Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 694

Marcus said, “Natalie, I’ll take good care of Mom here. You have work to do, so you should go.”

Elaine was even more confused when she heard Marcus telling Natalie to go to work. She knew how much Marcus wanted Natalie to come home, so why weren’t they trying to persuade her now?

Shouldn’t they keep trying to convince her to come home with them?

“Okay, I’ll leave now. Please take care of yourself.”

After Natalie left, Elaine said in a panic, “Why did you let her go? She’s not heartless. I saw how upset she was for me. She’ll come home with us. Even for my sake, she would have come home.”

Elaine was getting agitated. Richard sighed. “But that would be forcing her. She hasn’t accepted us in her heart yet. We shouldn’t push her. The Ward Group and all our family’s money… she doesn’t want it, so to her, it’s not a good thing. It’s the same with us. We think we can be the best family for her, but what did we do before? Have we ever stopped to think if she even wants to accept us as her family?”

Richard’s words silenced Elaine. He was right. She had only been focused on getting her daughter back, assuming that because Natalie was their daughter, she should return to them.

But had they ever asked if she was willing to accept this new identity?

Elaine suddenly understood. They shouldn’t be pressuring her.

…

After leaving the hospital, Natalie looked deeply troubled.

“Am I… being too cold? She did save my life, after all.”

In the darkness of a villa’s secret basement, a masked man spoke in a furious voice, “You were too reckless today. You shouldn’t have shown your face!”

“The Ward family wants to give everything to Natalie! Those luxury cars, the designer bags, they should all be mine! Natalie stole what belongs to me, and I can’t stand it! I am the Ward heiress! Why should Natalie get to steal everything that is mine? She’s a thief! I won’t accept it! I just want her dead!”

Marie shrieked, unleashing her hysterical rage.

The masked man suddenly lunged forward and grabbed Marie by the throat. “You fool,” he hissed. “How dare you so brazenly try to harm Natalie at a time like this? Do you really think Terence is some kind of pushover? His men are conducting a city-wide search for you right now, and they’re going to tear this city apart to find you. I can’t protect you from that. You’re finished!”

Marie began to panic. She had thought this mysterious man was all-powerful, her ultimate protector, which was why she had acted so boldly. Now, he was telling her he couldn't save her.
