Niamh said, “I testify that if she didn’t want to go star chasing, she really wanted to go home with you this time.”
Upon hearing this, Nathalie looked at Veronica suspiciously and asked, “Did you get the tickets?”
Veronica smiled and said, “At times like this, financial capability can solve all problems.”
Nathalie didn’t know what to say.
She and Niamh were both rich people. Otherwise they would have killed Veronica when she said that.
Nathalie looked at Niamh and asked, “So how are you going to get home? Do you want to come with me?”
“My mom is coming over,” Niamh said.
Nathalie and Veronica fell silent.
On this matter, neither of them had any solution.
After all, Niamh’s biological mother was involved. Veronica and Nathalie cannot intervene until Niamh had decided how to handle their relationship.
Nathalie said, “I’ll have a bodyguard follow you. Don’t worry, even if your mother asks you to meet some strange people, I won’t let anything happen to you.”
Niamh’s eyes instantly turned red, and she reached out to hug Nathalie, saying, “Thank you, Nathalie.
Thank you so much.”
This was not the first time, Niamh’s mother seized every opportunity to come to the school and take
Niamh to meet some directors or producers.
However, the directors and producers she could work with were not all legitimate ones. Many of them were just using their titles as a cover for their ulterior motives.
Fortunately, Nathalie happened to be passing by the first time and rescued Niamh. Otherwise she wouldn’t have made it.
However, Niamh still held onto this fantasy, a fantasy about family and her mother.
Nathalie and Veronica knew that she had a vulnerable spot in her heart, so they didn’t say those kinds of things to her anymore.
However, both of them did not give up on Niamh and secretly protected her in various ways.
Nathalie said, “Why don’t you try acting in a film? You might like it. I can arrange it for you, which is much more reliable than these.”
Niamh shook her head, because she really didn’t like it.
And she cannot, under any circumstances, make Nathalie give her resources.
Ever since Niamh’s mother found out that she and Nathalie were roommates, she had forced her to suck up to Nathalie and take advantage of her countless times.
Niamh really liked Nathalie as a person and genuinely wanted to be friends with her for a long time.
Therefore, she will never fulfill her mother’s wishes no matter what.
Nathalie returned home the next afternoon.
The next day was Aimee’s birthday, and this time Patrick insisted on throwing a grand birthday banquet.
Aimee had become more and more fond of Patrick over the years, and she wouldn’t say no to anything he suggested.
So, long before the actual event, Aimee cleared her schedule and completely handed over her time to
Patrick.
Nathalie returned home and Aimee was trying on a dress.
It was personally selected by Patrick and perfectly fit Aimee’s body.
Nathalie walked over and reached out to hug Aimee, but Patrick pulled her aside. “Don’t wrinkle your mother’s dress. It will affect her beauty,” he said.
Nathalie was speechless. “Dad, don’t you think you’re going too far? The way you said it makes it seem like my mom’s beauty is only enhanced by her dress.”
Patrick heard this, and immediately gave Nathalie a sharp glance.
This damn girl, she was causing trouble as soon as she came back.
Nathalie gave a slight snort and turned to Aimee, saying, “Mom, don’t you think Dad is being too much?
He’s making the dress more important than you.”
Aimee raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Nathalie in silence. She said, “After all these years, when will you stop trying to drive a wedge between your father and me? Why haven’t you given up yet?”
Nathalie was at loss for words.
Well, why was she going back here? Was she the third wheel?
When it came to displaying their affection, Nathalie thought of Ridge.
Nathalie suddenly felt that she wasn’t the most unfortunate one after all.
Her dad was busy preparing a birthday feast for her mom here, but little did he know that her beloved brother was planning to steal the show and grab all the attention.
Nathalie was very eager.
She can already imagine that her father’s expression at that time will be very exciting.
Thinking of this, Nathalie couldn’t help but laugh.
Patrick and Aimee looked at Nathalie in unison, and directly scared her.
Nathalie immediately restrained her smile and said, “Why are you looking at me? I’m not as pretty as my mother.”
Patrick sneered and said, “This is exactly what I like about you – your self-awareness.”
Nathalie was speechless.
She now fully understood why Ridge had never gotten along with their father since he was young.
Only her mother thought Patrick was sweet.
Nathalie stood up and said, “I don’t want to see you display your affection here anymore. Where’s my sister? I’m going to find her.”
“Looks like they’re on a date. Don’t go over and be a third wheel,” Patrick said.
She couldn’t help but feel like everything had changed since she started college.
“Jealous much?” Patrick teased. “Everyone older and younger than you is in a relationship, and here you are, single as a pringle.”
Nathalie rolled her eyes at Patrick’s comment. “I don’t believe it. Jace and Jessica are dating too?
They’re the youngest ones here – one’s in elementary school and the other’s in kindergarten. I refuse to believe they’re not single.”
Patrick chuckled. “Compared to them, you’re doing pretty well for yourself.”
Nathalie smirked back at him. “I’m just catching you on your words.”
“Don’t underestimate kindergarteners,” Patrick retorted with a grin. “They have more experience than you think.”
Nathalie felt her blood pressure rising from Patrick’s teasing, but then she remembered someone who was also single.
“I’m not alone,” Nathalie said confidently. “Emanuel is also single like me.”
When Emanuel was mentioned, Nathalie couldn’t help feeling a little proud. Patrick’s words were full of loopholes because even if everyone else was in a relationship, as long as she hadn’t agreed to be with
Emanuel, he would still be single. So Patrick couldn’t really get to her.
However, Patrick said, “Other people have someone they like too. Can you say the same?”
Nathalie was speechless again.
Well, he was really her own father.
Nathalie’s eyes rolled around and then she said, “Do you know who he likes?”
Patrick really didn’t know.
But Patrick was such a smart person that when he saw Nathalie’s reaction, he naturally thought…
Patrick’s gaze changed and stared at Nathalie for a long time before finally saying, “Are you dating
Emanuel?”
This was impossible because everything Nathalie did was being watched by someone. If she were in a relationship, how could he not know?
Nathalie stuck out her tongue at Patrick and said, “You want to know? I’m not telling you.”
After speaking, Nathalie ran out quickly.
Patrick felt a heartache.
What kind of children had he raised? Why were they all so unreasonable?
Aimee looked at him like this and laughed without reservation.
“Is it uncomfortable for you not to provoke her?” Aimee asked.
“I just wanted to tease her since she hasn’t come back for so long,” replied Patrick.
Besides yesterday’s hot search incident scared him quite badly too. Although Billy seemed like an excellent guy after checking him out online, still… he wasn’t ready yet for his youngest daughter to date anyone yet!
“Mikayla and Beata got married when they were the same age as her,” Aimee reminded him gently.
“How much longer do you plan on controlling her?”
“I should have listened to you back then and had another child,” sighed Patrick regretfully
At that time Aimee really wanted another son, but, because of what happened during Nathalie’s birth which left him traumatized outside the delivery room, he didn’t want Aimee going through any more pain again, which caused them some arguments but ultimately decided against it anyway
