The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 414

Elizabeth seemed guilty when she saw Natalie and explained, “Jorge is doing much better now. He even brought me to work.” Jorge scratched the back of his head and smiled apologetically at Natalie. “I’m sorry. I was in a bad mood due to my withdrawals. And as for what happened with Elizabeth, I sincerely apologized to her. I won’t lose control again, and I will definitely appreciate her from now on.”

Jorge’s words sounded sincere, but Natalie’s instincts told her not to trust him completely. She nodded coldly and entered the study, leaving Jorge behind. After saying goodbye to Jorge, Elizabeth hurried to catch up with Natalie. She explained that she wanted to give Jorge another chance because they had a good conversation, and he promised never to hurt her again.

Natalie’s heart sank, knowing that it was unlikely for domestic abuse to stop once it started. Jorge’s promise didn’t seem reliable. Natalie couldn’t understand how someone as insightful in her career as Elizabeth could be so weak and hesitant in love, staying in such a toxic relationship. “Do what you think is right. Only you know where it hurts. I can give you my opinion, but ultimately, it’s your choice and your life,” Natalie advised Elizabeth meaningfully before heading to the tea room for some water.

As Natalie absentmindedly listened to the water pouring from the dispenser, her mind wandered to what she had seen on her laptop the previous day. Unaware of her surroundings, she didn’t notice that her glass was almost full. Suddenly, she heard a soft warning. Startled, Natalie turned around to find Draco standing behind her. Draco frowned and took the cup from Natalie’s hands just in time. It was then that Natalie realized what had happened.

“Mr. Wesley, are you all right?” Natalie asked with concern, quickly apologizing to Draco and checking his hand for any signs of scalding.

Draco waved dismissively and placed the glass on the table. “I’m fine, but what about you? You seemed quite distracted just now,” he remarked, looking at her intently.

Natalie averted her gaze and replied, “I’m sorry. My mind was somewhere else…”

Draco’s kind eyes studied her face. “What’s going on? Are you under stress?” he inquired, sensing that something was bothering her.

Natalie shook her head, offering a slight smile, but it was evident that he hadn’t fully grasped the situation. His eyes appeared distant as he murmured, “No… What I saw on your laptop last night was so strange, it genuinely frightened me.”

Realizing that he didn’t wish to discuss it further, Natalie decided not to p**ss him. She trusted that if it was something truly troubling, Draco would confide in her when he was ready.

“Are you free this afternoon? We have a new colleague joining us,” Draco changed the subject, hoping to lighten the mood.

Natalie’s eyes lit up at the prospect of meeting a new designer. “Do we finally have a new addition to the team? Ever since Rosa left, it’s been just you, Elizabeth, and me handling the designs,” she exclaimed.

Draco chuckled softly. “Well, Dolores isn’t exactly a newcomer. She used to work here before and has now returned. You’ll meet her this afternoon,” he explained, satisfied that Natalie seemed more at ease.
