Chapter 182
Natalie dragged her suitcase from the tax and had barely reached the front gate
of Majestie Meadows Manor when she spotted a familiar car parked outside.
She gazed at the car momentarily, her steps slowing to a half.
Sadie, who had just returned from grocery shopping, hurried over upon seeing
Natalle: “Miss Natale, you're back” she exclaimed.
Natale stayed quiet, shifting her gaze to Sadie, who seemed somewhat
distressed. Sadie glanced back at Natalie, her hesitation hinting at some unsald
words that she was struggling
to voice out.
Just as she was about to pull Natalie aside to talk, a familiar voice echoed from
the doorway. “Sadie, why are you standing at the door? Nate's awake. Go dress
him, will you?”
Natalie turned around to meet the challenging gaze of Madelyn, who looked
down at her with a sense of confrontation.
Madelyn was back.
And if Madelyn was back, Natalie knew it wasn't her place to stay.
She smiled at Sadie and said, “Go ahead to dress Nate. You can't let the little
guy catch a cold, especially not when Madelyn is around.”
She didn’t want to dig into why Madelyn had suddenly returned. Someone must
have given her the green light if she dared to return.
Overhearing the commotion from upstairs, Nate had scampered down in his
pajamas and slippers. Seeing Natalie about to leave with her suitcase, he called
out with delight, “Natalie!”
Natalie paused, turning back to Nate with a smile. “Be a good boy, Nate. Go back
inside and get dressed before you come out, okay?”
It was apparent to Nate that Natalie was leaving. He stood at the door, and she
didn’t come in, which meant only one thing.
The standoff lingered until Nate, his little brow furrowed, said, “Come back home,
Natalie!”
This was the home of Madelyn, Brian, and their son Nate — not a place Natalie
could call her own. And with Nate's real mom, Madelyn, standing right there,
Natalie had no claim to coax him.
“Go on. Get dressed like a good boy, and I'll go home,” Natalie assured him with
a smile and said tenderly, “I like kids who listen.”
Nate pondered for a while before reluctantly turning back toward the room. He
gave Madelyn no more than a glance as if she were thin air.
Madelyn couldn't help but frown. The mother and son were cut from the same
cloth, both

equally irritating in her eyes.
A few steps in Nate paused, sensing something amiss. He turned toward the
door and spotted Natale walking away with her suitcase.
He froze briefly, then cried out loudly. “Don’t go, Natalie!”
Natalie, already a distance away, steeled her heart and didn’t look back.
“Natalie” Nate's voice tore through the air as he called after her.
Natalie's heart leaped, her grip tightening on the suitcase handle, her pace
quickening.
