Natalie raised an eyebrow and continued, "Aren't you having this much hatred for me because I took the title of 'Mrs. Chase' away from her? In that case, I'll return this title to her.

"Henry, if you're worried about your grandparents putting pressure on you, I'll handle them. I'll make sure you marry Juliet without worries, and I'll never bother you again!"

After making a string of guarantees, Natalie asked uneasily, "In this case, can you stop all this? Can you not demolish my house?"

The house! It just had to be about that house! She came all the way here just to coax him, but she did it just to save her house.

This made Henry feel a wave of unhappiness in his chest. Moreover, she kept bringing Juliet up.

Henry's mouth formed a straight line, and a cold expression appeared on his face.

"If you don't believe me, I'll write you a letter of guarantee, or—" Natalie continued, thinking she wasn't sincere enough.

However, before she could finish, Henry snapped, "Shut the hell up

    Henry frowned even more at Natalie's question. "What? No.""Then, why aren't you going out with her?" Natalie blinked in confusion. Apart from quarreling, she couldn't think of any other reason for Henry to reject Juliet.Henry secretly rolled his eyes, not bothering to explain himself to her. "Can you stand up?" he asked out of the blue."Huh?""If you can, come and have a meal with me," Henry said as he stripped naked in front of Natalie. He literally stripped himself bare.His actions were so expected that Natalie couldn't stop herself from blushing. She had to admit that his figure was irresistible. But she had to stand firm. She didn't forget that she already wanted a divorce. So, she quickly looked away.Noticing her little movements, Henry couldn't resist mocking her. "That wasn't how you acted when you drugged me and took off my clothes. So, why are you acting shy now?"Natalie simply pursed her lips in response, choosing to not argue with him.Henry slowly change

    Natalie lifted her head in confusion. "What?" Henry slowly set down his knife and fork. Then, his gaze casually swept over her as he replied, "I see you've been struggling for so long. Isn't it because you want to achieve something?"Now that I've publicly admitted your status, shouldn't you stop being unreasonable?"He had made that decision partly because he did not want to continue like that with her. It was really exhausting for him. On the other hand, Henry wanted those pestering him to give up. At that moment, realization dawned upon Natalie. So, that was the reason he had publicly acknowledged her identity.It turned out that he just wanted her to stop being unreasonable. However, Natalie believed she was never irrational. Yet, she felt suffocated in this marriage. It was as if their union was a chain tying her down. She wanted to escape from it."Henry, about our divorce … " Natalie started. She wanted to reassert her point of view. However, there was a hint of wa

    "Ms. Shepherd, I'll end the call now if there's nothing else." With that, the caller hung up.The sound of the dial tone rang in her head. Nevertheless, Natalie remained frozen with the phone in her hand. She felt as though her heart had just plummeted from heaven to hell. Everything she had worked hard to protect had disappeared. Natalie snapped back to her senses when she heard the door opening. She had just realized she had slept in Henry's suite the night before. However, she was not in the mood to dwell on it. She quickly got out of bed and approached Henry, yelling, "Henry Chase, how could you be so despicable?"Right then, as she stared at his handsome face, she no longer felt the same attraction she once had. Natalie could not even understand why she had been blind in the first place. What did she love about him? His ruthlessness? His willingness to do anything just to achieve something? Or how despicable he was?Sometimes, all it took was one moment to be ultim

    Since the construction team had torn down the house, there was no point in staying any longer. Natalie then headed back to Leslie's residence. Her relationship was beyond salvageable, and the house she wanted to protect was now in ruins. However, she needed to pull herself together. Natalie still had to prepare for the competition. At the very least, she had to live a decent life. She needed to ensure her future self was capable of protecting the people and things she cared about. When Natalie arrived at Leslie's place, she appeared dejected. The latter approached her, saying, "Natalie, you're back. Let me introduce you to somebody."Natalie followed Leslie's gaze and noticed a man sitting on the couch. The man wore a white shirt. He had rolled up his sleeves slightly, revealing his fair skin. The man was good-looking. However, it was a different kind of handsome from Henry. The man's appearance was exquisite. Natalie felt as though she was looking at a Hollywood s

    Natalie's heart skipped a beat. She lifted her gaze and looked at Sheldon with confusion. As soon as their eyes met, she realized they were excessively close. So, she quickly steadied herself. However, she heard a furious voice before she could step out of his embrace. "Natalie Shepherd!" the person bellowed.Natalie turned around to look. Then, she saw a tall figure standing beneath a streetlight. Although against the light, she could still sense how gloomy he was. Why was he there? She did not want to deal with Henry. Yet, he had started walking toward her. Then, he forcefully pulled her away from Sheldon's arms. "I'm still alive and well! How dare you get intimate with another man already?" Anger flashed in Henry's eyes. There was no way he could stay calm. After pondering about it, he decided to give Natalie a brief explanation. After all, Henry did not want the situation to escalate to a point of no return. But he had rushed there just to witness such a scen

    Natalie looked at Harry, who was approaching her, with confusion. Then, she greeted, "Hi, Harry."Everyone in the family respected Harry. Natalie had married into the Chase family for three years. However, she rarely saw him in person. Despite that, she heard many good things about him. Almost everyone who had interacted with Harry would praise him. He was completely down-to-earth as he smiled at her. "You won't mind chatting with me, will you?"Instinctively, Natalie glanced at the other end of the street. Harry knew who she was looking for and commented, "I'm afraid Henry won't be coming today.""Huh?""I know there's a café nearby. Shall we talk there?" Harry asked while looking at her inquisitively. But Natalie was determined to get a divorce. "Harry, if you're here to be a mediator, there's no need for a chat.""Nah, I'm not really a mediator. I just want to talk to you about Henry. Natalie, can't I buy you a cup of coffee?" Harry said with a smile.Natalie quickly e

    Harry had told her Henry's ward room number. After Natalie arrived at the hospital, she headed straight to his ward. When she reached the ward, she realized the door was slightly ajar. Just as she was about to knock, what was happening inside caught her attention.Henry was lying on his side in the bed. All Natalie could see was his back. But at the edge of his bed, she spotted Juliet sitting there. At that moment, Juliet was looking at him with affection. She even tidied his hair. In that split second, Natalie almost cried because she thought she had done something foolish again. How could she have thought Henry threw a fit and refused treatment because of her? There was no way he would think that she was more important than his health. After all, she was not significant enough. Natalie reckoned that he had put on such an act because he had a little fight with Juliet. Since Juliet was already there, he would surely accept the treatment without fuss. Perhaps both of them

    Stanley continued, "I was also only informed about her pregnancy after asking around when I bumped into her at the maternity department. "I thought you knew about it, so I didn't mention it."Juliet shook her head. A wave of panic washed through her. "How did she get pregnant?" She couldn't accept the fact that Natalie was pregnant with Henry's child. Perhaps the child would even draw them closer. By then, it would be impossible for her to get back with him. She was devastated by the thought. But soon, she comforted herself."It's fine. After all, she's just pregnant. It's still uncertain whether the child can be born safely." There was no need for her to panic at all. "Yeah. Lots of things happen in life. There's no one to guarantee that the child can be born safely," Stanley chirped in without skipping a beat.He gave her a meaningful look as he spoke. He often thought she had become very different from how she used to be. She was sometimes even a stranger to him.

The doctor informed him that Natalie might not be able to hold pens for some time.
