A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283 A Sensitive Person 

In the Entes family, the fifth and sixth sons each held half of the power and control. 

Natalie had previously secured a project with the sixth son. Perhaps due to the relatively good cooperation, the fifth son took the initiative to extend an olive branch! 

Natalie glanced at Wendy. “How are the relationships between the sons in the Entes family?” 

Wendy replied, “The relationship between the fifth and sixth sons has never been good.” 

Never been good? 

In that case… 

“Decline it.” 

If the fifth and the sixth sons didn’t have a good relationship, there were only a few possibilities as to why the fifth son would approach Natalie soon after she secured a project 

with the sixth son. 

What if it was due to some internal dispute among these prominent families? 

In the past two years, Natalie had witnessed the turbulent undercurrents between large 

families. 

She had skillfully avoided getting involved on many occasions. 

Of course, when necessary, she could be quite firm! 

Just like now. 

She had already rejected an invitation from the Entes family’s fifth son once. Now that he was trying again, she would have to be even more assertive. 

Wendy nodded. “Alright.” 

There were files piled up like mountains on Natalie’s desk, and it was a sight she had grown 

accustomed to. 

At noon, she expected Lydia or Xyla to deliver her medicine. However, to Natalie’s surprise, Heather came personally. 

“Aunt, why are you here?” 

Natalie felt a headache coming on when she saw Heather. She quickly tried to recall if she had done something to worry the older woman this morning. 

But she hadn’t! 

Instead, Heather handed her a key. 

“What’s this?” Natalie asked. 

“This is the key to Hillside Villa.” 

“Huh?” 

“I neglected to consider 

“Aunt, it’s not like that!” 

t young people nowadays don’t like to live with their elders.” 

“Come back every weekend to see me, hmm? This is the most compromise I can make.” 

Heather ignored Natalie’s attempt to explain. When Stephen mentioned to her that Natalie intended to stay at the company due to work lately, she interpreted it as a generation gap. 

This assumption placed pressure on Natalie. She stiffened at Heather’s words, completely unsure how to react. 

‘Aunt… 

“Child, your uncle and I are your family. We have so many properties! Why would you want to stay at the company?” 

It wasn’t like that! Natalie didn’t want to do that either! 

But Natalie couldn’t say that right now. 

It was fortunate that Heather chose to interpret it this way, which relieved some of the pressure on Natalie. 

Well, since Heather put it that way…. 

Natalie nodded. “Thank you, Aunt!” 

There were some things that Natalie still needed to settle, so she also couldn’t explain them at this point. 

Staying apart from Stephen and Heather would allow Natalie to deal with certain matters more easily. It would also bring peace of mind when Natalie was done 

“I’ve already arranged for Lydia and Xyla to go over. Everything there is taken care of.” 

“Alright. Thank you, Aunt.” 

Apart from expressing her gratitude, Natalle didn’t know what else to say at this moment. In any case, she was deeply moved by Heather’s understanding. 

Heather took Natalie’s hand and said sincerely, as long as you’re well, I can give you anything you want 

As long as Natalie was fine, everything would be okay. 

Heather’s words were filled with emotion, and it startled Natalie. 

She knew that since Winona’s incident two years ago, Heather rarely mentioned Winona. However, she could feel that Heather had transferred much of the love she had for Winona 

onto her. 

This emotional shift made Natalie feel both helpless and somewhat bitter. 

Natalie still didn’t know what Winona had done to have caused Stephen and Heather such heartbreak. Even now, they were reluctant to mention Winona. It had become a taboo within the Jarvis family. 

No one dared to bring it up. 

“Aunt.” 

“Yes?” 

“What happened to Winnie?” Natalie asked, holding Heather’s hand. 

Natalie clearly saw this ongoing conflict as something that needed resolution, and she intended to persuade Heather. 

However, when she mentioned Winona, Heather’s expression instantly changed. 

In an unpleasant tone, Heather said, “Nat, don’t mention her again!” 

“What happened?” 

“Why do you and Uncle-” 

“Nat!” 

Natalie fell silent at Heather’s sudden solemn tone. 

Heather felt Natalie’s unease, so she patted the back of Natalie’s hand and said, “All of that is in the past. We don’t want to bring it up again, understand?” 

In the past? 

But that was their daughter! 

Could they really move past it by just saying it was in the past? Natalie felt uncomfortable about it, but she didn’t want to press further after seeing Heather’s state. 

Enough of that, okay? Drink your medicine.” 

Okay
