Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 444

Terence's smile was radiant. His mood had certainly changed quickly.

Natalie was speechless. How could he be smiling at a time like this?

"Terence, how can you still be smiling? The video is out, and we didn't clear anything up. The Lockwood Group's stock will plummet tomorrow. The board of directors will be all over you..."

Natalie was frantic and worried, dreading the inevitable stock market crash for the Lockwood Group the next day.

But Terence suddenly pulled her into his arms, settling her onto his lap. He held her and said, "Don't worry. Even if the sky falls tomorrow, I'm in a wheelchair. It can't crush me."

Natalie couldn't help but smile. How could he make a joke at a time like this?

"Your smile is beautiful."

Terence held Natalie, watching her smile, and felt a sense of peace.

"Terence, how can you joke right now?"

"If I don't joke, how can I see you smile?"

At that moment, Natalie felt a bit helpless against him.

She didn't struggle out of his embrace because right now, she really just needed someone to lean on.

The pain of being betrayed by her own son was worse than being cheated on by a husband.

Terence held Natalie tightly and said, "No matter what happens, I'm here."

The next day, at the hospital.

Hanley looked at Victoria timidly. "Grandma, when Auntie is back, can I be with my mommy?"

Hearing this, Victoria's smile vanished instantly.

"Hanley, why would you want to be with your mommy? Don't you care about your aunt anymore?"

"I made Mommy angry with what I did. I want to apologize to her properly. I want to be with Mommy."

Victoria hadn't expected Hanley to still want to be with Natalie. She said angrily, "You don't need to apologize to her. Her heart only has room for those two Lockwood children. How could there be space for you? Besides, she said she was cutting all ties with you. Why would she care? She's probably thrilled to get rid of you. That way, the Lockwood family won't see her as someone dragging around baggage."

Hanley froze. He asked nervously, "So... Mommy doesn't want me, and it's not because I falsely accused Terence?"

"Natalie was just looking for an excuse to get rid of you. After all, if you kept going to see her, the Lockwood family would be unhappy. It would remind Terence that your mommy was once married to someone else. To Terence, you're a thorn in his side. That's why your mommy said that—just to get away from you."
