"Haha, Natalie has finally realised why she should move on." Her stepmother, Debbie roared in a joyous tone.

None of them had the slightest idea. Natalie rigged her fork into the food. "Here Natalie. I have the divorce papers prepared, now nothing can come in between you having a mam. A real man beside you."

Natalie hit her hand on the table.

Dylan's eyes shoot up and he saw his wife's reaction.

Dylan had always been an outcast. Even though he saw Natalie's anger from the corner of the room where he was sitting having his breakfast. He couldn't hear them.

"What! How dare you distraught the table." Her stepmother, Debbie shouts at her.

"Mother there is nothing you would do that will make me marry Lucien."

"Enough!" Shouts Debbie. "I don't want to hear anything from you."

Natalie aggressively stood up. "I'm not getting married to Lucien I don't if he's here or not, I have to come clean on my intention." Natalie gave Lucien an aggressive look.

    Dylan squints his brow in the same sense as the worker from the Dorogo Empire. "Perhaps somewhere under the bridge." Dylan shrugs rubbing the back of his head nervously. The woman nodded a smile and turn to Wayne. "I know it was nothing to tense over." Wayne rubbed her temple in disappointment. "No that isn't the case. I have seen you somewhere, in the Dorogo. . ." The worker was still consistent as she stops close to Dylan. "Are you being for real?" Wayne chuckled in disbelief. " I get that he looks handsome but a bump like him can't smell anything but ludicrous to the Dorogo," Wayne said. Dylan's gaze narrows on the woman for a second. The Dorogo empire was so big that it will take him a whole lot of work to know each worker individually. "That's right." The lady agreed. Dylan dressed in rags will never be close up with someone that had access to a place high up so the possibility of seeing Dylan there? Wayne finds it ridiculously impossible. "The Do

This is no treatment." Francis gave a suspicious cruel look and then adjust himself back into the seat. Dylan figured as the emissary man place the card in his pocket. "Young master Dylan." He shouts kicking the heavy double door behind him. "Believe me I have no idea." Dylan checked the name on his card, he was the emissary that he's waited for. The man had a hand hanging in the air. "You are way too late." Dylan checks his wrist for the time. "We're supposed to meet latest by ten but you took out time to have dinner with Francis in the case you rant launches." The man blinked a

    "Come on, try it again they must be an error somewhere else." Dylan did not fret, he glided down the spoon and start fetching a portion from the plate before him. "Hey! How can you eat in such a situation?" Natalie nagged. "The food would get cold better wait. Not that we can return it anyway." Dylan replied and continued chewing the food in his mouth. Debbie did not waste time she knew what Weiss could do. "This is all because of you Natalie. You kept him idle and now he's acting as he like." Natalie looked away. "What's the total to be spent." Debbie brings out her card instead. Natalie might be her stepdaughter but she still carried her family name which could be tampered with. She gave an angry look at Natalie that says you're dead when we leave here. "The total is twenty thousand ma'am." Debbie was almost crooked. What were Dylan and Natalie thinking? "Twenty thousand? That's a whole lot to be spent on just lunch." Debbie hit her hand to her head, "So? Are you going to p

    The breeze took into the sky. Dylan's head was still bent dishing his meal. "Wait, Dylan's meal is too big that it could feed us, even if Natalie treated us to say this is worth a lot." "Dylan eat slowly no one will take it away from you." Rumi hissed. Dylan was uncomfortable with their pitiful eyes ogling around him. "It's okay to eat, the food can't be mistaken for anything." "Weiss do something we can't just stand here and watch this eyesore right." Weiss turned to her friend with her hand digging into her purse. Rumi sneered and looked at Dylan. They wanted to hit him down real hard but now they feel as if they were the bumper here, skewed to one side. "Hey you brought us here, what are you going to be doing, better settle our bills already." "Can't you see he's eating the leftovers?" One of Weiss's friends chimed in. Hearing this Weiss chin up and clearer her throat. With a smile, she calls the waitress. "Let's be real here, minus his bills how much is everything in total

"Yes, it is, you dare question me?" Debbie splashes at Dylan. She was like an inferno, the incident at Cappadocia made her heart boil more and more. Debbie let out a sigh and then held Natalie's hand harder. Natalie winced from the pain of her stepmother's hand pressing against hers. "Dylan you son of a bitch." When Natalie saw Dylan she angrily shouts. "You're always on my nerves in one way or the other must agree to Weiss."

Then there was this sideburns as if he cared about anything that is going on. Natalie sighed.
