Chapter 36 - Reborn 35: Nathalias Parents (1/2)

It's been two weeks since that kidnapping event and today's a weekend, Nathalia, Josh, and Zen came over to Anna's place to hang out. The three of them met Anna's grandfather for the first time, at first they thought that they would feel pressure because of him but they were wrong, Anna's grandfather is not all that bad in what the public said, in fact, he's mild as long as you won't make anything that would turn him into what the public said.

As they were enjoying their time together, Nathalia notices someone who seems to be so familiar to her. That someone is talking with Anna's mother in the garden having tea. She slowly approached the near the garden and trying to eavesdrop their conversation.

”Any news?” Anna's mom asked.

”No, I'm still trying.” Nathalia's eyes widened when she heard that voice, that voice was something she clearly familiar with, her father's voice. To make sure that it is his father who's talking with Anna's mother she stretched her head trying to peek. As she did that she lost her balance and fall to the ground, the impact was loud enough to startle them. ”Who's there?” The voice was so cold and Nathalia felt a shiver in her spine.

When Nathalia saw that man's face she was so sure that is her father. She never knows that her father can be so cold when speaking, her father's tone of voice every time he speaks to her was gentle and very loving.

”Hi, daddy,” Nathalia said in an awkward tone. Leonardo's expression tells that he's shocked to see his only daughter on the ground. Without any distraction, he quickly helps Nathalia get up.

Seeing how worried and caring Leonardo was Mary might now shot it but she's deep in shocked by him. She knows that Leonardo loves his only child deeply but she never would have expected that he would show this side of him to other people even to her. His soft side is all new to her, she silently took a picture of these and send it to Leonardo's wife.

Leonardo heard a giggle behind him he immediately turns around he saw that Mary is holding her phone and could already guess what she's doing. After all the years he has known Mary he knows what kind of tactics she has on her mind. Seeing her holding her phone he knew that Mary took a picture of a side that he rarely let others see it and sent it to someone that he doesn't have a clue on.

”Delete it,” Leonardo said in a commanding voice.

Mary looked at him and arched her left eyebrow, ”Why would I? You're not the boss of me.” Mary rebuke in a provocative tone.

Nathalia is bewildered as she saw her father and Anna's mother coldly talk to each other arguing about the photo that Anna's mother took. Even though they talk in that kind of tone she could feel that they are pretty close to each other and they are used to it. Nathalia then remembered back in the hospital what Anna's mother just said to her, she said that she knows her parents so it's only natural for her to understand that both her father and Anna's mother are pretty close to each other, there is no misunderstanding to it.
