Chapter 2223

She stood frozen in place and clenched her fists as tears rolled down her face.

She would never forget how discomfited she had become, and if there was another chance for her to be successful again, she would never forget the humiliation she had experienced.

It started raining shortly after, pulling Natalie's mind back to reality.

Since the hut had been abandoned for a long time, there were leaks. The roof leaked.

With the fading light of the sun, she checked the entire hut and found over ten spots that leaked. Natalie hastily found buckets and pots to catch the rainwater.

Just then, the screen of her phone lit up. She received a message.

Meanwhile, in one of the stores in the city center, Hayden and his siblings stared at the rain.

"Woah! It's a rainstorm! Hayden, did we bring umbrellas with us?" Layla tugged at Hayden's jacket as she stared at the rain.

"There's an umbrella in the car, but there's only one. I will find a way to carry Robert to the car first and come back for you," the bodyguard said before taking off his jacket to wrap it around Robert.

Soon, Robert was wrapped in a cocoon made of the bodyguard's jacket. Only his eyes were exposed. Before he could protest, the bodyguard darted toward the parking lot with Robert in his arms.

"Hayden, let's run over as well!" Layla wanted to run through the rain. She had her older brother with her, and she wanted to take the opportunity to do something crazy with him; that way, Avery would not get angry at her even if they got wet.

Just as Hayden considered her request, Layla grabbed his hand and dragged him into the rain.

"Hayden! I'm so happy! This is so fun! It's even more fun because you are here!" Layla shouted in excitement.

Hayden was both frustrated and defeated. "Don't come crying to me if you catch a cold!"

"What's there to cry about over a cold? I can just take medicine! You still think of me as a little kid when I'm all grown up!" Layla said casually. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Over at the parking lot, the bodyguard set Robert down and was relieved to find that the rain had not gotten to him when he heard Layla's shout.

The bodyguard grabbed the umbrella and turned around; he instantly stiffened when he saw Layla and Hayden running in the rain.

The two got to the car and Hayden immediately helped Layla into the car.

"For the love of god! Didn't I tell you to wait for me?" The bodyguard felt helpless at how drenched they were. "Hayden, Layla might not know how to control herself, but how can you play along? You two are going to get a scolding when you get back."

Layla grabbed a box of tissue to wipe her face, before handing it to Hayden.

"Mommy isn't home, and she might not even come back tonight!" Layla said with a big smile on her face. "I was the one who dragged Hayden into the rain. If Mom finds out, do not tell her that Hayden started it."

Rendered speechless, the bodyguard muttered, "We will see! At least now I know who to carry into the car first the next time this happens."

Layla pouted. "It's just a run in the rain. It's not like I do it every day. I'm sure I won't catch a co— Achoo!"

The bodyguard immediately set the heater up.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at Elliot's mansion and Layla spotted Avery inside the house before she even opened the car door.
