”

“Yes.”

“Quadruplets?”

“Yeah. Do you have a problem with that?”

Christopher had previously concluded that Natalie had chosen Samuel over him because Samuel knew her earlier than he did.

He had always thought that the couple had met each other at most three months earlier than he knew Natalie. He did not expect them to have met way back, in fact, so far back that their kids were already so grown up.

Christopher said with mixed feelings, “Four in one go… I wonder if you or Samuel should get the credit for that…”

Although Natalie could tell that the man was jealous, she did not mind at all. “Mr. Collins, why are you acting jealous over that? After all, child-bearing ability is not the only thing Samuel is better than you at.”

“Natalie Nichols!”

“What’s up?”

“Haven’t we decided to treat each other like family?” Christopher huffed, pretending to be angry. “If you were really my sister, you’ll definitely drive me mad!”

“Well, aren’t big brothers supposed to be bullied by their sisters?” Natalie winked cheekily.

“If that’s the case, I’ll definitely go crazy.”

Christopher and Natalie laughed heartily.

While the two of them were chatting happily, Shawn of the Watsons family spotted Natalie and approached her.

“Natalie.”

“Shawn! It’s been a long time!” Natalie greeted the man warmly and asked, “How’s Grandpa?”

“He’s as healthy as a horse!” Shawn fixed a gentle gaze on her and continued, “He was just complaining to me recently that you haven’t visited him in a while, saying that if you don’t show up soon, he would think of a way to meet you instead. He was even asking me how to do it in a way that doesn’t seem too intentional.”

“He won’t have to worry about that if I visit him first.” Natalie chuckled.

“All right. I’m going to hold you to that. You’d better visit him soon, Natalie.”

“I will.”

Shawn and Christopher had known each other previously through business dealings. However, with Natalie around, the two men were talking about deeper topics and getting to know each other better. They felt like they could empathize with each other and wished that they had known each other earlier.

Even though Natalie wasn’t the most eye-catching person that night, with Shawn and Christopher surrounding her, everyone started noticing her.

As for Yara, even though she was approached by numerous heirs of wealthy families, none of them were at the caliber of Shawn or Christopher. The woman could feel anger building up inside her as her smile grew stiff.
