Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart (Natalia and Hamilton)

Chapter 31

Chapter 31 

Natalia hung her coat on the rack and slipped off her boots, revealing the fun polka–dotted socks she had chosen that morning. 

“I just hit up a late–night flea market.” 

“With whom?” 

Natalia hesitated, but she didn’t hide the truth. The way Hamilton was posturing, it was clear he already knew something. 

“Just myself. I just happened to bump into Lionel on the way back, and he gave me a ride 

home.” 

Hamilton sat on the couch, eyeing her. 

“A coincidence?” 

“Yeah, a coincidence.” 

“That’s quite the coincidence.” He scoffed, patting the cushion next to him. “Come, sit. Tell me 

about this ‘coincidence“.” 

Natalia’s spine stiffened at the barely concealed ire in his voice. Her words were tinged with bitterness as she began to explain. “I was just waiting for a cab when he happened to drive by and offered me a lift. Mr. Fowler, I don’t have the kind of charm where I snap my fingers, and someone comes running.” 

Hamilton’s face darkened like a thundercloud. He snorted. “Ms. Jenkins, remember what I’ve told you before – keep your distance from those men out there. Tarnish yourself, and you won’t be worth much.” 

A pang shot through Natalia’s chest, but she didn’t let it show. She forced a smile. “I haven’t forgotten, Mr. Fowler. Rest assured.” 

Hamilton nodded curtly. “What did you buy at the flea market?” 

Natalia used to love picking up knick–knacks at the flea market. She would always show him 

her finds afterward. But today, she was in no mood for sharing. She couldn’t be as detached as he was about everything. 

“Nothing. Just browsed,” she replied curtly. 

Hamilton kept his gaze on her, obviously unsatisfied with her response. 

After a moment, Natalia reluctantly pulled out two pairs of socks. “I got two pairs of socks.” 

Two pairs. Even when she bought socks, she had always bought two. One for him, one for her. 

Seeing the socks, Hamilton’s expression softened slightly. “Go take a shower.”
