Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 284

Natalie looked at Darren and, for the first time, offered a smile.

"I understand your predicament. After what happened, you couldn't say your mother set you up, nor could you admit that you and Marie almost slept together, because people would look down on them. So you took all the blame. How noble of you."

Darren's face lit up with a hint of excitement.

"So… you understand?"

"I understand. Not only do I understand, I respect your decision. Since you wanted to protect your family, I'll accommodate you. We're already divorced, so there's no need to dwell on the past. You've successfully protected the people you wanted to protect. You just can't… have it both ways."

Natalie's smile instantly froze over, and Darren's heart sank to the bottom of his stomach.

She still wouldn't forgive him.

"I… I know. I'm just happy you were willing to see me. In five years, I never gave you the happiness a woman deserves. Thank you for giving me this chance today."

Natalie's brow furrowed. What did he mean by that?

Just then, Darren stepped closer to Natalie. She watched him warily, but he just said gently, "Look over there."

Confused, Natalie turned and followed the direction of his finger.

At that moment, countless drones, like a swarm of twinkling stars, ascended into the sky. She could hear the cheers of people below.

The sudden appearance of so many drones excited the onlookers. Though they were across the road, she could clearly hear their excited shouts.

"That's so cool! Look at all those drones! It's spectacular!"

Natalie watched as the points of light formed a river of stars flowing into the night sky. The magnificent sight left her momentarily stunned.

The river of stars against the night was breathtakingly beautiful, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

But even with her brow furrowed, he didn't want to miss a single moment of it.

"This is my apology to you. I hope you can accept it, and I dare to hope that under this sea of stars, we can go back to how we were."

Next, the drones changed formation again, splitting into two sides.

One side formed the shape of a finger, and the other, a ring. The ring slowly moved toward the finger.

Just then, Darren dropped to one knee and presented a diamond ring. He looked at Natalie with deep affection and said, "Natalie, can you forgive me? Let's get married again."

The sight of Darren on one knee, with the stunning drone performance in the night sky, was indeed a beautiful picture.

Natalie didn't speak. She simply took the ring he was offering. Her action confused Darren.

Normally, shouldn't she say yes, and then he would slip it on her finger, just like the drones were showing? Why did she just take it?
