Chapter 88
Natalie felt embarrassed by his words and glared at him. “I learned, okay? I used to be so foolish that I saw one man as the entire focus of my life. My mind has changed now.”
“What do you mean?” said Arthur.
“I’ve learned to explore broadly while being careful in my choices. Natalie said seriously. “If I was ignored in conversations, that would be my fault.”
Arthur chuckled, feeling confused. “Why is it your fault?”
“Can’t you see?” Natalie raised her eyebrows and continued, “My fault was focusing on just one person. If I were chatting with a hundred men at the same time, I wouldn’t care about the few who ignore me.”
Arthur was enlightened. “You seem to have a good point. However, I always feel that something is wrong.”
Natalie crossed her arms and snorted, “I’m saying that I won’t fall for anyone easily. Besides, Darren is my ex-husband and I’ll never get back together with him.”
Arthur nodded, agreeing with her. “You’re right. You’re pretty, talented, and smart. You deserve the best man in the world. Just forget about your ex-husband!”
“Exactly!” Natalie said seriously.
Arthur felt much more relieved. “By the way, I’ve noticed that Darren seems to have been harassing you lately.”
“Pride.” Natalie immediately pinpointed the problem. “I used to act too humble around him. Suddenly ignoring him hurt his pride.”
Arthur laughed and said, “He’s too vulnerable, I wonder how heartbroken he would be if you found a boyfriend.”
Just then, Natalie’s got another message on WhatsApp. She clicked on it while saying, “I’m not trying to get a boyfriend to get back at him, Arthur. I’m doing it for myself. I’ve learned one thing in the past three years.” Suddenly, she felt a little sad.
Arthur frowned, his luxury watch gleaming with a dim light in the night, just like his
eyes.
He asked, “What is it?”
“Only mutual love ends well.” Natalie laughed

I didn’t learn that lesson until I broke up with him. I had a carefree childhood and always got what I wanted. I used to take him for granted.”
She thought, I spent three years with Darren for nothing. He never scold me or hurt me. And he never talked to
me or really loved me. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get any attention from him.'”
She used to be an excellent woman who was loved by countless people, but he saw her as the
most terrible woman in the world as if she didn’t deserve to be loved. She was crushed by her disappointment in him.
For the past three years, she had been directionless, like someone drowning. She frequently doubted herself and even fell into despair. It wasn’t until she calmed down and let go of him that she realized that love was the only thing in the world that couldn’t be forced.
“Never mind.” She rolled down the window and said, “It’s all over. I got to move on. Being hurt by someone I love doesn’t mean much to me. I bet everyone has done absurd things for love. I guess that’s what life is all about. What I’m going to do next is to hang out with all those handsome men!” She grinned. Suddenly, she thought about Alex, the designer Vivian mentioned.
Therefore, she clicked on Twitter and deleted her account quickly, eliminating the existence of Alex on the internet.
There was nothing on the internet about him right now.
She thought, ‘I designed that wedding dress for myself, but I didn’t get a chance to wear it. However, it doesn’t matter.
Just like Alex, which was the least significant of my countless aliases, my past with Darren is just an ordinary chapter in my life. I have a bright future waiting for me!”
Natalie got home at exactly eight o’clock in the evening. After playing with Rafael for ten minutes, she took a shower and went to bed.
Her phone kept ringing before she fell asleep. She didn’t know whom those messages were from and she had no interest in texting back. She turned off her phone directly and fell asleep.
Darren checked the messages he sent her repeatedly and waited for her reply until the early hours of the morning.

Lift Weights for an Hour Every Day: Mr. Luther introduced you to me:[
Lin Weights for an Hoin Every Day: Nice to meet you.]
Lift Weights for an Hour Every Day Have you had dinner?]
Lift Weights for an Hour Every Day: Why do you keep ignoring me?]
Lift Weights for an Hour Every Day: Did you fall asleep?
He thought. That doesn’t sound like at alll Natalie probably hasn’t figured out who I am yet, right? Why didn’t she text me back? Is she chatting with another guy?
No. I can’t let her get Rafael a stepfather. That’s humiliating! After thinking for a while, Darren texted her again.
Lift Weights for an Hour Every Day: Do you want to see my abs?]
He said that on purpose. However, ten minutes later, he still got no reply. Darren guessed that she might be sleeping. Thinking of this, he felt relieved because that meant she was chatting with another man.
It was the weekend the next day, but many people got up early. After all, Natalie was going to clarify the rumors about her having affairs with six older men. Even before six o’clock, a lot of people were already gathering online.
[I’ve been waiting since the wee hours. Didn’t she say she would clear up the rumors on Sunday? Where is she? Did she lie to us?]
[I’ll roast her if she lied to us! We’re not someone she can easily mess with. She better keep that in mind.]
[Come out now, Natalie! Do you feel guilty for what you did? I’ll take your silence as a yes!]
Natalie wasn’t bothered by those negative comments at all.
She followed her daily routine as usual. She had exercise after getting up. When she was having breakfast, she gave the maid her phone and asked her to read the messages she got on WhatsApp.
Then she began to deal with them like a busy boss.
The maid said, “You got a lot of messages from a guy called ‘Lifi Weights for an Hour Every Day’, Ms. Xavier. His last message was to ask if you wanted to see his abs.”

Natalie remembered that username and it was the last person she added on her way home yesterday. She only knew that Henry introduced him to her, but she didn’t expect him to be so hot.
Natalie finished her toast and took her phone to text him back.
Queen Natalie: [Stop bragging if you don’t have abs.]
She didn’t wait for a reply. After all, men were just like toys to her now. Also, she wasn’t fond of men who sent her pictures of their abs right after meeting her.
She could just take them as tools to kill time, but she didn’t want to marry them. They seemed like the type who would cheat after getting married.
While thinking about this, Natalie clicked on Twitter. Seeing those harsh comments. towards her, she smiled and began to edit a post.
Two minutes later. Queen Natalie: [Wake up. Time to work. @Christian the President of the Boxing Association @Walter the Panda Warrior @Samuel’s Paintbrush @Hunter the Doctor at Greton Hospital @Edward the Chess Prodigy @Charles the Master of Divination.]
