Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21 A Little Price To Pay
Emily was furious, pushing Nathan's hand away. "Nathan, are you out of your mind?! You're the one who wants a divorce, and you're also the one who doesn't want it. What exactly are you trying to do?!"

Her voice was loud, but luckily the seafood restaurant was empty in the early morning, with only a few staff glancing over.

Nathan, who usually cared a lot about his image, grabbed her hand and dragged her towards a private room. "Let's talk inside."

"I'm not going! Nathan, let go of me! If you keep this up, I'll scream for help!" Emily resisted, firmly holding onto the wall to prevent him from dragging her away.

Nathan smirked coldly, "Emily, you've become quite hot-headed after a few days apart. Tell me, who is the man you've been with?"

"Who I'm with is none of your business!" Emily clenched the wall tightly, refusing to be dragged.

A waiter, noticing the tense situation, approached and asked, "Mr. Reed, is everything okay?"

"It's none of your concern. My wife and I had a little argument, she's throwing a tantrum. I'll handle it. You go back to work; I didn't call for you, so don't disturb us." Nathan's face was cold as he spoke to the waiter.

The waiter hesitated but since Nathan was a regular customer, they didn't dare to pry further, just nodded and retreated.

Emily shouted for help, "I'm not his wife! I'm not! Please help me call the police!"

"Emily!" Nathan growled lowly, "Don't test my patience! Just because I've changed my attitude towards you doesn't mean you can behave recklessly!"

"I'm not interested in you! Let go of me!" Emily retorted coldly.

The waiters looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Fortunately, at that moment, Sophia returned from fixing her makeup.

"Nathan, what's going on..." Sophia saw Nathan entangled with another woman from afar, about to rush over to question him, then she saw the woman's face.

She widened her eyes, "Emily?"

Emily's wrist was still tightly held by Nathan. She frowned and gritted her teeth, "Nathan, your woman's here. Are you going to keep holding onto me?"

Nathan's face was full of unwillingness, but he still let go of her.

Once Emily was free, she rubbed her sore wrist and turned to Sophia, her face ironclad, "Sophia, you're just in time. Can you please control your man? Otherwise, I'll go and report him for harassment. I mean what I say."

Sophia's expression wasn't much better. Before, a little coquetry from her would easily win Nathan over, but ever since he saw her makeup mishap, he had been cold to her for several days. Now she was trying her best to please him, how could she possibly control him?
