It was all because he could take everyone forward and give hope to the poor children.
She didn’t realize until today that Brandon had actually shouldered some heavy responsibilities.
“If you don’t like events like that, I don’t mind attending alone,” Brandon said. He felt bad for Natalie,
especially seeing how tired she was. He med himself for not taking good care of her.
She was already busy with work, but now she had to attend events like this with him after her work.
Natalie held the back of Brandon’s hand and smiled. “That’s not what I mean. After seeing what
happened today, I realized that I can’t just focus on being a designer. I also have to consider my
identity as your wife —as Mrs. Larson.”
At that point, she couldn’t help but think about Laney. Although she didn’t have to worry about any
family conflicts with Brandon’s parents, being his wife wasn’t as easy as she thought.
She realized that she shouldn’t be so selfish. That she should think more for the Larson Group.
Brandon let out a deep sigh and held Natalie in his arms. “Honey…”
“Let’s just talk about it when we go back. Sean is watching us,” Natalie whispered in his ear. From the
corner of her eye, she noticed that Sean had been eavesdropping.
Sean’s eyes widened in surprise when Brandon suddenly nced at him. He really was
eavesdropping.
He cleared his throat and sat up straight.
“Stop the car,” Brandon suddenly said. “You’re off duty for today, Sean. I have to take my wife
somewhere.”
“Oh,” Sean murmured as he looked out of the window. It was cold outside and there were barely any
people around.
He felt helpless, but he eventually got off the car.
“Aren’t you taking it a little too far?” Natalie asked. “I feel bad for him.”
“He’ll be fine. He can take the cold weather.” Brandon emotionlessly replied while he moved to the
driver’s seat and started the car.
Before long, the silver-ck Maybach sped off, and the scenery outside kept shing back until
Brandon finally stopped at the seaside.
“Why are we here?” Natalie’s eyes widened in surprise. She wound down the window and let the salty
sea breeze blow her soft hair.
She felt much better.
“You painted for me once, didn’t you? I took the painting and asked Sean to help me find out where it
was and he told me it should be around here,” replied Brandon shyly. He had been searching for the
ce for a long time. He was over the moon when he received the good news from Sean.
It then urred to Natalie that Brandon had lost his memory.
He had forgotten the two years’ worth of memories that they created together. Sometimes she just kept
forgetting about that.
“It’s not this ce, but it does look simr. You took me to an ind back then,” said Natalie as she
reminisced about the past. The scene where they kissed in the setting sun came to her mind and she
couldn’t help smiling. “But I like this ce very much. It looks very much like that ind.”
Just then, the sun was about to set and it was beautiful. Brandon opened the door and carried Natalie
out of the car in his arms. He walked toward the beach and crossed the fence bordering the beach from
the road before putting her down on the sand steadily.
Lowering his head, Brandon kissed her gently for a while before he bore to let go of her.
Leaning her headfortably against his chest, Natalie said softly, “I like this ce.”
Before the sun disappeared across the horizon, Brandon borrowed sketching tools from an artist
nearby for Natalie. “No, I’m not doing it. I already have your portrait at home,” said Natalie cheekily.
She gave the tools to Brandon and continued, “This time, I will be your model and you will draw.”
Brandon was stunned. He knotted his brows in concern and said, “But… I don’t draw.”
However, looking at Natalie’s determined eyes, he had to obey her order. “Okay. But I have to warn you
that I’m not very good at it.”
“I believe in you,” said Natalie sweetly. She kissed him on the cheek and posed on the reef. She was
filled with anticipation for the final product.
An hourter, the sun had setpletely.
“Are you done?” shouted Natalie from the reef. She walked up to Brandon with curiosity in her eyes.
“You’re too slow.” She peered over his shoulders to see his progress. He seemed to have drawn a sea
monster collecting shells on the reef!
Embarrassed, Brandon took the drawing off the easel and was about to tear it into pieces. However,
Natalie stopped him and snatched the sketch away, holding it in her arms as if it was a treasure.
“Don’t look at it. I’ll take some sses before I draw another one for you,” said Brandan hurriedly. He
wanted to grab the paper back but Natalie wouldn’t let him.
Brendan was a rare talent and a fast learner. He used to excel in all courses except for art when he
was in school.
In university, Garrett loved art and he had many suitors that followed him around. As such, heter
used Brandon’s name in enrolling in art sses.
When Garrett got bored and just quit, Brandon had to keep on going to the art sses as he wanted to
score well enough to graduate. He never did well though.

He always felt frustrated when it came to drawing as he was embarrassed to show his ugly work to
people.
Natalie tried containing herughter but atst, she couldn’t help bursting out, “I didn’t expect you to
have such a weakness! But to be honest, you really do sick at drawing!”
Embarrassed, Brandon caught her in his arms and covered her lips with his hand. “Don’tugh. Let me
try again!” cried Brandon desperately.
The full moon had reced the setting sun, and the sea rippled under the soft moonlight. After a long
time of chasing and ying by the sea, the two of them fell on the sand andughed happily.
When Natalie got back to the car, her makeup waspletely ruined and her shoes were full of sand.
However, she didn’t feel embarrassed at all. She felt that she didn’t have to care about her looks when
she was with Brandon.
