Knowing My Ex-Wife After The Divorce Novel by Yetta Horace

Natalie kicked her legs, trying to break free. “What are you doing? Let me down! We’re in public!”

Tobias looked at her with a cold stare. “Do you hate me that much?”

Natalie couldn’t help but laugh in frustration. “If someone suddenly picked you up, wouldn’t you fight back?”

That was a bit off; Tobias probably had never been in a situation where someone just scooped him up-no one would dare. Hearing her, his expression changed. “Natalie, who gave you the right to talk to me like that?”

“What do you think you are? I can say whatever I want!” Normally, Natalie would never have talked to Tobias this way; it was so unlike her usual polite self. But right now, she wasn’t scared of him at all.

Nearby, Jack was watching nervously, thinking, “This is getting out of control; Mr. Reese looks ready to explode. And the lady? Why is she being so aggressive? Does she really want to provoke him?”

Suddenly, Tobias calmed down and said, “I need to talk to you.” His tone was normal, like the angry man from a moment ago was gone.

Natalie was speechless.

Jack was caught off guard; he didn’t know Tobias’s true intention!

Natalie braced herself for anything, but when Tobias’s tone softened, she didn’t know how to respond.

Before she could react, he casually picked her up and carried her away.

A few waiters saw Natalie being taken away and rushed to help, but Tobias’s bodyguard stopped them.

Once Natalie regained her senses, she quickly signaled the staff to back off. This was getting out of hand; with someone like Tobias, their help might expose her identity. Plus, she was curious about what he really wanted.

Without putting up a fight, Natalie was set in the car, sitting in the passenger seat. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, he covered it with his mouth. “Mmm…”

Tobias meant to scold her, but he softened when their lips almost parted. Just as he was about to be harsh again, Natalie steadied her breath and held his hand tightly. “That’s enough! You can stop now!” She didn’t want to bring up his feelings for someone else. She figured that Elle, could this guy still want to play games with me? What’s going on with him?”

me that much?” His icy gaze felt like a single nod from her could set him off.

“I don’t hate you,” Natalie replied honestly. She didn’t find Tobias annoying; she was just confused by his actions. After all, they’d been together for ten years. He was fit, and a kiss here and there wasn’t a big deal.

His expression softened a bit, but he stayed sex ere

and there wasn’t a big deal.

“What’s wrong?” Natalie asked, her confusion clear.

“Then….” Tobias trailed off.

Nothing. Just go, Tobias said flatly, suddenly pushing her away

Natalie was left in shock. He was really going to bring her up here for a kiss and then just shove her out. Bewildered, she opened the car door and stepped out.

Tobias fought hard to suppress the anger inside him, not even sure why he felt that way. If he voiced his confusion, the answer might not be what he wanted to hear. After all these years, he knew he had been in the wrong. It made sense that she left so determinedly. She didn’t even bother to keep up with his life and chose to meet another man instead.

He let out a heavy sigh, puzzled by his own uncertainty. Just as he was about to leave, the car door next to him swung open.

Natalie stood there, her expression calm but determined. “Let’s clear things up.”

Tobias’s gaze deepened as he looked at her.

After stepping out of the car, Natalie thought about just walking away. But after a few steps, something felt off. She could ignore Tobias all day if she wanted, but him leaving the conversation hanging was just too annoying. Honestly, she had never seen him so unsure before, and that made her turn back.

Tobias spoke coldly, “Do you really want to know?”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

She frowned, “Come on, just say it. When did you turn into this?”

“I can tell you, but you have to promise me something first.”

Natalie raised an eyebrow. “Is this one of those tricks young people use? Tobias, what are you up to now?” He was acting all mysterious wanting her to agree to something. It felt like she was getting played.

Tobias replied in a cool tone, “You can leave.”

Natalie’s lips twitched. It was just one thing he wanted; why should she be afraid? “Let me make this clear: if it goes against my principles or is illegal or unethical, I absolutely won’t agree to it.” She had no plans for him to touch her, and that was non-negotiable.

This time, Tobias was direct. “Fine.”

Natalie felt an unexpected sense of relief, waiting to hear what important thing Tobias was about to say.

He started slowly, “You haven’t followed my news?”

“Your news?” Natalie was surprised at first, then quickly realized. “Oh, did you text my old number? I switched my phone card, so I didn’t see anything you sent.”

Tobias fell silent.

Natalie pressed, “What is it? Just tell me. It can’t just be about this, right? Did I miss something important?” She was puzzled. Could it be that Tobias sent something really crucial to her old number? Should she dig that card out when she got home?

Seeing through her thoughts, Tobias quickly clarified, “It’s not that important. You don’t need to check. All I wanted was for you to come to this restaurant. I didn’t think you actually would. But of course, she brought someone else with her, and he found that particularly annoying.

Natalie paused, suddenly getting it. “So, you thought I stood you up?” she said. “I didn’t do that.” If she had seen any messages, she would’ve just said no-there’s no way she would cause such a mix-up.

But it seemed Tobias brightened up instantly, and his tone softened. “I figured you wouldn’t dare.”

Seeing him like this, she quickly asked, “So, you got mad earlier just because of this? You thought I stood you up brought others along?” If it was Tobias, it made sense he’d be upset-he was a guy who had never been stood up before. Natalie honestly hadn’t thought about jealousy; she wasn’t that self-centered.

and even

Tobias didn’t think of jealousy either; he just replied coldly, “Next time you change your phone card, let me know ahead of time.
