Chapter 221
"George, George..."
Grace shouted, but George ignored her. She could do nothing but stare at George's back disappointedly.
"Such a bitch." Grace murmured angrily.
...
After they walked few miles away, Nell angrily complained, "What's wrong with Grace? What does she mean by that? She pissed me off."
Audrey glared at her and said to Nataly, while holding her arm, "Don't take it to mind, Nataly."
"Yes!" Nell quickly joined, "Nataly, this type of person doesn't deserve your anger."
Nataly, who had been silent the whole time, smiled and held Audrey and Nell's hands, said indifferently, "Don't worry about me. I'm perfectly fine."
"Really?"
"Of course! Really." Said Nataly, "There wasn't anything between Mr. George and me. Everything was just a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding has been solved, of course, it's alright!"
Nell still wanted to say something, but Audrey reached out from behind and pinched her, indicating her shut up.
Nell shut her mouth tightly, not daring to say anything else, lest Nataly would feel even sadder.
Any sensible person could tell that Nell cared about it, but she had always been stronger than others.
Audrey pointed at a restaurant ahead. "Let's have dinner there tonight."
"Good idea!"
Nataly nodded too.
Grady and Harold didn't get to decide in front of the ladies. Wherever they went, the two of them followed.
However, just as the decision was made, someone suddenly showed up from behind and blocked their way.
It took George several minutes to catch his breath.
"You guys are really fast!" George gasped.
Nell glared at George unfriendly, "Mr. George, why aren't you with your noble cousin? We are not from the same world. You are a noble person and we are too low to talk to you."
Knowing that Nell was deliberately mocking him because of anger, George did not refute.
He stared at Nataly.
"Ms. Nataly, don't take Grace's words seriously. She always speaks that way..."
Before George finished his explanation, Nataly interrupted him with a smile.
"Mr. George, you don't have to explain."
George was delighted for a second.
"Then..."
Nataly added, "There was nothing between the two of us. It was Grace who misunderstood. So, if you may, please explain to her that there is nothing between us!"
George's face stiffened.
Nataly's words cut off all ties between them.
Seeing that George was silent, Nataly looked straight at him and smiled, "We have always been just friends, haven't we?"
That was right. Gorge and Nataly had never been in a relationship or something.
All of a sudden, George felt stupid for his behaviors.
"Uh, I mean, I just wanted to make things clear. Since it's alright now, then ... then bye! Enjoy the rest of your day."
"Take care, Mr. George!"
George left disappointedly.
After George left, Nataly pushed up her glasses calmly said "Aren't we going to that restaurant? Let's go!"
The rest people looked at each other in silence and followed behind Nataly.
Since Nataly had said so, there was no point commenting more.

After dinner, Bryson came to pick up Audrey and Harold.
Bryson drove the car himself, Harold spontaneously sat in the back seat, and Audrey sat beside the driver.
"By the way, have you eaten?" Audrey asked as soon as they got into the car.
Bryson glanced at her. "Not yet!"
Audrey frowned. "Why haven't you eaten yet? Dinners are important."
"Cook for me when we get back!"
"But ... there are only noodles in the house."
"Noodles are delicious as long as you are the cook!"
Harold lost his words.
'Police officer, please save me from this!' He complained silently.
"How was it, Quentin? Did you have fun this afternoon?" Bryson asked suddenly.
Harold hurriedly replied, "I enjoyed it very much, thanks for asking, George."
His complaints disappeared.
Seeing their interaction, Audrey lost her words.
'It seems like they get along well.' She thought.
Returning home, Harold said that he wanted to rest and escaped to his bedroom right away. He couldn't stand more public display of affection.
Audrey washed her hands and entered the kitchen.
Soon, a bowl of fragrant, steaming noodles was served.
Audrey placed the noodles on the table.
When Bryson was eating noodles, Audrey sat opposite him and watched him eat. Seeing Bryson eat with relish, Audrey felt a sense of accomplishment.
Looking at it, Audrey thought of Nataly again and frowned slightly.
Bryson noticed the subtle changes on her face.
"Audrey?" Bryson suddenly called out.
Audrey blinked. "Is it not delicious?"
Bryson shook his head.
"What are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing. It's just ... about Nataly." Audrey murmured, "You should hurry up and eat. The noodles won't be in shape for long."
"OK." Bryson took another bite of noodles. "What happened to Ms. Nataly?"
"It's her and George." Audrey sighed. "We all noticed that she is interested in Mr. George. As he has feelings for her too, but..."
Audrey briefly explained what happened in the evening.
In the end, Audrey sighed and said, "I feel sorry for them."
Bryson petted her on the nose.
"The things about the Kuhns are kind of tricky. You know, Madam Kuhn cherishes social status."
"We all know that. Nataly knows better than anyone else."
"I'll try to pry out how Madam Kuhn thinks about it next time and keep you posted." NôvelDrama.Org content.
Audrey looked up brightly, "Good idea."
Bryson touched her face. "So, stop frowning. It makes you ugly!"
Audrey immediately put on a straight face.
"Do you think I'm ugly?"
"No matter how ugly you are, you are always the most beautiful for me!"
