Chapter 2223


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


    She would never forget how difited she had be, and if there was another chance for her


    to be sessful 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 umbres with us?" La tugged at Hayden''s jacket


    as she stared at the rain.


    "There''s an umbre in the car, but there''s only one. I will find a way to carry Robert to the car first


    ande 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!" La 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, La 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!" La shouted in


    excitement.


    Hayden was both frustrated and defeated. "Don''te 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!" La said casually.


    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 La''s shout.


    The bodyguard grabbed the umbre and turned around; he instantly stiffened when he saw La


    and Hayden running in the rain.


    The two got to the car and Hayden immediately helped La 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, La might not know how to control herself, but how can you y along? You


    two are going to get a scolding when you get back."


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


    "Mommy isn''t home, and she might not evene back tonight!" La 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."


    La 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 hourter, the car arrived at Elliot''s mansion and La spotted Avery inside the house


    before she even opened the car door.
