A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 5

The already tense atmosphere became even more stifling.

Cedric’s hand shifted from her jaw to her delicate neck, and his breathing was harsh.

“You’ve been acting strange all day. Explain yourself.”

At this moment, Cedric finally realized that Natalie wasn’t just playing around.

She had always been composed and knew her boundaries. If it were just a tantrum, she wouldn’t have pestered him like this, especially after he had ignored her in the morning.

Natalie glared at him. She held his wrist and said, “The clerk’s office closes in twenty minutes. We should handle the paperwork before it does.”

“Natalie Walker!” The man’s breath was unsteady with frustration.

Natalie forcefully pulled his hand down, pushing him away. However, he remained steady as a rock and unmovable. Natalie could do nothing else but glare angrily at him.

Cedric eventually lost his patience and decided to take her home. There was no way he could go to work after today’s commotion.

On the way back, the driver struggled to maintain control of the car, a testament to the intensity of Cedric’s anger.

Upon reaching home, Natalie sat on the couch, and Cedric sat opposite her.

“Can we talk now?”

“We have nothing to talk about,” she replied.

Talk? What was there to talk about? He had been involved with his personal assistant for the past six months, and the whole world knew about it.

Had he given her any explanation?

The man’s sharp gaze bore into her. Natalie turned her head away, refusing to look at the man whose temples pulsated angrily. Her indifferent attitude only seemed to make his gaze sharper.

“Natalie, no man from the Johnson family has ever divorced; there have only been widowers.”

Natalie trembled slightly. She looked into the man’s eyes, which were filled with complex emotions and anger.

So, was this the reason he had burned her to death in her past life?

With a trace of coldness in her eyes, she said, “Fine. Either you can be the first divorcee in your family, or you can go to hell!”

Cedric was speechless.
