Shattered Then Healed By His Love (by Haley Blanton) novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80 The Thing You Wanted

Lily’s steps unconsciously quickened.

Seeing this, Jackson felt both angry and amused.

Just how afraid of him was she?

Didn’t his uncle usually act colder than he did?

Natalie had originally planned to stop by a used car dealership that evening to look for a car she could use for commuting. But after what happened today, she lost all interest in car shopping. She took Lily home early and started preparing dinner.

Lucy also finished work earlier than usual, and by the time she got home, Natalie had just finished cooking.

“I thought you weren’t back yet! Didn’t expect you to beat me here.” Lucy frowned slightly as gaze fell on the table full of food. “Why did you make all this?” her

“There’s a saying I like: when your heart is wounded, you should eat well. The stomach is the closest organ to the heart, so once it’s full, your mood improves.”

Lucy’s grip on her fork tightened.

Natalie lifted her gaze and continued, “Even if I did find proof, in my current situation, what could I do? Put a knife to her throat?”

Lucy’s face darkened further.

“Even if I managed to put her away, Jackson would probably have her out within an hour. Do you believe me?”

Natalie’s voice was calm, though the curve of her lips carried a mocking smile.

Lucy met her eyes and sensed something hidden in their depths, unfathomable.

“But we can’t just let it slide…”
