Dumping Him for His Uncle (Natasha and Zachary) novel Chapter 58

Luckily, Natasha reacted quickly and yanked Xavier back. The one who had gotten a little handsy earlier wasn't Zachary.

"I've told you before that Zachary isn't a good person. Sure, he's helped you a lot, but once he gets what he wants, he'll toss you aside without a second thought!"

All his worrying wasn't going to change anything now. The best he could do was warn her.

"Lower your voice. I'm the one who made the move," Natasha said softly.

Xavier's mouth fell open in shock, totally speechless.

"What's wrong?" Natasha teased. "Is it that unbelievable?" She smiled, clearly in a good mood.

"Sure, I wasted seven years of my life on Matthew. But that doesn't mean I'm destined to be alone forever," she added.

Natasha had already thought it through. Zachary had helped her, yes, but he had never clearly stated his intentions. She knew how to draw the line if he was acting purely out of kindness.

Even though Xavier had mentioned that Zachary switched girlfriends at the drop of a hat, she didn't think much of it. As she always said, they were both adults.

"I'm telling you—you're going to regret ignoring advice from those with experience," Xavier said.

Seeing there was no getting through to her, he gave up and refocused on the experiment.

…

Later that evening, after wrapping up her recording work, Natasha finally checked her phone.

There was a message from an unknown number.

"Natasha, let's meet."

The signature at the bottom made it clear that it was from Faye.

Given the scene Nicole had caused in the lab earlier that morning, Faye had probably heard about it too.

But why would she reach out now?

Curious, Natasha grabbed her backpack and headed to the location Faye had sent her.
