Natalie Vaughn wore a simple white short down jacket along with jeans. Partly for convenience in movement, partly to better bridge the gap with the elderly couple.
She originally had mixed feelings about the elderly couple, but when she saw them supporting each other as they ran out, a bitterness suddenly rose in her heart.
In those aging eyes no longer clear, light gleamed, filled with anticipation.
Almost the moment Natalie met those eyes, she understood that the elderly couple heard the sound of the car and thought Gideon Sheffield had returned.
Then she witnessed with her own eyes their eyes shift from hopeful to disappointed, as if accustomed to this kind of letdown.
They probably also woke up suddenly, realizing their son lost his legs five years ago, how could he drive back? Or perhaps...
Were they hoping Zane Thorne would bring Gideon Sheffield back?
