A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291 Is It to See the Child? 

When Lydia and Xyla saw Natalie return, they quickly took the suitcase from her hands. 

Then, Lydia said, “In the half month you were away, the entire Hillside Villa, including the streetlights, has been changed to lighting that suits you.” 

“Alright. Thank you.” 

“We’ve prepared soup for you according to Madam Heather’s instructions. Would you like to have it now, or would you prefer to take a bath first?” 

“I’ll take a bath first.” 

Natalie was truly exhausted. 

She hadn’t expected her aunt to be worrying about her even from such a distance. In the past half month, she had not lived an easy life. 

Fortunately, Heather was by her side. If she weren’t there, Natalie really didn’t know what she 

would do. 

But now that Heather was staying there, she felt a bit more at ease. 

After her bath, she donned a silk robe and descended the stairs. Her slender legs were exposed,/ leaving Lydia and Xyla staring in astonishment. 

Though Natalie wasn’t tall, her legs were truly eye–catching. They were slender and straight, visually enhancing her figure. 

“What are you looking at? 

Seeing the strange expressions of the two, Natalie cast a reproachful glance at them. 

“We’re not looking at anything,” Lydia said. “We just think you’re becoming more and more beautiful, Miss.” 

“It seems Madam Heather’s efforts over the past two years haven’t been in vain!” 

At Lydia’s words, Natalie smiled. 

Lydia was telling the truth. Heather was quite knowledgeable when it came to nursing one’s health. She always made various soups for Natali 

They were nutritious and were also good for the skin and the overall health of a woman. 

Lydia knew that Natalie hadn’t eaten well in the past half month, so she prepared some dishes Natalie liked.

“You didn’t need to make so much, I can’t eat that much.” Natalie looked at the table full of food and felt a bit distressed. It was in her nature not to be wasteful. 

“Madam Heather said you haven’t eaten well in the past half month, so she asked us to take care of you,” Lydia responded. 

Moreover, Matalie’s body was naturally not prone to gaining weight, so eating a bit more was 

okay. 

Natalie sighed helplessly. 

Although she didn’t gain weight even if she ate at night, her stomach was only that big. There 

was a limit to how much she could eat. 

Seeing how at ease Natalie was as she ate, Lydia and Xyla knew that Natalie had handled things well overt here. 

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so relaxed now. 

“Mr. Johnson, this is not appropriate…!” 

Suddenly, a commotion came from outside. 

Lydia and Xyla exchanged glances. They were about to go to the door, but the butler hurriedly 

came in. 

“Miss!” 

Then Cedric followed. 

The butler looked at Natalie apologetically. “I’m sorry, Miss.” 

Everyone in the Jarvis family knew about Natalie’s strict demands on those who worked below her. She had even fired a secretary for such matters in the company before. 

It was even more unthinkable for such a situation to happen in her home. 

The air around Cedric was chilling. 

Their eyes met, and Natalie’s expression soured. 

She said to the people around her, “You’re all dismissed for now.” 

“Yes, ma’am.” 

Everyone turned and left the dining room. 

Now, only Natalle and Cedric reipained in the dining room. Natalie was in her dark silk robe and her fair skin created a vivid contrast with the color of the robe. 

The robe’s collar was slightly open, revealing the faint scars on her neck from the fire two 

Cedric’s eyes tightened with a hint of coldness at the sight.

Initially, his eyes were filled with anger. After seeing the scars, Cedric’s demeanor softened. 

The anger was gone from his tone when he next spoke 

“Where have you been for the past half month? 

Half a month! 

After realizing she might have left Simeria for the child, he had been instructing Lucas to find Natalie by any means necessary. 

However, it was unexpected that she disappeared for a half month after leaving. 

Cedric had to admit that Natalie was quite capable right now. He completely understood what 

it meant to lose control when it came to her. 

Natálie smiled mockingly and said, “You seem to be watching me closely! 

“Just answer me!” Cedric said in a deep voice. 

“Do I need to explain myself to you?” Natalie shot back 

“Did you go to see the child?” 

The glint in Cedric’s eyes intensified as Natalie continued to avoid the question. 

Natalie’s expression stiffened at his words! 

But then it quickly returned to normal. 

However, Cedric didn’t miss this subtle change in her demeanor. 

Advancing swiftly, he pulled her up from the dining chair. His action knocked the bowl of soup 

that Natalie was drinking off the table, and the broth spilled all over the floor. 

Seeing the soup Heather had instructed the kitchen to make for her being wasted like this, Natalie instantly flared up. 

Slap! 

A harsh slap landed on the man’s face. 

Cedric hadn’t expected that just a bowl of soup would lead her to resort to physical violence, 

but he didn’t mind. 

His hand clasped around her slender waist. 

In close proximity, those burn scars on her neck and beyond caught Cedric’s attention. He had already seen the extensive injuries during their last encounter in the car, but seeing them again under such bright lights still had a profound impact on him. 

Taking a deep breath, he asked, “Is the child still alive?” 

“The child Is been gone for a long time!” 

“Natalie!” 

“What right do you have to ask about the child?! 

He had no right!
