A Divorce After My Rebirth

Chapter 116 The Relationship Between Isabella and Natalie

Irwin glanced in Cedric’s direction and left.

Cedric hadn’t managed to suppress his temper, so he didn’t move to stop Irwin..

Natalie was no longer someone he could control as he pleased.

Who knew what trouble that sly vixen might cause if he had stopped Irwin?

Cedric vividly recalled the scene from earlier when she had created a ruckus at the hospital.

His emotions surged as he watched Irwin depart.

“Are you

stalking me?” Natalie looked at the silent man and asked, her tone less than friendly.

After she said that, the chill coming from Cedric seemed to intensify.

Stalking her?!

She really would say anything now, huh?

“Natalie!”

“What?”

“Mom’s in the hospital,” Cedric said as he struggled to keep calm.

Natalie paused momentarily, taking a while to realize who Cedric was referring to.

It wasn’t entirely her fault. She hadn’t called Rebecca “mom” since she woke up in her current life. Hence, when Cedric said “mom“, she took a minute to process who he meant.

Cedric’s anger nearly overflowed when he saw her confused expression.

However, instead of showing concern, Natalie calmly asked, “How is that my

my concern?”

“She’s your

“She’s your mother, not mine! Have you forgotten that we’re divorced?” Natalle interrupted Cedric before he could finish his sentence.

Cedric felt a sudden catch in his breath at this moment.

That was right

were divorced!

She was right. He… had forgotten

Upon hearing that Rebecca had been admitted to the hospital, his initial thought was that Natalie would

go there.

After all, in the past, Natalie would be the first to rush to their side whenever there were health issues with

the elders in the Johnson family.

When Elizabeth had been hospitalized in the past, Natalie hadn’t even asked for a caregiver to help out. She personally took care of the older woman daily until she was discharged.

Natalie shrugged. “Looks like you truly forgot.”

Her tone was calm and easy–going.

“But remember this from now on: The affairs of the Johnson family have nothing to do with me.” Natalie reminded him before turning around and walking towards her car.

Cedric remained rooted to the spot as he watched her get into the car and drive away. He stood in the chilling wind and was unable to snap out of his daze for a long time.

There was no connection between them anymore!

She had made it clear so decisively!

His phone vibrated, and it was a call from Christina. Cedric didn’t know how he answered, but he silently

listened to Christina crying on the other end of the line and was unable to make out a single word.

There was nothing between him and Natalie anymore. And instead of the pain he expected to see in her

eyes, there was only indifference and relief.

She actually…!

After leaving the restaurant, Natalie drove straight back to Elegance Bay.

She was genuinely exhausted these days. She had been working overtime for several days just for the collaboration with Premier Garden Corporation.

As she got out of the car, Natalie was greeted by the respectful butler.

Miss, you’ve finally returned

“Mr. Jarvis is here.”

When Natalie heard this, she was stunned!

Her uncle was here?!

“When did he arrive?” She asked as she walked in.

The butler followed closely and replied, “He arrived two hours ago. He didn’t want to inform you as he was worried it might affect your work.”

“Alright.” Natalie nodded.

One of the things Stephen appreciated about her was her work attitude. Although he was her uncle, she couldn’t help but pass a comment: He was a capitalist through and through and couldn’t stand being idle!

Upon entering the room, she noticed the servants bustling around. All of them had a careful and nervous

expression on their faces.

Meanwhile, Stephen sat on the sofa, sipping coffee.

“Replace all the curtains tomorrow. And the exterior walls too. Contact the muralist to come, and that

thing… What’s it called…”

“Uncle,” Natalie’s voice rang out.

When the servants noticed Natalie’s return, their faces were filled with relief and joy.

Natalie was someone who was excessively easy to serve. Since she arrived, they had never been this

nervous before.

Stephen turned around, smiling at Natalie.

Although he was almost an elderly man, his age did nothing to conceal his elegant and gentlemanly demeanor. At a glance, one could see the clear and refined features of his youth.

Natalie approached Stephen and playfully said, “What are you doing? My place is a mess now that you’re here. Why are you torturing others at this time?”

Your place is a mess now that I’m here? It’s more accurate to say that you mess things up even before 1 come herer

The color scheme isn’t right!

“Okay, that’s enough. You’re the chairman of the mighty Regal Horizons Intemational. Why do you care

about these things?”

“I’m afraid you’re not comfortable here.”

“I’m very comfortable; I’m not picky!” Natalie acknowledged that her taste, cultivated over the years with

Cedric, had always been good.

However, in front of Stephen, she could only admit that she was not picky, as Stephen scrutinized every

detail.

Stephen was an extremely picky person in life, and his skills in business were even more clear–cut. It was

impossible to discern his approach when handling his employees.

Avoiding the issue of house layout, Natalie asked. “Why did you come over?”

“Regal Horizons has a branch here. There have been some issues lately, so I came to take a look.”

“A branch?”

“Yes.”

Natalie didn’t know that Regal Horizons had a branch in Verde City!

In the next moment, Stephen explained. “Because I didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble, I didn’t use

Regal Horizons‘ name. Verde City probably doesn’t know that it’s our branch.”

“I see.” Natalie nodded.

Even if Regal Horizons International had a branch elsewhere, it usually used the same name. It wasn’t

surprising that she didn’t know about it since Verde City might not have allowed it.

Natalie didn’t inquire about the specific company. Instead, she said, “So, you’ll leave in a few days?”

“The day after tomorrow.”

“So soon?”

Your aunt is not used to being alone,” Stephen explained.

Despite everything, it boiled down to not feeling at ease with his wife alone at home.

Given their advanced age, their relationship was genuinely good. Even when Stephen was on a business tro, he would hurry back as soon as possible. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Natalie envied the relationship between her uncle and aunt.

“What are you thinking about?” Stephen asked when he sensed her emotions.

Despite her excellent emotional control, the air around a person would change when they had something

on their mind

Natalie replied. “Your relationship with Aunt is really good. It seems to have remained unchanged for so

many years.”

“There were some things that happened back then, but…

Stephen trailed off, not finishing his sentence.

Back then, he had almost lost her.

Natalie didn’t dwell on it.

Life was inherently unbalanced, and occasional deviations were normal. However, when the deviation

became significant, things changed.

That was precisely the case for her and Cedric

When there had been no issues, everything was fine. But when issues arose, they were major and difficult
