A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 6

At lunchtime, Cedric answered several company calls and barely ate anything. 

Meanwhile, Natalie sat quietly. It was hard to believe that a woman who had been insisting on divorce could still eat so heartily.

Cedric was irritated as he looked at Natalie in dissatisfaction.

After hanging up the phone, Cedric said, “I need to go on a business trip to South City. I’ll be leaving this afternoon and will probably be away for about three days.”

A few days away might be for the best. He hoped that she would calm down during this time and not bring up the frustrating matter from today when he returned.

Finally, Natalie lifted her head to look at him. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she casually brushed her long hair aside.

It was a gesture that exuded elegance.

Cedric narrowed his eyes, and he felt tense all over. After being married for many years, he still couldn’t resist her.

Natalie didn’t know what was on the man’s mind. She blinked her long lashes and remembered that in her previous life, this man had also gone on a business trip in the afternoon when he received news of Isabella’s kidnapping.

Later, he had rushed back in a hurry.

She replied after some careful consideration, “Sure. Bianca has some free time this afternoon, so I think it would be a good time for me to speak to Ms. Morgan and get the legalities out of the way.”

Cedric couldn’t leave today. He had to stay with her.

Cedric was genuinely furious after he heard what she said. Natalie was causing such a ruckus until it affected his work?!

“This is completely unlike you, Natalie! You weren’t like this before!”

“Did you even remember what I was like before? Or do you remember what you used to be like?”

He mentioned the past, and it struck a chord with Natalie.

The past?! Cedric had the audacity to bring up the past!?

Cedric also realized that Natalie was making a fuss about the events of the past six months, something she had ignored until now.

He had assumed she trusted him, so he hadn’t explained. But who would have thought that she would bring up divorce directly because of this matter?

“You finally asked,” he said, realizing that the trust between them had always been his own presumption.

Natalie knew what he was thinking but chose not to say anything.

At this point, talking too much wouldn’t make a difference.

Cedric continued, “The rumors that are going around about us… That’s not what it is between me and her.”

“I don’t care about what happened between you two. Right now, you either go ahead with the divorce, or you stay at home and seriously consider it,” Natalie stated firmly.

Cedric clenched his fists at her words, and his gaze fixed on Natalie.

He had no desire to say another word.

She had always been a stubborn woman. If she didn’t throw a tantrum whenever something happened, that was the end of it. But if she did, it would take days of cajoling to calm her down.
