A Cue for Love novel Chapter 769

Chapter 769 Uncomfortable

A few days later, Diane, who was about to leave Chanaea, invited Natalie to an orphanage.

Natalie dressed casually in a pink top and a pair of jeans, and went to the orphanage.

Diane had already arrived by the time Natalie got there. She waved Natalie over when she saw her.

“Lady Diane,” Natalie greeted her politely.

Diane was pleased to see that Natalie was not wearing her hyper-realistic mask. “You are such a pretty lady. What a pity it is to cover it up with that mask. Don’t get me wrong; the mask is beautiful, but you don’t need to wear it anymore.”

Natalie knew that Diane found the mask repulsive. She smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll heed your advice.”

Natalie thought of the help that Diane had given her at Imperial Hotel and thanked her graciously. “Thank you so much for lending me your makeup and clothes at the hotel back then. I managed to escape a crisis. Otherwise, I would have been in a lot of trouble if I started trending.”

“It was no trouble, child!” Diane patted Natalie’s hand in a motherly fashion. “I saw the news. I wouldn’t have expected her to be your sister! How could she be so cruel to you? How did she even think of something so evil? Nobody would blame you for what happened to her! She deserves to suffer the consequences.”

Natalie was once hurt over what had happened with Yara, but now, all she felt was hatred and disappointment.

Diane stroked the back of Natalie’s hand gently. “After the whole Dream fiasco and the trouble with the press, Yohan and I kept an eye on the news. Your comeback was amazing! I was so impressed. That silly boy, Yohan… He wanted to give up, but… He really wants to forget you, but he can’t seem to…”

Natalie realized that Diane was about to get upset about Yohan and her again. She quickly put a stop to it. “Lady Diane, you don’t have to worry about him! He is still young and the world is so big. The first love may not be the last or the best. He is bound to meet a better person in the future!”

With those words, Natalie had firmly stated her disinterest in Yohan to Diane while still preserving their dignity.

The director was sincerely grateful for Diane’s patronage. The children, too, had prepared a special performance to show their appreciation to Diane.

The performance ran for an hour. Diane sat and watched the entire show earnestly. Natalie, however, needed to use the washroom. She slipped out of the hall quietly during the show.

Outside the hall, she caught sight of a pair of girl about eight or nine years old who were tugging unkindly on a younger girl’s hair.

“What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue? Why aren’t you saying anything?” one of the girls taunted viciously.

“You’re mute, you’re a mute girl!” the other girl sang cruelly in a sing-song voice.

Natalie frowned in displeasure. So young and already bullying! She could not help stepping forward and calling out, “Stop! What are you two doing?”
