Echoes of a Forsaken Heart novel Chapter 155

Hamilton's brow furrowed as soon as Natalia finished speaking.

"You know damn well this is between you and me and has nothing to do with Eveleen. So why can't you just let her be?"

Natalia met Hamilton's gaze head-on, and after a brief moment, she let out a derisive snort.

No one knew how much she didn't want to be tangled up with Eveleen anymore.

It made her seem so unreasonable, as if she couldn't let go.

Even if she didn't keep Eveleen in check, would Eveleen leave her alone?

No way.

As long as Hamilton didn't cut ties with her once and for all, Eveleen would only double down.

She sneered. "Really? Nothing to do with her? Hamilton, what's the point of lying to yourself? Or do you think this will cover up your true colors as a jerk?"

Natalia didn't mince words, and her gaze was icy as she looked at Hamilton.

He could see the chill in her eyes, and his heart sank even more.

Suddenly, he regretted saying what he had just said.

"I didn't mean that."

He paused, then asked somewhat helplessly, "So what do you want me to do?"

Natalia didn't expect Hamilton to ask her that. But after a moment of silence, she said, "I'm going to sue Eveleen for intentional harm and defamation. I want her to pay for what she's done. All you need to do is nothing; just stay out of it."

Hamilton's face tightened, his eyes darkening.

He didn't think Natalia would still be hung up on that stuff.

"Are you really that concerned about all that?"

"Yes, I am."

She was determined to get justice for herself and her child.

It wasn't fair that she should suffer because of Eveleen and Hamilton.

But it was clear that Hamilton wasn't about to stand by and do nothing.

With a frown, he looked at Natalia, his face looking worse than when he first came in.

He didn't want to further sour his relationship with Natalia.

He had even used a business deal to lure her out, all in hopes of taking this chance to win her back.

But for years, protecting Eveleen had almost become an ingrained duty.

He couldn't possibly, and wouldn't, abandon Eveleen.

"Natalia, I've been trying to distance myself from Eveleen."

"Is that working? Hamilton, we both know that your distancing is just for show. When she's in trouble, you'll still stand by her!"

Hamilton's face was grim, and he didn't reply.

Natalia's expression darkened.

After what felt like an eternity, she laughed bitterly, "Hamilton, is Eveleen your first love or what? Anyone would think she's your sacred cow!"

She just couldn't understand

Hamilton's attitude towards Eveleen.

If he cared about Eveleen, why didn't he accept her despite her constant attempts to get back with him?

If he didn't care about Eveleen, why did he still resolutely stand by her no matter what happened?

Natalia simply couldn't grasp this kind of emotion.

Maybe it was as Alden said—

Eveleen was a beacon in his life.

So, no matter what, he wouldn't cast her aside.

Hamilton clearly didn't take kindly to her words.

His gaze turned cold, his eyes flashing with a dangerous warning.

"Natalia, watch your language."

Natalia let out another cold laugh. "Forgive me, Mr. Fowler. And there's more where that came from, so would you kindly get the hell out of here!"

Hamilton's eyes narrowed sharply. "What did you say?"

"I said get out! Can't you understand English?"

Natalia didn't want to argue with him anymore.

In fact, there was never any need to.
