Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 123

Natalie looked at Mrs. Lockwood, confused by her meaning.

“My son may be in a wheelchair, but he’s the head of the Lockwood Group. He’s handsome, powerful, and capable. A man like him could marry any woman he wants. Why would he choose a divorcée with a child? That’s prejudice for you.”

Mrs. Lockwood’s eyes bored into Natalie, who didn’t look away.

“But after seeing you, I’m starting to think my son and my grandchildren have excellent taste.”

Natalie’s brow furrowed slightly. So, Mrs. Lockwood… still misunderstood?

“Mrs. Lockwood, you’ve really got it wrong.”

“Are you saying you haven’t fallen for my son? Because he has clearly taken an interest in you. This whole story about helping you out by pretending? Impossible. My son is cold and ruthless. Someone could drop dead in front of him and he wouldn’t even bat an eye. You think he’d put himself in the middle of a scandal just to help you?” Mrs. Lockwood raised an eyebrow, a cunning smile on her face. “My son isn’t that noble.”

Terence: “…”

Just as Mrs. Lockwood was speaking, Terence arrived with the two children in tow.

His face was grim. He had managed to handle his grandmother but hadn't counted on his mother showing up.

“You managed to capture my son’s heart. I’m quite surprised, considering he’s always been hung up on…”

Just then, Terence cut in.

“Lucas, Liana, your grandmother is here.”

Lucas and Liana ran over to Mrs. Lockwood, delighted to see her. To them, their grandmother was the most beautiful and best grandmother in the world.

“Grandma!”

“Lucas, Liana, my darlings.”

“Natalie, you certainly have a way with them, making them care about you so much.”

Natalie frowned. “Your great-grandmother told you not to follow. You can’t just hide and eavesdrop on adult conversations. I know you were worried about me, but this isn't the right way to handle it, understand?”

They were still just children, and she didn't want them overhearing things they shouldn't.

“Natalie, from now on, we’ll be polite and well-behaved. We won’t eavesdrop on grown-ups.”

Natalie stroked their hair gently. “Good. I’ll remember that. You have to be polite children, okay?”

Lucas and Liana nodded vigorously, both looking as obedient as could be.

Mrs. Lockwood looked on, astonished. “My grandson, who fears nothing and no one, is actually listening to you.”

“They’re not just listening to me, they respect me. They see me as their teacher, and as family.”
