Chapter 47

Natalie was puzzled. Why was the original subject so insistent on her getting married? She seemed even more eager than her mother, which was rather annoying. Still, she smiled and replied, "I understand, Phoebe." Thinking she had gotten through to her, Phoebe wore a satisfied expression. Once she left the room, Natalie quickly tidied up her desk. Sharing a bedroom meant little privacy, so it would be best for her to write outside in the future instead of at home. Later that night, after taking a shower, Natalie was about to head upstairs when Evelyn appeared around the corner and quietly called out to her. "Hey," she whispered. Natalie jumped a little, placing her hand on her chest. "What's wrong, Evelyn?" Evelyn glanced around to ensure no one else was nearby before speaking. "Since we have guests coming tomorrow, Mrs. Locke told me to make two new dishes instead of the usual ones. I've been thinking but couldn't develop new recipes, so I wanted to ask you." Now, it made sense.
