A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 276 Her Eyes

The secretary noticed her displeasure, and a shiver ran down her spine at that instant.

As expected, the next thing Natalie said was, “Please help me throw them away. Thanks.”

“Yes, ma’am.Of course!”

“And…” Natalie glanced at the secretary, a sharpness flashing in her eyes. “Go to the HR department

and settle your three months‘ salary.”

“A–are you firing me, Ms. Walker?”

Tears immediately welled up in the secretary’s eyes after hearing Natalie’s words.

Natalie pinched her aching forehead and fell silent. Her whole demeanor exuded a chilling aura.

Seeing Natalie in this state, the secretary understood she couldn’t say anything more. Despite feeling

wronged, she obediently took the lavender and left.

For the past two years, Natalie had always been firm, demanding strict dedication from those around

her.

Shortly after, Karina entered.

“Ms. Walker.”

“What is it?”

“Why were you so angry? You scared Linda.”

“Didn’t you know that Cedric’s people came into contact with her?” Natalie’s tone was serious.

Karina was stunned.

Ah, so that was what had happened!

Cedric was a nerve–wracking presence to Natalie. She didn’t even want to hear anything related to

Cedric or his people.

The fact that Lucas handed the lavender to Linda undoubtedly hit the end of Natalie’s limit.

m sorry, Ms. Walker. I’m the one who didn’t make it clear to our people. Linda is innocent, and she has

to support her grandmother at home. If you could…”

“Enough, don’t let it happen again.”

“Okay.” Karina breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Natalie’s response.

In fact, people around Natalie knew that no matter how Natalle changed, she was not a heartless

person. The decision to dismiss the secretary just now was undoubtedly made in the

Natalie was tensed the entire afternoon. She was clearly trying hard not to initiate contact

with Cedric.

However, the photo of Bia had completely strained her nerves, making her world utterly

restless.

Finally, she picked up her phone and dialed his number.

However, the man seemed busy. It wasn’t until the call almost went into voicemail that a magnetic voice

answered, “Hello.”

“It’s me.”

“Oh? Aren’t you going to hang up this time?” The man’s tone carried a hint of displeasure.

Natalie knew he was referring to the morning. After learning that the photo was real, her world was in

chaos, and she didn’t want to face him.

After a day’s effort, Natalie had almost accepted the reality.

Bianca…!

Cedric either had her, or he had the clues that could lead to her. In any case, being too aggressive

towards Cedric now wouldn’t help in finding Bianca.

Despite sensing displeasure on the other end of the phone, Natalie took a deep breath and tried to

soften her tone, “Do you have time now? Can we meet?”

Silence fell in the air.

Natalie’s heart tightened at that moment. The Heavy and coarse breathing on the other end seemed to

cause the air to become even colder.

Just as she was about to say something more, Cedric chuckled coldly, “If it weren’t for Bianca, would

you ever willingly meet me in this lifetime, Nat?”

The tone was icy, yet it seemed to carry a hint of bitterness within the coldness. Natalie’s chest

tightened.

Clearly, this was not a question she wanted to confront directly.

“Shall we meet?” Instead of responding to the man’s words, she straightforwardly asked.

Cedric replied, “Yes, I’ll come pick you up.”

“Alright.”

After hanging up Cedric’s call, Natalle felt like she was in an ice cellar, Cedric’s words. repeatedly

echoed in her mind.

Would she?

He was right. If it weren’t because of Bianca, she would have preferred to avoid any contact with him

forever.

But who was the one who had caused her to have this trauma?!

Ten minutes later, Cedric arrived.

Lucas came to escort her. However, Linda was still afraid due to the lavender incident and dared not let

him in.

“Please don’t make things difficult for me, sir. Ms. Walker won’t see you,” Linda said, almost crying at

the prospect of being in trouble.

Lucas frowned and called Natalie.

Shortly after, Natalie came out with an unpleasant expression. Linda thought Natalie was upset with her

and stammered, “M–Ms. Walker, he insists on being here, and I…”

‘Return to your work!” Natalie coldly interrupted Linda, cutting off her words.

To Linda, Natalie’s interruption was a welcome relief.

Inside the elevator, Lucas glanced at Natalie’s stylish glasses.

He handed the car keys to Natalie, and she asked, “What?”

“Mr. Johnson had some drinks.”

So now Cedric couldn’t drive. In their current situation, Lucas naturally didn’t dare to get involved

casually.

Natalie frowned but eventually took the car keys. When they reached the underground parking lot, she

clearly felt a reduction in visual effects. Since her recovery two years ago, she disliked places like

underground parking lots the most.

It was too dark!

Her life now indeed had many inconveniences. Strong lights caused significant damage to her vision,

while dim lights made her unable to see.

The sound of her high heels echoed crisply in the empty underground parking lot. Lucas respectfully

followed behind Natalie.

Suddenly

“Ah!”

“Watch out!” Lucas quickly reached out to support Natalie, who had stumbled.

In an instant, Natalie straightened up.

“Are you okay?” Lucas asked.

“I’m fine.” Natalie shook her head and said nothing else.

Lucas glanced at her, then turned to look at the well-lit stairs where they had just passed. Even

someone with poor eyesight would clearly see the end of the stairs.

Yet, she almost stumbled.

His brow furrowed slightly, and he quickly caught up to Natalie.

As usual, Cedric’s Phantom was waiting for them.

The vehicle was very eye–catching-

Lucas respectfully opened the car door for her. “After you.”

Natalie got in the car, and Lucas stepped back.

With only Natalie and Cedric left in the car, Natalie glanced at the man in the back seat. His eyes were

closed, and Natalie asked coldly, “Where to?”

Cedric replied, “Peach Garden.”

Peach Garden?

It was the largest farm area in Simeria, where many wealthy people in Simeria bought properties in the

villa area. They usually spent their weekends there.

Houses in that area were scarce and highly sought after. Natalie hadn’t expected Cedric to have a

house in Peach Garden as well.

But then again, when had she truly understood this man?

The thought brought a mocking smile to her lips.

“Why haven’t you started driving?” The man’s tone became somewhat impatient as the car

remained idle.

Natalie glanced at the dimly lit underground parking lot. She rarely drove herself. The dim. lighting in

places like these wasn’t ideal for her.

Despite the efforts made by both herself and her uncle and aunt to protect her eyesight over the past

two years, the damage was done.

No matter how well she maintained it, it couldn’t return to what it used to be.
