A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 298

Chapter 298 Intentionally Wearing Maternity Clothes 

As the man finished speaking, Isabella could distinctly feel the weight of his breath from the other end of the phone. 

Her own breath tightened in response. 

Yes, it wasn’t just Cedric, but also… Natalie! 

Otherwise… 

She couldn’t understand why this person always got involved with Cedric and Natalie and took action against Cedric whenever they were together. 

If it was only hatred for Cedric, then couldn’t this person have ended everything during Cedric’s two years in prison? 

‘Bella, you’re really such a naughty girl, hmm?” the man on the other end of the phone said, his tone both tempting and filled with a sense of danger. 

But it also carried a warning, tinged with a threat. 

Isabella remained silent. 

Before she could speak, the man continued in a coaxing tone, “Go. Don’t disappoint me. 

It was more of a threat than coaxing. Without waiting for Isabella to say anything more, he hung up. 

He didn’t directly answer Isabella’s question, but it definitely strengthed her guess. 

There was definitely a deep enmity between him, Cedric, and Natalie! 

Hillside Villa was dimly lit. 

At the dinner table, the butler announced that Isabella had arrived. 

Natalie paused in her actions when she heard that. Upon hearing Isabella’s name, Lydia and Kyla couldn’t help their expressions from darkening. 

Evidently, the people caring for Natalie already knew what kind of existence Isabella was in Natalie’s world. 

“Miss, I’ll get her to leave,” Lydia said respectfully as she approached Natalie. 

Natalie frowned, glancing at Lydia. Especially seeing Lydia’s vigilant expression, she knew that Heather must have briefed her extensively. 

Thinking of her uncle’s words earlier, Natalie put down the spoon. She wiped away the stains. from her mouth with a napkin and said to the butler, “Let her in.” 

“Miss.” Lydia’s tone tightened. 

After all, Heather had given them strict instructions about Isabella. Lydia and Xyla were reluctant to Isabella in, as it might affect Natale’s emotions. 

However, Natalie said, “Lydia, I understand my int’s concerns, but now I am not just the Jarvis family’s young lady.” 

Natalie emphasized the latter part of her sentence 

It had been two years. 

In these two years, she had been treated as a young lady of the Jarvis family. 

Natalie still didn’t know what had happened between Stephen, Heather, and Winona two years 

ago. 

It had been significant enough that Winona hadn’t returned home until now. 

Before, their relationship was relatively good. But in these two years, their contact had Increasingly less. Even when they did communicate, Winona avoided many questions. 

It was as if they were guarding a secret from her. 

But… not just towards her. It was as if they were keeping it a secret from everyone. 

Soon, Isabella was led in. Lily, who was usually by her side, was absent. Isabella wore loose- fitting clothes that hung on her as if it had been draped over her body. 

However, it also made it easy for people to see that it was… maternity wear. 

There was a glint of darkness in Natalie’s eyes at the sight. 

“I didn’t expect you would be willing to see me,” Isabella said. 

The servant who supported Isabella stood a short distance away. 

Natalie picked up the glass in front of her and took a sip. She didn’t respond to Isabella’s words but instead asked, “Have you eaten?” 

“Not yet.” 

Natalie was silent. Clearly, she didn’t expect Isabella to answer this way. The darkness in her eyes deepened. 

“If you haven’t eaten, have something. The dishes here aren’t specifically filled with nutrients required for pregnancy, so I don’t know If you’ll be able to stomach it,” Natalie said flatly. 

It was at this moment that Natalie completely understood that she.. truly had no feelings for 

Cedric. 

If there was even a hint of emotion, she would definitely have someone throw Isabella out. 

But there was none! 

She only felt a little uncomfortable seeing Isabella in maternity wear. After all… their past interactions were so intense. 

But it seemed that all they had left was the past. 

Isabella didn’t hold back after that. After the servant helped her sit, she was served some 

dishes. 

After taking a few bites, Isabella smiled bitterly. “You’re really doing well now, huh?” 

Natalie was silent and didn’t respond to Isabella’s words. 

After putting down the cup in her hand, Isabella’s chest felt a bit painful. 

Even with her eyes covered, Natalie sensed something different from her. She was giving off a sense of resignation, fear, and… loneliness. 

In the past, Isabella’s hatred towards her was hysterical. It was hard to believe that now she couldn’t sense any resentment from Isabella. 

“Go on, then. Why are you here?” Natalie got straight to the point. 

They didn’t have much of a friendly relationship, especially after the unpleasant incident in the office where they clashed. 

However…! 

Whenever they met in the past, Isabella would always demand Natalie leave Cedric or insult 

her. 

But Isabella didn’t do any of those things today! 

Isabella just stared silently in Natalie’s direction. The air around her was heavy. 

Natalie raised an eyebrow, “Did you intentionally wear maternity clothes to show me?” 

Isabella had just announced her pregnancy in Natalie’s office. Now, with barely a visible bump, she was wearing maternity clothes. 

Also, the air Isabella gave off now was completely different from when she had been at Natalie’s office! 

Lily had been there, and Isabella had been so intense. Now… it seemed like she was holding 

something back 

“You figured it out!” Isabella spoke, her tone even more incomprehensiblely bitter. 

“Isabella.” 

“Who’s behind you?” Natalie asked bluntly.
