DreameNovelChapter 302 One Wrong Step Led to Another
Natalie watched as Sophia cried and reached for a tissue to hand to her. "You're still in postpartum recovery, so
it's best not to cry too much.
"If you're worried that I'll expose the truth about Marcus’ savior, | can tell you right now that you have nothing to
worry about. | won't say anything. Marcus thinks you're his savior, so just continue being his savior," Natalie said
calmly.
Sophia responded, "Ms. Walker, you being like this makesfeel even more ashamed. | feel like I've wronged
you, but | don't have the courage to correct this mistake. One wrong step led to another, and ever since the first
day | told this lie, | haven't had a single peaceful day."
She covered her face with her hands. Sophia had expected Natalie to scold her, to call her shameless, or even to
hit her, but she didn't.
Natalie neither scolded nor hit her. Instead, she expressed her concern for Sophia.
At this, Sophia felt increasingly ashamed and guilty. Compared to Natalie's honesty and kindness, she felt like a
despicable rat hiding in the shadows.
Even if she had unavoidable circumstances, a mistake was still a mistake.
"Ms. Walker, I'm sorry. | was wrong," Sophia choked out. She cried for a while before making a big decision in her
heart. "I will tell Marcus that | am not his lifesaver-you are. As for whether he still chooses to protectafter
that, | don't
know.
"I was initially thinking that if you were harsh toor spoke towith anger and resentment when meeting
today, | wouldn't feel so guilty anymore. But you're too kind. You didn't blme, and you're even willing to
keep this secret for me."
Sophia looked at Natalie with bloodshot eyes and said, "I'm sorry. At first, | thought that since you were so
ruthless to Emma, you wouldn't letoff either.
"But | was wrong. Ms. Walker, | apologize for doubting you. | feel ashamed, and I'm truly sorry."
As Sophia spoke, she was about to get out of bed and apologize more sincerely to Natalie, but Natalie quickly
reached out and held her back.
Natalie said, "Ms. Sinclair, you don't have to apologize. It's been so many years since those things happened, yet
you still recognized me. It shows how good your memory is.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"You had an accident at the Walker residence, so regardless of our past or what happened between us, | will take
responsibility for you. Whatever happened betweenand Emma is between us-1 won't take it out on others.
"Although you took credit for saving Marcus back then, you never actually harmed me. Besides, you called me
here today and cclean about everything."
Natalie smiled before continuing, "I'm someone who responds better to kindness than hostility. You haven't done
anything against me, so of course, | have no reason to go against you either."
"Really?" Sophia was in disbelief and cried out again, "I'm Sky's fiancée, but the child in my belly isn't his. I've
been unfaithful to him. Don't you hate or blme?"
"That is between you and him. I'm just an observer, so | won't comment on it," Natalie replied.
She handed Sophia another piece of tissue to wipe her tears. "Ms. Sinclair, since you're Sky's fiancée, why didn't
you turn to him for protection, and instead sought Marcus?"
"Sky doesn't like me. He only likes Emma. When | was a child, | went to him for help. At the time, Emma tricked
there for a whole day and night.
"Later, when | couldn't take it anymore, | called Marcus."
"Why wait until you couldn't take it anymore before calling Marcus?" Natalie asked. She couldn't understand, and
she felt more disdain toward Sky for this.
"Because Emma said Marcus was her fiancée and forbadefrom getting involved with him. She even said that
If | continued, she would have Sky beat me
up.”
Sophia hugged her arms. "Sky spoils Emma. If she tells him to beat me, he would actually do it.
"I'm sorry, | shouldn't be telling you all this. | shouldn't be speaking badly of your brother, but | can't help it."
Sophia allowed Natalie to wipe her tears away. Her vision was blurry, and she was unable to see the person
before her clearly. However, she continued, "Ms. Walker, you're not like Emma. | don't have many friends, so |
may have said too much, but please don't blme.
"I know | deserve this. After telling one lie, | needed 99 others to cover it up. Today, when | told Marcus that |
wanted to meet you, | was already thinking about how to lie to you.
"But after you came, | realized | couldn't lie to you anymore. It was best to just tell you everything honestly."
After she finished speaking, Sophia exhaled deeply and said, "It turns out that speaking up madefeel much
more at ease. The constant feeling of anxiety isn't as strong as before.
"Ms. Walker, | don't know if you believe in fate, but | do. The moment | saw you, | knew you were different from
Emma."
Natalie helped Sophia lie back down, saying, "Thank you for the compliment. Now, stop crying. This really isn't a
big deal for me. Moreover, you've been feeling uneasy and were tormented by your conscience for so many
years. You don't oweanything.
"Marcus may have been protecting you out of gratitude for saving his life, but you weren't lying. After all, when |
ran to get help, you stayed with him.

Natalie spoke with calm indifference, her speech unhurried. There was no hint of bltoward Sophia in her
tone.
When Sophia heard this, she was stunned. Could such a far-fetched thing actually happen?
But soon, she realized Natalie was just comforting her and telling her not to feel guilty anymore.
In comparison, Sophia felt more and more despicable. She stared blankly at Natalie.
Natalie had fair skin, delicate and beautiful features, and a pair of eyes that looked calm and serene as if nothing
mattered to her.

"But this isn't fair to you." Sophia started crying again. "Ms. Walker, I'm being sincere."
"I'm being sincere too." Natalie took a tissue and continued wiping Sophia's tears away. "My childhood wasn't
easy either.
"When | was with the Langleys, Mrs. Langley Senior arranged a fiancé for me.
And because my adoptive parents treatedbadly, | had once placed my hopes
on him. However, men are not our salvation. We are our own salvation.
"Do you understand what | mean, Ms. Sinclair?"
