Chapter 1344

Caitlin was about to invite the bodyguard into the house as well, but he said all of a sudden, "I shall
wait for you at the management office, Madam.Just give me a call when you're done with your business
here or if anything happens."

"All right" Natalie nodded.

She had thought about having the bodyguard wait outside too as Caitlin and Jonathan would probably
feel uncomfortable being around him.

That was the main reason Natalie chose to bring only one bodyguard with her and had the other three
remain at the hotel.

"Here you go, Madam."

The bodyguard then handed Natalie a few bags before making his way toward the elevator.

"It's okay to let him come in with you, Nat," Caitlin said.

"Don't worry about it, Mrs.Rivers.We'll just have him wait for me outside" Natalie replied with a smile.

Since she had put it that way, Caitlin decided not to argue any further and led her into the house while
Jonathan shut the door behind them.

"Here, I brought you two some nutritional supplements!" Natalie said while handing them the bags.

Caitlin waved at her.

"Oh, no, we can't accept this gift!"



"That's right.Joyce brought us a lot of stuff too when she came back a few days ago.She told us it was
a gift from you.We've already accepted those, so we can't be accepting these anymore.Please, do take
them back!" Jonathan added.

Of course, Natalie had anticipated that they would refuse her gifts.

"Oh, but I insist!"

"No, we really can't be accepting such expensive gifts!"

Caitlin exclaimed.

Had Justin not told them the price of the stuff Joyce brought them, they would never have guessed that
it was worth hundreds of thousands.

As such, they figured the supplements that Natalie bought them were also ridiculously expensive.

"I understand your concern, but this stuff really isn't expensive for me at all.Also, these are from both
me and my husband.He is extremely grateful to you two for showering me with so much love and
care.That's why I must insist that you two accept these gifts as our token of appreciation.Besides, it'd
be really hard for me to carry all of them back, no?" Natalie said as she placed the bags on the coffee
table.

Caitlin and Jonathan exchanged conflicted looks after hearing that.

"But..."

Eventually, Jonathan gave in and nodded at her.

"In that case, we'll accept your gifts.Thank you, Natalie.Oh, please give our thanks to your husband
too."



"Don't mention it! You two had saved me, my two kids, and my mother back then!" Natalie replied with
a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

Six months have passed since Mom died...

Time really flies, huh?

"Oh, we were just doing what anyone else would've done! Helping those in need is the right thing to
do!"

Caitlin said as she sat down on the couch.

Natalie nodded.

"You're absolutely right, Mrs.Rivers!"

"Jonathan, how about you go cut up some fruits for Nat?" Caitlin asked while giving him a pat on the
shoulder.

"Sure” Jonathan mumbled and made his way over to the kitchen.

After taking a moment to glance around the living room, Natalie asked, "By the way, where is Joyce? Is
she not home right now?"

"She went out shopping with Justin earlier’ Caitlin replied while pouring her a cup of tea.

Natalie gave her a confused look.

"Justin? Who's that?"



"Justin Sutter.He's the kid of the family who lived next door twenty years ago.He likes Joyce, so he
came looking for her"

Caitlin explained with a chuckle.

"Oh, I see..." Natalie nodded.

Huh...

So this guy who likes Joyce just popped out of nowhere all of a sudden? Could he have something to
do with the recent strange incidents? Mrs.Rivers said he was their neighbor twenty years ago, so Joyce
was only about six at the time.

Justin can't be too far off either, so he was probably about ten at most.

What could a ten-year-old kid possibly know about love? On top of that, they haven't seen each other
for twenty years now! Would he really still have feelings for her after so long? And even if he was that
precocious and fell for Joyce at that age, why didn't he come sooner? Why wait for twenty years? Not
only did he wait so ridiculously long, but he also came right when Joyce was displaying abnormal
behavior! Therefore, it's highly possible that he has something to do with her sudden change!
