The Shaw sisters recovered from their brief pause and chuckled with her. "Natalie, our family business will reach new heights with you at the helm. Just don't forget about us when you're running the show." Natalie basked in their flattery with a smug grin plastered across her face. After a while, she cast me a dismissive glance. "You've spent ten years chasing after me. Who else would even want you? Let me make one thing clear…" She gestured for the other Shaw sisters to leave the room. "To avoid repeating the same mistakes, I'll marry you. But my heart belongs to Matthew. As long as you stay out of our way, I'll let you have the title and honor of being my husband in name." My eyes widened in shock at those words. In the previous life, she had hidden it too well. She had never dared say something like that outright. Had she been reborn, too? Just as I hesitated to ask, a figure approached us. "Cole, what are you and Natalie doing standing here?" Matthew Franklin was talking to me, but his gaze was fixed on Natalie. Natalie's eyes instantly welled up with tears. She turned around and threw herself into Matthew's arms. Then, she cooed in a tone I had never heard her use before. "Matthew, what are you doing here?" Matthew was stunned for a second before he wrapped his arms around her even tighter. He shot me a taunting look and tried to sound flustered. "Natalie, you're Cole's fiancee. This isn't proper."
