Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 49

Natalie lowered her head, afraid the murderous intent in her eyes would show.

"I'll handle the reporters. You just need to stay by my side. I'll take care of the rest."

Natalie nodded obediently. Darren took her hand and said gently, "Let's go."

As Darren led Natalie forward, Marie stood behind them, grinding her teeth in hatred.

Just then, Natalie glanced back at Marie. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, her expression a mix of cool disdain and mockery.

Marie nearly choked with rage. How dare Natalie look at her like that? Did she think she was so special just because Darren was taking her to a press conference?

She would show her who truly deserved to stand by Darren's side, who the real mistress of the Cross family was.

Darren, holding Natalie's hand, walked into the conference hall. The moment the doors opened, all the reporters shot to their feet, cameras flashing wildly.

The blinding light of the flashes made Natalie frown.

Seeing this, Darren thoughtfully used his hand to shield her from the incessant flashes.

For a moment, she saw him as he once was—the bright, wholesome senior from school who had dived in front of her to block a stray ball under the blazing sun.

That day, he had crashed into her heart.

She had thought he was as warm as the sun, that by getting close to him, she could draw a little warmth for herself. Instead, he had given her an endless winter.

"I'm fine."

Natalie forced a smile and gently pushed Darren's hand away.

Darren assumed she was just uncomfortable with public displays of affection, not noticing the coldness in her trembling fingertips.

"Good. No matter what happens, I'm here."

Meanwhile, the reporters in the audience were whispering amongst themselves.

"Is that the CEO's wife? Even without makeup, she's so beautiful."
