After Darren sent that message, he waited for Natalie’s reply. He thought, ‘My message should be clear enough, right? First, I’m not a cruel man. Second, I’m pi**ed off. Third, she needs to comfort me. Now, it all depends on whether Natalie gets the
hint
It was only ten at night, so Natalie was definitely still awake. Darren remembered when they were still married, she would stay up every night waiting for him to come home. Staying up until midnight was pretty normal for her. She got used to staying up all night just to please him, even syncing her internal clock with his
“Maybe she is reading my messages right now, thinking of something to say to make me happy. Darren thought and waited calmly, expecting her reply.
Five minutes passed… He couldn’t help but think, ‘I am not that hard to please. Natalie doesn’t need to express her feelings for me, which would be really cheesy!
Ten minutes passed… Darren couldn’t help but think, ‘She was probably feeding the baby. Even after the divorce, she is still so dedicated to our child. She loves me definitely
Half an hour passed… He wondered, ‘She should be done feeding by now, right? So why hasn’t she replied? Maybe my message was too serious and scared her?”
Darren quickly took out his phone and squinted at the message he sent, reading it over and over. He thought, It did seem a bit harsh. But the message was already sent. How can I fix this?
Darren held his phone, thinking deeply, and after a while, he sent another message. [I didn’t mean to force you to beg me Just talk to me, and I can help you solve the problem.]
Darren thought, “This time, my tone should sound much gentler, right? I have already made a concession, hoping Natalie wouldn’t be ungrateful. She should be gentle, which is adorable. We were married. I will not make things difficult for her on purpose.
Darren guessed that in less than five minutes, Natalie would text him. She might even call him. After all, she was in big trouble this time. Challenge the Smooth Skin and openly provoke it, plus the whole internet was discussing the video about her. She was in trouble. She hadn’t responded for so long, obviously because she was overwhelmed by what happened today. Darren thought, ‘She needs to know when to give in.
But another hour passed. Darren kept checking his phone, his eyes nearly going blurry from the screen, but he didn’t receive a single text. He stared at the screen, getting angry, and couldn’t control his temper any longer, sending Natalie
numerous texts-
He thought, ‘Is she really going to keep ignoring me? She dares not! He waited a few more minutes, then called up her with a sneer. But before the phone connected, an automated voice sounded, “Sorry, the number you have dialed has been turned
off
Darren was stunned. He was so angry that he threw his phone to the ground! He yelled, “Fine! Natalie, you are good! You’re brilliant!”
Darren yanked the blanket over himself and angrily closed his eyes. He thought, IfLbothered with Natalie’s issues again, I’d
be a loser!
The next morning at six. As usual, Natalie got up, washed up, and was eating breakfast at the dining table when the maid handed her the phone. As soon as her phone was turned on, the notifications kept ringing.

Chapter 55
Arthur, who was watching the financial news, glanced at Natalie and said, “This pursuer is enthusiastic! He sent so many texts in one night?”
Natalie shrugged. “Maybe he wants me. After all, I am gorgeous, beautiful, stunning, and charming..
Arthur nodded in agreement. “Too bad you can’t even sing in tune.
“Arthur! I’ll kill you!” Natalie, who was appreciating herself, immediately glared at him with hostility, looking like she wanted. to eat him alive.
Arthur quickly shut his mouth. “Alright, 111 stop.”
Natalie snorted heavily, then lowered her head to continue eating while motioning for the maid to start reading the
messages
The maid respectfully took the phone, opened the unread texts, and started reading them with a straight face, clearly indicating this wasn’t her first time. “Firstly, I didn’t mean to force you to beg me. Just talk to me, and I can help you the problem.”
Natalie, who was drinking milk, paused and confused.
solve
“Second one, I’m in a good mood right now. Say something nice, and I suggest you don’t be ungrateful. Third one, if you don’t reply. I’m going to get mad!” While reading, the maid added her own emotions. Natalie was getting goosebumps all
over.
The maid continued, “Fourth one if you don’t scize this chance, you’ll regret it later!”
Natalie had basically figured out who sent these messages. She thought, ‘Darren must be out of his mind. Why isn’t he sleeping? What’s wrong with him?”
The maid continued, “Fifth one, humph! Sixth one, humph! Seventh one, humph!”
After the maid finished reading, she looked at Natalie with confusion in her eyes. She seemed to doubt the sanity of the person who was pursuing Natalie as if he were a crazy man.
Natalie rubbed her forehead, looking helpless, while the person next to her, Arthur, was laughing so hard he could barely breathe. He couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked, “Who is this guy?”
Natalie looked helpless and was even a bit embarrassed. “My ex-husband.”
“Oh my god, he really makes me laugh,” Arthur said, trying to hold back his chuckles. That familiar narcissistic overbearing tone is interesting.”
and
“Tell me about it.” Natalie glared at Arthur and said, “Stop laughing and recommend a psychologist to me. I don’t want to suffer his torment anymore.”
Arthur asked, “What do you want?”
“Get him treated,” Natalie said irritably. “He keeps sending me these messages. I think he has narcissism,”
Arthur didn’t want Darren to bother Natalie anymore.
A few months ago, he was the one who picked her up from the hospital. She had suffered a lot.
Arthur didn’t say it, but he held a grudge in his heart.

It had taken a lot for Natalie jo move on, and now Darren was showing up every few days.
It seemed the pressure Arthur put on Darren’s company wasn’t strong enough.
Arthur agreed, within five minutes, and he had scheduled a doctor. “The doctor will be available at nine. Is Darren at the office today?
Natalie wasn’t sure, but to ensure Darren got his treatment and stopped [Will you be at the office at nine today?]
ain her weird messages, she texted Darren.
Darren got the message quickly. But he was still angry, he decided to ignore it. A minute later, his phone rang and it was a phone call from Natalie. Darren gave a cold snort and hung up. He thought, “Begging for my help now? Too late! I’m not going to take care of her anymore.”
On the other side, Natalie got hung up on right away. She knew exactly what was going on. She didn’t call Darren again. She raised her eyebrow and casually sent a text. [Be at the office at nine, a surprise for you.]
