Chapter 69 Your Wife Is on a Date
“I’d rather earn my own money than endure more of your family’s nonsense! It’s not like I can’t make a
living on my own!”
After saying this, she walked past the man, leaving Cedric alone.
She indeed had the skills!
After all, she had managed to secure a deal with Irwin!
What methods had she used?
Natalie and Irwin were sitting not far from Cedric. Natalie had her back to him, and Cedric’s gaze at that
moment could only be described as murderous.
Irwin, on the other hand, seemed unaffected and behaved like nothing was wrong. When the steaks
arrived, he acted like a true gentleman, cutting Natalie’s steak into small pieces. Natalie smiled gently
and thanked him.
“Have you been to this restaurant before?” Irwin asked.
Natalie replied, “I rarely dine out.”
She knew about the good places in Verde City, but she seldom went out to eat. After all, Rebecca used to
give her a hard time whenever she left the house.
In her free time, she preferred to stay at Scarlet Villa reading books. Looking back now, she had truly lived in isolation from the world, yet hadn’t found the peace she sought.
Natalie ate her food delicately. Although her cheeks puffed up while she ate, she remained absolutely charming
“What are you looking at?” Natalie asked, feeling a bit embarrassed under Irwin’s gaze.
Irwin replied, “Your eating habits are quite unique.”
Natalie was speechless.
Unique?
It wasn’t so much unique as it was simply a lack of attention to appearance. Compared to those
socialites and heiresses, she didn’t put much effort into eating
So, while she took small bites, she tended to fill her mouth almost to the brim before swallowing. That was why her cheeks would puff up.
“Sorry, it’s a habit of mine.”
Rebecca used to reprimand her for her eating habits, saying that Natalie had no manners. Hence, Natalie made sure to eat slowly whenever she dined at the Johnson Manor.
The man across from her elegantly raised his red wine glass and took a sip. His tone was slightly teasing
as he said, “Don’t you think it’s fine?”
“I personally think it doesn’t matter, but some people can’t stand it,” Natalie replied.
Irwin said, “Do your own thing, the opinions of others don’t matter that much.”
Natalie was speechless.
Don’t matter?
He was right, they really don’t matter!
Thinking about why she used to restrain herself, she realized she was always thinking of Cedric during those times. She had been willing to endure anything related to him. Now, looking back, she found her previous self–restraint laughable.
Natalie and Irwin enjoyed their meal with delight. After all these years, she had never eaten so happily, completely ignoring the hostile glares directed at her from behind.
Cedric hadn’t seen Natalie so happy in a long time. During the years they had been together, she always ate her meals in a proper and perfect manner. It was like she was a robot who had been programmed to
do so.
He had thought that was the most perfect version of Natalie. But now, seeing her in front of Irwin, Cedric realized what she was truly like.
She was laughing in front of Irwin and enjoying her meal as if it were a source of pleasure. It was completely unlike before, when she ate like it was a chore. Back then, she would only take a few bites before stating she was full.
His unpredictability was getting to Isaac, who was sitting across from him. Isaac finally turned his head to look and noticed Natalie raising her glass to toast with Irwin.
That’s your wife!!!
It was only then that Isaac saw Natalie sitting not far behind him. But when he saw the man across from Natalie, his expression changed!
“Isn’t that Irwin? Why is he having dinner with your wife?”
Isaac only knew that Natalie was Cedric’s wife but had no idea about the recent events in Verde City.
He was too busy.
“But I thought your wife didn’t work! Are you that stingy with the allowance you give her that she was forced to come out and work?”
