A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264 In the Shadows 

Two years was a long time

What exactly happened to Bianca? Why did she disappear from Simeria, and why hadn’t she contacted Natalie in two whole years

Every time Natalie thought about Bianca, her heart couldn’t help but tighten

She was genuinely afraid

Countless times, she prayed that Bianca would be okay

Leon left, leaving Natalie alone in the office

She extended her wrist, pulling up her sleeve to reveal the scars on her arm. Her cold fingertips gently touched the uneven skin

She vividly remembered the moment the redhot iron rod struck her arm. She could almost hear the sizzling sound of her flesh burning

Even now, she remembered the tearing pain in her heart at that moment

Bang

Someone suddenly pushed open her office door with force, and the door slammed against the wall with a deafening noise

Natalie, who was lost in her thoughts, snapped back to reality

She looked towards the door and saw Irwin standing there, exuding an air of sophistication that couldn’t hide the chill in his body

Seeing Irwin like this, Natalie’s heart skipped a beat. Natalie’s assistant peeked out from 

behind him

Ms. Walker, Mr. Frazier” 

You’re dismissed for now!” 

Without waiting for the assistant to finish, Natalie interrupted her. Then, she stood up and walked towards Irwin, feeling a bit uneasy

During this process, Irwin’s initial coldness gradually softened. He looked Natalie up and down, relieved to see her unharmed

Why are you here?Natalie checked the time and noted that Irwin should be quite busy right 

now

Irwin took her hand, leading her to a side to sit down. Instead of directly answering Natalie’s 

128 

Natalie remained silent. Was he asking about Cedric

Yes, he must be asking about Cedric

However, what surprised Natalie was that Irwin got the news so quickly

It seems that you have people around me.she said with a strange tone

It was true that people generally feared being watched

Even though Natalie knew Irwin wouldn’t harm her, she still didn’t like having his people placed around her

Irwin flicked her forehead with one finger, causing Natalie to grimace in pain. She covered her forehead immediately

The earlier strangeness turned into resentment as Natalie looked at Irwin

What are you doing? It hurts!she complained

So, you do know how to feel pain,Irwin said, looking at her in exasperation

Natalie grumbled under her breath. Seeing her in this state, Irwin sighed

Let Yves stay by your side,he suggested after some thought

Upon hearing Irwin’s suggestion about having Yves by her side, Natalie’s heart skipped a beat

However, her expression quickly returned to normal at that moment. Over the past two years, she believed she had a good understanding of Irwin and knew the kind of person Yves was to 

him

There’s no need for that, right?Natalie replied

Nat” 

I hope you won’t get involved in this matter.Natalie completely cut off the man’s words

In Natalie and Irwin’s perception, Cedric was still a lunatic

Therefore, Natalie didn’t want Irwin to interfere. Everything that happened two years ago was still vivid in her memory

She didn’t know why Cedric could easily come out of the prison, but she was investigating everything

However, she would never allow him to harm the people around her again

Aren’t you being too distant with me?Irwin rubbed her soft hair, his tone filled with endless Indulgence

Natalie looked at Irwin, almost being captivated by the gentleness in his eyes

But she still said, Some things are meant for me to face alone, okay?” 

She thought of the photo she saw in her uncle’s study. Her eyes flickered with determination

Without waiting for Irwin to speak, she asked, Did anything happen between you and him 

before?” 

Natalie was a straightforward person. Even though she knew that asking this question directly. might not get an answer from Irwin, she still wanted to ask

Her sudden question caught Irwin off guard. What do you think happened between me and him?” 

I don’t know, that’s why I’m asking you.While saying this, Natalie kept her eyes on Irwin’s 

face

She didn’t miss any subtle changes on his face

Unfortunately, she didn’t see anything

Irwin said, I’m not close to him.” 

Under Natalie’s gaze, Irwin finally gave her a straightforward answer

Not close

Natalie raised her eyebrows. Looking at the photo, especially the one with just the two of them, it was hard to believe that they weren’t familiar with each other. 

Alright. Since you’re fine, I’ll leave now.Just as Natalie was about to ask more questions, Irwin stood up

Her words that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back

Watching Irwin leave, Natalie walked over to see him off in the elevator 

As the elevator doors opened, Irwin stepped in

Natalie said, Drive safe.” 

Sure. I’ll pick you up for dinner tonight?Irwin suggested

Okay. Natalie nodded in agreement

A satisfied smile curled up on Irwin’s lips. It wasn’t until the elevator doors closed that Natalie turned back to her office. She picked up the necessary documents and headed to the meeting
