Chapter 11 Tears welled up in Natalies eyes as she confessed , I was so focused on Easton that I lost sight of what truly mattered . I hurt Grandpa , Gordon ignored me , and Harley left the country because of me . But youve always been here , no questions asked . She took a deep breath , her voice steady . James , Im done being a pushover . Im done with Easton for good . If I- James let out a soft chuckle , gently interrupting her , Well , youre making me all misty eyed , girl . Just stay true to yourself , and let life handle the rest . With a firm nod , Natalie declared , And I wont let anyone whos made me cry off the hook . She wasnt just looking for an apology from Jennifer ; she wanted to reclaim her life , the one Jennifer had taken from her . James brought Natalie back to Tranquil Manor , a grand villa of 4200 square yards . Its marble like white walls and lofty thirty foot windows filled the space with light , creating an impressive ambiance , just as Natalie liked . The layout was simple : Lambert on the first floor , Natalie on the second , her eldest brother James on the third , and her second and third brothers , Gordon and Harley sharing the fourth . Each floor was equipped with their favorite entertainment spots . On her floor , Natalie had a 145 square yard library and a gym right next door . This was where she grew up . Ironically , she was living in a less privileged town for a life experience when the Simpsons found her . As a result , they saw her as a simple country girl with limited potential . She had fallen for Easton at first sight , willing to sever ties with her grandfather to be with him . In hindsight , she realized how foolish she had been . Grandpa , Im home , Natalie called out as she entered . Lambert , caught in the act of sneaking a drink , jolted at the sound of her voice , spilling the liquor onto his hand . Ouch … hot , he grumbled , glaring at Natalie . No need to shout it from the rooftops . Natalie raised an eyebrow at his trembling hand . Grandpa , I didnt mean to give you a heart attack . Lambert huffed , Your arrival is like a whirlwind . It turns everything upside down . Natalie touched her nose , doubting her own influence . Lambert glanced at the hot wine in his glass , quietly grumbling about the difficulty of taking a sip without being noticed . Hmm … James , Grandpas at it again with the secret drinking , Natalie said , eyeing the glass . Given her grandfathers health issues , she intended to prevent him from drinking . Lamberts mouth twitched , reflecting on his granddaughters talent for causing a stir . He drained the glass in one go and patted his chest with a satisfied sigh . Oh , that hits the spot ! Natalie and James shared a look , both speechless . Dinners ready , Lambert announced , his face still stern as he headed to the dining room . James carried Natalie to the dining room for the meal . The dinner was a feast , but without her sense of taste , Natalie ate in vain . After the meal , the staff served some fruit . It was then that Lambert noticed her injured foot and asked , You walked out fine , but youre carried back . What happened ? Did you run into a ghost ? 1/2 wed , Chapter 11 Natalies face fell . Worse , ran into a person more terrifying than any ghost . 补气 80 % Suddenly , with a burst of energy , Natalie raised her head and declared , Grandpa , I am the master of my own life , not a pawn of fate . If fate wants to take me down , Ill take it down first Just as she finished , thunder cracked outside . Natalie instinctively ducked . Lamberts eyes widened . Natalie , happiness is what matters most . Lets not upset the heavens too much . I … Im off to bed . Thunder , you know , I dont do so well with it . He hurried off , avoiding the impending storm , like a child fleeing from a scary movie . Natalie watched him go , speechless . James couldnt suppress his chuckles , amused by the sight Natalies zest seemed to quicken even Lamberts step . Natalie , lets get you to your room to rest . Keep your spirits up . Weve got to look forward , right ? If we dont miss out on the bad , how would we recognize the good ? James stood up , ready to carry Natalie . Natalie agreed with her brother .
