Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law

Chapter 79 - Go And Apologize To Her...

''Natalie, this is the first time you are telling me about how you feel. This is the first time you are expressing your anger and disappointment at someone. I just feel that it is a huge development from the last time.

''No, Andrea. It's not like I am nagging or trying to vent out but shouldn't he stick to what he says? He gave me a nickname. He was calling me Natalie Jun, then, he started calling me Natalie. And we moved to him calling me Natie. But, last night, he went back to calling me Natalie Jun. Isn't he directly drawing a line between us?''

''How did you feel when he called your full name?''

''I felt like we had just returned to how we were in the past. I felt a certain distance between us. Andrea, I am seriously confused by him. he is so unpredictable and doesn't act according to the norm''

''Did you like it when he called you Natie?''

''Huh? Did you ask me whether I liked it or not?'' Natalie raised her brows.

''Yes, I asked if you liked the name he gave you?''

''Well… it was unique and felt nice when he called me by that. but, do you think he will suddenly go back to calling me Natalie Jun?''

''The only one who knows the answer is Mikael and the only to find out is to ask him directly. Will you ask him?''

''No! why should I ask him? It will just make him think that I liked been called that name'' Natalie replied sharply and looked at her wrist watch. ''I should go to work now before I get late. Thanks for meeting with me even though this was impromptu''

''You are always welcome'' Dr. Andrea stood up and followed Natalie out of the consulting room.

As they walked towards the elevator, Natalie stopped when she saw a familiar figure coming out of the elevator. The woman who was clothed in a black pants and blue blouse with a brow fur coat over her shoulder was walking towards them as the patients and hospital workers muttered.

Natalie shifted her gaze and was about to walk away when she heard the woman mention her name.

''Natalie, right?'' Eunice asked and her upper lip curved into a mockery smirk.

''Can I help you?'' Natalie asked her.

''I almost couldn't get married thanks to you. Because you went and tattled to your bother in law, he decided to get revenge for you by sabotaging me. But, your mother offered me a better deal. Right, your mother did say that you were the one breaking her poor heart all the time with your needless presence''

''What?''

''Natalie, calm down'' Dr, Andrea touched Natalie's arm before saying to Eunice, ''Miss, may I remind you that this a hospital and you need to refrain from disturbing other patients?''

Eunice turned to look at Dr. Andrea and asked, ''are you her doctor? I heard from Mimi that you had some mental issues in the past''

''I guess what Mikael did to you wasn't enough to make you realise that you shouldn't mess with me, Miss Eunice…''

''Why? Do you want to go and tattle about this to him too?''

''Can't I do that? You think you can insult me and I don't have the right to tattle about it?'' Natalie's gaze turned cold as she looked at Eunice, ''I just try my best to live life each day peacefully but it doesn't also mean that I will stand by and watch someone try to bully or look down on me. You and I don't know each other so stop acting proud and arrogant in front of me. You are lecturing me? Based on what right? I have no relationship with Solace Song. My last name is Jun, not Song''

''What?'' Eunice became speechless.

''If you don't want to get banned from the industry then learn to mind your business. Ah, right! You already retired and considered no longer useful. Excuse me!'' Natalie hanged her bag properly and walked to the elevator. She smiled at Eunice before the lift carried her away.

Dr. Andrea chuckled and turned to walk away. Eunice gasped and her face distorted.

….

''Assh, that woman totally made my mood worse. Why did I have to meet such nuisance early in the morning? She is so bitter'' Natalie muttered as she walked out of the hospital. She stopped when she saw Mikael standing in front of the passenger door of his car. he was watching her.

''Get in'' he said and opened the door.

''Do I know you?'' Natalie asked and frowned, but she suddenly smirked as an idea came to mind. today, he wasn't wearing a mask. Getting people to recognise him was a piece of cake. She looked at her left and right before shouting.

''It's Mikael Sun, the movie star''

Mikael looked at her with a shocked gaze as the people started surrounding him. He watched Natalie as she smirked and started walking away.

Natalie swung her bag happily as she walked away. The expression on Mikael's face was priceless and she was enjoying what she did to him.

''Next time, you don't mess with me'' she muttered.

…..

Natalie got into the elevator with William and Amy. They were on their way to a meeting to discuss about the launching of the new jewellery 'Shadowed Beauty'

Natalie's phone buzzed as she stood next to William who looked at her with a curious gaze. He noticed her turning off the phone.

''Answer it, it might be important'' William said to her.

''It's not important'' Natalie said and the call came in again.

''I think it's important if the person is calling for the second time'' William insisted.

''Natalie, it's okay to answer the call'' Amy said to her.

''Alright'' Natalie looked at the phone and sighed when she saw Solace's name ID pop up. she answered saying, 'what do you want?''

''Let's meet right now'' Solace' voice which was far from being pleasant came through.

''I'm at work and busy. If there is nothing else, let's talk later''

''I am already downstairs. Come down, you wouldn't want me to come up and look for you, right?''

''What do you want to talk about? I don't have time; I'm going for a meeting with my boss''

''Natalie, don't try to act smart with me. Come down, right now''

Natalie hung up the call and tightened her grip on the phone. Her face looked uncomfortable.

''We are going to the meeting hall. meet us there once you are done'' William said and got out of the elevator with Amy.

''I won't keep long'' Natalie pressed the ground floor number and clenched her fists tightly. She looked at her fingers that were still quivering under her fists and muttered, ''Natalie, you are strong. You don't have to listen to anything she says. Just treat her as the seasonal wind that comes and goes''

When Natalie got out of the elevator, she went towards the entrance and saw Solace's driver standing beside her car and she walked over. The driver upon seeing her opened the backseat for her and she got in.

''I have a meeting that I must attend, tell me why you came looking for me'' Natalie said. She looked ahead and didn't bother to face Solace nor exchange pleasantries with her. Between them, there was nothing like that anymore.

''Ali, start the car'' Solace said ignoring Natalie's question.

''Where are we going? No, where are you taking me to?'' Natalie turned to face her as she asked.

''We are going to my friend's place. You are going to apologise to her for your rude behaviour at the hospital today. Why are you always putting me in a thick situation? Don't you ever think about how your behaviour makes me feel as your mother? Natalie, when will you stop acting so brazen? You are so determined to ruin my reputation and also embarrass me, right?'' Solace asked with a twisted face. She felt that Natalie was on a mission to make things difficult for her.

Natalie looked at her and frowned. For a second she was speechless and didn't know what to say. Her mother has never shown her any affection and she has lost hope on ever making her show her any form of love but this was her bottom line. She wasn't going to do such a thing.

''Stop the car, Ali'' Natalie said. Her voice sounded very cold.

''Continue to drive, Ali'' Solace commanded. Of course, he was her driver hence he had to listen to her more.

''Stop the car or I will open the door right now and jump out''

''What?''

''Once I am dead, you will finally be free, right?''

''Hey, Natalie. How dare you say such a thing?''

''My question to you exactly. How dare you say such a thing to me. You want me to go and apologise to your friend? You want me to stop embarrassing you? I always put you in a thick situation? Right, nicely spoken. I don't know how my behaviour puts you in a difficult position because you are not my mother. You abandoned me and picked up a new family. Stop acting like you have ever played a mother figure in my life''
