Chapter 1403 Thank You for Your Support
As soon as the call connected, Natalie blurted out, "I won the award!"
"I saw that," Adrian replied calmly.
Natalie's voice wavered, and she was on the verge of tears. "Adrian, thank you."
"You already said that."
"I need to say it again." Natalie clutched her phone tightly. "Adrian, thank you for your support."
"We'll celebrate when you get back."
After the film festival, Natalie took pictures with Oscar, Samuel, and Matthew.
Oscar suggested they grab dinner together, but Samuel had to head to another city for filming, and the crew hadn't given him any time off. Matthew also had to fly back to Emberlyn immediately for a project meeting in the morning. Oscar nodded and said they'd get together another time.
Natalie returned home.
As she opened the door, Violette greeted her. "Mrs. Howard, congratulations!"
Natalie hugged Violette, who said, "Mr. Adrian Howard is in the kitchen. He said he wanted to cook you a bowl of noodles himself."
Natalie took off her coat and handed it to Violette. She walked into the kitchen and saw Adrian's broad shoulders and his back turned to her. She approached him and hugged him from behind, resting her face against his back. In that moment, Natalie felt an immense sense of peace.
Adrian put the lid on the pot and turned down the heat.
He turned around and hugged her, noticing the tears on her face. "Why are you crying?"
"I'm happy. These are tears of joy," Natalie said with a smile.
Adrian playfully pinched her nose.
Natalie's makeup was still on, and it was a bit smudged from her tears.
She knew she looked a bit of a mess and wiped her cheek with her hand. "It smells so good."
Adrian held her fingers, noticing they were a bit cold. "Go wash your face. We'll eat in a bit. This film festival started early; you probably haven't eaten much, right?"
Natalie washed her face and changed into more comfortable clothes.
Adrian handed her a plate. Natalie looked at the spaghetti in the bowl. "You only made one serving?"
"Yeah."
"Aren't you eating?"
"I already did."
Natalie inhaled the aroma of the spaghetti. Even though it was just a simple meat sauce pasta, it tasted amazing to her, warming her with every bite.
She looked up at Adrian. "Adrian, thank you."
Adrian tapped the table with his fingers. "How many times have you said thank you today?"
"If you really want to thank me, take the initiative tonight."
Natalie's face turned a bit red. "What are you talking about? I have to fly back for filming tomorrow."
Adrian, with a serious look, said, "I meant, take the initiative to do the dishes."
Natalie paused, biting her noodles as she looked at Adrian.
"What did you think I meant?" Adrian asked.
"You!" Natalie laughed. "Alright, I'll do the dishes."
She finished her pasta and stood up, ready to wash the dishes. Adrian stopped her. "I'll wash the dishes; you can keep me company afterward."
At that moment, Violette walked over and took the dishes from Natalie's hands. "I'll handle it, Mrs. Howard. You and Mr. Adrian Howard go ahead and take care of whatever you need to." She winked at Natalie, clearly understanding the situation.
Adrian scooped Natalie up and carried her upstairs.
Her long blonde hair spread out on the light blue sheets. Natalie's skin was as fair as fine porcelain. She looked at him. "I haven't showered yet. Let me take a quick shower first."
