Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 222

“Does it make you emotional? Seeing how some people who are in love are separated by death, while others who could be perfectly happy together choose to cheat instead.”

Natalie nodded. Darren was still a wound in her heart that throbbed whenever it was touched.

“You just chose the wrong person. If you find someone who truly loves you, how could there ever be cheating? Don’t you worry. The Lockwood family has a legacy of devoted men.”

Old Mrs. Lockwood smiled with a sudden pride. She was always so serious. In all the time Natalie had been with the Lockwoods, she had never seen her smile.

“True love is born from great families, and the Lockwood family is just that. Our descendants are carefully chosen by our ancestors; all are devoted lovers. You can rest easy.”

Whether it was her husband, her son, or her grandson, they were different from other men—they were all deeply devoted.

Old Mrs. Lockwood was very proud. In her era, she had found a good husband, and the bloodline they produced was of the highest quality.

Natalie understood that Old Mrs. Lockwood was proud of the men in her family, but why was she telling her to “rest easy?”

What did that mean?

Old Mrs. Lockwood looked at Natalie. “You have a natural grace and dignity. You don’t seem like a girl from an ordinary family. Perhaps you took a wrong turn when you were reincarnated.”

Old Mrs. Lockwood’s deep-set eyes studied Natalie. She had been secretly observing her for a long time. She truly was different—calm, intelligent, and with a scholarly air about her. In ancient times, she would have been the treasured daughter of a prestigious family.

That evening, Natalie brought Terence the herbal soup she had prepared. She personally brewed the medicine for both him and Liana.

“Time to drink your medicine.”

Terence drank it, and Natalie began the treatment.

His eyes were downcast, watching her. She was as composed as ever, no different from usual.

“Mr. Lockwood, once I’ve done what I need to do, I will leave the Lockwood family. Even if something unexpected happens in the finals, I won’t drag the family down.”

If she couldn't take first place in the finals, she wouldn't be able to silence the naysayers.

The Lockwood Group's stock had already been affected. If her performance was poor, it would be seen as confirmation of the accusations, causing even greater damage to the company.

Terence remained calm, his captivating eyes fixed on Natalie.

“Do you think the Lockwood family is afraid of being dragged down?”

Natalie looked up, meeting his gaze. He always made her feel safe, but she knew he didn't owe her anything.

“Mr. Lockwood, the Lockwood family is powerful and naturally isn’t afraid of anything. It’s just… there’s no need to invite unnecessary trouble.”

She was the unnecessary trouble.
