Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 788

She had promised not to leave, saying that while her paycheck wasn't much, it was enough to keep the four of them afloat.

She wanted to support them? This was perfect.

Terence could barely suppress a grin that not even a wrecking ball could wipe off his face.

“You went from being the CEO of the Lockwood Group to just staying at home. I never once considered how you felt inside. I just thought your cooking was delicious and let you keep doing it. I’m sorry. I should have paid more attention to your feelings, to whether you were bored at home.”

Suddenly, Natalie was overcome with guilt.

Terence stroked her hair.

“What are you thinking about? Are you worried that I’ll lose my spirit just sitting at home with nothing to do? Don’t worry, I’m already looking at locations for a new restaurant and planning to hire a chef. It certainly won’t make as much money as the Lockwood Group, but it will be enough to support our family. And if I fail, I’ll still have you to take care of me, right?”

Terence smiled warmly.

Natalie suddenly realized she had been overthinking things. This was Terence, after all. He wouldn’t be defeated so easily.

“Opening a restaurant is a great idea. I’ll come and help out.”

Lucas chimed in, “We want to help, too.”

Liana quickly typed on her phone and showed it to them: "I want to help, too."

“Alright. It’s still in the planning stages, but when it opens, you can all come and help.”

Callum Everhart was already furious about the Aurelius Dominion Group suddenly pulling out of their own deal. Seeing Angela rush in, concerned only with the Cross Group, made him feel like he was about to have an aneurysm.

“Angela, I am your father! Right now, all you can think about is the Cross Group? Have you spared a single thought for our own Everhart Group? Do you have any idea how much damage Aurelius Dominion canceling on us will do? I’m about to lose my mind here!”

“Of course I know that, Dad,” Angela said. “But we can’t cancel the deal with the Cross Group now. With Aurelius Dominion pulling out, our own company is going to be in trouble. Darren from the Cross Group is a trustworthy person, and he takes this project very seriously. I believe he can help us get through this crisis.”

“Angela, are you still defending that Darren? It seems I’ve spoiled you too much and left you completely naive about how harsh the world is!

“Do you not understand what kind of entity the Aurelius Dominion Group is? They are the most powerful conglomerate in the city! Now that they’ve canceled on us, what will people think? What about all those who followed the trend and supported us? Will they kick us while we’re down? This partnership with Aurelius Dominion accounts for fifty percent of our entire company’s business. Even if this doesn’t bankrupt us, what’s the difference?”

“But Dad, this isn’t the Cross Group’s fault, and it’s certainly not Darren’s fault. We can’t let him be ruined for life. Dad, please, I’m begging you, give the Cross Group a chance.”
