Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 99

Darren had to admit, Marie had been flirting with him, dropping hints constantly. Around that time, she had been complaining to him and his mother that her father was forcing her to go on blind dates.

Darren knew she was trying to create a sense of crisis, to make him feel like he was about to lose her.

“She was just playing around.”

“Playing around? She has some pretty elaborate games. But frankly, I have no interest in whatever is going on between you two. We’re divorced. You don’t need to explain anything to me.”

“I never thought you wouldn't believe me, and I never thought you'd be so determined to divorce me. I thought you couldn't leave me.”

For five years, Natalie had been utterly devoted to Darren, like a loyal dog he could never quite shake off.

“Five years of being a lapdog is long enough. Is it so wrong that I don’t want to be one anymore?”

“Even after I’ve explained everything, you’re still not coming back?”

Darren's original plan was to make it impossible for her to find work, to leave her with no way to support herself. He thought she would come crawling back to him.

He never imagined she would immediately find a position as a private doctor for the Lockwood family. It was clear she had no intention of returning, not even for their child.

“There’s always been a barrier between you and her—the fact that she’s your sister-in-law. You couldn't be together before. But now, your son has earned you a wave of public sympathy. Many people online are rooting for you, especially after that TV drama you funded. Everyone knows your story now.

Your tragic ending brought tears to many eyes. I’ve been cast as the villain in your little script, but I’m done playing that part. You two should just be happy together.”

Marie had commissioned that drama to rekindle their old feelings, but some things are best left in the past, especially since she had married his brother.
