Natalie couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She had seen a figure on the rooftop, resembling
Charis. It couldn’t be a mere coincidence. There had to be someone behind the scenes trying to harm
her. Perhaps it was connected to the constant harassment from Charis’s “ghost.”
Determined, Natalie made up her mind to tell Brandon everything. However, before she could utter a
word, his phone rang once again.
Brandon’s phone rang, and he answered it with a hint of annoyance. As soon as he heard the caller’s
news, his anger flared up, causing him to abruptly stand up from the sofa.
“How did this happen? Where’s the technician on duty tonight?” Brandon exclaimed, frustration evident
in his voice.
Natalie, who had been about to say something, hesitated. She could see that Brandon was
overwhelmed with the responsibility of running the company alone. Garrett and Charis, the two senior
executives, were no longer part of the Larson Group, and finding reliable replacements had proven
difficult.
Realizing the weight on Brandon’s shoulders, Natalie decided to hold back her words. Concerned, she

“It’s nothing for you to worry about. I’ve already asked the technician to handle it,” Brandon replied,
trying to reassure her.
After hanging up the phone, Brandon let out a weary sigh. When he turned to look at Natalie, his
exp**ssion softened, and he pulled her into his arms.
“Don’t worry. I’ll investigate who did this, and I’ll assign more bodyguards to protect you,” Brandon
assured her, his voice filled with determination.
Natalie sighed, finding solace in Brandon’s embrace. Being close to him made her feel safe and
relaxed, despite the troubles they faced.
“Don’t worry too much about this, okay? I have a feeling that whoever is behind this will strike again. In
fact, I look forward to facing her,” Natalie said confidently. She believed she could handle any threat
that came their way, even if it was Charis’s ghost seeking revenge. Natalie knew she hadn’t done
anything wrong, so there was nothing to fear.
Hearing her words, Brandon misunderstood Natalie’s intentions. He thought she didn’t want
bodyguards around her, preferring to maintain a low profile.
Cupping Natalie’s face gently, Brandon explained, “If you feel suffocated by the bodyguards, I’ll tell
them to keep their distance. They won’t follow you closely.”
Natalie remembered that the old Brandon had secretly hired Laney to protect her under the guise of
being her friend. Brandon didn’t want to repeat the same mistake and wanted to be transparent with
Natalie now.
“It’s actually fine. It’s not a big deal, really,” Natalie replied, shaking her head. “I’ve realized that nothing
is more important than being with you, safe and sound. Trust me, I will take responsibility for both
myself and you.”
Brandon looked at her with newfound respect. “My, my, you’ve grown up so much,” he remarked,
sighing softly as he gently stroked her hair.
Curious, Natalie pursed her l*ps and looked up at Brandon. He appeared unchanged, but she sensed
something different about him. “What are you talking about? I’m still the same person.”
“I just feel like you used to live a simple and carefree life before. Now, you’re burdened with so many
things…” Brandon’s eyes reflected affection and sympathy.

“But I promise you, Natalie, I’ll regain my memories. I don’t want to miss anything about you. You’re
incredibly precious to me,” Brandon declared, his words causing a lump to form in Natalie’s throat. She
smiled, tears glistening in her eyes.
Brandon’s sincerity touched her deeply. He rarely exp**ssed his feelings like this before, and Natalie
hadn’t realized how much he valued their relationship. Their bond had played a significant role in their
personal growth.
However, Natalie knew that recovering Brandon’s memories wouldn’t be easy, and she was afraid to
hope too much. High expectations often led to greater disappointment.
To lighten the somber atmosphere, Natalie snorted sarcastically. “You have no idea how foolish I used
to be. I had a sister who constantly bullied me, and it took me a while to gather the courage to stand up
to her.”
“Really? What happened?” Brandon asked, his eyes lighting up with intrigue.
As they sat together on the sofa, Natalie recounted her past experiences with the Quinn family, leading
up to the moment she met Brandon. Determined, she made up her mind to protect him and help him
regain their lost memories.
