Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 4

Meanwhile, Natalie headed backstage with her children.

All of a sudden, Connor lifted his head to look up at his mother. “Mommy, that bad woman was bullying you, wasn’t she?”

There was even a hint of certainty in his voice when he said that.

Natalie was stunned at his words. She lowered her head to observe her son, taking in his furrowed brows. To her surprise, her son looked rather angry.

She didn’t think that they would witness everything earlier. At the same time, she was amazed at how observant he was despite his young age.

It was true though – Jasmine was not a good person by any means.

However, that was between the two of them. There was in no way she would let her children get affected by this. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“No, she wasn’t. She was just lost.”

“You’re lying.” Connor ruthlessly exposed her lie.

He clearly heard the woman calling his mother a bumpkin earlier on, and he was not happy about it.

“Oh, alright. Don’t worry about that. I fought back anyway,” Natalie gulped. Her son was getting harder to deal with because he was just too smart for his own good.

Connor’s knitted brows relaxed when his mother came clean. After that, he did not push the matter further.

However, he had saved that woman’s face into his memory banks, not leaving any single bit of detail out. I won’t let that bad woman get away so easily the next time!

“Sharon will protect Mommy! I’ll stop any bad people from bullying Mommy!” Sharon promised. Even though she was not quite sure what was going on, she still smacked her chest confidently.

“Yeah! We’ll protect you, Mommy!” Connor joined in, with his face full of determination. Natalie just looked at her two darlings with a smile, she felt the warmth swelling within her, knowing that they were so protective of her.

She was incredibly thankful she had decided to give birth to these two years ago. That was one of the best decisions she had made in her life.

After a while, they finally arrived at the backstage.

They had just entered the door when a round of thunderous applause greeted her.

“Congratulations, Mina! The show today was a resounding success!” Her assistant and best friend, Joyce Rivers, was chosen as the representative. She came forward with a bouquet of fresh flowers and presented them to Natalie.

Feeling extremely touched, Natalie accepted the bouquet before walking to the front. She turned to face the staff members present and gave a short but heartfelt speech.

“Today’s fashion show was a success only because of everyone’s hard work and preparations! While I’m not that good with words, I can promise all of you one thing. As long as you’re willing to stick with me, I’ll make sure that none of you will go hungry. Together, we shall accumulate a fortune for ourselves and live the dream!”

“Yeah!”

“Let’s do it!”

The crowd cheered at her speech.

Natalie felt her eyes grow wet with tears after seeing how excited and delighted everyone was.

Despite her words, she was not a materialistic person. It was just that the past five years had taught her a lot about life, and the most important was that – one could not do anything without money.

Thus, ever since what happened five years ago, she vowed to never stoop so low again just for the sake of money.

To celebrate the success of the fashion show, the crew had planned for a celebratory feast at Jasdale Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in J City.

Considering that the dinner would end pretty late, Natalie did not go with the rest as her kids would need to go to bed earlier. So instead, she drove back to the city center with Connor and Sharon.

The skies gradually darkened as night approached. Since this was the countryside, the roads here did not have any streetlights to illuminate them. Hence, Natalie drove incredibly slowly for everyone’s safety.

As she cruised down the road, she suddenly heard a loud thud while the car jerked slightly. She seemed to have collided with something. Shocked, she immediately slammed on the brakes.

Thankfully, this was the countryside, which meant there were not a lot of vehicles around here.

After instructing Connor to keep an eye on Sharon, Natalie got out of her car to take a look.

To her surprise and horror, the thing lying on the road was not an animal or an object but a man!

The man was already unconscious while lying in a puddle of blood.

At that instant, Natalie’s face turned as white as a sheet when she spotted the growing crimson stain.

Crap! Did I hit someone?
