Terence said, “Miss Everhart, if you find this place too rundown, you’re free to leave. We didn’t force you to be here.”
Had Angela and Darren teamed up to interrupt their dinner?
Angela said angrily, “Terence, how can you treat me like this? I just can’t stand to see you suffer. How could you give up your position as CEO for this woman and come here to endure this? Why are you debasing yourself like this?”
Terence replied, “I don’t feel like I’m debasing myself. I’m willing to do anything for her.”
Angela retorted furiously, “She’s still with you now, but just wait. See if she doesn’t run off after a while. She was only with you because she thought the Lockwood family was rich and powerful. She still thinks you have a chance to get back your position as CEO, so she’s just putting on a show for you, pretending to be loyal.
But once some time passes and she realizes you can’t go back to the Lockwood family, she’ll definitely run off!”
“I actually hope she leaves us, so she can live a stable life. I don’t want to drag her down or see her live in hardship. It would be better for her to leave me.”
Angela was completely stunned. What kind of lovesick fool was this?
She had tried to tell Terence that Natalie was a vain, gold-digging woman who would eventually abandon him. But instead, Terence thought Natalie *should* leave him and wouldn’t even blame her if she did.
What on earth had happened to him? How could her Terence have become like this?
“Terence, what are you talking about? This woman really knows how to play mind games. Besides Rose Everhart, I’ve never seen you care so much about anyone.”
He didn’t believe for a second that Natalie would be willing to be someone else’s substitute.
Darren grabbed Natalie’s arm fiercely and said, “You said you didn’t want to be a maid, but you’re willing to be a substitute? Are you willing to be a stand-in for a dead woman and raise her children for her?”
Natalie told herself that what she felt for Terence wasn’t love. But hearing that his kindness was only because she resembled his dead first love still made her heart ache.
That Rose Everhart must be Lucas and Liana’s mother. So, she was just a substitute. Natalie suddenly felt pathetic. When it came to love, she was either a maid or a substitute.
Thank goodness she hadn’t given her heart away. As expected, if you don’t let yourself fall in love, no one can ever hurt you.

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!...
