A Divorce After My Rebirth

Chapter 16 He Was No Longer Her Support

Rain poured down steadily, causing the water level of the small creek next to the villa to rise.

In the piano room, Natalie was playing the instrument, her music harmonizing with the creek’s gentle

flow. With her satin–like long hair, the sight of her sitting behind the piano w with the creek’s gentle

Standing outside the door, Cedric couldn’t help but exclaim at the sight.

The piano abruptly fell silent.

Natalie noticed him and gently asked, “When did you come back?”

“Ten minutes ago,” the man replied as he stepped inside.

He hadn’t changed his shoes, and had been wearing the same clothes for a few days. It was evident that he had been with Isabella over the past few days. At this moment, his deep and piercing eyes appeared

somewhat weary as he stood next to Natalie.

“Did you see what was sent to me in the lobby downstairs?” Natalie asked calmly, without a hint of

emotion in her eyes.

“Why didn’t you let someone deal with it?” Cedric questioned.

Natalie didn’t directly answer Cedric’s question but posed one of her own, “Are you not curious about who

sent it in the first place?”

dare to do such a thing. Online threats were one thing, but sending such intimidating items directly to this place was another.

Natalie was a timid woman. When rumors began to spread online, Cedric had been waiting for her to call him, especially since she had been acting unusually during this period.

He wanted her to know that, no matter what, he… was her support. In times like this, she had no choice but to seek his help. However, he was disappointed, as Natalie’s call never came.

Looking at the petite woman before him, his gaze deepened. “Do you know?”

“I don’t know, but I’ve already called the police.” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Surprise flickered in his eyes. “The police?”

So, when something like this happened, her first reaction wasn’t to seek his help, but to call the police?

His heart constricted suddenly. A trace of panic flashed across his brows. He grabbed Natalie’s delicate arm tightly, causing her to wince in pain.

Seeing her reaction, Cedric eased his grip slightly. “What did the police say?”

“They haven’t arrived yet!”

“Why didn’t you call me?”

In the past, no matter what happened, she would always call him first.

And at this moment….

Natalie raised her head to look at Cedric Her hand unconsciously traced the contours of the man’s face, but it was no longer as smooth as before. His stubble felt like needles pricking at her fingertips.

She smiled. “You’ve been busy these days, haven’t you? You didn’t even have time to shave. What’s been

Cedric stiffened instantly.

For the past few days, he had been busy with the medical team, attending to Isabella’s damaged eyes and

legs. Knowing that timing was crucial for a patient of her condition, they had been racing against time.

The slightest delay could result in Isabella being blind for life or unable to walk.

Natalie could practically see the wheels turning in Cedric’s mind.

She withdrew her hand. “See, you have more than just me to protec

“Nat.”

Natalie sat down silently. Her entire demeanor seemed to push people away, causing Cedric to hold back the words he had on the tip of his tongue. Whenever they argued and Natalie displayed this

attitude of hers, the only way to calm her down was to leave her alone for a while. This time was no different.

“It seems like you haven’t calmed down over these few days,” he said in an even colder tone.

Recent events had exhausted Cedric, leaving him with no spare energy to appease Natalie, who could sense his impatience. He was tired because of another woman, and so he had no patience when he returned home?

“Blanca has already filed for our divorce. It won’t be long before the court hearing. You have some time to think about it,” she said.

The man’s emotions, already unstable, were further provoked by her words t

“Are you serious?”

He had thought their initial quarrel was just a passing phase, but now, this woman seemed determined to get a divorce, 1

“Yes,” Natalie replied firmly.

The man glared down angrily at her from his taller height, exuding an oppressing air around him.
