Natalie panicked. Why were the two of them calling her 'Mommy'?
"Lucas, Liana, why are you calling me 'Mommy'?"
[Natalie, does that mean you don't want to be our mommy?]
Just then, Lucas grabbed Natalie's hand. "Natalie, I'm sorry. Is it because you think my daddy is a burden now that he's poor? You don't want this big burden, and you don't want us two little burdens, so you don't want to be our mommy?"
Lucas looked utterly pitiful. Liana also hung her head, peeking at Natalie from the corner of her eye with a miserable expression.
[Is Natalie going to leave us? I guess so. This place is so dirty, of course Natalie will leave us.]
Seeing the two children looking so heartbroken, Natalie said, "I don't mind this place. I'm just…"
She was just wondering how she had suddenly become their mommy.
Terence sighed. "It was selfish of me to guilt-trip you into staying. If you want to leave, I won’t stop you. Look at me—I’m a broken man with a daughter who is non-verbal. We're living in such a run-down place. If you don't want to be with us, I can understand. I won't blame you. You can go. And don't worry, I'll take good care of the children."
Natalie was stunned and flustered. "No, that's not it at all."
Terence continued, "Don't worry about us. Even if you leave, no one will think you're a gold-digger. I know you haven't accepted my feelings yet and don't want them calling you 'Mommy.' But I'm telling you sincerely, you're free to leave.
Liana understood instantly. She gestured with her hands.
[You're right, brother. We love Natalie so much, how can we let her suffer with us? Natalie doesn't have to suffer with us.]
Natalie's heart was in a turmoil, and she didn't know how to explain herself.
Liana signed to Natalie.
[Natalie, you should go. You deserve better. Daddy is a burden now, and so am I. We don't want to be your burdens. We just want you to be happy. Can you come visit me often, Natalie?]

The readers' comments on the novel: Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie)
I think Terence must know something isn't right about Angela, that's why he agreed to figure it out....
Marie needs to be gone, she has caused enough trouble for Natalie. This is getting boring!...
This fiasco needs to end. Natalie and Terrance need to be together and in my mind somehow those twins are Natalie’s....
Time for Marie to get her end, this has gone on way too long, time to move on. It’s getting boring....
Payback time. Waiting for chapters 321 onwards!...
I love the sarcastic comebacks. Quite amusing!...
